AMERICANS ON LORRAINE LINE
 WORK FREELY Receiving Orders Suddenly, Troops Move Quickly
 to Trenches.
(By Associated Press.)

With the American Army in France Wednesday, Feb. 6.-The American troops which have taken up their po- sitions on the Lorraine front were billeted in towns back of the lines, when thep suddenly received orders to move to the front. They were transported in motor trucks over roads an inch deep in dust. Streams of cannon, trucks and motorcycles along the road raised clouds of dust, which stuck to the men and made their clothes, faces and equipment gray bv the time they had reached the towns close to the firing line from which they marched to their posit- ons durng the night.
 They found themselves in a section of Lorraine where the ground rose on slight grade. In some cases the en- amy lines were half mile away. AL tho this was the first time the Amer deans had been in the trenches the units from various parts of the Unit ed States quickly adapted themselves to their new surroundings.
 The American patrols have been op- erating nightly in conjunction with the French and have worked between the Ines with the greatest freedom. The artillery has been only intermit- tently active but usually a few shells are exchanged every hour.

 What officials know of plans for pressing home the attack with in- creasing vigov explains the feeling of optimism that prevails in official cir cles. Despite continued heavy drains on ship tonnage thru the u-boats, American naval officials appear to he satisfied that the means with which they expect to crush finally the 1 submadine menace are forthcoming. 1t has taken time to devise and build i the weapons. but they are beginning to become available now.

 Even with limited aid the allied navies have held the enemy, and are now destroying one out of every four or five German u-boats that p'(t to sea.

 It is felt strongly that the open

So long as the ground is soft with the winter rain t is impossible to move forward great guns and necessary transport trains to support an advancing line. previous years April has seen offensive operations set in motion by me allies. For that reascn many offlcers here seem to anticipate only rald'ng and minor assaults before the mldale Of next month. To others it, appears probable that no offensive Will be undertaken on any consider able scale icy May 1.

! " Continued trench raiding operations along the French front are reported in the official statement. In one of these an American colonel captured Ia German lieutenant. The Ameri- 1 can troops in the Chemin des Danes and Lorraine sectors are not yet in full charge of the positions assigned to them, but are training with French soldiers. The position north of Toul IS the only one placed in control of the Americans.
 The Germans report the capture of many allied soldiers in raids, and say that the artillery fighting is growing An intensity at various points. They also lay claim to successes in aerial fighting, bringing down 19 airplanes and two captive balloons.
 Andrew Bonar, chancellor of the British exchequer, addressing the house of commons spoke of the finan- cal situation as well as the military position on the French and Macedo- nian fronts. MT. Law maintained that the entente allies still retain their superiority in man power in France, in spite of the movement of German trops from Russia, but said that this advantage might not be per manent. He also referred to the dan ger of German attacks in Macedo- mia, but added that a terrible price would be exacted for every yard gain ed by the Teutons.
 There is no further news of Jap anese intervention in Siberia. If such a movement has been started how ever. 1t is probable that little or noth ing would be announced by Japan. where the curtain of the censorship was drawn much closer early in the week.
