Have Been There Three Months


The fact that American troops were
in the trenches in Lorraine was re-
Nealed by the German war office three
months ago. At that time, according to
an official German announcement, the
Americans were on the front at the
Rhine Marine canal, which intersects
the battle line near the German border,
due east of Nancy.
This announcement was made in the
official report from Berlin of the first
German raid on the American positions.
in which three Americans were killed.
five wounded and u captured.
The eastern end Of the battle line in
France and Belgium runs through French
and German Lorraine. French Lorraine.
in which is the American sector. is in
Guided in the departments OF the Meuse,
the capital OF which is Nerdun; Meurthe-
et-Moselle, whose capital is Nancy, and
Nosges. with the capital al Epinal. The
length OF the front IN French Lorraine
is about $50 miles.
This section OF the battle line extends
into Meuse from Marine near st. Meme
hould, and runs eastward to the north
of Nerdun, south to st. Mihiel and east
to the German border. There il turns to
the southeast. and almost parallels the
border to the vicinity Of Leint:y. Be
low Leintry it cuts across q section OF
French soil past Baaonviller and senones
and to the east Of st. Die, and again
crosses the German border at a poiut
west of Colmar. The remainder of the
line to the SWISS boundary is in Ger
many.
Since the battle of Nerdun there has
been no fighting Of great Importance
along this front. For the most part ],
runs through high ana broken country.
since the present battle line was estao-
lished. early in the war. there has been
comparatively little activity on the front
to the east Of tho Nerdun sector, the
nature Of the country making large oper-
atoms impracticable.
