Washington, April 23.-Gen. Per-

forces In the Toul sector Saturday Is
understood to indicate that the Ameri-
cans sustained more than 200 casual
ties, and to estimate the German
losses at between 300 and 400.
With the American Army In France,
April 23-"Our troops were over
whelmed by superiority of numbers,
but fought to finish"
This was the official characterize
tion by field commander Of the
American troops. who successfully re-
pulsed an enemy onslaught In the Toul
sector, in his report to headquarters.
Details OF the engagement, which
the correspondent pieced together
from interviews with officers and mon

that the Americans stuck to their
guns while the Germans were placing

Ing themselves for resumption Of the
great German offensive. Since the
savage attack on the American forces
at Seicheprey on Saturday there has
been no fighting Of an extraordinary
nature along the front, but there have
been indications that the Teutons are
almost ready TO resume the sledge

at the allied armies. Unless recent
operations have been feints. 1t is prob

the Germans. One probably will pivot
on the village Of Robecq, northwest OF
Bethune, on the southern side Of the
salient driven into the allied lines back
OF Armentleres. The other is expected
to develop at or near Mesnil, north OF
Albert, on the north side OF the Somme
salient.
The Germans have attempted two
great frontal attacks on the defenses
OF Lens and Arras, but they have been
repulsed with terrible losses to the
attackers. These losses were inflicted
upon the enemy before he reached the
stronger allied positions In that sector
