AMERICANS TRIBUTE
EXPRESS NO SURPRISE AT MAS

AMERICAN SOLDIERS.
ALL EXPECTATIONS REALIZED
Times Says Pershing Shattered Mon
strous Web of German Lies Which
Sustained Pretense Of Americas
Military Effectiveness.

London. - Chief place is given IN
London newspapers to the American
achievements in the st. Mihiel sector.
Both in the news and the editorial
columns hearty tributes are given to
the thOrOughness with which the ope-
ratiOns were completed, a thorough
ness which is regarded as showing
that Gen. Pershing and his staff made
preparations beforehand and used
great care at the same time.
No surprise is implied that the
American should have succeeded SO
well On the contrary, the newspa-
pers concur that what happened was
only what might have been expected
from the fighting qualities the Ameri-
cans displayed when they fought as
units under French and British com-
mands.
Nothing like firsthand technical
account of the fattening of the sa
lient had reached London up to this
morning and such indaquate detailed
stories as are to hand do not carry
the operations further than Thursday
evening.
The Daily Telegraph, after congrat-
ulating the Americans on their feat
of arms-a real triumph accomplished
in mastery STYLE" says:
The explanations offered in the
German cOmmunique are childish"
The Daily Mail, under the headline,
America Has Made Good" discussed
the value Of removal of the salient.
The newspaper says:
Gen. Pershing is breaking into 4
perfect web of railways which has
been if priceless Importance to Gen.
Ludendorff for maneuvering. Here, il

reached this heel, but by threatening
it they have forced the Germans 10
concentrate for it's defense. While the
stroke menaces the enemy's commu-
nications 1t opens the way for other
American attacks on a still larger
scale. The enemy also has lost the
equivalent of two divisions in prison
ers. killed and wounded"
The Daily Chronicle says:
Gen. Pershing's brave troops de-
serve congratulations on their very
skillful and efficient piece of work.
The United States may well be proud
of the manner in which it's young
army compOrted itself in the first in
dependent offensive"
The Times records the belief that
the final return Of prisoners will con-
siderably exceed the number given In
the official statement, and says:
More was destroyed at st. Mihial
than a German salient Gen. Persl-
ing shattered at a blow the monstrous
web of lines which sustained the pre-
tense that the immense weight and
almost illimitable resources of the
United States would be Of little or no
account on the European field of war.
He has shown that the Americans are
AS quick and apt to learn the art Of
war as they have been to develop the
pursuits Of peace"
