The Germans put up stiff resist ance and their machine guns and light artillery kept up a fierce fire against the advancing troops, but nothing daunted, the Americans con- tinued to advance without a hitch and absolutely according to the plan of action laid out.
 The air squadrons did good work and considerably hampered the Huns by spirited attacks on their trenches.
 The attack was led by the troops from Pennsylvania Kansas and Missouri, who completely surprised the Germans by the suddenness of their attack. The enemy was quite unable to stem the rush of the Americans, who hurled the boches back with great slaughter and gain ed all of their objectives.
 In the course of the brilliantly conducted advance and attack, the Americans captured the towns of Malancourt, Mont Faucon, Cuisy, Dannevoux and several other inn portant town and positions which the despatches did not mention.
 Their advance was so rapid that no time was lost in counting the number of heavy guns whiih fell into their hands.
