Washington, March 15.-President
Wilson made the following signed ap-
peal:
The department of labor has set
aside the week beginning March IS
as national enrolment week for the
United States boys working reserve.
Tne purpose of this national enroll
ment week is to call the attention of
the young men of the nation to the
Importance of increasing the food sup
Ply by working on the farms. and to
urge them to enroll in the reserve.
81 sincerely hope that the young
men of the country. fifteen years of
age and over, not now permanently
employed and especially the boys in
our high schools, will enter heartily
into this work and join the boys
working reserve in order that they
may have the privilege, for such l be-
lieve it to be, Of spending their spare
time in a productive enterprise which
will certainly aid the nation to win
the war by increasing the means of
providing for the forces at the front
and for the maintenance of those serv-

With the American Army in France,
! March 15.-Four groups Of German
gas projectors, in addition to the
group Of 200 projectors already report
ed destroyed, have been discovered,
and likewise blown to pieces by the
American artillery
Probable German plans for gas at
tack on comparatively large scale
against the American positions north
! west of Toul have thus been upset.
The new groups Of projectors were
discovered from serial photographs
taken by American observers in
French airplanes. The effective action
taken against them was due to the
quick work of the observers, the in
telligence officers and the artillerists
In turn.
The American artillery on this front
has been more active than ever in the
last fifteen hours, and It's shells also
found lodgment in munitiOn dumps,
which were blown up. Many extensive
explosions are reported.
The correspondent, standing on a
HILL saw one dump situated in a wood,
go up in brilliant flash and great
puff Of whitish smoke, tremendous
report following a few seconds later.
Explosions and fires also were caused
by our shells in villages and in the
woods behind the enemy front.
During a retaliatory shelfing for an
enemy bombardment in which gas
shells fell on our battery positions,
the American guns silenced certain
German batteries by pouring in fast
and extremely accurate fire. Our ar
tillerymen stayed in their dugouts
until the gas shells began to fall, when
they put on their masks and manned
the guns. Some mustard gas shells
were mixed with the others that fell,
and later a few of our men walked
masks.
The American artillery also tore
great gaps in the enemy wire and
leveled various portions of the first
and second line trenches, forcing the
enemy virtually to abandon them.
Details of the recent raid which
have just been developed, show that
while numbers of Germans were
killed by shellfre when the box bar
rage was in effect ant others later
by the creeping barrage, there were
also a few of the enemy shot here
and there during the time our men
were in the trenches. There were

dropping into the German lines. The

scream of the shells through the air,

%pectace that put Pains greatest dis
play into the shade. The constant

\ an occasional rattle of rifle firing gave
me the impression of huge audience
/ applauding the work of the batteries.
! Our 1S-pounders were destroying the
/ German barbed wire, while the heavier
stuff was demolishing their trenches
and bashing in dugouts or funk holes.
Then Fritz got busy.
Their shells went screaming over
head, aimed in the direction of the
flares from our batteries. Trench NOR
tars started dropping "Minnies" in
our front line. We clicked several cas-
| ualties. Then they suddenly ceased.
Our artillery had taped or silenced
them.
During the bombardment you could
almost read a newspaper in our trench.
Sometimes in the flare of shell-burSt
mans body would be silhOuetted
against the parados of the trench and
it appeared like huge monster. You
could hardly hear yourself think. When
an order was to be passed down the
trench you had to yell it, using your
hands as funnel into the ear of the
man sitting next to you on the fire step.
In about twenty minutes a generous
rum issue was doled out. After drink

On my second trip TO the trenches
