Taken Over One Sector
Of Front in France.
HOT FIGHTING REPORTED
Terrific Artillery Battle Staged
In Lorraine-TWo u. S. Sol.
diers Killed and Nine
Wounded.

American troops in france have
taken over one sector OF the fighting
front, relieving the French in Lorraine.
Announcements of this was made last
night from American headquarters in
France n official confirmation was
given today by Secretary Baker in his
weekly wal review.
Severe artillery fighting has taken
place on the American front in which
two American soldiers were killed, nine
wounded and n suffered from shell
shock. Heavy damage was done to the
German lines by the American fire.
With the American Army in France,
Sunday, Feb. 3.-American officers are
elated over the results of the first
artillery duel between American and
German gunners, which followed a pre-
liminary shelling by the Germans Sat
usday evening. In official reports the
infantry commanders today paid tribute
to tho promptnesS with which the artil-
lery responded to the call for a barrage
and TO the effectiveness OF the artillery
fire.
Aerial "Reminiscences today showed
that the American gun fire had had a
very decisive effect. 1t will require
several nights of hard work under artil-
lery fire for the Germans to repair the
first line trenches caved in by the
III iIdtl los anu ~ DdlCD the BuDS III
the barbed wire. 1t is known that at
east three enemy dugouts were de-
1lolished, probably with some casual
tfes. On the other hand, the damage
done to the American renches will be
repaired before tomorrow morning.
In "a regimental headquarters village
shelled by the enemy many buildings
were wrecked. There were no casual
ties among h officers.
The German artillery opened with
a desultory bombardment of the Amer
lean trenches at II certain point, firing
many schrapnel shells. In the midst Of
this, q red rocket calling for a barrage
assembled from the German first lines.
Before the German artillery could re-
spond the American 75s laid a cur
tain Of fire along the enemy first lines.
Then began the battle OF the gunnerS.
The increased intensity of the Ger
man fire was met Immediately by the
Americans who not only showered
shells on the original sector, but quick
ly extended their activity to a wide
front.
Within 20 minutes the 75s and
larger pieces were booming all along
the valley, the Smelling finally spread
ing to Il town in which ~regirnental head
quarters was located.
AS darkness settled down the guns
were quiet.
Heavy mists again overhung the
American sector today. consequently
there was little artillery work and no
aerial activity,
