YANKEES ARE SHELLED
Germans Fail to Do Much Dam
age in Bombardment.
Enemy Proves Poor Marksman And
information He Had Was
Apparently Bad.

With the American Army in France,
April 3.-For more than four hours
a deluge of gas shrapnel and high
explosive shells fell on certain por-
tions of the American sector north
west of Toul. A number OF towns,
trenches and roads were targets for
the enemy, who began firing before
midnight. First one place was
"strafed" and then another. At one
occasion alone 1000 shells, 1900 of
which were gas projectiles, fell.
Toward the end Of the shelling the
Germans let down q barrage In front
of one of the American front line
positions for good measure. 1t is sur
prising what little damage was done,
for the enemy was not only poor
marksman, but the information upon
which he was apparently acting, was
bad.
Americans Retallats
The American artillery retaliated
and dropped many shells near truck
carrying supplies to an advanced
post before the driver abandoned 1t.
Two American patrols entered the
German lines. Both found the belts
of wire heavily electrified one report
ing that the strands Of wire were
connected with interrupters, which
gave of sparks as warning TO the
enemy sentriss.
Great activity continues in the rear
of the enemy lines. One especially
active point is in the town OF Pan
mes at which the American gunners
do not shoot because French civilians
are still there. AS many as thous-
and Germans have been seen there
at one time during the last few hours
Vehicles on roads back of the Ameri-
can lines were shelled by the Ger
mans this morning.

Pershing Organizes Expedition
ary Forces and They Work
In Concert With French.
ARE SENT INTO ACTION
Divisions Making Up First Corps MOT
Given Out But Believed To In
clude Rainbow Division
General Bliss Aids.

Washington, April 2.-The first
army corps OF the expeditionary for
ces has been organized by General
Pershing according to advices receiv-
ed by the war department. The first
corps is now acting in concert with
the French against the left fank Of
the German offensive.
An American army force consists
OF from two to six divisions.
For military reasons it is improper
to give the exact strength of the first
corps. As a division consists of ap-
proximately $4,000 men, it is no
secret that General Pershing has as
signed more than two divisions to the
corps. The corps is under the com
mand of widely known general who
formerly commanded one of the divi-
sions Of which the corps is made up.
1t is understood that the American
forces are being sent into action in
two columns. Although under the
direction OF General Foch, orders to
the columns will be sent through
General Pershing who Is in close
touch with the new general head
quarters established by the French
generalissimo.

Bliss is Aiding.

General Bliss is aiding in the for.
nation. OF the Allies defensive and
offensive programs.
The divisions making up the first
army corps are known here, but the
War department has as yet not iden-
titled them. There Is reason to be-
lieve that one of the units of corps is
the famous Rainbow division made up
of National guardsmen from almost
every state in the Union. This divi-
sion was among the first to arrive In
France and has finished its training
course back OF the lines. The Min
nesota Gunners 151st artillery is
part OF the Rainbow division.

RAT is FRIEND OF MINERS
Workers Warned Of Coming Catas-
trophe When the Rodents Leave
Tunncl-Are Fed by Men.

Investigators OF mining conditions
and the peculiar dangers to which
miners are subjected recently have
taken much interest In the practice
of Western gold miners to make pets
Of the rats which commonly infest
mines. On the mother lode OF Cali
fornin It has been found that the
miners invariably feed the rats and
take care OF them, believing that the
rodents nre source of protection
against accident says Our Dumb AMI
mails. This is due. the men say. to the
instinct Of the rats. which warns them
when tunnel is unsafe. And when
the rats leave n tunnel II is almost i'm.
possible to get the miners to work
there. This recalls the belief among
sailors that rats will leave n doomed
ship. The miners also have found that
rats are much more susceptible thar
humans to the dangerous gases thai
so often cause loss OF life In the mines
Long before the miners themselves arr
affected by these gases the rats be
come sick and show symptoms of dis
tress. So the men keep close watcl
