MONDAY

With the American Army-Forc- es of American troops, cooperating with French soldiers, have made three raids on the German trenches in the Lorraine sector during the past twenty-four hours. Two ot the raids were executed simultan- eously last night. The Americans swept past the enemy first line and penetrated the second line trenches six hundred yards back. The two raids were made after a four-hour bombardment, in which the German positions were leveled at the middle. The Americans, with small detach- ments of French troops at their Hanks, moved on the Germans be- hind a creeping barrage. When they had reached the enemy first line, the barrage was lifted, thus boxing in the German positions. NBut when the Yankees entered the trenches, they found them deserted, the Germans evidently having been driven out by the bombardment.
 In the Champagne district, the Americans engaged in another raid, assisted by the French. They pene- trated the German lines for dis tance of 1000 yards and captured two hundred Bavarians. The raid CTS returned without a single Yam kee having been captured.
 Gas shells are being used by the Americans with telling effect. The Yankee artillery has been especially active during the past 24 hours in the Foul sector, vigorous fire hav- ing been directed at certain towns occupied by the Germans, to rear areas, roads and communicating trenches. Excellent results are re- ported.
 Northwest of Foul, the American positions were subjected to heavy fire from the German guns yester- day and many casualties are re- ported.
