With the American Army in France,
April 22.
The all-day fight on Saturday be
tween American and French soldiers
and ltf)0 German storming troops
on the sector northwest of Toul will
go down in history as the battle of
Seicheprey.
Seichcprey is tho name of the vil-
lage into which the Germans forced
their way, only to be driven out by
i strong counter-attacks.
(The French War Office in its re
port on Sunday night stated that
the German assault against the
American and French positions had
failed and that the Allied lines had
been completely re-established.)
mi-' The bombardment which preceded
the German attack was said to be as
heavy as any that the Germans laid
down in their offensive at Verdun.
A terrific barrage of gas shells swept
the American lines before the
Germans drove forward in three
1 columns.
The main attack was aimed at
, Seichcprey village. Americans in
fantrymen, supported by machine
guns, met the foe in tho streets and
' nairow by-ways and pursued thein
I into the wrecked houses.
The village had long ago been
evacuated by the civilian population,
owing to repeated bombardments.
The buildings, resembling a shattered
sepulchre, furnished a dramatic
background for the engagements.
