TX DOUGHBOYS WENT OVER AS DAY BROKE After Exactly Four Hours of a Terrific Rain of Shells BAKER SAW OPENING OF AMERICAN DRIVE For First Time Pershing's Army Has Star Role in Op, jrations. With the American Army m Lorraine.?The Allied offensive on the western 1'ront for the first time ?s dominantly American, the French cooperating, and in a military sense -t is regarded as a continuing pha e of the battle which, b.gan early in the summer. Secretary Baker, with several other notables, witnes ed the beginning of the battle from the vantage point of a French fort close behind the middle of the line. It was precisely 1 o'clock of a rainy, moonless night when tin* -ingle dash of flame shot across the sky. It was followed by other flashes, which gradually merged into a sheet of white light on the horizon. Gradually there began to roll from this flame-lit area mighty thunder, amidst which could be distinguished now and then the crack and boom of German return shells bursting. The Heavens Aglow . The front over which the attack Wa.s made was so extended that tlm brilliant bands of vivid light soon stretched from far eastward to west ward lighting up tin4 clouds. Soon there began to arise star shells, signal rockets and flares thrown up by the enemy to betray the American should they leave their trenches suddenly to begin an infantry attack. T > this general color scheme there wa< soon added a reddish glow as ammunition dumps exploded and buildings set on fire behind the enemy lines began to blaze and an ammunition dump giving off this color explode i about 4 o'clock. The character of the artillery fire changed slightly, lessened a little in J intensity and German star shells j burst with more frequency as 5 o'clock approached as though the on'4- j my suspected that was the hour set for the infantry attack. More and more ammuntiion dumps explode I just before 5 the artillery bombardment suddenly resumed its origin: i intensity and as the . ky was beginning to he tinged wtih dawn it again took on a white look along the horizon. Went Over at Dawn Precisely at !"? o'clock the thunder of the guns ac< > mpanying the glare of light stopped and in the sudden silence the Americans went over the top. All along the lines could ho hoard the chattering of German machine guns and then suddenly the thunder commenced again when a barrage was laid down to piotoct the soldiers as they approached the German trenches. Into tlie buttle has been brought a ! the elements of modern warfare. While the artillery was playing its role the airmen and the tank crews worked ov r their machines preparatory to taking their part in the biggest "show" the Anvricans have given. There was no question of aerial supremacy or should hot be. I'lvnci planes and French airm? n supp! mentcd the American fore s and daylight saw them already in operation. It rained in the night and the enr'y hours of the morning, but did not a 'ford the best opportunity for the aviators, but notwithstanding* the niist, the squadron appealed with the dawn, ready for observation of the de fense and for offensive combat. Thrusting Into the Side There was a high wind during* the day, but the balloons were able to remain ut) for observation. One Ameri can balloon broke away and drifted eastward. One of the (Io n an balloons was aloft near St. Mibiel. but it remained up only about live minutes. The smoke screen the Am rieun gunners place about Mi ntsor appears to have been successful in pi\ venting the enemy observation fron that commanding point. While the heavy attack ? were b ing made on the north and sout lines of St. Mihiel sector, a fore around the point of the angle \va inaugurating a scrie of r?i ! , rushing far into ti e sides of V G i-.\ : body. The strength of the Germans is not known, but it is certain there j are at least seven divisions in the salient. It has been let rned that the enemy had collected a quantity of stores in the sector and will doubt - i less attempt to remove them. The front under attack was about 45 miles in length. The French were in the line at allotted points, but the distribution of the forces was such that wherever the Germans turned they faced American troops. Seven German Divisions Just how much the Germans were surprised by the offensive in a sector so 1 onir iimrt ivo is linrort j?in It seems not improbable, however, that I they had noticed the indications giv- | en for many days past that some new j plan was being* adopted. The mobili-1 zation of the big force was accomp-; lished, however, almost wholly in night marches, the men slipping from ! other sectors into positions in front j of the enemy here, oftentimes with-j out even the population of the dis-| tricts through which they passed be-! ing aware of the movement. The guns that opened the artillery preparations at 1 o'clock continued for four hours to hammer the Germans, not alone their nearby po:tions, hut almost every erossioads village and t >wn within range. Tim ; !*oads over which the enemy might I bring up reinforcements or retreat! were broken up with high ex; lo ive . I The artillery attack was carefully j planned, every battery commanding I having painstakingly rogistero 1 1 ng in advance the objectives of his gun . j The full effect of the tcnific bombardment could not be boservcd, but 1he)*e is little doubt that it had an immense effect in interfering with the defensive work of the big Germ; n force in the salient. o l ? l a m r\ r n r i 11 ati irri WUIMULrtr UL b I U I" I" I LiFT OUT YOUR CORNS I Apply a few drops then lift: corns or calluses off with fingers?no pain.
