Americans Drench with Gas.
The enemy had heavily bombarded
certain positions OF the American lines
and then had sent a sweeping bar
rage across mo Mans Land" En-
emy trench mortars, firing from the
west OF Richecourt, started box bar
rage, and from enemy machine guns
came a rain of bullets.
The American infantry emerged
from their underground covers at the
proper moment and advanced to meet
the expected assault Meanwhile the
American artillery had started
counter barrage against the German
side of NO Mans Land" and ap-
parently this was effective, for, al
though the Americans waited. no
Germans appeared. What happened
on the other side of the line is not
known.
Enemy artillery fire has been
heavy. and some shots were well
placed. The American gunners
gave the enemy batteries a severe
drenching with gas shells.
There has been extraordinary ac-
tivity behind the enemy line and in
ihs front trenches. The Germans
also have moved their batteries
suddenly and changed the direction
of fire. and the artillery firing has
increased.
The American guns in the last
two nights have given most of their
attention to the German positions

troops were being relieved. Prob
ably much damage was done, and
the enemy artillery fire has been of
a retalistory nature.
Enter German Lines.
American patrols entered the Ger
man lines last night at two points
near Richecourt and near Bemieres
One patrol picked up an officer who
had been left behind on the previous
night in front of the German posi-
tions, where he remained all day yes
terday obtaining information.
American 37-millimetre guns have
have broken up an enemy observation
post by direct hits, demolished ma
chine gun emplacements and deluged
enemy dugouts.
Two new observation balloons have
appeared behind the German lines.
One is on the right OF Beney and the
other is near Moelville. Enemy cav
airy has been seen for the first time, a
number having passed along the road
from Bouillonville to Pannes. The
enemy artillery Is now firing from
positions at Lamaitresse, Ponce wood
and southeast of Esseye.
This morning an enemy balloon near
Montsec fell to the ground. About the
same time two airplanes, one carry-
ing an American observer at the ma
chine gun, chased off a German air
plane, while anti-aircraft guns sent
the other scurrying back to his own

MAINE TENDERS
WARM OVATION
TO ROOSEVELT
Former President, IN Ring
ing Speech, Urges Speed
ing Up War Program.

Portland, Me-, March 2s.-Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt received one of the
warmest receptions of his life tonight
when he addressed the State conven-
ton Of Maine Republicans and his
demands for a speeding up of the
war were warmly endorsed by the
assembled delegates and 1000 other
persons who jammed the auditorium.
Spoke as Citizen.
The Colonel spoke as a private citi-
zen. AS he entered the hall the
gathering rose and cheered him for a
little over five minutes. The former
President was visibly affected by his
reception. and in expressing thanks
paid a tribute to the Republicans OF
this State, who he said, had taken
a fit part in all the crises of the ma
ton.
The Colonel often departed from the
set lines of his speech to pay some
mild compliment to the administra-
ton. He called for a much larger
army with the best of equipment His
calls for speed in the war program
struck a responsive chord on his
auditors.
About 1900 persons. including the
WIN
for the purpose. met the former
President at the railroad station at
noon and gave him an ovation. The
Colonel, however, held to the advice
of his physicians and refused to make
any speeches until he reached the
auditorium.
Against Debate.
Roosevelt .2id in his address:
Let US refuse to go into a joint
debate on peace with the Potsdam
people. Let us take our stand on
that part of the Presidents speech
of December in which he said: This
intolerable thing, this menace of
combined intrigue and force. which
we now see so clearly as the Ger
man power. a thing without con-
science or honor or capacity for a
covenanted peace. must be crushed.
Not in all our history has any
political party, when in opposition,
shown so fine. as whole-hearted and
as completely .disinterested patriot
ism as has been shown by the Re-
publican party, especially by its
representatives in the Senate and
Congress of the United States dur
ing the year and two months now
closing.
There have been during the period
very grave faults and short comings
