The tremendous success gained

Teutonic forces.
Apprehension that II the

Best information for Italian, as

every one of these-certainly all
the German troops-were drawn
from the Russian front. So were
most of the thousands of guns

Oct. 10. - Under terrible

American army is exchanging
blow for blow with the :

An American lieutenant of the

a communicating trench was
slightly wounded today. He has
the honor of being the first Ameri-

Patrol No Mans Land.
The American infantry stand
their watches on the front lines
and take their regular turns at
patrols into the bleak, deadly
waste that is no mans land.
It is a desolate section where
the blizzardly swirl OF snowflakes

They staggered single file
across valley to see the gun that
fired the first shot of the war. A
young lieutenant from Indiana
told with bSVish enthusiasm how
the first shot came to be fired.
He interpreted his running mar
rative with cryptic commands to
his gunners, working underground.
"The French officers told us
1t was impossible to procure
horses to haul that particular gun
here until daybreak," the lieuten-
ant explained. "He said II we
wanted to drag it up--by mau
powcr-we might beat the others
and thus have the opportunity of
firing the first shot.
But They Do II.

tough job---but they were anxious
to shoot that first she'll. So they
worked thru all that night in the
rain and mud. And they got
