Reviewing operations for the week
ending Feb. 3, Secretary Baker says:
American troops, which have now
completed their training, are occupy
ing a portion of the actual battle
front. The operations in which our
troops have so far been engaged were
of minor character.
"On Jan. 30 the Germans attempted
. strongly pushed raid against our line
for purposes OF identification. Under
cover of a heavy mist the enemy was
able to reach our advanced positions"
A short brush ensued and the raiders
were compelled to withdraw in haste,
after inf1icting slight casualties.
1.-TWO days later the enemy appar-
emily attempted another reconnolter-
ing thrust, but was dispersed before
any Roadway could be made.
"Our patrols have been active in
No Mans Land, and our scouts have
made themselves familiar with the
details of the hostile position opposite
them.
Another event of Importance took
place in France. The inter-Allled su-
preme war council met in Versailles
attended by Gen. Bliss, chief OF stan
of the army, and Gen. Pershing' as
well as the representatives of France
Great Britain and Italy. Complete
and close cooperation between the
Allies and ourselves, and harmon1-
Gus understanding between the su-
preme commands Of all the forces en-
gagged promises to show positive re-
suits. Unity of purpose on all fronts
will thus be attained"

at least three enemy dugouts were de-
molished, probably with some casual

In a regimental headquarter village
shelled by the enemy many buildings
were wrecked. There were no casual
ties among the officers. The whist
ling of two big shells gave warning of
the coming bombardment and officers
and men sought shelter in the dug
outs. The bombardment of the head
quarters village came at the end of a
