Favorable weather on most OF the
western front has led to increased
fighting, but none of the armies has
yet made an attack in great strength.
All apparently are keyed up to the
highest pitch, and the raids into oppos-
ing trenches are becoming, stronger
each day.
In the Champagne, where the Ger
man artillery has been very active, the
French have withstood a German at
tack. The effort was repulsed by the
French, with severe losses to the at
tackers. American raiding parties and
American gunners both are busy on the
sectors northwest of Toul and east OF
Luneville. The Germans do not re-

Americans, but fee 10 the rear lines
