AMERICANS ROUT
ENEMY PATROL
Large Force Attempted to Rush
u. S. Positions on the
Picardy Front.
YANKEES ESCAPE HUN TRAP
German Pretending to Be Wounded
Calls to Americans for Aid-Ruse
Discovered and Boches Suf-
fer Heavy Casualties.

With American Army in France,
May 1O.-A large German patrol at
tempted to rush the American posi-
tions on the Picardy front during the
night, but was driven off.
The enemy patrol parties were ac-
tive during the night and one Ger
man, pretending to be wounded. lay
outside the wire entanglements before
an American position beseeching help.
He was acting as screen for the
others, who were armed with hand
grenades.
Huns Put to Flight.
The Germans, failing to entice the
Americans from their trenches, at
tackled, but the Americans made it so
hot for them that they fled in con-
fusion. Their casualties are believed
to have been comparatively heavy.
The roar of heavy artillery con-
tinues day and night in this sector.
German Battery Blown Up.
With the Americans in Picardy,
May 1O-The American artillery con-
tinues pounding the German positions.
One German battery Is known to
have been blown up. Another in Bois
de LAlval, near Framicourt, which
had been heavily shellng our posi-
tions, was stopped by the American
retaliatory fire.
(Bois de L'Alval, or the wood Of
Alval, is less than a mile northwest
Of Framicourt and about the same
distance north Of Cantigny.)
Allies on the Alert
While there is speculation as to
where the next German attack is COM
ing, the Franco-American staffs re-
sponsible for barring the way to Paris
are on the alert. There are indica-
tons that the Boche is bringing up ad-
ditional artillery in this region.
The Frenchmen highly commend the
work of the Americans in strengthen
Ing the line here. Every day finds the
Americans in better shape to with
stand an attack. Their trenches are
stronger and more wire has been
stretched.
Aerial battles are frequent, as are
encounters between night patrols. The
Boches have established new machine
gun emplacements.
