A German sniper's position had becu

Americans, who names cannot be given
got together and planned to put this
particular bunch of boehe out of busi-
ness.
Without calling for any artillery
preparation or barrOge, or any other
fancy appurteaanee of modern warfare.
they ieaped over the parapet and start
ed running across No Man S Land, in
full view of both armies.
Arriving at the enemy's post, they
tumbled into the trench and encounter
ed a German officer and twelve men.
The bOches ran up connecting trench
so fast that the three doughboys only
had time to kill the officer and four of
his men.
Those that got away were yelling for
help at every jump. In few moments a
large force of the enemy was heard com
ing toward the post. The doughboys.
however, stripped the dead officer of
his papers, containing a code book and
other important information, before
leaving.
They ran back to the American lines
pursued by flock of boche bullets.
Their success won them plenty of re-
eruits for another personally conduct
raid, organized forthwith. Reports of
this second daring operation have not
vet been received.

wheEe, using heavy iron bar he had
Isecreted, he pried two of the bars loose
from the window. Slipping through the
opening he walked unconcernedly and
unchallenged out of the big gates under
the eyes of the guards who took him
for trusty, as he had expected they
would do.
He was missed shortly and pursuit
was taken up at once, couple of blood
hounds being put on dis trail. However
he must have found some way to throw
off the scent as he was not caught de-
spit.s the fact that he evidently remain

Believes II True That General
Foch VIII Only Use
Americans In Reserve
By J. w. 7. Mason
Omitted Press war eXpert)


New York, May 13 - America 4
great armies now in France are not to
be used by General Foch for defensive
fighting, but are being held back for
offensive operations when the allies
generahssimo decides the time has
come for major operations against Won
Hndenburg.
The fact that the rapidly increasing
overseas strength Of the Americans is
not accompanied by enlargement of
American sectors in Picardy and Flan.
ders undoubtedly means that General
Foch wants American participation
during the present period Of fighting
to be on a strictly limited scale, and
chiefly for its morale errcct
This attitude of General F'0ch dem
onstrates that he believes the defens-
i've powers of the Anglo! French forces
are sua alicient to prevent the Germans
from doing any serious damage along
the wesu front. The Americans, there
fore, according to Foch IS plan, are not
to be thrown away by engaging in the
negative work of holding present posi-
tions, but are to have the honor of de-
livering the next positive blow for
democracy against the kaiser's forces.
1t is certain that General Foch will
not be tempted to use the Americans
in o great offensive until American
man power in France has reached its
full strength. General Foch has shown
highly unusual qualities Of patience
and avoidance Of temptation He can
be trusted, therefore not to waste Am
erica s strength in series Of second
airy offensives.
1t is increasingly unlikely that this
blow will fall ON the Germans in Pi-
cardy or Flanders. The Lorraine front
continues to offer the greater pcssi.
bilities Of success. The capture Of Metz
may represent the first great victory
of the United States In Europe. The
retention by the Americans of then
trench positions in eastern France
strongly suggests that Foch is relying
ON General Pershings men for major
operations in that direction. From
Metz to the. Rhine seems to be the
road America will take to win the
war for democracy.

TO all. The brigading plan was assen.ed

involved sacrifice Of American pride.
Because OF the fact that the brigad-
ing process has been under way for
some time, with at least portion OF the

here believed Americans already fight
