Americans found themselves gazing
out over the wide valleys to the blue
mountain ridges opposite, where thin
dark line revealed the enemy trenches
nearly mile away
At some point in this sector the
trench lines run in a zigzag course
down the mountainside into valley
where the barbed wire entanglements
are so close together that the Amer
leans could shout to the Germans II
they felt so inclined.
Among the large part of the front
the American infantry perched upon
one ridge gazes across at the German
infantry on a ridge opposite. The ar

Warfare in Foothills.
The nature of the warfare in these
foothills Of the Alps is best shown by
the fact that the Germans on Friday
morning attempted a raid which was
easily repulsed and in which only one
of our men is missing. High peaks af-
ford an excellent view far behind the
enemy lines, some days the line itself
being visible by the aid Of big tele-
scope swinging in a wide slot cut in
the mountain side.
Thousands of mountaineers gave the
Americans a royal welcome as they
moved in toward the line the third
week in May. They were the first
Americans to appear in this mountain
Gus country, and consequently the viii
layers came pouring out to the line
along dusty roads winding in and out
Of the mountains. The villagers cheered
the Americans and showered wild flow
ers on them as they passed.
