to return to his home in Christiana,

the vessel which is to carry him and
his party to the far north is being
built.
The vessel is an auxiliary steam
ship, 100 feet in length, has 40-foot
beam and draft of IL feet. She is
shaped like an egg, Capt Amundsen
said, so that she mbay be lifted by
the ice pressure and carried along
with the northerly drifting currents
toward the pole.
Capt. Amundsen's ship will carry
no wireless, he said, because he does
not want to hear any bad news from
home. While in the United States
he will try to obtain the services OF
capable air pilot, who will be ia
ken along to guide the airplane which
will be part of tie expeditions equip
ment in the proposed flight across

of the opposition of an important

large majority in favor of accepting
the provisions of the German peace

That there was spirited opposition
to the ratification of the treaty is
evidenced by reports that trouble

CROSS NO MANS LAND AFTER
HEAVY FIRE BY AR
TILLERY.
GERMANS SEEK PRISONERS
American Forces Drive Out SHIPPER.
From Posts and Nests-Sought
to Gain Information-Good
Work by Artillery.

With the American Army in France.
After terrific artillery preparation
this morning large numbers of the en-
envy crossed no mans land on the ex-
IRENE right of the American sector
northwest of Toul. Apparently the
purpose of the raid was quickly ac-
complished and only a comparatively
small number entered our lines. Per-
mission has not been given to men
ton the number of casualties.
This raid, like most of the others
carried out all the way from the sea
to Switzerland, was designed to gath
err information by means of taking
prisoners.
East of Luneville our patrols have
explored part of the German trench
which our artillery forced the enemy
to abandon. Patrols proceeded later
ally until they established contact
with the Germans. Our reconnais-
sance and wire patrols found snipers'
posts, listening posts and nests from
which machie guns had been firing on
our lines.
Artillery Routs Posts.
The artillery attended to all these
posts. The German positions have
been so uncomfortable at several
places that they now are trying to re-
gain a foothold by connecting shell
holes Orr trOOnS haev been subject
to an extraordinarily heavy artillery
fire for the last "a hours. More than
240 shells, which made craters 20 feet
deep and 80 feet in diameter, fell in
one section of the line. In another
section batteries have been shelled
heavily. More gas shells have fallen
in both the Toul and Luneville sec
tors, but the larger number in the
former.
