at the bottom there is simply a line
drawn, labelled "our front line"..' Along
ills line are five shtaded p0oortions, each
marked "nest".
Four relearsals were held for tile
attack and the troopjs who made it
were specially piched from new ar
rivals of fresh I roops in the sectors.
They were told tiat the Aniericans
were In front of them.
After tihe artillery had carefully
levelledl the American position, the
Germans started olit from their nest.
each of which contained forty infan
I ryien. one lieutenant and three
Iioneers to precede the infantry and
five to follow It. The two groulps upon
the American extreme right went
around the flank and the groups upon
the extreme left carried out a similar
movement there.
The two groups in the center had
planned to attack directly, but the
American defense changei all the
nlans. When they were met by the
heavy machine gun fire from the Amer

The duty of the pioneers preceding the
infantry was to clear tip any wire that
had not been brokeln by the artillery
and the pioneers who followed carried
large quantities of explosives for the
purpose of cleaning up tie duigotits.
