American Sentry Held in Check by German Prowler in No Man's Land
In France on Oct 30, American batteries shell German lines while no major infantry action is reported. A German mail carrier captured near American trenches dies later in a field hospital after being shot by an American patrol. Letters found on him reveal confusion over Americans in France. Italy's campaigns shift as Austro German offensives press toward Udine and the Isonzo front. The Italian cabinet changes loom with Giolitti influence. Red Cross pledges aid to Italy with $3 million for medical supplies and $500,000 for ambulance service as U.S. support signals continued backing.
