With their backs to the Alsne,
the Germans continued prepara-
tions today for what may be
either stiff resistance to give
the more time for further with
draWals, or for a definite stand.
Minor actions along the Amerl-
can portion of the front and IN
the adjoining French sectors
marked the day.
The force who were sent into
Fismes still MAINTAIN their foot
hold, although they are yet not
across the river, which flows
through the extreme northern
portion of the town.
The Germans along the lines
opposite the Americans west Of
Fismes used their guns freely
Yesterday IN an apparent at
tempt to discourage the Ameri-
cans and their French Allies
from further aggressive efforts.
The Germans were handicap
ped by the weather conditions.
1t was misty and what German
balloons were up must have been
una BILE to report accurately.
The Germans tried other meth
DDS to get the range for their
heavy guns. Many shells which
threw out black smoke were
hurled toward cross roads and
other objectives to gauge the
range from the smoke clouds.
But the mist likewise hampered
accuracy in observations on
these shells and the attempt
was abandoned
Late in the afternoon the Ger
mans began using mustard gas,
sneeze gas and some chocolate
gas-so named from the odor.
These gas attacks were ineffect-
i've, the American gas drills hav-
ing taught the troo;'s all the
German tricks. Nevertheless,
the Germans were persistent.
They combed the hills bordering

the Vesle with gas shells, en-
deavorlng to reach the roads
leading to Fismes and other
points where they thought the
Allies might be Assem- bling tor
a crossing of the Vesle. At
some places along the highways
the Germans would start plant
ing shells in zigzag line. for a
mile or so and back again, often
dropping them every twenty or
thirty feet and then repeating
the process along the objective
for which they we're aiming.
South of >Bazoches, where the
Germans tried this trick, they
fired lighter gas first, follow
ing it up with sneeze gas, and
then suddenly switching to a
more powerful poison gas, hoping
to catch the Allies mapping. The
men, however, have learned to
discern the various varieties of
shell and have reg ular system
of sending word along the line
for their protection.
Today. likewise, there happen
ed to be southerly wind, which
carried the gas back across the
Vesle, and after putting on
their masks for each attack, the
Americans would laugh as the
gas was blown back.
Meanwhile the American and
French heavy guns 10 the south
were sending IN repeated salvoes,
and the Germans were supple
menting their gas shelling with
mine throwers and machine guns
north of the VesIe These small
er weapons were kept working
full time in the hope of keeping
clear the south banks Of the riv-
er. Darkness came and with it
more rain. The Germans kept
pounding away after dark, but
for every shell the enemy sent
n the Americans sent across
half dozen or more and never
said good night.
