force. The American gunners and rifiemen
were quickly after them. however. and
they were forced to beat q hasty retreat
back to their trenches.
Later the Americans themselves in the
same region took the initiative into their
hands and, sallying forth as raiding
unit, penetrated German positions and
brought back a number of prisoners.
Bad weather generally prevails along
the entire western front, but nevertheless
the Australians have again raided enemy
positions near Warneton, which lies to the
southeast Of Ypres, and taken more pris-
oners and several machine guns. This was
the second venture of the kind on the
part Of the Australians in as many days
in which the enemy losses have been
fairly high.

bombarded the British lines west of Lens,
