AMERICANS WIN III
NEW GERMAN RAID
THREE RECENT RAIDS PROVE

Another German raid on the Ameri'

Danes sector. After sharp fighting
ths enemy retired, leaving four 70 )

Three companies of shock troops,
one of which had been srouSht from

The American and French artillery

lied, and during his retirement.
One of the prisoners captured said
this was the beginning Of a series #
similar raids on large scale along
the western front.
The three recent raids, one in the
Toul sector and two along the Cue
nlin-des-Dames, have demonstrated
that the American soldier, notwitl-
standing his previous inexperience,
now is perfectly at home in a gas
with as without it. In SO quickly
reaching this stage the Americans
have shown their usual adaptability
Gas was used in all three attacks in
just sufficient quantities to make
masks necessary, as the Germans in
their later attacks did not desire y
encounter quantities of their gas.
There were many other instances
OF personal bravery. a lieutenant, a
sergeant and two pr;yates were in q
dugout when some Germans looked
in. One cried out in good English:
Come out, Americans"
The four Americans blazad away
with their automatics, then rushed the
entrance to stumble over the bodies of
the men, who they had killed by their
quick resistance.
Although the army has been ours
ing the weather and the mud for days,
there is one man in the line who Is
glad it was muddy, FOR he owes his
life to the slippery duck boards" or
the flooring in the trenches. With
pistol in hand, he rounded a trench
corner looking for the Germans. y
burly Prussian saw him first and fired
but at the same moment the Ameri-
can slipped and fell on his face. The
Ci
turned away. He was quickly dropped
in his tracks by the prone American,
who fired accurately from the trench
bottom. There were men in the fight
from virtually all the states from New
York to Texas. With one or two ex-
ceptons, all the wounded are expect
ed to recover.

NEXT DRAFT COMESIN APRIL
Announcement Is Held Up Pending
Action of Congress on New
Draft Rules.

Washington.-Ann of the
date of the next draft is imminent.
The provost marshal generals Off g
has prepared IAN important announce
ment,' which is believed to deal with
the time and method of summonipg
the second levy. The best opinion is
that the first of the men will move
to camp in April.
Publication OF the announcement -
held up pending action by congress
on pending amendments to the select
i've service act. The most important
ion of Provost Marshal General Grow
der, is that which will give him au-
thority to base state quotas on the to.
tai number of men in class Al, in
stead of the total registered.
Preparations have been made for
summoning the remaining negroes,
certified under the first draft. Be
tween 10000 and $4,000 of these were
called, but only half of them have
been sent to the training camps. The
inadvisability of centralzing these
troops in southern camps and the fact
that the army medical authorities do
not believe it safe to transfer them
to colder northern camps during the
winter are given as the principal rea-
sons for the delay.
The joint resolution already passed
by the senate, providing for a change
in the selective draft law so as to
base the quota of each state on the
number of men in class l, instead of
on the population, was fayorably re-
ported to the house by the military
committee and will be acted upon
promptly.

CATCH OF BAD MAN

Dallas, 8. D., April 22.-While on
duty one night recently Wayne Hotch-

up q suspicious looking character who
got off from a freight train from the
east. The man gave his name as John
Williams, and his actions were such as
to justify the guards to lock him up in
jail for the night. He was taken be-
fore the council Of defense and 1t was
learned that he had been working near
Fairfax. He was seditious in his re-
marks. stating that the Red Cross was
q graft, mi other like remarks about
the war. He had 800 or 80 in his peck
cts and wore a straw hat, and these
facts led the authorities to class him as
q plain nut" However. he was given
u good talking to by the chairman. ad-
vised to give $40 to the Red Cross,
which he did ana was placed on the
train and ordered to report to the
mayor Of Winner. He had said that he
was going to Winner to work. Williams
failed to report at Winner and the
guards at that place were notified and
after q search found him in an aban-
doned homestead shack several miles
from Winner. He was put through a
"frisking' and papers and locations OF
elevators were FOUND on his person,
which clearly established his identifi-
cation as a spy. He vas taken to Sioux
Falls Tuesday where he will be tried.
