Huns Scatter Mines
Ia Path of Retreat
(By The Associated Press

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept l0.-Prisoners recently
captured by the French have thrown
light upon the work of destruction un-
dertaken by the retreating Germans
with the aid OF extremely slow fuses
that produce an explosion of mines
days and even weeks after the Teutons
have evacuated a locality
The same system that destroyed
Chateau Bethancourt, to the west of
Guiscard, on September and the ca
thedral at Nesle shortly afterward was
used freely at Ham, and Noyon is being
utilized by the Germans in preparation
for the destruction of villages north
and northeast of Rheims.
Prisoners who worked with a de
tachment of pioneers placing mines
under church pillars in that region say
the Germans are making ready to razc
all the towns to the ground.
Traps are being laid by use of the
same system in the forest Of st. Go
balm and in the region of Laon. while
all the crossroads in those regions, &C.
cording to the captives, are being heav-
lily mined. Some of these preparations
for wholesale destruction are behind
the Hindenburg line

Foes Loss Seuere in
utile Attacks ON u. s.
At Mt. Rouge Plateau

AMERICAN FORCES ON THE AISNE
FRONT, Sept. 10 (delayed) The Ger
mans this evening were still attacking
on the Mont Rouge plateau with des-
perate determination. The losses of
the enemy in the last three days must
have been appalling.
The German attacks-whether di-
rected against Manteuil, Latfaux or
NauXaillon-have been for the recovery
of the ridge line at Mont de Laffaux,
which was captured by General Man
gins troops, with whom the Americans
are fighting, before the Germans real
lied Of what immense Importance ii
was to them, or at least before they
were able to take adequate steps to
defend it.
How the German troops have been
hurried here to attempt its recovery
is evidenced by the fact that as many
as five German regiments were repre-
sented among eighty prisoners taken
, yesterday.
This morning two fresh attacks were
) launched on either side of Nanteuil
Both were beaten back with severe
losses.
Prisoners taken in this region, al
though they fought remarkably we'll
all showed complete dependency and

Section B-The following details of
strong hostile raid in the Woevre,
reported in American official COM
munique Number 116, have been re-
ported. At 4:30 O'Clock, morning Of
September 7, approximately 200
enemy infantry, accompanied BY
twenty pioneers, raided our lines
between Fliery and Limey A box
barrage was laid down 200 metres
south of the Metz road. The raiding
party entered the sector and then
rushed the outpost group, which re-
tired, firing toward the enemy. Di-
vlding into three detachments. the
enemy tried to encirce this group.
but deployed platoon succeeded in
routing them successfully, causing
them to retire.
Seven of the enemy were captured,
two of whom were wounded Three
OF the enemy we're killed in their
trenches and it is believed there are
several others dead in No Mans
Land. The combat group states that
they saw many enemy wounded be-
ing carried off by their own men.
Only one of our men was captured
and he succeeded in escaping before
the enemy could get him back to
their lines.
Interrogation of the prisoners capt
ured established that the raid was
made in order to get prisoners for
Identification of the opposing troops.
AS no prisoners had been taken for
considerable time it was decided
that large raiding party should be
sent out, made up of units from each
regiment of the German division in
that sector Volunteers were asked
for, but as none was obtained men
were conscripted for the raid.

German Raid Fails to

(By The Associated Press)

WITH THE AMERICAN TROOPS IN
FRANCE, Sept. 10 (5 p. M. .).-At $50
o'clock this morning the Germans be.
gan q heavy artillery action on the
American front lines in the Vosres :
region, sending over some POO proiec
tiles from their mine throwers and a
thousand heavy calibre shells At 500
O'Clock the enemy opened up a strong
fire on the communication trenches.
Reports from two observation sta
tions were that sixty Germans were
observed entering their own lines
wounded, but no reports from the
American front lines had been received
at this hour. 1t seems probable that
the raid. which developed after the ar
tillery fire, was beaten off. with casu-
altles to the enemy.

tached to this system, notably along
the Escaut River from Cambria, north
between the valleys of the Disc and
the Serre, and northeastward from La
Fere along the Suippe River north Of
Rheims.
Scarpe River, south of Lille, to the
Mouse, near Sedan. then southeastward
to the iron region of the basin of
Brley, which it protects from the west
line at the Moselle. There are sec
ondary defence worms to this line also
in the region of Vervins.
A fourth line, as yet uncompleted,
is intended to furnish further de-
fence between the Escaut, near the
Belgian frontier, and the Meuse at
Givet.
Strong Refuge for Retiring Armies
Each one of these lines furnishes q
strong refuge for armies obliged to re-
tire upon it. The lines also offer to
forces dwindling in numbers the ad-
vantage of progressively shortening
the battlefront.
The first Of the lines has already
been broken between Queant and Dro-
court The development Of this sue
cess may determine the question
whether the Germans can oblige the
Allies to revert to trench warfare The
enemy second line of defence almost
touches the Hindenburg line at Cam
brai, just below the breach the Brit
ish forces have made in it. If they
are able to join the two lines there
the Germans will still have an unn-
terrupted defensive position, in which
the second line enters for only the
distance from Lille to Cambria, being
continued to the Chemin des Danes by
the Hindenburg line

of Attilly and Vermani.
In the evening the enemy again
strongly attacked our positions on
the ridge west of Gouzeaucourt.
Sharp fighting followed, as result
of which the attack was completely
beaten off except at one point, where
one Of the British posts remained in
the enemy's possession.
Local fighting took place yesterday

Pershing Urges Men
To Mix Caution With
Gallantry in Rescues
(By The Associated PrcsS)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. l1.-Such large pro
portion of the American casualties in
recent actions has been due to gallant
attempts to rescue wounded officers
and men by unwounded comrades that
General Pershing has been compelled
to issue general order calling atten-
tion to the fact that the regulations
prohibit members of the fighting force
to leave their proper position, even for
this purpose.
Stating that voluntary acts, however
gallant and mertorious, in going for
ward to rescue fallen comrades too
often has led to the needless sacrifice
Of the bravest men. the order explains
that the loss Of an officer, non-com-
stoned officer or man by such conduct
might deprive a detachment of leader
upon whom command might depend
thus robbing the wounded of ultimate
succor.
The order concludes with the direc-
tion that every proper effort is TO be
made to rescue wounded and place
them in safety.

In front of obstacles that do not ap-

their detail but enough is known Of
them to reconstitute them in a general
way.
First is the Hindenburg line system
Of field Notifications, which the Ger
mans built by the forced labor of prs-
oners Of war and French and Belgian
civilians. 1t runs from Lens south
eastward to the Aisne north Of Rheims
by way of Queant, st. Quentin, La Fere
and the st. Gobain forest. 1t consists
of an elaborate system of trenches,
multiple lines of barbed-wire entangle-
ments, concrete positions for artillery,
blockhouses for machine guns, shelters
for the infantry, and is further pro-
tected by flooded stretches of country
where the means were available for
that purpose.
Second Zine of Defence
The second line of defence runs from
the fortress of Lille to the stronghold
of Metz. generally parallel with the
Hindenburg line, to the region north of
Rheims and at distances varying from
seven to twenty miles. From scissors

Branch Hickey and Barney Dreyfuss,
President Tener has warned the North

talk of buying this or that player.
Breaking Tener's order is likely to
