U. S. Artillery Sends Harass

i
' (By Aaaoclated Prcee.)
With the American Army in
France, May 13. Improved weather
conditions led to increased air activ
ity in the Toul sector today. Many
American planes weic working over
the enemy lines and observation bal
loons were ur for the first time in
manv davs.
The American artillery last night
anA thia mnrnino' directed a heavy
and harassing fire on German rear
areas, where it is known troops are
billeted and it is suspected that others
are moving. . , .
A big enemy ammunition dump at
Cantigny was fired by the American
artillery this morning. At the same
time two fires were started in Mont
didier, followed by numerous explo
sions. , German Position Untenable.
The weather continues mfsty and
rainy. There was no infantry action
today and only intermittent machine
gun and rifle fire. The position of
the Germans is becoming more and
more intolerable, while the Ameri
cans are entrenching their positions
more firmly. Any hopes the enemy
might have had of breaking through
in this sector are diminishing.
The Americans take nothing for
granted, but return fire two to one,
which is believed to set a new pace
in this.sector. What appears to trou
ble 'the Germans most is that the
Americans never turn back when the
enemy uses gas. Xhey give him a

Details of the fighting in the Lune

counter between American and Ger

Three American snipers, dressed in
camouflage suits, set out to discover
a nest of sharpshooters who had been
operating with much success and had
killed one American officer and one
private.
t They penetrated the enemy posi
tion and suddenly encountered a num
ber of Germans, with an officer, stand
ing a few feet away. The Americans
quickly opened fire, killing the officer
and three . men before they were
obliged to withdraw.
During their return one man be
came lost, and three scout officers and
four men returned in search of him.
They again penetrated the enemy po
sition, where they had another en
counter with the Germans without
casualties to the American side. The
missing man came in while the sec
