The fighting is om the cast flank of the American Second Di- vision, which plugged the hole the enemy ripped in allied lines in its renewal of the spring of- fensive. The Second Division is pressing forward, probing an © ominous buildup of enemy forces on its sector .The Communists may have massed 130,000 troops opposite the Second Division lines.

And he asked that decision be reserved until his workers were able to go out another 150 feet.
