SURPRISE ATTACK
UNDER BARRAGE

AMERICAN FRONT IN FRANCE.
Nov. 12.-Fresh troops arriving to-
day showed the keenest interest in
stories of a second surprise attack
attempted by the Germans on the
American forces. The attack took
place near the point where number
OF Americans were recently captured.
The newcomers are eager for action.
Both officers and enlisted men be-
haved with great gallantry when a
detachment OF Germans. estimated
at 200. brought their machine guns
within 200 yards of the first line
trench and put on a barrage fire.
The Americans replied with auto
matte rifles and grenades. The Ger
man surprise attack failed OF its pur-
pose, for they found the Americans
primed and waiting for them, where
upon they retired.
Two large boxes abandoned by the
Germans in their hasty flight have
been found. II IL believed they had
planned to blow them up, but were
prevented from doing so by the warm
reception given by the Americans.
