With the American Army in France,
Feb. 21.—(Correspondence.—What is
known back in the United States as a
“kldder” cannot be suppressed even
who had just come up from a replace-
ment division and had not seen many
airplanes—especially Germans air-
planes—before, watched this one in-
tently. His head kept going back,
back until his neck was on a right
angle with his body. And his mouth
which had opened just a little as his
head started going back, finally was
wide open. There he was looking
up open-mouthed. Then the sergeant
saw him.
"Hey there,” cried the sergeant,
“you’d better close that. First thing
you know that Boche will see that
opening, think it’s a dugout door and
drop a bomb in it.”
British Headquarters in France,
March 25.—A further advance late
yesterday by the Germans at some
points is recorded. American engi-
neers again have been in action and
did excellent transportation work.
German cavalry in small numbers
have been in action, but were used
only to harass the British during the
withdrawal. The Germans have been
pushing forward by sheer weight in
numbers, with the assistance of a lit-
tle artillery.
lice announces.
The statement continues: “The
battle continues with great violence.
Powerful attacks by the enemy north
of Bapaume were heavily repulsed.
The enemy attacks were stopped by
rifle, machine gun and artillery fire
with great loss. Heavy fighting is in
progress in the region of Noyon, on
the right bank of the Oise.”

With the American Army in France,
