This imposes additional hard ships on the Germans who hold tha shell torn lowlands, while the allies occupy the high ground, most of which is unscarred by war. If the Germans were not prepared to attack when the weather was most favorable, ' i is not likely they will essay a new offensive operation while rain and mud retard their movements. American airmen now patrol the sector northwest of Toul and '; a squadron is acting as the eyes for and protector of the American troops on this front. The recent activity of American airmen in the region east of St. Mihiel was carried on by this squadron, which also is aided by other American aviators. '' American troops also may be soon fighting the Austro-Huntrarians in the mountains of northern Italy. At the climax to the celebration of Italy's entrance into the war, in New York, Secretary of War Baker announced that machine gun and artillery units soon would be standing side by side with General Diaz's men. Strong patrol and artillery activity continues on the Italian front.
