rolling and raiding. thus far have escap-
ed unscathed.
The Americans in this region have ac-
quilted themselves admirably, all re-
ports agreeing that they set about learn
ing the final details of the business for
which they came to France, coolly and
methodically, despite the fact they arc
inhabitants Of one Of the iveiest Sec

facing them.
