Foch. We heard that in this offensive
the French and English did not
attack with great zest?the mist and
the tanks aided them greatly?but
the fresh American troops attacked
fiercely. On August S I made this
notation: "I have just received word
that there are 2S American divisions
in France, of which 15 are at the
front. They are training more im
England. I did not count upon such
quick and extensive work. They are
becoming dangerous."
A word about the American negroes.
The Xinetv-Third Division,
made up of colored men, was opposed
to me. Later these negroes
were distributed by brigades among
French divisions. We Germans felt,
as white men, that the use of colored
troops against us was reprehensible
and dangerous for the white races of
tlie whole world. But it must be admitted
that the American negro is
different from the Senegalese negro
or the Moroccan. The American government
probably had no choice but
to use the black men. since they had
full rights of citizenship over there.
The Triangle of St. Mihiel
Before the attack on the St. iMihiel
triangle, the American troops had
been greatly strengthened. Their
divisions had been welded together
into an army. By the beginning of September
we learned of the formation
of an independent Pershing American
Army, which was lying between
the Second and Eighth French
Armies.
American divisions had fought
/honorably in the big battles which
ended with the failure of our offensive
at the Marne in July and August.
It was an obvious suggestion to followr
up this gradual development
with some big feat, accomplished exclusively
or largely by American
troops under their own supreme command.
An opportunity offered itself
at St. Mihiel which had long been
known.
Our position between the Meuse
and the well-known height of Combre,
southeast of Verdun, looked like
an outstanding nose. It !had taken
this formation after the first battle
in the summer of 1914, and had been
retained, fortified and honored as the
field of many single combats.
The foremost part of this triangle,
in front of our line of communication
with the Moselle and our position
at Verdun, projected not less than
25 kilometers (15 1-4 miles). It extended
to St. Mihiel, at the bridgehead
on the other side of the Meuse.
The side lines of the triangle, not
counting indentations, were about 70
kilometers (44 1-2 miles) long. We
had seven divisions that occupied this
line, but they were reduced in number,
and among them were three of
the militia and one Austrian division.
The peril of this faulty triangle
had always been patent to us. It lent
itself to attack on all sides. We had
i-onoatodiv Hispusspd the Question of
giving up this triangle. The chief
in command agreed with me that no
big battle in this territory was permissible.
Taken by Snrpt-ise by Yanks.
But, while we waited, the crisis
came on apace. We never had time to
carry off the materials we had gath- .
ered during an occupation of several
years. On the other side lay the consideration
that the yielding of a position
held for years would be interpreted
as a sign of weakness. Naturally
we disregarded such consideration
in other parts of the theater of
war as difficult.
There had been indications that
something was brewing on the other
side, but we were not certain as to
which direction the attack might
take. We were infc_med that the
objective of the Americans was Metz
and the territory east of that fortress,
which would threaten our communication
with the rear.
The center of the enemy rear guard
and communications was located on
^he southern side of the triangle,
1 - - - ^
wane 011 me uununcsi. smc c>ci,
thing was quiet indicating that danger
in the latter quarter was remote.
Then from foreign sources came the
news that the American attack had
"been postponed?that the army was
not yet ready for a big offensive
movement.
We were surprised, therefore,
when, on September 12, a concentrated
attack was launched against
the triangle. It was soon demonstrated
that this was not a partial attack.
but the execution of a great
concentrated drive. The order to retire,
which I gave on my own responsibility,
but too late, could not
prevent the loss of many troops and
much material which had to be left
behind.
The first deep advance took place
% on the southern side and was directed
against two of our divisions, extending
some 23 kilometers (14 1-2
miles).
Against the front covered by this
attack, nine or ten American divisions
were led into battle, six being half in
reserve. The two divisions which I
had as reserve behind the southern
front could not succeed in turning
the tide. The artillery and infantry
collaborated better than ever, hut
there was little skill in profiting by
the advance.
The American flyers made themselve
very disagreeable. We learned
that S00 of them were active at the
front.
Our units retired to the IMiliiel
position in order, although with
losses. All of the retiring divisions
except one.Nthat was scattered .loiie
whidh helcl ?klsace-bonraine.g SfeiJ)
were still in the front lines. Although
our retirement had been effected in
good order, the enemy naturally considered
it as forced.
I have experienced a good many
things in the five years of war and
have not been poor in successes, but
I must count the 12th of September
among my few black days.
South Carolina Asparagus vs. The
California Variety.
It is not known generally throughout
this section that Augusta has as
its neighbor across the river in South
Carolina a great and growing asparagus
section, one which ship9 vast
quantities of this delicious vegetable
to the Northern markets and which
brings into the great section where j
asparagus thrives probably a quarter j
of a million dollars annually. We are;
fairly conversant with the fact that;
asparagus of high quality growers;
about Williston, Trenton, Johnston,;
Hattieville and a few other communi-j
ties, but few probably realize the im-j
mense importance of the industry. J
Well, the South Carolina Asparagus
Growers Association this year ship-j
ped 150 cars at an average price of
$1,000 per car and in addition there
are large independent growers. Mr.
Brabham, of Hattieville, is the largest
grower in the state and he is not
a member of the association.
The Asparagus Growers Association
not only ship vast quantities as
stated, but have a cannery which provides
for the crop when the prices at
the end of the season seem too low to
be acceptable to the grower. The cannot
crrPAn asDarasrus from the Willis
ton plant of the association is said to
be a much superior product to the
California asparagus, and sells for
less. In other worlds, according to
IMr. W. E. Prothro, cashier of the
Bank of Williston, and an asparagus
grower himself, just as the people of
the county have found that a Georgia
peach is superior to a California
peach, so are they finding that South
Carolina asparagus is superior to
California asparagus. The South
Carolina asparagus is sold at a price
which can cause it to retail for less
than California by fifteen cents per
can and Mr. Prothro is anxious for it
to be introduced on the Augusta market.
There is every reason why Augusta
should receive South Carolina asparagus
with a warm welcome, and
buy it in order to show our splendid
Carolina neighbors that we are with
them in their effort to make their
section a prosperous one, through a
utilization of their entire crop instead
of having the usual waste. There
shouM be a cannery in every peach
growing community that makes perishable
products, so that when the
vegetables or fruits cannot be sold at
a profit when harvested, or when too
ripe for shipment, they can be canned.
And since it is claimed that South
Carolina asparagus is superior 10
California asparagus there is every
reason why we should buy asparagus
from Williston instead of from southern
California city.
We can best build up our own section
by patronizing home industry
and we all know that the way to build
up Augusta is to trade in Augusta.
We cannot starve our own stores arid
our own industries and by from somewhere
else and expect to prosper as
a community and the same is true
in regard to products of the garden,
orchard and farm. If we buy South
Carolina asparagus then the people of
Williston have more money to spend J
with Augusta merchants, and if we J
co-operate with the splendid community
of Williston and the other live
communities in South Carolina then
we will earn their lasting friendship
and gratitude. We hope every Augustan
will try out South Carolina asparagus
and they say one trial is suf
