With the American Army North west of Verdun, Monday, Nov. 4, II p. m.-(By the Associated Press)- German forces are strengthening the Mouse line north of the American front. There are indications that this work was resumed during the last few days and that soldiers are labor ing on it day and night. Reports agree that this strengthening opera tion extends along the line running from Mezieres to Montmedy, Longu- yon and Diedenhofen.
 In various places in front of this line, where the Germans have expect ed to make a last stand in France, tank traps already are completed. These traps are 100 yards long, ten yards wide and ten yards deep. They are covered with boards hidden by earth and sod.
 Hidden away in almost the exact geographical center of the Argonne forest far behind the present Ameri- can lines, is a position-called by the French at the outset of the war "Donkey's Head"-which, because of the magnitude of the operations along lIt H4NV 1IOIll IIluS 1clI lloS SSSdpCu especial mention.
 According to unofficial despatches late in 1914, it took the Germans months to capture this veritable fort ress from the French. It is one of the of the glorious, though heretofore un- written chapters in American military history that the doughboys swept over and past this place in few days, and wrested from the enemy without great difficulty a position that might well be considered invulnerable.
