pleted a two days inspection Of the
American sector northwest of Toul. In
a Tin hat" with a gas mask swung
over his chest at the alert position, the
American commander in chief walked
through all the first line trenches,
splashing through the mud and slip
ping on the ice. He dropped down in
to the dugouts and visited batteries

envy.
In all places the general asked in
Vulnerable questions, especially of the
men, with regard to food, how they
were and how they liked conditions.
All except one cook agreed that they
were perfectly satisfied with every
thing. The cook told General Pershing
that he wanted some greenstuff.

Throughout the inspection tour Gen
eral Pershing limped little, his ankle
having been injured slightly few days
ago. At the batteries the general ask
ed the artillerymen the same questions
as he put to the infantrymen, making
sure that they all were contented and
had no cause for complaint.

operations on the western front ap-
proaches, the American expeditiOnary
force is widening it's sphere of activ-
ity along the front lines. Not only do
American soldiers hold a sector of the
front east of st. Mihiel, but American
artillery is helping the French in

played a spectacular role in the big
French attack in the Champagne re-
gion on Wednesday. The artillery
preparation for the French attack,
which penetrated to the third German
line, lasted more than six hours. The
Yankee gunners were working like
beavers all this lime. The French in
fantry leaped to the assault on a 1900
meter front at 4:15 o'clock preceded
by rolling barrage. Just an hour
later an airplane observer signaled to
the American artillery that all objec-
tives had been attained to the depth
of a mile. The Yankee gunners imme-
diately switched to an encircling bar
rage which protected the Poilus in
their new positions.
The French sent back $50 German
prisoners who had been unable to es-
cape through the American barrage.
