nowhere has the enemy been able to
dent the front held by Gen. Pershing's
men. On the contrary the Americans
have answered all the German often
sives with great bravery and. although
they have suffered some casualties.
have made the enemy feel the effects OF
their guns and rifle fire. One thing
that has been apparent in all the al
trays that have occurred in that strip
of territory between the trenches
known as No Mans Land, is that the
Germans do not like coming into hand
hand encounters with the Ameri-
cans and invariably give ground in the
face OF their vicious door die attacks.
AS in France and Belgium. the activity
along the entire fighting front in northern
Italy is heightening and there also the
Eatrol engagements and the artillery
dueIs seemingly siSnalize the approach
Of bitter fighting. Doubtless with the
spring thaw the enemy will endeavor to
force his way from the mountain regions
out upon the plains Of Venetia and also
to cross the Piave river and form juno
ton with his northern armies. Here,
reinforced by the British and French. sam
culinary encounters may be expected.
Push Forward in East
Although the breakdown in the Russian
army in Asiatic Turkey was expected to
release thousa nds of Turks who might be
sent against the British operating in
Mesopotamia and Palestine. the British
commanders in these two regions appar-
emily are unafraid. Both of them again
have driven their lines forward, Lieut.
Gen. Marshall having captured Hit on
the Euphrates river, 50 miles west OF
Bagdad, and Gen. Allenby in Palestine
having gone forward for an average depth
of between two and three miles on front
of 13 miles northwest of Jerusalem
