 l The Cheppy wood operations was the easier of the two, owing to the fact that it was daylight and within five minutes after the assault groups had left, the parallels groups of prisoners could be seen running toward the French lines. Everything was carried out on time schedule, and when the
 French returned to their own lines they had secured about 80 prisoners. The second raid on Milancourt wood was a wonderfully impressive spectacle in the darkness just before dawn. The
 correspondent passed the night on
 knoll of the objective, from which noth-
 ing but the occasional rattle of a ma
 chine could be heard, and only flash
 of light seen now and then until a half
 hour before the time it had been ar ranged for the attack to begin. Then,
 the German gunners, evidently suspect
 ing that something was up, let fly sal
 vos all along the line, after which quiet
 reigned again until, with a tremendous
 crash, all the French batteries opened
 fire simultaneously, the signals flashed and infantry went over. Colored lights showed that the troops reached their objeetives at various times previously arranged. Then groups of prisoners began coming back and eventually the Frenchmaa, after com pletng their work of destruction, re- turned to their own lines. bringing fur tber squads of captves, the total reach ing 80.
 Meanwhile, the German artillery,
 which is very strong here, had opened up with a heavy barrage and counter battery fire, but without effect. Soon after daylight, the front was again
 calm.
 1 On the other side of the Mouse the Germans took the initiative in the l course of the day Sunday at Samog
 neux and Bensonvaux, Carriers wood executing raids which cost them dearly.
 A number of American officers at tached for instruction to French units, were in the raid upon Cheppy and Malacourt woods.

British Air17ier1 Are Doing Great Damage
 To German ToUns

LondorI March l9-British airpianes dropped a ton of bombs on the German city of Mannheim Monday, it was of ficially announced tonight
 London, March 19.-Fifty persons were killed and great material damage was when they raided Coblenz, Germany, on March 12 according to neutral traveller who arrived Monday at The Hague.sthe Times says.
 The Times says: The people believed the raiders were Americans the traveller said. T was in the neighborhood of a big munition works at Mulheim (north of Coblenz). and also on the Rhine at 10 minutes past noon when suddenly and the sirens were sounded. Many women rushed from the works for the bonlbproof shelters, while passing street cars were stopped, as the crews boted into houses. Four or five airplanes were visible In the clear sky
 Presently some one exclaimed: They are Americans another screamed aloud : The Americans are coming! A Dutch man I knew rushed up to me and said: Didn't I tell you the Americans would come sooner or later?'
 'L cannot say whether the machines actually were American built, but the striking thing was the evidence that there has been general skepticsm wheth- CT American-made aiiplanes would ever come, and equal fear of them aroused when they did.''
 The neutral traveller added that all though the machines merely doubled over Mulheim on their way to Coblenz, it was not until 4 o'clock that the ''all clear signal was sounded.
 London. March 19.--Two hundred and fifty-five flights into Germany have been carried out by British avia- tors and only 10 machines have been

lost, James Ian MacPherson, parliaN mentary secretary of the war office, announced in answer to a question in the House of Commons today regard ing the results of recent air raids into Germany territory.
 More than a ton of bombs were dropped on Mannheim on March 18 he added. 8l sst Mr. MacPherson said eight direct hits had been obtained on the Badische Sodafrabik at Mannheim. The British
 raiders were attacked by an enem. formation and two of the enemy ma chimes were downed. the others being driven off. All the British returned.
 The 255 flights, MT. MacPherson ex- plained. constituted 3S raids into Ger many, all since October. The aviator5 dropped AS tons of bombs. They had to surmount the difficulties presented by frost, snow, gales and heavy mist, which often prevented them from sec ins the German iron works and fac tories they were to attack. Most of the raids were carried out in daylight. The number of these expeditions in which the amount of explosives dropped were increasing steadily. Photographs which had been taken showed beyond doubt the accuracy of tEo reports made.
 The attacks were concentrated on objects of military importance.
 MT. MacPherson also said there had been a steady increase in the strength Of the enemy's aircraft. defenses These aircraft, however, had been defeated with loss whenever they attempted to intervene.
 Iii daylight, continued Mir. MacPher- son. it had been possible to concen- trate on objects of actual military value. During the night raids, he said British machines had descended to low attitudes and fired at searchlights trains and railway stations. On other occasions the British airmen had at tackled enemy machines drawn up in airdromes. preparatory to making bombing raids into France.
