This state of mind was responsible for two heavy raids on our positions northwest of Thlapcourt yesterday. The Boches attempted to gain the same position in both attacks, but were driven back each time with heavy losses. Some of the Germans went through our artillery barrage, but these were- cut down by rifle-fire or were bayoneted. There has been no other Infantry fight ing here for th past several hours. Even the artillery activity baa lessened as the opposing armies take, cover in their newly constructed trenches and dugouts. American patrols continue to inspect the Hlndenburg line. every night. These patrols also prevent th Germans from exploring the areas in front of their wire. ' The rear areas have now- been prac tically cleaned up. Huge boxes of cap tured German clothing, guns, ammunt tlon and other supplies are being hauled to the rear. Refugees are returning to their homes in recaptured villages, after four years' absence, attempting to find their houses among the ruins which have been left everywhere.
