RAW AT TOUL WINS
RICH BOOTY FOR V. S.
By the United Press
With the Amerlcnn Armies In France,
Aug. 6. Fighting on the "quiet" sectors
of the American front was more active
yesterday than for some time past.
American troopi raided enemy positions
north of Toul, capturing a great quan
tity of small arms, materials and ma
chine guns. Ono of the latter was taken
while in action, tho doughboys killing
the entire crew. Tho number of Ger
mans killed during the raid was consid
erable. In the Lorraine area American artil
lery frustrated a raid by a patrol of
specially trained troops, cutting oft sev
eral, who were captured. The prisoners
explained thnt patrols ot specially pick
ed and trnlncd troopt are now touring
the "quiet" sectors of the lines in com
panies of twenty to fifty for the pur
fiose of capturing outposts and obtain
ng Information.
The fact that the Germans are obliged
to form special units for this work means
a scarcity of men intelligent or Inter
ested enough to conduct the usual ln-formatlon-gatherlng
raids.
