Washington.-Secr of War Ba.
ker officially announces that American
forces have formally taken over a sec
ton of the line in France.
The announcement followed a dis
patch from the American expedition
airy force in France, telling OF the lat
est raid on the American trenches by
German forces. In this raid two Amer
lean soldiers were killed, four wound
ed and one made prisoner
1.-THE fact that this and other raids
have taken place and that reports are
beginning to be received daily of men
killed and wounded in action" said the
secretary, makes it proper to say that
American troops are now definitely in
action
When the first detachments of
Americans went into the front lines it
was made plain that this was simply
for training purposes. French troops
were in reserve at all times and would
relieve the American troops when the
latter were brought back from their
baptisms of fire.
Secretary Baker declined to sanction
the publication of the sector that Gen.
Pershing's men have taken over. This
will not be done, it was indicated, un-
til Gen Pershing himself lifts the ban.
Ever since the first contingent IL
Americans went into training behind
the lines the Germans have been seek
ing by aerial reconnaissance and other
means to ascertain where the Ameri-
cans would definitely take position.
Representatives of every class of
military service, including regulars,
national guardsmen and men of the So
lcctive draft, have already gone under
fire, and flattering reports have been
received from Gen. Pershing concern
ing their conduct in action.
