With the American Army in
France, Tuesday, March 19, (By
the Aasoeiated Preat.) A German
airplane, both laat night and thia
morning flew over the American
aector northwest of Toul and
dropped rubber balls eighteen
inchea in diameter filled with
.liquified mustard gas. Thia is the .
first time, so far as is known, that
an airplane has been thue em
ployed. With the American Army in France,
Tuesday, March 19. By the Asso
ciated Press.) American artillery on
the Toul front hae heavily attacked
the Germans with gas sheila during
the paet day or so, it is now permitted
to announce. Four different attacks
were launched and from the manner in
which the enemy was silenced it is'
evident they had the desired effect.
DuririR one period when the gas
shells were flying over the enemy lines
);ist night a German air plane with a
red tail light appeared over the Amer
ican lines and dropped a red rocket, for
what purpose it Is not known. How
rver, shrapnel from American anliair-,
rraft batteries burst so near the Her
man immediately afterward, that he
was forced to fly for his own lines in
h hurry. Last night the enemy ob
servation towers and positions on
Montsee. were shelled heavily and a
Jieavy Are was directed against the
enemy lines this morning.
Cause Heavy Explosions.
At noon today the enemy opened a
lively Are on one of the American po
tations with .37 milimeter guns from
the ceWtery at Richecourt. The
American guns of the some cnliher
rame Into action and after they had
Hied fifty shells the Germans inn from
the position and took their guns with
Ihem. The American gun then shelled
the rilage of Lnhayville, where two
heavy explosions, apparently of muni
tion stores, were caused.
The German artillery directed most
rf its attention to dropping a few gas
rhclls into one or two towns within the
American lines and shelling a cross
roads known as Death's corner during
the day and night.
Last night American patrols entered
the German front lines at two points
,ut did not see a single enemy soldier,
although they hunted some time. An
other patrol remained in the enemy
wire entanglements all night hoping to
ambush an expected enemy pmty, but
it did not appear. A third patrol party
was discovered by the Germans, who
hurled hand grenades and forced the
Americans to withdraw. Still another
established contact with an enemy pa
trol and a few shots were exchanged.
The Americans came through ur.
m athed but it is not known whatihap
I'cntd to the Germans.
Irish Regiment Bombarded.
Many airplanes were "up until it br
:m to rain at noon. One airship from
the rear of the American line drove
off two boche machines after a thrill
ing battle in and out of the clouds.
Another Rlrpl.'ine was engaged against
a German when a second Gorman
Joined in the fight. A second friendly
airman came up to assist, but it was
too late for the airplane the Americans
hoped would be victorious fell to the
ground within the enemy lines.
On the sector east of Luneville the
Htlllcry continued active and a few
American patrols have reached the
em-mv line. One party encountered an
enemy patrol and forced the Germans
to withdraw after a sharp skirmish.
A certain Irish regiment was bom
barded heavily today with big shells.
Imports from both the t.uncville and
Toul sectors say that more German gas

Tho photograph abon was taken by a French; prisoner a German
prison cam) at Sennelager bei Paderliern, in November, 1914. W. .). Pren
dergast, on the left, brought the picture out, sewed in the lining of his cent.
He is a Chicagoan, a private in the Dublin Kusiliers. He has been honorably
discharged and has.returned to this country. "The two men tied to the post
are British prisoners of war," said Prendergast. , "They committed no of
fense whatever. They were tortured merely because they .were enemies
soldiers fighting Germany. I have been tied to that very pple for forty-right
hours myself. Notice the bowl on the ground in front of them. That was
'filled with soup and put there to torture the men, who had to stand forty- ,
eight hours without anything to eat, in hail, rain and 'show.. The wooden
shoes are given all prisoners and their own shoe are taken away from
them. The Germans also give. prisouersj
tied-iip men "are 'wearing. The officers in the foreground are' the German
camp commandant and his adjutant. This picture was taken before the
'starvation days' in Germany. I'm glad I'm not a prisoner in a German
ramp now!"
