HOLD ENEMY TRENCHES
LORRAINE SECTOR HELD BY THE
UNITED STATES TROOPS Is
SCENE OF ACTIVITY.
Rainbow Division Troops Now Safely
E%nsconced in Trenches Captured
From Huns-New Lines Consolidated
With French Sectors.

With the American Army in France.
American troops In the Luneyille
sector have occupied and are holding
enemy trenches northeast Of Babon-
villers, which they forced the Ger
mans to abandon through recent raids
and artillery fire.
The trenches have been consolidated
with ours.
This, though a small forward move
ment, marks the first permanent ad-
vance by the American army in
France. The consolidation OF the
trenches enables the Americans and
the French to operate from higher
ground than heretofore.
The sector occupied by American
troops east of Luneville, designated
formerly merely as being in Lorraine,
has developed suddenly into one Of the
most active on the front, from the
standpoint Of artillery fighting, Amer
lean artillerymen are hurting thou
odlluS VI outllo ually uSuiioI in wv
man positions, making it virtually i'm
possible for the enemy to occupy them.
Investigation shows that they have
been virtually abandoned. This Is es-
oecially true IN the neighborhood OF
certain places northwest and northeast
Of Badonviller, where, it is now per
missible to say, the two raids men
toned as having been carried out sim
ultaneously took place.
Certain information obtained in the
American sector northwest OF Toul
leads to the conclusion that the
American raid there came at such time
as to cause the Germans to abandon
plans Of their own for a raid.
Normal artillery fighting continues
in this sector, shells falling on towns
on both sides Of the line. At one place
the Germans used mustard shells. A
small number Of Americans walked
through the gas later,
An American patrol brought In an
enemy sniper's camouflage suit, made
Of woven brownish colored grass, the
same shade as tho landscape.
There was greater artillery activity
by the Americans on the Toul secto:
than at any time since they took pos
session there. American shells have
obliterated at least five groups Of gas
projectors which had been set up by
the enemy in preparation for an attack
Fires back OF the German lines also
were caused and a number Of explo
sions were heard.

Gen. Sage Talks to Legislators

A Joint session Of the house and
senate committees On public health
and quarantine was held to consider
the radical plan proposed by Maj.-Gen.
w. H. Sage, commandant at Camp
Shelby, Hattiesburg, for the control
of venereal diseases.
Briefly stated, Gen Sage suggested
to the lawmakers statutes that will
make it compulsory on persons afflict'
ed with venereal disease to remain in
a modified voluntary quarantine, and,
in cases where the person afflicted Is
a professional prostitute, rigid quar-
antine must be maintained until the
woman is cured. He also urged a stat
ute requiring physicians, when persons
apply to them to be treated for vene;
real disease, to ask the question,
Where did you get it?" and the name
Of the person charged with being the
original source OF infection must be
turned over to the health authorities.
This, declares Gen. Sage, can be
adopted as a war measure, and 1t Is
fully justified by existing conditions,
both in civil and military life. A bill
embodying his ideas is now being
framed, and, If passed, Mississippi will
be the first state in the Union to enact
radical legislation of this character.
Maj. Morris and Maj. Davis, mem
bers of the staff of Maj.Gen. Sage, ap-
peared before the joint committee ses-
sion and presented an interesting ar
ray Of facts and figures bearing on
the question, additional to those cited
by Gen. Sage in his address to the
Joint session of the legislature.
