The attack was made August IL In

AS a result Of the operation the line
was Strengthened out between Frapelle
and Lesseux (six miles southeast of
Frapelle), cutting off an ugly German
salient.
This sector has been regarded as a
quiet one, and the action began merely
as raid into the enemy's' position.
The raid was preceded by a straight
bombardment for few minutes, fol-
lowed by a box barrage that penned

When the Americans went over the

piled heavily to the American artillery
fire. and they also shelled the entire
neighborhood throughout the day.
The enemy fire, which included
barrage, was ineffective. The Ameri-
cans have occupied the former German
trenches and consolidated them against
counter attacks.

Exports of tin, quinine and other
commodities originating in the islands
