Gallant Fighting Spirit.


WASHINGTON, April 22.-GermaZ:
smashes at the American troops in
the Toul sector have been met with
all the stubborn, gallant fighting
spirit that has always characterized
United States fighters. American
military men here said today that
accounts OF the week end struggle
proved that the Americans can be
counted on.
AS for the entire west front situa-
ton, the war department weekly sum-
mary published today expressed the
view that the present lull will be fol
lowed by fresh German offensive ef-
forts, perhaps at q new point
With the offensive now on its sec
ond month, the German finds him
self checked in obtaining major Of
fensiyes.
The fact that Berlin alone made
claim of 1873 American prisoners in
the fighting Saturday and that there
was no American communique on the
subject, served to emphasize here
the need OF an American daily Of
fetal statement.
In addition to the west front stu
alton, the experts are following de-
pelopments in the Finland fight close
~. Cooperation between allied forces
and Bolsheviki. following landing of
added forces on the Burman coast, is
to protect vital stores at Kola.
