 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, April 29.-Great headquar- ters reports greatly increased artil- lerying opposite the American fronts both ways from Foul. Yesterday the Germans laid down a heavy barrage against part of our lines, but were prevented from following it up with the intended raid by the heavy re- turn fire of the American guns.
 American officials believe that the enemy is seeking to keep the Am ericans too busy here for them to be able to send any endorsements to the allies in northern France and Belgium. The number of shells fall ing on the American lines is daily increasing and is far above normal.
 The Americans are retaliating with great energy and throwing thousands of shells on the enemy positions daily No infantry activity has been record ed since the recent German attack against the lines near Seicheprey.

ANOTHER FIGHT
 WON BY WILSON
 IN THE SENATE

WASHINGTON. D. C.. April % The senate this afternoon passed the Overman bill giving the President power to reorganize governm mt de- partments and bureaus during the war for the purpose of adding to government efficienecy in dealing with war preparations. The bill now goes to the house. where it will prob ably pass without serious opposition and in very short time.
 The passage of this measure is an other victory for the President. It is the administrations answer to the critics of the war department and was introduced by Senator Overman at the request of the President, who is said to have prepared it. It was received in the senate with open hostility by number of senators from both parties, and members of the senate military committee used every effort to sidetrack it and sub stitute measure of the committee providing for munitions bureau and war cabinet separate and dis tinct from the war department.
 The opposition was able to retard action on the measure for several weeks, but the administration forces succeeded in having a favorable re- port brought in and passed the meas ure practically untouched by amend ment.
