Wdr Summary

CContinued from Page One) etrated a considerable distance Near Rheims, too, the French were suhieet- ed to an assault, but here the artillery bore the burden of the fighting.
 The attacks It Verdun and Rhein s however, may be considered for tHhe time being as mere diversions to the principal attack, which has been loosed against the British. They would serve to keep French forces at Verdun and Rheims from being transferred tc the British sector if that part of the battle line should show any signs of bending back.
 9 Austrians In West
 Nothing LSs been reported as to at Jacks on the lines held by the Ameri cans. Ie had been expected that the Germans would make an assault on the American-heid trenches in the LOT raine and Foul sector, according to the theory that troops which have not had expe1ence in engagements of the first lines might be found to yield easier than veterans. That such an attack may be launched and with only slight artillery preparation is within the pos siblliues.
 The activity in the American sec tors during the past three weeks would indicate that the Germans have been concerned win the disposition ot Gene,sl PeTshing's legions. their prob able strength and the location of the batteries supporting the infantry hold ing the lines.
 The Germans have called upon the Austrian army for assistance in their effort to carry the battle to the en- tente allies, for the official reports from Berlin say that Austro-Hungarian artillery is engaged along the western front It is possible that the great Austrian howitzers, or Skodas, have been used against the stronger sec tors of the British lines. The French official report states that the Germans have been sanguinarily repulsed in a number of engagements notably on the Verdnn and Lorraine fronts.

PARIS, March 21.-The conditions Of peace imposed upon Rumania by Austria are more onerous than those Of Germany as regards annexation of territory. According to a Vienna dis patch received here today by way of Bosel. Austria demands that Rumania surrender all her territory west of a line extending from a point east of Red Tower pass to a point on the Danube. near Ghilramar. The Ruman- ian territory involved amounts to ap- proximately 5000 square miles and takes in the mounatin passes known as Vulcan, Oriental and Iron Gate which thus become Austrian.

From Ocna, in Moldavia. al the head of the remaining mountain pass through which a railroad runs. aus tria has delineated for annexation a strip of territory running northward 140 miles and 20 miles wide.
 The Austrian foreign minister, Count Czernin, announced that the territory thus acquired would be made crown, lands. with Turn-Severin as capital the dispatch continues.

AMERICANS ASSIST
 FRENCH IN RAIDS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, March q (By the Assd ressl-The raid into the German DO. sitiOns east of LIIneville last night by American and French troops was car ried under cover of darkness and as a haze Legan to roll in over the hills fac ing the American lines on that partIc ular portion of the sector.
 From an observation station L.gh up in a tree top, the correspondent wal th ed the artillery preparation. It began soon after dusk, orange co1ored bursts of flame where the American guns were firing showing in certain places in the wood round about From the hillsides across the valley the Gerrau guns retaliated.
 For more than half an hour, the bril- liant bluishNFhite flash of their guns was like jumping electric sparks nero and there. Soon the reports of the ex- plosions became deafening roar tha; rolled in from everywhere as the guns far and near came into action. This was the time for the barrage. From the spoot where the shells fell con. stant red glow showed through tie darkness. At the same time the Ger man guns increased their fire.
 As the barrage lifted the roar be came quiet just at the momen. the Americans and French went over th- top. The noise of the German guns sounded like some one beating C big bass drum.
 Soon nearly all the firing ceased and almost immediately the rattle of ma chine guns and automatic rifles began. Occasionally rifle fire broke in and then all was fairly quiet for nearly half an hour. except for occasional bursts of rifle fire and short bursts of auto matic rifles.
 The first members of the raiding party to return to the American front line were the stretcher bearers. When all the raiders had returned, dull ex- plosions sounded from within the en- emy lines and occasionally there were bursts of flame showing where dug outs were being blown up.
 The raiding party came back mud stained and some were smeared witt, blood. They reported they had secured no prisoners beca use the Germans had fled as the Americans and French dropped into their trenches.
 
 while they were trying to get away and oIhers were killed by the Ameri- can shells. One German whc had placed himself between the first and second lines with an automatic rifle was discovered by an American soldier who challenged him. The German turned to draw 8 revolver. The Amer jean promptly killed him and went on further into the enemy lines.
 The patrol got much information of value and except for the lack of pris- oners the raid was pronounced a sue cess from every point of view by both Frenen and American officers.
 Most of iheinfa Htrymen who partici pated in the raid came from New York although there were some from New Jersey. Some oi the engineers who accompanied the party as pioneers were from California.
