With the American Army in France, February 24.-Last night and today the German bombardment on various points within the American lines northwest of Toul was considerably more intense than usual. Today the enemy, who was more active in many ways, apparently was using still more guns than customary.
 Little damage has been done by the bombardment, although three men were slightly wounded early this morning.
 Last night enemy patrols made persistent efforts to penetrate the American wire defenses, but without success. One patrol was fired upon and driven off while wire-cutting, probably preparatory to a contem- plated raid.
 Large troop movements were going on back of the enemy's lines during the night.
 There was no aerial aitivity today owing to the weather conditions.
 SATURDAY REPORT
 With the American Army in France, February 24.-(Saturday, February 23. .)-In the American sector north west of Toul today the Germans tried the. tactics of concentrating artillery fire on one of the American positions, apparently with the purpose of ob- literating it. The American guns pun ished the German batteries with a doubly heavy retaliatory fire and then swept the enemy lines with vicious bar-age, undoubtedly inflicting con- siderable damage.
 The German guns promptly ceased fire. Whether they were silenced or stopped firing for other reason. is unknown, but since that time hardly a shot has been fired from that point.
 Last night a German patrol was found once more within the American wire. It was drlven back by machine gun and rifle fire American patrols worked freely, without interference.
 The Germans today dropped into the American trenches an entirely new type of bomb, resembling baseball. No dam- age was done.
 Along the front generally there was less firing, owing to the free visibility. The Germans continue to bomb towns behind lhe lines.

Papers Found on austrian Sold
icrs Capture RcOcal Strange
Story.
tBy Associated Pres. I

WASHlNGTON. June 25.-An Official
dispatch from Rome to-day says the
Austrians arc in full retreat. and that
papers taken from prisoners show Aus
tria had not contemplated the possi-
hil!ty of defeat. and was promising her
soldiers this offensive would be the last
stroke TO put Italy out OF the war.
The dispatch follows:
The AuStrians are in full retreat
They evidently foresaw tho possibility
OF an Italian defeat. but never antici-
pated the possibility OF their own de-
feat. Papers found on all the prisoners
say that the offensive against Italy
was TO be the last stroke which would
put Italy out OF the war and force her
20 make a separate peace. The Aus
TRAN soldiers were promised food and
booty. This explains the extraordinary
bravery with which the Austrians have
fought.
In the region Of Monticello the Italians
have found the body Of the aviator.
Major Baracca. who had failed to re-
turn during the first days OF the ope-
rations in that region. A bullet was
found in the risht temple. This leads
to the belief that when Major Baracca
saw that his disa b!cd machine forced
MIN to descend into the enemys lines
he Killed himself rather than be cap
;uEed
Italian hydroplanes succeeded in
setting fire TO large Austrian ship
steaming near the Eastern Adriatic
coast. The fire was started by bombs
dropped from Italian machines.
General Diaz has answered Premier
Orlando's messages saying that the CO.
operation OF the whole nation assures
the future success Of the country.
The King has awarded the gold
medal for bravery 10 the leaders OF the
Polish leGions fighting at our fronts"
