HEAVY GAS ATTACK
ON AMERICAN LINE
Huns In Luneville Sector, How.
ever, Are Repulsed With
Heavy Losses

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. May 2s-The enemy launched
another heavy gas attack against our
troops in the Lunevlle sector early this
morning and attempted to reach our line
at three places. They were repulsed with
comparatively heavy losses.
The first attack. made two kilometres
southwest of Premenil broke down under
the hot machine sun fire from the Amer
ican trenches, the Germans retreating.
Both the Americans and Germans fought
In gas masks.
Soon afterward the enemy put down a
heavy barrage kiometer to the west
and IA Germans managed to penetrate
a trench in which the Americans on Mon
day we're subjected to a gas attack and
who were fighting mad.
The Americans emerged from their dug
outs and hand to hand fighting, which
was bloody for the Germans, ensued, the
Americans going for the enemy with
knives and bayonets.
The Germans had been ordered to take
prisoners at any cost, but they failed
to get any.
The American losses were insignificant.
The enemy lost all the II men who pene-
trated the American positior-nine hav-
ing been killed, one having died OF
wounds and four having been made
prisoner.

SPECIAL British military mission to

in discussing the renewal of the Ger

In concealing their preparations so
as to make surprise attack, Gen

aided probably by four factors;
Their preponderating number Of
divisions; good railway system; the
proximity of woods to their first OBJ
jectves where large numbers of
troops could be concealed and the
fact that this front long had been
organized for attack.
The objectives now before the
