EERMANJRENCHES
WENT OVER THE TOP IN BROAD
DAYLIGHT AND STAVED FOUR
HOURS TRENCHES PROTECTED
BY ELECTRICITY.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY in
FRANCE, March 30.—Two officers and
four men went over the top yesterday
in broad daylight, a feat seldom ac
complished. Although the sun was
shining and the sky was Clear the Am
ericans decided not to defer any long
er their determination to learn defi
nitely whether Germans were present
in great numbers in an enemy trench.
When dawn came there were faint
clouds showing back of the enemy’s
lines and the Americans delayed for a
time, hoping for rain and fog, but
but the clouds disappeared the two of
ficers and the four men decided to
make the daylight venture, although
they would be under the eyest of the
watchful enemy, and were in a place
where even pistol bullets might find
their mark.
Machine guns wer e posted, and the
Americans with grenades swinging
at their waists and with rifles in hand, I
climbed up from the fire step and out j
over the parapet. They slid head first i
into the nearest shell hole, taking ad- i
vantage of the slightest rise in the ter
rain, the patrol proceeded. In the
trenches behind their comrades stood *
with fingers on the ir rifles ready to
fire the instant any Germans might
show themselves.
From tl)e American lines the patrol
members were seen to force thejr way
through the enemy wire and, one by
one disappear into the German front;
trench.
During the next four hours the men
in the trenches waited anxiously, not
hearing anything from the patrol, who
during the time were inspecting six
hundred yards of the German trenches.
Prepared for instant battle, the six
Americans made their way from one
trench section to another, going tniri (

each dugout with the muzzles of their
pistols and rifles preceding them, and
traveled 300 yards. Returning to the
point from which they had started on
their inspection, they searched the
trenches in the other direction. While
four hours may seem a long time for
this work it must be kept in mind that
every ben and every dugout may con
tain an overwhelming group and there
was no assurance that the Germans
had not concealed men in places, pre
pared to meet the Invaders.
It was noon when the first head of
an American was observed above an
enemy parapet. The watchers in the
American lines breathed easier but at
this moment the Germans discovered
the patrol and rifle bullets began to
smack against the trench sides and
bottom.
Discovered, the six Americans lost
no time in moving out. Unscathed,
thej- returned to our lines, bringing
all the information they had sought.
At the other end of our line during
SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 191 R.
the night, American patrols sought to
go through the enemy wire. They pen
etrated the first belt successfully, but
when they reached the second, a ser
geant, who is from Texas, put his hand
on a wire and received an electris
shock and was burned.
This attracted the attention of an
enemy sentry, who fired a flare, forc
ing the Americans to drop to the
ground, and they crawled hurriedly
back to their own lines as the flare
fired away.
