A significant American bulletin announced last Sunday that the American

troops in Lorraine had captured the village of Frapelle, on the road six miles east of St. Di6. The Lorraine sector of the Vosges front has long been regarded by the enemy as a " rest-cure" for battered divisions. It looks as if the Americans mean to make things lively in this forgotten corner of the battle-line, which is not so very far from Metz or Strasbourg.
