AMERICANS IN TRENCHES
PUT IN HARD DAYS WORK

With the American Army in
France, Thursday, Feb. 14.-Quiet
still prevails in the American sector,
hardly a shot having been fired dur
ing the day. The visibility is ex-
tremely pooI. From the sounds being
heard from the German side it is ev-
ident the enemy is taking advantage
of the opportunity to strengthen his
position, building new dugouts, and
probably new trenches and mortar
emplacements. The American troops
also were hard at work today. i'm
proving their trenches and dugouts.
American patrols last night heard
the clanking of steel and much ham,
mering in the German lines, but
were prevented from investigating
further by a German dog, as on a
former occasion barked and put the
Germans on the alert. Only one cas-
ualty was reported today. A man
was killed by stray bullet from a
machine gun while walking between
two towns within the lines.
The French authorities today turn
ed over to the Americans a tract of
land behind the lines for use as a
cemetery. This is in line with the
plans previously announced for the
care of the American dead in
France.
