American troops have made their
first permanent advance into Ger
man positions on the western front.
Northeast of BadoaviIlers, in the
LuneviIIe sector, trenches which the
enemy was forced to abandon have
been consolidated with the Ameri-
can first line.
Repeated American raids on this
sector and the effective work Of the
American eunners forced the Ger
mans to give up the trenches.
The new position gives the Amer
lean and French troops higher
ground from which to operate
against the common foe. Badon
villers is eight miles west Of the
German frontier and is almost
directly west of strassbura, capital
of Alsace. The American position
here is about eighteen miles south
east Of the Rhine Marine canal,
where the Americans first entered
the trenches last November.
On both the LuneviIIe and TouI
sectors the American artillery has
been firing many shells into the
German positions. Northwest Of
Toul German plans for gas attack
again were frustrated when Ameri-
can gunners destroyed four groups
Of gas projectors which had been
placed in position. German batteries,
trenches and wire entangIements
are being harrassed by the heavy
fire Of the Americans.
Fighting activity on the British
front from Ypres south toward
Arras continues at a sharp pitch.
There has been heavy artillery fir
ing on the French front and tho
French have repulsed three German
raids.
The sector at LunevilIe is the
one occupied by the Rainbow divi-
sion, of which the 168th' regiment,
The old Third Iowa, is a part, and
it is probable the casualties in the
Iowa, regiment, reported yesterday,
occurred during the advance.
