Trenches; Americans Over Top.
XIII Teutons by Shell and Rifle Fire
Hottest Fighting Vet In the
TuoI Sector.

With the American Army in France,
March 14.-American raiders in the
sector north of Tuol again entered the
German trenches last night at diff
ferent spot than they raided yester-
day.
They found the German first lines
evacuated, as In the morning attack,
and took no prisoners.
The American artillery put down a
perfect barrage, simultaneously ham
mering the German batteries In the
rear. Machine guns whipped the Ger
man trenches where the wire entangle-
ments had been cut.
Under cover of the barrage and ma
chine gun fire, the Yankee infantrymen
enthusiastically went over the top.
They found portions of the German
trenches leveled and dugouts smashed
Some pieces of bodies, blown to bits
by the American high explosive shells,
were discovered.
Al few shots were exchanged with
the Boches, who were late In retreat
ing. The raiders returned within 10
minutes after they had left their own
trenches. Activity on this sector has
been most intense, the American gun
ners causing fires and explosions be
hind the enemy lines.
The American troops east of Lune
Vile, in Lorraine, which places then
very near the Franco-German border
went into the German positions Mon
day and found that the enemy had no
vet returned to the trenches he evac
uated the day before. Despite German
artillery fire against them, the raiders
came back to their own lines Withou
casualty.
Along the Chemin des Danes th'
crew of German air raider, Whicl
fell at Clamecy Monday night wa
made prisoner by American soldiers
The Germans later were turned owe
to the French.

TO FRENCH FRONT
Shakeup Of Commanders Of Draft
Troops Accompanies An
nounCement.
ALLIES APPEAL FOR TROOPS
Whole Movement Across is Beng
Speeded Up as Rapidly as Posi-
BILE, Says Gen. March-War
Material Ready.

Washington, March 14.-New orders
have gone forth to speed the sending
of troops to France.
In consequence the drafted men are
to be dispatched to Europe as fast as
ships are available.
Sweeping changes in the command
ing personnel of the American army
were foreshadowed when seven gen.
eral officers were relieved OF held
commands and assigned to home duty.
The shakeup is a result of the de-
mand of General Pershing that only
commanders physically fit be sent
abroad.
The officers affected are:
Maj. Gen. Thomas FL. Barry, relieved
from command Eighty-sixth division,
Camp Grant, ILL.,, and assigned to COM
mand central department, Chicago, re-
lieving Maj. Gen. w. III. Carter. re-
tired.
Maj. Gen. Edward III. Plummer, to
brigadier general; relieved from com
man Eighty-eighth division, Camp
Dodge, la.
Maj. Gen. Richard w. Blatchford,
to brigadier general, commanding de-
partment of Panama.
Maj. Gen. Edwin ST. ]. Greble, to
brigadier general, and relieved or
command Thirty-sixth division, Camp
Bowie, Tex.
Maj. Gen. Charles G. Morton, re-
lieved from command Twenty-ninth
division, Camp Mcclellan, Ala.
Maj. Gen. William II. Sage, to briga-
dier general. relieved of command
Thirty-eighth division, Camp Shelby
| Miss.
~ Mai. Gen. William A. Mann, briga'
dier general, commanding Eastern de-
partment, New York.
The reductions in grade were made
(, because all except Barry and Morton
were holding their higher grades only
for the period of the war on assign
ment to the National army.
All general officers abroad, includ
ing Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, it was
indicated, also must pass rigit
physical test.
National army commands were The
first affected, because of orders tt
rush the draft divisions to France.
Allies Appeal for Troops.
The orders to speed up are reported
to have resulted from fresh appeals
of the allies for more American forces
to help withstand the expected Ger
man offensives.
France, particularly, is said to have
renewed her urgings.
'1The whole movement across" salt
General March, "is being speeded al
rapidly as possible"
simultaneously with the shakeul
and orders to speed up transportation
came cheering news that all records
in preparations are to be smashed.
From the shipping board and diplo
matte sources came assurances tn
transportation situation is rapid,
clearing.
Food, clothing, shells and guns ar
beginning to pile up in prodigou
amounts.
All records In training men hav
been broken. The draft army, afte
six months, is as well trained as
can be on this side of the Atlantic
It was Indicated at the war depart
ment the selects were ready for tn
final training In France.
