Our artillery laid down a terrific
barrase that entirely cut off the at.

A number Of light machine guns
were captured In this new fighting,
raising the total taken since last night
to more than sixty.
Final checking up Of the Boche pri-
soners taken in last nights and to-
days operations is expected to show
more than GOO.
Last nights advance progressed
farther at some points than was first
reported. It is now established that
the maximum penetration was about
kilometer and half, or nearly a
mile.
While the German counter attack
was under way this morning, eight
American fIiers successfully engaged

Of last nights battle. The fight lasted
thirty-five minutes
Two Germans, from height Of 49,
900 feet, dove through an American

Into an ambuscade. The Americans
saw the trap and attacked In battle

The warm feeling toward Ameri-
