Casualties on Germans
in Raid on Foe Lines
(By Associated Press.}

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sunday, July 21.-American
troops in the raid into the German
lines in Vosges FRIDAY night infiict
ed $50 casualties on the enemy and
sustained practically none themselves.
The German prisoners declared they
had been receiving bad food and poor
ammunition.
Six officers and 16 men have been
commended in French and American
orders for conspicuous bravery in the
preparation and execution" of a raid
in the Vosges recently. This raid was
preceded by half-hour's artillery pre-
paration. Two hundred Americans in
cluding 32 band men as stretcher bear
ers penetrated 500 yards into the Ger
man trenches and inflicted nearly 100
casualties. They also took seven pris-
oners from crack Uhlan troops sent
into the line several days before to
make raid on the American trench
es. The American raid anticipated
the German plan by only a few hours
and occupied only As minutes.
