GERMAN TRENCHES
Are WIPED OFF MAP
TROOPS HAVE ABANDONED TER
RJToRY AT LEAST AS FAR BACK
AS POINT BEYOND SECOND LINE

With the American Army in France,
MAY BY the Associated press. J.
During the last three days the Amer
lean artillery in the Luneville sector
has completely chased the Germans
from their front positions and have
wiped certain sections of the targets
in the enemy rear area Of the map
This is the same artillery that not long
ago gave "a similar performance in an
other Lorraine sector.
On the present occasion, 80 far as
all investigation shows, the Germans
have entirely abandoned the territory
at least as far back as point beyond
their second line. The only signs
that they are there at all are few
machine gun posts hidden in out-of-
the.way places in the back areas,
which cut loose when the opportunity
offers. Just now, the German front
and second lines are in about the same
condition as No Mans Land, in which
latter area the Americans are work
ing more freely than ever before.

and embroidery founcings. The short
little Eton packets have straight low

may be used, and the tunics can be
made OF the wider fiouncings. The
tight little underskirts and the waist
usually match the material of the

voiles and crepes as well as challis
and silks which are most attractively
developed in the simple styles OF this
