(By The Associated Press) (9 .so
D. mD.-The German efforts to break
up lately improved positions of the
Americans were lessened somewhat
to-day. From the extreme left to
right artillery was employed, but with
out materially altering the situation.
High explosive, shrapnel and Gas
shells were thrown over the front
lines and far into the back areas but
no attempt was made TO counter at
tack on a large scale. and the few
minor movements of the enemy were
brought to a swift end by concen
trated artillery and machine gun fire
Since the Americans began the pres
ent battle they have inflicted more
than 1000 casualties on the enemy
freed forty villages and AZ square
kilometres of French territory and
have captured 10000 prisoners, be-
sides the German wounded who fell
into their hands.
