ARE IN THE THICK
OF The FIGHTING
Americans Defending Paris and
Amiens from TeutOns.

With the American Forces in North
ern France, Sunday April 28-American
troops have taken up positions on the
French battlefront. Under the French
high command, IN which all ranks have
supreme confidence. the American
forces face the enemy on the line bar
ring the Germans from Paris and
Amiens, where they have BE- en- a GER
tain number of days.
The Americans, on entering the lines,
found their positions in a rolling ter
raine. The artillery was the first on
the line, entering on a dark night which
was made red by the continuous flashes
of friendly and hostile guns, under a
fire which in some cases was rather
heavy the American gunners took up
the position of the French batteries
and completed the work of digging in.
When the infantry moved in the fir
ing was just as intense. In some places
our troops after passing through villages
were raked now and then with sharpnel.
In several instances they found the
trenches shallow while IN other cases
there were no trences at all. By this
time the positions have been improved
greatly and the shell-holes connected.
The American lines generally are
about 200 to 400 yards apart and the
high ground is about evenly divided.
What the future holds for the Ameri-
can forces is, of course. unknown, but
the Americans are confident that under
the efficient French direction, although
the tasks ahead may be difficult, they
will give good account of themselves
and strike the Bouches a blow if op-
portunity offers.
1t should be understood that this
sector is not especially active in COM
parison with others to the north, al
though it is more active than those the
Americans previously had faced. The
artillery firing is heavy and intermit-
tent, the German shells whizzing over
the lines into towns in certain rear
areas.
There has not been raid on either
side of..the line for several days, but at
night the patrols are active, Americans
approaching close to the enemy's lines.
All during the nights rapid machine gun
and rifle fire indicates where the Ameri-
can bullets are keeping out enemy
