Montfaucon:S Capture PROBES

which they were opposed and the

The claim of the Germans that they

The impression the Germans seek to
give that the town was given up

Yankees Fight Duel to Finish
In the Dark Argonne Forest

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE. Sunday. September 20
(Reuters).-Fightin along the new
front northwest of Verdun has set
tied down to the dreary business to
which the machine gun has reduced
modern warfare. Progress Is being
measured by the laborious reduction
of small points which are held by
small groups of men. but able to par
alyze forces out Of all proportion to
their fighting value.
From a dramatic viewpoint the
greatest fighting has taken place in
the Argonne forest, where it has re-
sembled duel fought to the finish in
a dark room. The density of the for
est is complicated by the strangeness
of the ground. which resembles moth
ing so much as the backbone and ribs
of a fiat fish with the ribs on one side
shortened to half their length and the
backbone running north and south.
These ribs represent series of ridges
ously steep on the eastern side. but
less abrupt and longer farther west.
The ravines follow one another in
ceaseless succession along the back
bone for about twenty-five miles. To
force such a position would be Suffi-
ciently difficult if it had been in the
enemy hands only short time. but
much harder since he has been in pos
session Of it for years.

An examination of one section Of the

Gouraud is attacking in the Cham

Gen. Ludendorff, feeling uneasy. rein.
forced the defenders with two Aol
three divisions. After two days
fighting he threw in ten moro divE
sions. These twelve or thirteen divi>
sions have been used up on front Of
twenty-five miles only. From this
the speed at which the German
strength is being whitfield away may
easily be calculated.
The soberest and most conservative
observers here consider that yester.
day marked the first step in the deci-
sive phase of the war. The Belgiana
