NORMAL AGAIN,

With the American Army in
France, Tuesday, Feb. by the
Associated fress)-Aside from in
creased aerial activity the American
sector has been normal for the last "a
hours. Harrass,ng artillery fire and
patrolling operations have been kept
up but there have been no clashes.
The American gunners are said to
be growing more accurate daily. They
have been especially effective in reg
istering on the roads and light rali-
ways back of the enemy lines. So ac-
curate has been the shrapnel fire
against the first lines Of the enemy
that they are now nearly abandoned,
the Germans keeping only few men
In them. In sector such as this the
Germans seldom man their first lines
fully but opposite the American po-
sitions they are reported to ne keep
ing considerably less than the usual
number in the trenches. s
The number of enemy snipers and
sniping posts has been reduced still
further by the American sharpshoot-
ers. machine gunners and artillery
men.
Airplanes were overhead every
where today. The enemy late in the
day sent over a considerable number
of machines in battle formation.
They were met and driven back by .
French squadron.
The wounding of three men in con.
sequence of an accident was reported
today. constituting the only, new
casualties. ~

mittee. were based largely on q letter
which Senator w. N. Calder, Of New.
York produced before the.s'executtves

ter was dated in Berlin. August 81.
1914. addressed to the editor of the
Dubuque Telegraph Herald. 1t said
that "As America has been flooded
with lying and misleading reports
from London. Paris and st. Peters
burg" the writer would like to see
published in the Telegraph Herald
some articles which he was forward
ing. These articles were the German

Says Kaiser Loves Peace.
Il will make the assertion" the let
ter continued, that there are no
more peace loving people in the world
than the Germans. from the kaiser
himself to the humblest qiuzen and
there are no people who. have pro-
culture and civilization. sf-
But Germany in recent years has
surpassed all other. countries In
Europe In prosperity and she has in
terfered with the foreign commerce Of
Great Britain. This Is the principal
reason why the small war party in
England. headed by the arch hypo-
critic, Sir Edward Grey, has nursed
the anti-German sentiment among

| The letter closed with the predic-
tion that the German empire would
not be destroyed because ''The hostile
preparations which have been going
on in France and Russia for several
years have been too evident and too
threatening for Germany to ignore, so
they have prepared themselves, and
