SHELL U. S. TROOPS
Krupp Batteries Turned on Towns in
the United States Lines.

With the American Army in
France, April "A considerable
number of Krupp batteries cut loose
against two towns in the American
lines at 10 o'clock Monday night, in
termingling with high explosives,
shrapnel and gas shells.
The enemy's target was a couple of
miles behind the front line trenches,
so it was not necessary for our troops
to stand to- in the open. Conse-
quently they went deep underground
during the intensive shell fire. which
lasted eighty minutes.
At quarter before before mid
night the enemy gunners switched
their attention to two spots where
they believed American batteries
were located. Then suddenly they
slammed down a barrage which, was
particularly intense and indicated
that they feared attack by an Ameri-
can raidins. party.
The Americans, their gas masks on
stood to until the barrage died down
There was no infantry activity.
The Germans then again shelled a
couple of towns without however
causing any casualties. Soon the fir
ing died away, except for occasional
machine gun rattles.

WAIT FOCH MOVE.
Hindenburg Delays Game To
7 Scent Allies Tactics.
Front Now Gets Back to Old
Time Trench Fighting.
BY ]. W. T. MASON.

New York, April 2.-The west front
has begun tic return to the condition
of local raids and patrol encounters
that marks the usual routine CT trench
warfare.
Only toward Amiens as there any
real activity left in Won Hindenburg's
forces. Even here there is a per-
ceptible decrease of the German eff
fort. which suggests General Foch's
measures of defense are becoming eff
fective. The increased artillery activ-
ity east of Arras suggests the pos
sibility of a new German advance from
that direction, but it is far more likely
that Won HIndenburg is now waiting
for General Foch's next move.
Foch Plans UnrevcaIed.
1t would be bad strategy for Won
Hindenburg to engage in a major eff
fort to take Arras. where the British
strength is at its maximum, while
General Foch is preparing hi counter
measures in another sector. Won
Hindenburg's cue is to wait on the de-
fensive while General Foch's plans re-
main unrevealed.
from the Alsace-Lorraine front to
western France is an added reason
why Won Hindenburg will probably
cause his army to dig itself in and
await developments The American
reinforcements added to the new
French and British reserves should
give General Foch a decided numerical
superiority over the Germans. With
this increased force at his command
any serious error in tactics by the Ger
mans can be advantageously seized by
Foch and, perhaps, extended into a
grave German defeat.
Only Activity Before Amiens.
Dof tell
Won Hindenburg may well prefer to
sit in the dark. 1t appears, therefore,
that for the present, a defensive policy
will become operative along the Ger
man front, except perhaps east of
Amiens. The temptation to risk a few
more divisions to capture this impor-
tant center of communications may
cause Won Hindenburg to continue the
slaughter of his army there for while
longer. But, elsewhere, the German
infantry will probably be limited to
raiding and patrol work for the time
being.
