All along the western front the fighting activities still have held down to small infantry attacks and artillery dm' Is, which on some sectors have been quite violent. To the French again ha>f fallen the task of facing tho fiercest Infantry lighting. In lx?r ralne the Germans delivered numerous strong attacks, hut all of them were put down, with sanguinary losaes to the attackers. At several other points the Germans also have endeavored to I tenet rate French positions. The American troops on the Toul sector recently have been giving the Germans, and effectively, a' dose of their own favorite weapon?asphyxiat ing gas. Four different .sectors of tln> Germans were gas-shelled. On tholr part the Gerjnans have adopted another new plan of warfare, which the American troops on the sec tor attacked described as, "dirty work.' This was the .trapping from an air plane of large rubber halls tilled with mustard gas.
