UNITED Press stan Correspondent.


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
LORRAINE, May 1O.-The Germans
opposite the American lines in Lor-
rains continue to show evidence Of
uneasiness. They are speeding up
their machine gun and artillery fire
and increasing their gas lombard
ments, evidently seeking to forestan
an aggressive action by our men.
Despite the fact the German officers
tell their men that the Americans
here are few in number-according TO
enemy prisoners-the Boches have be-
come absolutely unaggressive, so far
as infantry combats are concerned.
They retire from their front lines
every night, our patrols have dis
covered. German deserters are con.
tinuany coming in TO the American
lines.
Lieutenant Cassidy, Of Wichita,
Kan, has been decorated with the
Croix de Guerre. He took a patrol
under cover of darkness 40 yards
inside the German lines. The patrol
captured a German position. killing
several, and bringing back four pris-
oners. They crawled all the way
back to their trenches on their
stomachs, owing to the flares sent
up by the Germans. The raid was
made without assistance from Ameri-
can artillery.

He was notified to get out OF the

Anybody looking at Captain Pey-

specifically, there can be no special

sions that produce war. It would be
an insincere as we'll as an insecure
peace that did not exclude them in de-

arrangements or understandings with
particular nations, but the United
States is preparing to assume it's full
share of responsibility for the main
tenance of common covenants and u.s.
ual understandings upon which peace
must henceforth rest. We still read
Washington's immortal warning
against 'entangling alliances with full
comprehension, and an answering pur-
pose. But only special and limited
alliances entangle, and we recognize
and accept the duty of a new day in
which we are permitted to hope for a
general alliance which will avoid en-
tanglements and clear the air of the
world for a common understanding
and the maintenance of common
