AMERICANS ROUT GERMANS
Sammies Become Adept at Patrol
Fighting in No Mans
Land

With the American Army in France,
Nov. 14.-American soldiers are rap
idly becoming expert at patrol work,
and their officers say they carry on In
No Mans Land as If they had been at
it for years. This Is explained partly
by the fact that activity In No Mans
Land along the sector held by the
Americans virtually is open warfare,
which is distinctly an American game.
Already stories of the heroism of in
dividual soldiers during trench raids,
are coming to light. A recent incident
involved five privates who rushed from
their dugout as the Germans entered
the trenches. Standing, kneeling, and
lying in front of the entrance they fred
on the enemy so successfully that they
prevented the Germans, who made sew
eral attempts, from entering. 2
