No Chance or the first time since the Amerl i cans had been ordered to advance Into enemy held territory there was assur ance that they would encounter no hos tility The Intelligence' department which has never censed to function had accurately reported that the Ger mans were carrying out their agree ment of evacuation and there was evi dent the belief both by officers and men that no trap was awaiting them No chances were taken however The engineers were the second units to press forward and they carefully began their work of looking out for mines and tainted water Every ob stacle was

But It was in such order that it might be quickly transformed Into battle army Every brigade was covered hy a regiment of tho heavier artillery following close behind The flanks of the ad vancing
