Incident of the Dramas Which Are Staged in "MO-Man'S S-land'
 on War Front.
WHY AN AMBUSH FAILED
ShadoWy Forms of Boches Were Seen Emerging When They Took
 Alarm.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Nov. 22. - Additional details about the night patrol ambus- cade arranged by the Americans in the hopes of trapping Boches, show that a cough on the part of one of the American soldiers defeated the purpose of the ambuscade. The cough also brought the soldier a wound in his hand
 The soldiers, as already told, had observed a point where German pa trols came forth every night to roam about "no-man's land" and set about to trap them.
 Each man of the volunteer patrol had been drilled in his part and just what he was to do. The men crawled across the shell-potted field, having first removed all metal which might make the least sound and be- tray their presence, save their fire arms. They finally took up their positions within the German wire entanglements, near shell-ruined village. where they could plainly hear the movements of the Boches in the first line of trenches.
 Several of the Americans had caught cold in the trenches, but managed to control them. Finally the shadowy forms of the enemy pa tro1 were seen approaching and ev- cry man prepared for quick work, in the hopes of paying back with in terest the German raid on the Amer ican trenches.
 At the critical moment one of the Americans coughed. The enemy pa trol quickly disappeared into the trenches from which they had emerged, and shortly sent a hail of machine gun bullets toward the spot where the Americans had waited for them. One of the bullets hit the man who had coughed in the hand.
