Hit Back With Yankee
Punch-Germans BOmbard
Our Hospitals.

With the American Army on the
French Front, May 81, (By the AS
soc1ated Press)-In the simultaneous
attack of three German raiding par
ties against the American positions in
Picardy today, the enemy penetrated
the American first line to depth of
200 yards.
A brilliant counter attack threw
the Germans out and the Americans
kept on until they had entered the
enemy first line, where they remained
until ordered back.
The Germans suffered heavily in
the fighting which was of hand-to-
hand nature at times. Several pris-
oners were taken by the Americans.
After a lull of several days the ar
tillery bombardment in Picardy has
become more intense on both sides.
The Germans are thIrWing many
shells into the American lines. The
American gunners are returning the
fire tWO-fold.

ENEMY ATTEMPTS To
RUSH OUR TRENCHES
Infantry Charges After Pro
jectOrs Throw Gas
Wave.

with the American Army in France,
May 27 (By The Associated Press) -
German ra1ding troops attacked the
Americans in the Luneville sector this
morning. In sharp fighting the raiders
lost five men killed. The Americans
suffered some casualties.
The German infantrymen were sent
forward after the American positions
had been deluged with gas launched
by use of projectors.
The body of one German was
brought into the American trenches.
Washington, May 2S.-I,acking de-
tailed statements as to the progress
made In the German offensive on the
Aisne 'front.' officials here today did not
know whether it was proceeding over
a sufficient area and with sufficient
power to threaten the security of the
whole 35- or 4O-mile front.
Most officers here look upon the
Alsne operations as prelude to a
later direct assault in the Amiens re-
gion and an extension of the battle
front for the purpose of finding Il
weak spot through which a rush 20
Paris might be effected.
Some officers believe that the Aisnc
drive is intended only as a direct
threat along the short road to Paris
to draw French reserves into action
there and weaken the Allied line be-
fore Amiens. If the move should be
successful, it is believed there would
be a sudden transfer of the point of
attack to the Albert sector
The British and french counter
assault on the northern front is in
terpreted here to mean the Germans
have met a decisive defeat, and OBJ
servers are hopeful that the Allied
forces will succeed in bettering their
positions materially as a result of this
phase Of the battle.

Attack On American Hospitals.

With the American Army in France,
May 27, (By the Associated Press)-
What was apparently a deliberate at
tempt to wreck American hospitals i'll
the rear of the American lines in
Picardy occurred Sunday afternoon
when the Germans hurled high ex-
plosive and gas shells within q few
hundred yards of two hospitals. For
tunately no damage was done.
BY a coincidence the bombardme
was going on while American funer-
ais were being held. Several shells
fell a short distance from one funeral
party, but the ceremony was not dis
turbed.
German attempts to carry the war
fare to American sick and wounded
began about ten days ago when,
with the advent of new moon, enc
my airplanes circled over the little
villages where it has long been known
hospitals were located and dropped
bombs. Several civilians were in
iured in a recent air raid while not
far from the American hospitals.
They were asleep when the attack be-
gan, feeling secure in their proximity
to the hospitals.
Much indignation has been caused
among the soldiers and civilians over
the air raids and Sundays lombard
ment 1t was not the fault Of the
Germans that those in the hospitals
were not killed and wounded as were
those in the British hospitals In
Flanders recently.
The only comment of the sick and
wounded American soldiers is that
thew want to get out as soon as the
doctors will permit so as to strike
back at the Huns.
VIII Care For American Graves.
Aged French women in the vii
lages in the rear of the Am erican sector
in Picardy have asked and received
permission to take care of one or
more graves Of American soldiers.
This tribute is all the more impressive
because it comes from peasant women,
most of whom have been robbed of
their husbands and sons by the war
and have had "a hard time to sustain
them selves.
The affection with which the vii
layers regrd the Ann ericans is most
pathetic at times. The difficulty OF
languages is swept aside and the vii
lager share the American sorrows and
ioys. In the villages where Almeri-
can troops are bilIeted and which are
in constant danger from enemy shells,
the nericans share their gas masks
with the peasants and teach th EN- how
to use them.
