AMERICAN TROOPS ARE NOW
IN BATTLE LINE AT VERDUN
Pershing's Men Repulse Attack on
Trenches of Meuse Heights-WiI-
son Sends Message.

With the American Army in France,
holding a sector on the right bank of
the Mouse within sound of the guns at
Verdun.
The enemy at night raided listens
ing post i'll this new sector after a
heavy bombardment. A quick Ameri-
can barrage inflicted losses on the en-
envy.
These trenches range across the hill
sides. are muddy, but in comparatively
good condition. The dugouts are light
ed by electricity. The sector, until re-
Gently, was unusually quiet, and sol
diers plucked dandelions in mo Mans
Land" The first casualty inflicted by
the Germans was a shell through a
bass drum.
The following message from Presi-
dent Wilson is published in the Stars
and Stripes, the American army's
newspaper:
please convey to the officers and
men of our cXpeditiOnary force the
warmest greetings on the anniversary
of the United States entrance into the
great war for liberty, and say to them
that we not only have been proud of
the way they have so far accounted
for themselves, but we have the utmost
confidence that they will prove them
selves, in every sense, to be made of
the finest metal of free men,"
Because of the topography of the
Meuse heights region there has been
little severe fighting there for many
months, and the opposing forces took
advantage of the inactivity to con-
struct fine dugOuts. Each side enjoys
the advantage of excellent observation
posts, and shells echo among the sur
rounding hills, which are covered with
spring flowers.
The other American sectors were re-
ported quiet. The Germans sent in few
shells in the sector north of TOul, and
the enemy airplanes were fairly active
in patrolling.

Is Expected.

Washington, April 6.-Attorney Gen
eral Gregory took to the cabinet meet
in on Friday report of the lynching
OF a German, Robert z. Prayer, at

President Wilson. The government is
expected to denOunce the mOb's law
less act and to express the hope that
there will be no repetition elsewhere.
Officials made plain that they de-
plOred the incident, both because of
the effect in this country and also be-
cause it is feared reprisals may be
made in Germany on Americans.
Until power is given the federal gov
eminent, as provided in pending bill,
to punish persons making disloyal ut
terances, department of justice officials
fear more lynchings..
| This outbreak was the first report
reaching here of such extreme mob
violence to German, although officials
who have observed the general feel
ing against Germans hay feared such
occurrences

Thursday was in Maryville, H., where
ne addressed miners on socialism. In
his talk he is said TO have made re-
marks derogatory to President Will

when they threatened to do him bodily
harm he escaped to COllinSville, his
home. Some of the miners. however,
followed him and described his ac-
tons to local persons. A crowd soon

his home and led barefooted through
the street waving an American flag.
He was dragged down the street and
beyond the city limits, the crowd
