FOE PREPARES FOR NEW BLOW AT AMERIC ANS Germans Sweep Scicheprev Positions With Deluge of Bullets With the American Army In France. May 12.—The Seicheprey sa lient shows signs of again becoming active. The enemy last night and this morning deluged the place with machine gun bullets. On the same front one of the American patrols found a number of German bodies in advanced enemy trenches, where they had probably been left during the heavy American bombardment on the night of May 4. American patrols have entered the enemy lines in the sectors of Lune- VlHe and south of the Verdun, but did not encounter resistance. Official reports of • the German losses in the Seicheprey battle, ac cording to d. prisoner recently cap tured. give 600 killed, wounded or missing. Seicheprey 'was th& scene of the bloodiest battle in which American troops have yet been engaged. Ger man storm troops attacked in strong force and captured the village, but were thrown back to their own lines by a French-American counterattack. In the Luneville sector our'patrols early this morning established the fact that the hamlet of Ancerviller has been abandoned by the enemy. The Germans had not even attempt ed to occupy shell holes in the sa lient. which recently was torn up by our artillery. Quiet prevails to-day on all fronts in which there are Americans, ac cording to reports. Poor visibility has prevented aerial activity. This sector lies along the Rhine- Marne canal, and the American line is practically on the German fron tier. A very short retirement by the Germans would carry them within their own border.
