T IL L A M O O K YANKS BALK ATTACK German Captain Had Complete .Map o f American Positions, but Sam mies Upset Teuton Plans. With the American Army in France — A plan o f attack, including a map of the American positions, indicating every dugout, which was removed from the body of the Prussian captain who led the recent assault upon the sector northwest of Toul, shows how com pletely the Germans prepare their raids, if in fact this was but a simple raid not having as its ultimate object the retention o f a portion of the sa lient. The map goes into such detail as to show every trench and every depres sion in the ground within the Ameri can lines.

They were told that the Americans were in front of them. After the artillery had nearly leveled the American positions, the Germans started out from their nests, each of which contained 40 infantrymen, oqe lieutenant and three pioneers to pre cede the infantry and five to follow it. The two groups upon the American ex treme right went around this flank and the group upon the extreme ft car ried out a similar movement there.

When they were met by the heavy machine gun fire from the American lines they saw it would be impossible to gain a footing there, changed their position and followed the other groups around the flank. The duty of the pioneers preceding the infantry was to clean up any wire that had not been broken by the artil lery, while the pioneers who followed carried large quantities of explosives for the purpose of cleaning up the dug- outs. Official reports o f the interrogation of the prisoners taken by the Ameri cans show that not all of them believed Germany would win the war.

Women Patrons of the Bank A few years ago, there were practically no women who were patrons o f the Bank. Now, however, women recognize the service o f the Bank as one o f the aids in handling household and personal money affairs. The progressive woman deposits allowances for home expenses and pays all accounts by check. The result is that her money is always safeguarded against loss by fire or burglary and her money goes farther because o f the systematic way in which it is handled.
