American Batteries Concentrate Fire On German
Positions In Revenge For the Gas
Shell Attack Of This Week

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. March 1.-Safe retribution has
fallen upon the German batteries which
this week bombarded American trenches
northwest Of Toul with gaS shells. The
American heavy artillery concentrated its
fire on the German batteries for half nm
hour and obliterated its positions. Nus
merou~ hits were observed.
Many direct hits with high explosive
shells were made by the American gunners-
Timbers were thrown high in the air and
explosions, probably of enemy ammuni-
ton and gas, resulted. The ground around
the German batteries was chnrned upside
down and If there were any Germans there
they certainly suffered death.
Thus far * men have died from effects
of German gas shells. More than eighty
are in the hospitals suffering from gas
poI~on~. Most of these are slight and
