artillery this morning. At the same
time two fires were started in Mont
didier, followed by numerous explo-
sionS.
The weather continues misty and
rainy. There was no infantry action
today and only intermittent machine
gun and rapid fire. The position of
the Germans is becoming more and
more intolerable. while the Americans
are entIenching their positions more
firmly. ANY hopes the enemy might

The Americans take nothing for
