Washington, May 2S.-American
troops are in the thick of things on
the western front This was shown
by the communique from General
Pershing, declaring that the enemy
was expelled after entering the Amer.
lean lines in Picardy The U. S.
forces entered the German lines, max
ing counter attacks, the statement
last night said.
General Pershing's report said a
strong raiding party was repulsed
with losses in killed and wounded.
While this is not the region in
which the German drive is centered
It demonstrates new activity against
the Americans. Enough American
troops have reached France during
the last few weeks to constitute a
formidable reserve force According
to the best authorities the Americans
will not be used unless the crisis be
comes much more acute.
