Americans Run Shell-Hole Dash Through No Man's Land
An American patrol of one officer and eight men emerged from a shell hole near Toul and dashed across No Man's Land without a shot fired. They lost their way in the dark and were joyfully safe upon return. Artillery and anti aircraft fire dominated the day as Americans shelled German first lines and a rear town. Engagements Monday night near French Lorraine involved fresh American troops repelling a German raiding party. An American officer retrieved a Prussian lieutenant from a German trench during a raid with French colleagues.

Alien German Property To Be Sold By Government
Plans to weaken German holdings in the United States were presented to Congress by A Mitchel Hainer. Republicans opposed a measure to sell German ships and property to private interests rather than the United States government. Proceeds would be held for postwar disposition with the fate of German assets in Germany to be similarly treated.
