GERMANS HUNT U. S. HOSPITALS
Teutons Eager to Humiliate Americans
/, on Battle Line.

LONDON. sept 10 Announcement
from France that the Germans have
bombed American hospitals, killing some
Americans, is followed by intimations that
there is reason to believe that the Ger
mans are deliberately picking out Ameri-
can hospitals for attack as part OF plan
to concentrate on Furnishing Americans
whenever and wherever possible. because
of the intense German resentment against
American doctors and surgeons who by
thousands are serving the allies through
out all the theaters of war,
1t is suspected that the initial appear
ance of American troops on the battle
front will be the signal for a desperate
German concentration of effort in an at
tempt to inhict terrific losses and humil
late America in her operations III France
Americans who are expecting this are
planning to make business very actiy,
whenever the Germans start such pro
ceedings.

TODAY'SWAR SUMMARY

The great battle which Gen Cadorna
is waging for Monte San Gabrielle is con-
tinuing uninterrupted. Despite the in
element weather the Austrians are be
ing subjected to unrelenting pressure,
but so far by means of heavy concentra-
tion of fresh troops have been able to
keep the Italians from achieving the
notable success which completion of the
capture of the mountains would consti-
tute. The Italians have captured 14J
guns from the Austrians since the begin
ming of the present offensive
Gen. Petain s troops last night
clinched the success they won northeast
of Verdun on Saturday when they
pushed their lines ahead materially in
the Fosse and Caurieres wood sector.
The Germans were obliged to abandon
their furious assaulting tactics Of the
day because of the heavy losses they
sustained in attacks which left the
French line mistaken.
Paris characterizes the rcpulse sus-
tanned by the Crown Prince here as ian
important one and dwels upon the
extremely serious extent of the casual
ties inflicted by the French fire.
There were only raiding operations
on the remainder of the French army
front and there was similar lack of
activity of a major sort along the Brit
ish line.
