Wdr Summary

In the past years of the war period of extraordinary activity by the aerial sQuadrons of the cOntending armies in France has been considered as an in dicatiOn that events were rapidly shaP- ing themselves for offensive by one side or the other At the present mo- ment the most notable feature of the war situation is the remarkable work of Americans in various circles where a German attack is lOked for This activity has not been restricted to the actual battle area but far back of each front there have been daring raids. The Rhine cities are being frequently bombed, while Paris has again been in danger of a new German attack from the air
 American aviators have borne a prominent part in this fighting. In the Luneville and Foul sectors they have given a magnificent account of them selves, while further north, and even in the defense of London, they have demonstrated their fighting capacity.
 Te.Etons Hampered
 The German plans for resumption of the offensive in France have been seriously hampered by the sudden blows O: the allies here and there along the fronts. The Germans have been forced back at numerous points and new lines which may be more cas- fly defended have been established by the allies.
 The Americans on their own sector, haua oriUan flsra Tho artillery has battered the German lines night and day. while the infantrymen have raided German outpost positions and have proved themselves capable of outwitting and outfighting the en- emy. General Pershings men have won several hot fights with the foe and have captured prisoners. A night gas attack was loosed on the Germans by the Americans near Toul, three waves of shells drenching a wooded position of the enemy with poisonous fumes
 The French. too, have been at work in various sectors particularly in the Somme region. They have gained ground here and there at points where positions. of tactical value were wrest- ed from the Germans
 Say British Reduced Furtuer north. the British front has been fairly alive with tremendous bursts of artillery fire coming at inter. vals. The German official statement says that British attacks at various points were repulsed.
