YANKEES MAKE
TWO RAIDS NEAR
ST. M|HIEL Line
Capture Some Prisoners in
SaIIies Preceded by Bar
RACES Which Were
Deadly. "a
BY Associated Press.

With the American Forces in Lor-
raine, Sept. 22.-American troops
made two successful raids on the
German lines northeast of St. Mihiel
early this morning, taking % pris-
oners in the region of Haumont and
FIVE prisoners southeast of Charey.
Both raids were preceded by bar
RACES.
Patrols from the region OF Hau-
mont reported that at least 30 Ger
mans we're killed or injured. Other
patrols from the Charey region es-
timated that the barrage killed at
least score of Germans.
The prisoners taken southeast of
Charey were machine gunners, the
Americans capturing two heavy ma
chine guns. At Haumont the Ger
mans were captured in dugouts,
where they had taken refuge from
the stiff American barrage. The
Germans answered with their artil-
lery along the American line.
The first American barrage be-
gan soon after midnight. The other
started at 2 o'clock. Both con-
tinued for two hours.
Sharp Fight in Haumont.
A unit of the American raiders
entered Haumont, where the Ger
mans had been using church tower
as an observation post. Sharp fight
ing took place in the village, the
Americans getting the better of the
Germans and obtaining the infornia-
ton desired. Then they returned
to their own lines.
A patrol found several dugouts
east of Haumont and indications that
the Germans were continuing to dig
in. Another patrol reported enemy
trenches and numerous machine
gun emplacements south of Dom
martin.
When the American barrages had
started, the Germans apparently be-
lieved that another offensive had
opened, and filled the sky with rock
cts and signal shells. The heavy
shelling apparently caused confu-
sion in the enemy front, because
after the first barrage, it was more
than 20 minutes before the Ger
mans replied.
Airplanes Active.
German airplanes were active Sat-
urday night in the region between
the Moselle river and St. Benoit,
northeast of St. Mihiel. The for
ward areas were bombed practically
all night.
German artillery kept up a
harassing fire on Priest woods.
Rappes woods and the village of
Fey-En-Haye. The road to Thiau-
court is being shelled intermittently.
The Germans are reported to be
working on dugouts to the west of
Pagny and to the east of Haumont.
Similar activity has been observed
north of Dampvitou and south of
Dommartin.

With the violence of the opera
tons on the western front in France
considerably diminished in inten-
sity, the Turks in Palestine and
the Bulgarians and their allies in
Macedonia are being put to the test.
But nowhere thus far have they
been able to hold back, or even to
counteract, the onslaughts Of their
foes.
In Palestine the Turks seemingly
are in the process of being crush
ed; in Macedonia the entente forces
are driving sharp wedges for con-
siderable distances into the enemy
fronts.
In France and Flanders, where
there has not been any fighting

Giving further information con-
cerning the dramatic advance of the
British army in Palestine, begun
during the night of September lo,
Special correspondent at General
Allenby's headquarters writes:
THE victory is much more i'm.
portant than the number of prison-
ers at present reported indicates, for
the Turk has had smashing blow
and is retiring into the hills as fast
as his weary legs will permit. The
British are pressing him with splen-
did energy.
Preparations for the battle er-
tailed a good deal of marching. The
troops were always moved by night
and remained hidden in the day
time. The British mastery Of the
air prevented enemy observers from
seeing any change in the dispositions
and movements. The Turk, too,
possessed positions that commanded
wide range, but he remained mys-
tilted. The infantry opened ! way
for the cavalry to pass through, and
there was a wonderful spectacle of
long columns of British yeomanry
and Australian Lighthouse and In
dian cavalry moving over wide ex-
panse of country throughout the
coastal sector of the plain of Sharon
to get to the enemy rear"
