and Courtcmanolio and
started a lire at Mesnlt-St, rjcorcrs. The
church at CantlKny was belns u:-ed for
observation by the enemy.
Tho bombardment lasted all nlBlit The
concussion of the heay ruiim roiked the
entire front. At the rame tlmo tho "Gs
poured In a hot, harasns Mir.
The German? are nniMiiK the Htronu-
est efforts to capture Americans, but
without" result. Not a rlncle American
prisoner has yet been lost on tills front.
Forty of tho enemy attempted to rtHi
sB- section of our trenches, throwing
prenades as they ndvanceil. They wero
repulsed before they penetrated our en
tanglement, leaving two dead on tho
wire. Their other casualties aio not
known.
Later another attempt was made to
capture one of our adanced posts, but
It, too, was repulsed.
An American i entry, who shot a Oer
mn doer, found a nolo In tho message
box on Its collar from an enemy officer
asking permission to change his post of
command.
Standing shoulder to shoulder lt the
French on this front, the Americans nro

A return of pleasant weather, coupled
with military observations, Indicates
early attackB.
The doughbojH say that the attacks
cannot come too quick for them. They
are In the pink of condition and tough a
leather. The artillery and machine-gun
units aro trained to the minute.
The Infantry Is Itching for a scrap
and full of confidence. Tho French are
full of admiration, but this feeling Is
mutual.
An American otllcer remarked:
"The Helnlea that clash against tho
section of the lino held by tho Ameri
cans will find tough going. The physi
cal fitness of the-Ainericans Is much
admired by the French olllccrrf."
The fact that tho OtrniJiia arn
screened only by hastily eontriietcd
trenches and shallow pita Ih hailed an
an advantage for the Atncrlc.ni. The
Americana are Indifferent to tho fact
that they aro at tho eatno disadvantage
as the German.
The Americans say that the Germans
loso punch and courage when they are
out of their trenches. The Yankees call
the Germans "sewer lighters."
Both sides aro Touched like tigers
ready for u spring ucroas tho narrow
ttrlp of freshly tilled ground between
the hastily laced wlru protecting the
front lines
Amerlcaim arc billeted In picturesque
villages behind tho front lines living In
stables and tumble clown houses. The
"chow guns" (portablo cooking stoves)
aro kept under cover and the bread Is
stacked about In corners like cord wood
The men'a equipment Is adroitly con
ceale'd In arlous places by camouflage.
A majority of tho civilian population
was driven out by shellllre, but there
are a few grandmothers In white bun
nets and blue aprons and children un
conscious of danger.
Berlin Gets a Shock
in New Russian Envoy
Geneva, May 10.
Olllclal diplomatic circles nro be
Itic continually shocked by Adolph
Jorfe, tho new Russian Soviet am
basmidor to Uorlln, nccordltiK to a
newspaper dispatch. He has hoisted
the red flap above the embassy nnd
refuses to meet the Emperor. He
has not visited the Government of
ficials, which Is customary, nnd ho
cavo his first Important dinner to
tho minority German Socialists, at
which ho expressed opinions In
strong language.
Berlin never experienced such a
strange ntnbmssulor, according to
the dlxpalch, nnd It Is believed
measures will bo taken quietly to
have him withdrawn.

"Tho flap was turned down when the
