With the Americans in Lorraine,
June 1O.-American observers re-
port a continuation of German con-
centration of troops opposite the
Toul sector and farther east opposite
Nancy. Boche aviators and anti-air-
craft guns are increasingly active in
attacking American captive balloons.
Military men do not believe the
Germans are contemplating an ct
tack upon the Americans, but instead
fear the Sammies' push. Newspapers
state the Americans are holding rs
miles of the front in Lorraine.
German prisoners say it is neces-
sary to take two of the present Ger
man divisions to make one of full
strength. The enemy lines are
sparsely held.
