When Foofa not only stopped the well-conceived offensive of the Germans, which was to be their final and triumphant march on Pans but immediately bunched a counter-offensive with what seemed recklroa abandon againsLthe German lines, he met with unexpected success. By hard and wclMirected fighting be forced the German* to retire on both sides of the Chatcau-Thierry triangle. So rapidly w.s the assault pre»ed that the Germans, in danger of a disastrous rout, called into action thetr strongest reserves. It was then that the Germans detcmin-d to send the invincible Prussian Guards against the advance. It was the “Rainbow’ division that met this onset of the Prussian Guards. The Prussian Guards have been regarded by the German j^oplc for more than a century as the ideal of the German army. They have been considered not only as the best that German military science could produce but vastly superior to any other military orgaruzat.on m the worldThev were not called into action except' upon extraordinary occasioju. They were rent against the Americans to demolish them, to put them to shame, to show their lack of training and incompeten-y. The Fourth, their crack division, the brot of the best, hitherto undefeated, led the ltU Tho guards cliarged in due form, but, strange to say, the Americana refused to yield. The “Rainbow’’ boys met the onset calmly and resolutely and w ith such a well-direrted storm of rifle und machine-gun fire that it blinded and .tunned and finally stopped the fierce assault. And then the boys from Camp Crack and Smoky Hollow counter charged with a swiftness and ferocity tliat took the breath away from the wondering guards. The Americans simply went through the front ranks of the invincible guard, as if it were an everyday divemon.
