UlflU TDIDIITET TH IIIVAII MIUU I L. I U ARMY RANK AND FILE Units Engaged in the Fighting Not Identified, But Staff Is. I Washington, Sept. 15. ? Elimination of the St. Mihiel salient by the lirst big Ameiican offensive and the consequent reduction of that sector by 22 miles, Gencrnal March said toil 'V, is of extreme importance in that j it gives the allies a much better base} "for future olfen. ive operations." , Gen. March paid high tribute to! the American forces which in less j than two flays wiped out this salient,! tlif nni'vnU'Act nnrf ?v?/\efr anmilov mi the entire western front. The open.-1 lions there, ho said, not only wrro aj tribute to the work of the sta.'V but to the individual soldier. "It's hot stud", he added warmly:" j No report has yet come from (inn. Pershing identifying* any inndivid- j ual unit which participated in the advance. General March, however, announced the composition of the staff which under General Pershing, planned and executed the move- ! mcnt. This staff is entirely different I from the general staff of* the American expeditionary forces which remained in its entirety at the exped i tiona ry hea dquarters. General March pointed out. in connection with the German claim that the St. Mihiel salient had been abandoned voluntarily, that no mention was made by the Germans of the big loss of nnsonors Capture of the salient was accomplished by quick sharp blows on both flanks, Gen. March explained. The American troops advanced across a difficult U rrain consisting of densely ( wooded hills intersected by numerous i rt vines. i To Exert .Full Strength. i General March laid particular em- ! phasis on the determiantion of the f United States to continue to exert its whole strength against the Qermans. He referred to recent publications ( which, he said, intimated that Amor- 1 ic*\ was not going through with the i war despite the enlarged military , I program. This suggestion, he de-'c c'ared "was preposterous in its falsity." It seems incredible, tlm chief of. staff said, that such propaganda could gain attention at a time when j the war department had just se ured ; increased age limits for the draft i and was about to ask an additional | $7,000,000,000 for th? use of the mili-j tary establishment during th.e pro- ! sent year.

Price 25c mwvmrn AMERICAN ARMY IS RUNNING THE HUNS First American Army Goes Into Action Uunder General Pershing. FIRST BIG THRUST GAINS SOME GROUND Attack Carries Element of Surprise to Unsuspecting German Armies The American first army under command of General Pershing went into action against the Germans on a 20 mile front on the famous St. Mihiol salient in Lorraine which had stood a sharp wedge in the French line southeast of Verdun since tho commencement of the war. This \l'?l o l\/-? C ? % 4 . %.,v .4 ... 1 L 1 ' * " ^ ?i.- uu i in*-ri'M illg IICWS SOU I IO lIl'S country by tho last week-end. In tho preliminary thrust ground was gained on both sides ot' tho triangle and also at its apex at St. Mihiol and at last accounts tho Americans, with whom some French troops are biigaded, were fast swooping across tho salient in an effort to close the mouth of the big pocket before the Ciermans can extricate themselves from the perilous position they are in as a result of the suddenness of the blow and the element of surprise it carried with it. Although the advance of the Americans was swift and sure and gains in excess of four miles on the southern side of the. battle area were made, the cavalry far outstripped I the tanks and foot men and was last reported operating along the railroad near Vigneulles almost in the center j of the salient and some ten miles northwest of St. Mihiel and also j northwest of Pont-a-Mausson, I through the forests and along the j railway line running northward to Metz, the great German fortress, the southern outer fortifications of which I are less than ten miles distant. Towns Fall in Dash. , Thiaucourt, Bouillouville, Pannes and several other towns in the south were captured in the initial dash, while on the west at the northern edge of the pocket, the village of Comb res was captured and the environs of Dammartin-la-Montagne were reached. To the south everywhere the Americans penetrated into i the heights of the Mouse and the ; French fought their way into the outskirts of St. Mihiel. Unofficial reports are to the effect that the town has been recaptured by the French. The fighting front at the commencement of the battle aggregated 'dO miles?eight miles on the western ide and 12 miles on the southern side. The fighting was preceded by 1 an extremely heavy artillery bomi ardmcnl and the troops and tanks advanced under the barrage, which v.as carried oir. with mathematical precision. From the war maps it would seem almost impos? ibio for the Germans to evacuate the salient, as they apparently are trying to do, without huge losses in men and material. The first reports show that the Ahum ieans took TOO prisoners in tho first stages of the battle and had suffered remarkably small casualties. Will Straighten Line. The strategy of Marshal Koch in the present maneuver can not be fore seen except that it has a * the first objective the levelling of the St. Mihiel sector and the straightening of the allied line from the region of Ver dun eastward. The obliteration of the salient would be necessary before a direct thrust toward German territory from this region would be possible. Whether Marshal Koch has in view a campaign up the Mouse- Valley or Metz and the Moselle Valley in mind, remains to be seen. Tt?Spirt(hot--lS. I m- ^ ^ |BAk. i j MBMMHritfipiMMBS *
