Prompt Action BY American Ar
tilIery Puts Nnk In the
Enemy Program.
CASUALTIES INFLICTED
Germans Taken Completely by Sur
prise and HaIted-U. s. Troops
Now Hold Sector Near
1oul,

With the American Army in
France, Feb. 5.-The military censor
has permitted the announcement
that the Americans hold sector in
the battle line at point to the
northwest of Toul. Announcement
of the number Of men holding the
line is not permitted.
Toul is the great French fortress
about 40 miles to the west of Nancy.
Prompt action by the American ar.
tillery has once again prevented an
attempted German raid. There Ia no
doubt in the minds of the officers
which directed the Sammies' fire that
heavy casualties we're inflicted upon
the German officers and men who
were massed in the enemy's front line
for an attack. Information had reach.
ed the Americans that the Germans
were about to deliver a surprise at
tack shortly after midnight. The as.
sault was to be launched without ar.
tillery preparation, the Germans evil
IDENTIFY counting upon the previous
nights artillery duel having cut out
wire entanglements.
But they had reckoned without the
Sammies.
Our artillery laid heavy barrage
along the enemy front line just few
minutes before the time of the con-
templated German attack. This took
the enemy completely by surprise.
During the day the Germans she'll
ed the roads with gas. There were no
casualties on our side.
Toul is an important link In the
great chain of French southern for
tresses built to ward off German In
vasion from the Alsace-Lorraine bases,
other bulwarks being Nancy, Epihal,
and Belfort and to the north of Toul,
Verdun itself.

WASHINGTON. August 12-Achieve-
ments of State councils OF defense
were praised by President Wilson to-
day in letter to Secretary Baker In
reference to the secretarys suggestion
that the machinery OF the State coun-
ellis be used as far as possible by all
Federal agencies in extending their
work.
II have read with great interest your
account of the achievements of the
State councils of defense and your gen.
eral summary of the activities in which
they are now engaged. 1t is notable
record, and / shall be glad to have you
express to the State councils my ap-
probation of the services they have so
usefully rendered. / am particularly
struck by the value of extending our
defense organization into the smallest
communities and by the truly demo-
cratic character of national system
so organized.
"I believe in the soundness OF your
contention that in the interest oi
economy and efficiency such machinery
as that provided by the State council
system for the execution Of many kinds
Of war work should be utilized as far
as possible by Federal departments ana
administrations. May / suggest, there
fore, that you communicate to the heads
of all such departments and admins
trations my wish that when they are
considering extension Of their organ
izations into the State or new work to
be done in the State, they determine
carefully whether they cannot utilize
the State council system. thus render
ing unnecessary the creation Of new
machinery; and that they transmit all
requests for action by the State couE
ellis through the State councils section
OF the Council OF National Defense?"
