S.Army About the Hun Drive By Associated Press With the American Army in France, March 2S. —While there is no false optimism regarding events in Northern France in the American expeditionary force, all ranks, al though realizing that the situation is tense, are confident that allied arms eventually will be victorious. Not the slightest doubt is ex pressed but that the British and French will not only halt the enemy but defeat him. All the American troops are anx ious to get into the fight and are envious of the role played by the handful of American railroad en gineers who are believed to have been caught in the German advance. Some of the Americans far back of the lines have Insisted that they heard the rumble of the guns In the zone of fighting, but this is not prob able owing to the distance of the American sector from the battle front. This is taken as an Indication of the anxiety of the American troops to get into action against the Germans. To the American, troops tpsiining in Northern France the great battle in Picardy has had the effect of making them speed up their work for they feel that eventualities might make it necessary for them to take part in the fighting.

Soldiers By Associated Press With the American Army in France, March 29.—Four prisoners were captured by the Americans on . the front northwest of Toul some time during the night or early to- j day, according to reports filtering; back from the line.

The artillery fire was heavier dur- j ing the night, the Germans putting I down a barrage on the American | positions.
