Americans Raid German Lines in Lorraine Front Action
American forces with French detachments conducted three raids on German trenches opposite American positions in Lorraine. They crossed the first line, reached the second line about six hundred yards back, and after a shell barrage pushed the Germans from their dugouts. The trenches were found empty aside from a few watchers, and the Americans held the positions for about forty minutes before withdrawing. The operation yielded captured German papers and a dugout explosion later, with no American casualties reported.
