American casualties were slight and
American rifle fire and machine-gunning
was remarkable.
The Germans began bombarding
towns held by the Americans behind
Xivray at midnight and continued
cannonading throughout Sunday
morning. A hundred crawling Her
mans tried to catch the American
asleep In Xivray, hot tho dermam--were
discovered. Then one wave of
800 Infantry storm troops rushed Into

heaps, completely broken. One hun

Xivray. 1
Thp attacks followed a fruitless
enemy assault Saturday night. A
barrage announced new efforts at J
o'clock Sunday morning and the at
