ATTACK in SNOW
West Point Graduate Among
The Americans Killed in
Action.

With the American Army in
France, March 2.-American troops
repulsed strong German attack
Friday morning in the salient north
Of Toul. There were many Ameri-
can casualties, one of the killed be-
ing a captain who was graduated
from West Point in 1917.
The raid was complete failure,
three German prisoners remaining in
American hands. The ground in
front of the trenches was strewn
with German dead.
A driving, wet snow was falling
when the Germans opened fire on
the American salient with every
weapon at their command. Seventy
sevens, heavy shells and gas shells
fell in perfect whirlwind on the
American trenches for half an hour.
At the same time other enemy shells
in great number wre dropping on
the American battery positions.
The Germans, evidently thinking
that the Americans in this section.
having had one taste of gas few
days ago, would fear it now, let
loose great quantities of poisonous
gas, but only few were affected by
it. So intense was the fire that the
woods back of the salient were shot
to pieces.
At 6 o'clock the barrage fire lifted
on the trenches to the right of the
salient and Germans numbering 240
came sweeping forward under the
protection of their fire. They came
forward apparently intending to
make big haul and jumped into
what was left of the trenches, but
there, instead of the easy time an
ticipated, found the Americans all
ready for battle. Fierce hand-to
hand fighting began.
