AMERICANS MEET GERMANS.
U. S. Troops Almost Wipe Out As-
saulting Party.
American troops repulsed a strong
German attack early last Friday
morning in the salient north of Toul.
A number of Americans were killed
and wounded but the Germans paid
dear for their experience as very few
of them escaped. It was the hottest
engagement the U. S. troops have
been in so far, but the morale they
displayed was fine.
A driving wet snow was falling
* when the Germans opened fire on the
American salient with every weapon
at their command. Seventy-sevens,
heavy shells and gas shells fell in a
perfect whirlwind on the trenches for
half an hour. At the same time oth-
er enemy shells in great numbers were
dropping on the American battery
positions.
The Germans, evidently thinking
that the Americans in that section,
having had one taste of gas a few
days previous, would fear it now, let
loose great quantities of poisonous
gas, but the men put on their masks
and only a few were affected by it.
So intense was the fire that the woods
back of the salient were shot to pieces.
At 6 o’clock the barrage fire lifted
on the trenches to the right of the sal-
ient and Germans numbering 240
came sweeping forward under the
protection of their fire. They came
forward apparently intending to make
a big haul and jumped into what was
left of the trenches, but there, instead
of the easy time anticipated, found
the Americans all ready for battle.
Fierce hand-to-hand fighting began.
One American officer rallied men
with rifles and machine guns and went
through the American entanglements
into No Man’s Land and there waited
for the enemy, whom he expected to
be driven out by his comrades in the
trenches.
He was right, for soon groups of
the enemy started back through the
wire entanglements. The Americans
poured in a deadly fire, and few Ger-
mans escaped back to their lines.
While the Americans were in front
of the wire entanglements and in shell
holes, still fighting desperately, the
American barrage fire began sweep-
ing No Man’s Land, catching many
running Prussians who had enough
of American methods. The barrage
swept back and forth making sure of
doing all possible damage to the foe.
When the enemy had been driven
back out of the positions the bodies
of 10 German soldiers were found in
the American trenches. Two German
officers were entangled in the wire
and many bodies were in sight. Eight
were visible through the snowstorm
at one point. The ground was littered
with enemy hand grenades, boxes of
explosives for destroying dugouts and
incendiary bombs which they had no
opportunity to use. Three German
prisoners were taken, and they con-
fessed that they had been planning
for the attack for a month and had
hoped to pierce the allies line, not
figuring on such stubborn resistance
by the American troops.

War-time Operating
In the present extraordinary situation there is one feature
of Bell Telephone traffic operation that is brought to
particular public notice.
Calls for numbers that have been disconnected, for party-line
numbers that have been changed, and certain other local
calls that cannot be completed by the first answering opera-
tor, are referred to what are known as “Special Operators.”
The latter are provided with ample records making possible
the establishment of desired connections with the least
possible delay; and it is urged that the public co-operate
with them, evidencing consideration and patience when
factors outside the control of the answering operator neces-
sitate the referring of calls to a Special Operator.
