A case in points found in the &C

of the American Red Cross commits

Non-employment for them meant
added suffering. The saws which the
employers needed are made only in
market is closed, of course, inc the
mill owners for some reason had been
unable to get the saws shipped from

The American Red Cross commits

wrote to the headquarters in Wash

Reuters Report

American Forces on the Lorraine
Front, Sept. Neutrality-suspicious.
and American forces this morning
launched an attack against the Ger
man positions on both sides Of the
ST. Mihiel salient.
The weather Is fine. The attack
made by the French and the Ameri-
cans was a most daring n and SO
far has been successful.
The attack was preceded by a bar
rage lasting four hours. The attack
on the southern side Of the st. Mihiel
salient was made along a distance Of
twelve miles. If
The attack on the western side was
on a front Of eight miles.
There has been a great c~oncentra-
ton of Franco-American artillery and
Entente airplanes r operating in
large numbers.
The Germans now are falling back
on the fronts On each side of the st.
Mihiel salient.
Though undoubtedly suspicious of
the intentions of the Americans in
this region. the Germans were un-,
aware at the time and the direction Of
the attack.
The American troops are all in
tensely eager and are fighting mag
nifcently.

Pershing's New Army.

Washington, Sept. 12.-With French
and American troops striking OF a
wide front south and east of Verdun
today, the greatest battle, perhaps the
decisive struggle of the war may have
begun. Early reports show that this
first employment of General PERISH
ing's new army is or a wide front, the
joint French and American thrust
covering 20 miles.
Apparently the initial effort is to
force the enemy out of the st. Mihiel
The American troops ave been hold
ing the front along the southern and
eastern sides Of the salient. Their
lines, according to the last informa-
ton available here, included the point
where the front crosses the Moselle
river. The course of that river is the
direct road to Metz, which it has been
expected here would be the objective
of the first phase of any attack by
Pershing's men in this region.
Many officers here believe Marshal
Foch has now struck the blow he has
had in preparation ever since he de-
army from the fighting until the stage
was set for a decisive action. The
movement planned, however, may not
develop to its full extent for several
days.
According to the latest reports
noted here, American divisions known
to be in the positions from which the
attack has been launched, included
the veteran first n second regular
divisions, which were the first Ameri-
car units to get into action in France;
the s9th national army, composed of
Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Ne
hrosLo Coloro1o Noup MoYicn orA
Arizona troops. and the Sand national
army. composed Of Georgia, Alabama
and Tennessee troops, with the 37th'
national guard, composed of Ohio
troops, further to the east on the
front opposite Nancy.
General Pershing has been concen-
trating his army for some weeks in
this general region. however. and a
complete shift in the divisional align
troops went over the top this morn
ing
To the west, along the front south
Of Verdun, where the French line
stands parallel to the Meuse, the
French, it appears, are driving ahead
to pinch the enemy out of the salient.
The French operations form n jaw
of the greater pincer movement, Of
which the American thrust towards
Metz evidently is the cutting edge.
Success for the Americans would
mean abandonment by the Germans
of all territory in the salient and with
it the last possibility Of thanking the
fortress of Verdun.
1t is strongly believed by officials
here that it is only the prelude to a
great effort to turn the whole German
line and possibly to cut so deeply into
his positions along the Verdun front
that he might be compelled to aban-
don much territory in Alsace and
Lorraine.
