BATTERIES ARE SILENCED. Ammunition Dumps and Houses Behind Enemy Lines are Wiped Out —— SAMMIES HOLD A PERMANENT GAIN With the American Army in. France, Mar. 14, 10:00 p. m.—(By Associated. Press) —American troops in the Luneville sector have occu- pied and are holding enemy trenches northeast of Badon- villers, which they forced the Germans to abandon through recent raids and repeated artillery fire. | The tfenches have’ been consolidated with ours. This, through a small for- ward movement, marks the first permanent advance by the American army in France and tlie consolidation of the trenches engbles the Ameri- cans and French to operaté from higher ground than heretofore. The Germans made only feeble efforts to retake the positions, and each time were repulsed. <3 With the American Army in France, Tuesday, Mar. 12.—(Ry the Associat- ed Press)—Four groups of German gas projectors, in addition to the group of 200 projectors already re- Ported destroyed, have been discov- ered and likewise blown to pieces by the Amemican artillery. Probable Ger- man plans for gas attack on a com- paratively large scale against the Amv| erican, positions northwest of Toul haye. thus ‘been upset. The new group of. projectors were discovered from aerial. photographs taken by American observers in French airplanes. The effective ac- tion. taken agajnst them was due. to the quick. work of the observers, the intelligence officers and the artiller- ists in turn. Activity Growing The American artillery on this front has been more active than ever in the Past fifteen hours, and its shells also found lodgement in a number of am- munition dumps, which were blown up. Many extensive explosions are re- ported. The correspondent, standing on a hill, witnessed one dump situat- h ed;in a wood go up in a brilliant flash and. a. great. puff of whitish smoke, a tremendous report following a few.sec- onds later. Explosions and fires also were caused by. our shells in villages and a number in the woods behind the enemy front. Maskless in Gas During a retaliatory shelling for an enemy bombardment in which a number. of gas: shells: fell on our bat- tery positions, the American guns sil- enced: certain German batteries by pouring in a fast. and extremely ac- curate: fire, Our artillerymen. stayed in their dugouts until the gas shells began to fall: when they put on their masks and manned the guns while thus protected. Some mustard gas shells were mixed with the others that fell and: later a few of our men walked | through this type of gas without their masks on. The American artillery also tore great: gaps in the enemy. wire and lev- eling various portions of the. first and second line trenches forcing the enemy virtually to abandon them. American Barrage Good. Details: of. the recent. raids which have: just been developed: show that /' while numbers of Germans were killed by. shell fire: when the bax barrage was in effect and others later by the creeping barrage, there were also a few ofthe enemy shot: here,and there during: the time our men: were in the:trenches.

One of the American sharpshooters crawled cautiously to a vantage point in No Man's Land and: opened up on him. The second’ shot hit the German, whose body dropped to the enemy wire where it hung for the rest of the day. Machine Guns Wiped Out.

An American aerial observer in-a French airplane crossed the German lines this morning at a low altitude and used his machine gun effec ively on the second line. Other “Americans were in the air all day, many of them over German territory. One aerial hat- tle is reported. The American observ. er emptied one gun at & German plane, but without apparent resu.’, as the enemy was hurrying toward the rear. Another machine in which the American observers were manning; {he guns went up to meet German planes which had crossed the lines, but the Americans failed to get close enough to shoot with any chance cf scoring a hit. The Germans are doing much work behind their lines, Additional camou- flage construction is going on there and an exceedingly heavy traffic is in evidence at many places, especially at night. INDICTMENTS PILE UPON . NONPARTISAN Red Wing, Minn., Mar. 15.—Joseph Gilbert manager of the National Non- partisan league, L. W. Martin, county organizer for the league, and’N. S. Randall, league spcaker, were indict- ed by the Goodhue county grand jury today on charges of disloyalty and sedition, Counts were brought against each for alleged disloyal uterances, tending to discourage enlistments, made in speeches at Kenyon last Au- gust. Two additional counts were re- turned against Martin; one for re- marks made in a Kenyon barber shop altercation between him and J. Gates, | former: state representative, and for which Martin brought suit against Gates, and another for alleged disloy- al statements made at Goodhue vil- lage.
