from defective electric light wiring. J.
S. Grieve, the fireman at the laundry,
entered the building just before day

the office, tie stated that he went after
an armful of wood, and when he returned
the roof In the center of the building

tinder In the attic from the heat below,
and as the roof was made of tarpaper,
covered with sand, is spread under the
roof, and the attic was a mass of flames
when the fi.-e detriment arrived. The

With the American Army in Lorraine,
Mjiy 12. Information gleaned from Ger
man operationa opposite the American
fronts indicates a thinning of the enemy
lines 'because-of the drains on German
resources fr'nn Picardy.' '
The American ecctors are far enough
Apart to jusrify deductions regarding the
German predicament through thla scar
city of man power.
American patrols found Ancerviller
(in the Luuevilie sector three miles
northwest of Badonviller) deserted. It
had been a '-'ormer German outpost and
the scene of much patrol fighting. The
Germana n3 onger attempt to hold their
hole outposts, retiring to safer positions
to avoid fighting with the Americana
German pruonera indicate the loweat
grade of Gi-rman troops are here.
Northwest of Tcul, American activity
holla a "tri-veling circus." German atom
troops, organized for hammer-like blows
at our lines.
There are no German planes over the
Americans any more. Although a ape
rial Gerniin air aqoadron arrived tfi
punish tbe American aviators, tbe enemy
planes are chancing no combats except
far behind the bocbe lines.
On the Wrdun front, the Americans
bavejearned that the German lines ar,e
aparaely hell The boches are auti-
tutmg frequent bombardments of high
explosives and (s for Germsn troops.
This also ia aken by American officera
to Indicate :hat tbe enemy ia uneasy.
In all tertora the enemy's outer
positions, trenches and gas projectors
have been badly damaged by the Amer
icsn artillery, without cnusing any re
prisal from the Germana.
American patrola this morning pene
trated the G 'rmaa wires in tbe Toul sec
tor and found a number of German bodies
in tbe enemy's advanced positions. These
boches are believed to have been killed
by the Am-irxan bombardment. German
machine guns are active against Seiche
prey (In the Toul sector).
Ia the Lorraine and Verdun sectors,
American pstrols penetrated ths Ger
mun wires asily, and conducted exten
sive explorations without encountering
any res.rtasce.
Shells heaved ever by the German gas
projectors r-ceotly are of a new type,
now popnlany designated aa "tin cana."
They are 18 Inches long and eight inches
in diameter, blunt at both enda and
contain three er four gallons of liquid
which evapnrea rspidly and throws off
a gas. The projectors are not rifled, and
it is posible to throw these new missiles
only a ehort distance. Tbe gaa is a form
of phosgene, and is capable of apreadinc.,
a dangerous vspor over an arsa of SO
yards.
The Germans shoot "sneete gas" first,
then the phiMgene. attempting to give the
Yankees a whiff of ths former, to force
them to remove their gas maska and
sneese, thos easbling ths phosgene to
do Its deadlier work.
The trick t illed, ss the doughboys art
