BY AMERICANS
Huns Angered By Failure Bombard
Villages Eight Miles Back of Lines.
VITII THE AMKHlfAN ARMY IN
FKANCK. June 1 7. ( liy the Assoct-
prisoners, but the alertness of the
American artillery observers com
pletely foiled the enemy plan. Exam
ination of the Germans captured in
the fight disclosed that the enemy
planned the raid a w-eek In advance
and that the six hundred special
troops who took part In It were re
hearsed behind the German lines.
The enemy plan was to send for
ward a lartre party without prepara
tory artillery fire. This party was to
take up a position near the American
barbed wire and then send up a sig
nal for a box barrage to cover Xivray
xillage and the approaching commu
nication trenches while the heavier
artillery was to bombard the villages
in the rear.
Ilurr.-itic Signalled for
American artillery observers saw a
large number of Germans creeping
about in So Man's land and thinking
they composed a large working party,
the artillery signalled for a barrage.
The American artillery and ma
chine guns went Into action immedi
ately and before the enemy barrage
could get started had inflicted heavy
casualties on the unprotected Ger
mans in No Man's land and played
havoc with the plans for the raid.
The original enemy plan was for
the attacking party to divide Into
three sections and to enter Xivray
from three different directions. Only
one section actually reached the out
skirts of the village and only after It
had been cut up badly by Amorica.i
barrage fire. Of these only a small
group got Into Xivray where they
were iulckly surrounded by the
Americans and cither captured or
killed. Ulght prisoners. Including a
lieutenant, remained In the American
hand's.
Mnircli Is Kestmyed
A majority of the American casual,
ties, which do not Include any miss
ing, resulted from the German artil
lery fire. Casualties among French
civilians occurred when a German
shell burst near a church as a proces
sion of villagers was emerging from
mass. Many of the French wounded
were cared for In A iierkans hospi
tals. This afternoon tlio American artil
lery opened a relaliitorv tire against
the area behind the German lines,
while tile German, app.trcntly an
gered bv the. failure of the raid, bom
barded villages ns far as eight miles
behind the American lines. The
whole Toul sector is now echoing to
the heaviest gun (ire In many weeks.

; So far, German troops ale reported
tonly in one sector on the mountain
1 front but it is not improbable that
'they will be dispatched to aid the
j Austrians If they can be spared along
'the French front. Furious fighting
is said to be continuing. The fact,
however, that the first onslaught did
not result in a virtual debacle such as
ensued when the Germans an Aus
trians attacked along the Isonzo front
last October speaks volumes for the
Italian morale.
The full force of the Austrian blow
in the mountain region drove the de
fenders of the Venetian plains back
to their third line, but there the Ital
ians held and by successive counter
attacks have ru-oecupied important
positions on the Asiago plateau and
have recaptured mountain heights
along the Drenta. Around Montello
height where the battle line turns
toward the Adriatic, the British have
completely established their line and
maintain it against vicious enemy
blows.
Austrian Claims
Between the Brenta and the piaxe
the Austrians apparently have gained
a strong foothold on the western
slopes on Monte Grappa, one of the
key positions protecting the plains
around I'.as&ano. Kast and west of
Monte Grappa, however, the Italians
and allied troops hold the enemy in
check.
In two days of fighting Vienna
claims the capture of 12,000 pris
oners on the . Piave and In the
mountain region.; Fifty guns were
taken along the river front. In their
counter-attacks. begun Saturday
night, the Italians already hax-e cap
tured three thousand of the enemy.
The Austrians plan apparently to
strike heavily on the north and on
the east at the same moment in the
hope that on one of the- fronts large
forces could be thrown on the Vene
tian plains between Bassano and Tre
vieso. Onthe front in France the fighting
activity has been limited to local Ger
man attacks at Isolated points. Fail
ure attended a strong effort to pene
trate the American lines at Xivray,
cast of St. .Mihiel.
The Lys salient In Flanders is be
ing subjected to a heaxy German ar
tillery fire. The enemy is paying
special attention to the front south
west of Vpres, east of Dickeliusch
lake and to the western part of the
southern leg of the salient where the
British recently carried out a consid
erable local advance.

Chilly, damp, changing weather Is

They congest the kidneys;

"I have been taking Doan's Kidney:

After I have taken a couple of boxes j
