Endorsements Sill Come ip iu Large N0mbe Maurice Says AIlics Have Superiority. But
 Lead Is Diminishing.
Associated Press Summary.)

Associated Press Summary.) American troops now have taken up another position in the front in France and with their usual business-like methods already have frustrated an attempt by the Germans to raid their i trenches. The new position is some- where in Lorraine. Altogether more
 than eight miles of trenches now are
 being held by Americans on the vest ern front.
 From Flanders to the Swiss border artillery duels of more OF less violence are taking place on various sectors, and here and there raiding parties of both sides are frequently in operation.
 Altho the snow has ceased there has been but little activity on the chief American sector northeast of Foul. The men of both sides have kept to their trenches and there have been only spasmodic exchanges of shells.
 Germans Prepare For Drive
 German endorsements continue to be sent up behind the lines in Belgium and France, according to General Maurice, director of military operations at the British war office. At present, he says, altho the ene- my has 16 more divisions than the al- lies along this front, the allied troops are numerically stronger, and also hold the upper hand ia rifles. guns and aircraft. but that this, su- periorty is diminished. The major preparations of the enemy for biz offensive are now more or less com plete and the allies must watch for the local preparations which signalize the approach of an attack, General Maurice said
