The base consists Of land, buildings,

Mr.. Palmer said Germany considered
that the marine plant admitted of pos

building commanding the harbor is of
reinforced concrete and the plaza in

AMERICAN GENERAL AIMS TO
CLOSE MONTH OF ST.
MiHIEL SALIENT.
THIRD GREAT ALLIED ARMY
Washington Officials Are GratIf7ed
That Sixteen Months of Vast
Effort Have Resulted In
Great Yankee Force.

Washington, Sept. 13. - Sixteen
months of vast war effort by the
United States reached its first goal
when General Pershing's forces struck
their first Independent blow in France
against the German army. es
Reports show that success was
meeting the American commanders
effort to fling the enemy out of the
sharp salient thrust in behind the
fortress of Verdun in the first year
of the war.
Third Great Allied Army.
But of even greater significance to
government officials was the fact that
the all-American attack meant that
the months Of ceaseless toll and effort
have now brought forth a third great
organized army, backed by it's own
supplies and millions more soldiers if
needed, which has taken it's place be-
sides the French and British armies
and is striking for decisive victory for
democratic ideals.
General March, chief of staff, and
his officers were gathered about the
great war maps, tracing, out the lines
of the conflict from press accounts as
they were received.
President Wilson visited acting Sec
retary Crowell and there is no doubt
that he was told just what General
Pershing had accomplished and what
might be expected to develop from
this blow.
Uses Foch's Pincer Tactics.
First reports were vague. They told
merely that the American army had
launched an attack around the st.
Mihiel salient, the only sharp thrust
toward the heart of France that re-
mained to the German leaders to show
for their offensive efforts since the
war began. 1t seemed possible that
the objective of the attack was Metz,
just beyond the German border on the
Moselle river.
Later accounts made it clear, how
ever, that for his first blow General
Pershing had determined to employ
the pincer tactics Marshal Foch has
now used with repeated success in
hurting the foe back from the Marne
and out of the Picardy and Flanders
salients. The chance lay ready to
the American leaders hand.
The American attack, as it now
shapes up, is a major action, it is said,
and there is no doubt that the strong
est American forces yet employed are
engaged. Possibly quarter Of mil
lion American troops either are in &C.
tion or in close reserve. #

Sept. 13. - Just before the British

SLOWER THAN CITY COUSIN
Country Youngster in Army Found to Be Possessed of Much Less
 initiative and Speed.

American officers are making pre- ciSely the same comment as to the city boy versus the country boy that the British officers made when the first green regiment came to the continent. says q correspondent in France. The country boy is a heavier stronger, but also slower lad than his city cousin.
 City life sharpens the wits" is the British conclusion. 'The city boys adapt themselves to the devilish life more rapidly than the country boys do. They are just as hardy, too and soon pick up the little outdoor tricks that so many country boys have learn ed on hunting and fishing trips. The city youngster has more initiative and more speed"
 ''Is he game" I asked.
 "There are no gamer regiments in the British army than the cockneys, :" was the reply.
 Americans find the country boy needs more watching and caring for than the recruit from the city. His morale and behavior are far better. but he does not adapt himself quickly to his new environment.
