made for them at the camps and can

marine IS held, but not mastered.
Submarines are being destroyed in
increasing numbers and as our
methods develop the numbers will
further increase. There is a grow

Germans crews to put to sea. The
chances OF submarine returning
from a voyage in the waters around
England are one in four or one in
five. For some months. we believe.

WAR SUMMARY.

Further details of the engage
ment on Monday night in which
American troops occupying a new
position in French Lorraine beat off
a German raiding party, show that
a sharp fight took place in which
the Americans, belonging to unit
among the most recent arrivals in
France, gave the Germans an uneN-
pectedly warm reception, repulSing
them with losses.
The americans here. it is re-
vealed, are in training with French
troops, as are those on the Aisne
front, north OF the Chemin des
Danes. As yet, only the third
American group, that east OF St.
Mihiel, is holding a sector OF its
own.
The capture OF a Prussian lieuten-
ant by am American colonel took
place shortly before the Americans
entered new positions in Lorraine,
the American officer getting his man
in a German trench where he had
gone with a French raiding party in
search OF information.
