Caught in Yankee Barrage.

The attackers, who were especially
trained for this operation, were Sc
lected from among the best men in
three regiments. They were preced-
ed by shock platoons but the Ameri-
can barrage caught them before they
were able to reach our wire entan-
clements.
A terrific fire against the advancing
enemy was kept up by the American
batteries. The Germans probably
suffered severe casualties as several
bodies were seen hanging across the
barbed wire after the enemy retired.
The attack was made in a heavy
morning mist but the American gun
ners did wonderful work considering g
the poor visibility.
AS soon as the American barra go
lifted, American infantrynen Climb bed
from their shelters and attacked the
enemy with heavy machine gun and
rife fire, driving back those who had
not been dispersed by the artillery
fire.
The attack was followed by ., Vio-
lent artillery duel which was still 60
ing on at q late hour tonight.
