WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, March 10. (Delayed) A
mixed force of American and French
troops penetrated German positions
to depth of 1000 yards in three
successful raids on tie Champagne
front yesterday.
The raids were preceded by an in
tense bombardment that levelled the
German defenses and blew up Ger
man dugouts
There were twice as many French
in the raiding parties as Americans.
(NOTE: The number of Ameri-
cans was deleted by the censor.)
Two wounded Bavarians were pack
ed up by the raiders and brought to
the American lines as prisoners.
The same American colonel who
went 'over the top" with the French
in their great raid last Monday, in
which a Bavarian lieutenant was cap
tured, accompanied the Americans
this time
The German positions were found
to have been Dulverized by the can
nonade.
A French division general congrat-
ulated the Americans on their sue
cess and on the fact that they lost
no prisoners.
Zero hour" (the hour of attack q,
was set for five minutes after five in
the afternoon. The artillery had been
pounding the German works since
noon
1t took the first assaulting party
just Is minutes to reacn the Germans
wrecked positions
The party found that the Bavar-
ians had evacuated taelr lines under
the heavy shell fire. having left
number of bodies behind them in their
flight.
Two minutes later an American
lieutenant telephoned TO the Ameri-
can staff officers in the American
lines:
I'VE are in The German second line
now. Everything is progressing ac-
cording to our plans"
The raiders carried a telephone
outfit with them across mo Mans
Land" unreeling the wire as they ad-
vanced
A clean cut "hox bar rge fire" pro-
tected the raiders in front and on
both flanks.
CA box barrage is curtain of fire
which is distinguished from the ordi-
nary barrage by reason of the fact
that it protects attacking parties on
both sides as we'll as IN the 'front.'
The enemy's six inch pieces kept
up a harassing fire and half dozen
shells fell near an American colonel
The raiders obtained much data
from the ruined an abandoned dug
outs. They also foand much mater
ial which the Bavarians had discard
ed when they evacuated their lines
under the bombardment
