American Headquarters on the
British Front in France. Thursday
May 25.-Several soldiers OF tn,
new" American army on this front
are reported to have been wounded
yesterday by bombs dropped by Ger
man raiders. This was their first
experience with the enemy and all
the Americans have heard or seen

tivities.
An innovation in training recently
adopted back of the lines is to have
the men while playing baseball in
their recreation periods wear their
gas masks, in order to get them ac-
customed to breathing properly in
these primitive devices under all
conditions.
