garding the purchase of some regis

spent. Returning to the city he met
a number of old aequaintances, was
driven over the city and entertaind
pleasantly until the arrival of the af-

With the American Army in France
April 14.--Yesterday's battle was the
first all-day struggle in which the,
American troops have been engaged.
Two German attacks, which were de-
livered in force against the American
positions northwest of Toul, were re-
pulsed with heavy casualties to the
enemy, including 36 prisoners left in
the hands of the Americans. The
American losses were slight. NJ
Pursue Foe to Second Line. el
The fighting began with one Of the
most violent bombardments ever laid
down in that sector During the
night the Germans kept up har-
RAISING fire, throwing many gas shells
into the American position. The first
attack began at o'clock in the morn
ing and was directed against the
French troops on the left flank Of the
American forces in the forest Of Ap-
remont.
While this was going on the Ameri-
can troops made counter-attack on
the German line, moving forward be-
hind perfect curtain of fire. The
enemy, driven out of his trenches,
was forced to fight in the open.
A deadly machine gun and auto
matte rifle fire was poured into the
enemy, who offered stubborn resist
ance at first, but later retreated to
their second line, hotly pursued by
he American troops. Desultory fight
ing continued for several hours.
Barrage Cuts OFF Germans.
The Germans again attacked at IL
o'clock at point further to the right. \
The American barrage fire cut them
off, but the German officers drove
their men through the exploding
shells until few succeeded in pene-
trating the American front line.
A counter attack which was imme-
diately launched by the Americans
elected the enemy, driving him back
to his positions. The struggle con-
tinued to sway back and forth for
several hours.
While the action was at its height
the commander Of an American ma
chine gun unit reported to his chief
that all the machine gun emplace-
ments had been shot away, but that
every gun is working like hell.o

ed to be in keeping with the tradition
ally brilliant conceptions of the mas
ter mind of the French general staff.
But the difficulties which Gen.
Foch may now be contending with
are not known, and what appears like
simple strategy to army men here
may, and doubtless is, impossible of
execution.
From a more or less elementary
study of the present situation it would
seem to army men here as if Gen.
Foch might strike at the exposed
flanks Of the German wedge driven
into the region of Armentieres, or
might strike at the wedge extending
toward Amiens from the south.
