WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Sept. 81
(Night) Struggling forward through,
the mud and water over roads which
heavy rains have converted into quag-
mlres, tho American guns reached their
new positions almost one by one early
this morning and during the day.
Among those deserving of the great
est credit are the artilIerymen, who
served their guns incessantly for
twelve hours while the troops moved
forward, and who then pulled their
heavy pieces on to the roads to adj
vance behind the troops.
The retreating enemy blew up virtu-
ally every bridge and culvert, mined
the roads and placed all obstacles in
the way of the artillery's advance. The
rains aided him. When the guns began
to reach the ground which the enemy
had evacuated the heavy pieces begged
down. Tie horses and mules f1oundered
IN the mud and it required superhuman
efforts to eXtricate them.
The enemy cannon, which had
reached positions of comparative safe
ty also began a harassng fire, which
added to the difficulties. But the bat
tie of the mud was won with rlorv bv
the artillerymen to-day, and tonight
they are pouring their shells into the
enemy again by the thousands.
American engineers took prominent
part in the battle. Facing every diff
Guilty possible, including the transpor-
tation forward of bridge and road
building material, they faced the task
like ants and literally made roads and
bridges ahead of the guns, which the
wheels of the heavy weapons DESTROYED
as fast as they were built.
A thousand men with shovels and nick
lined every roadway, digging, filling in
and struggling to help the big guns
forward throughout all of THURSDAY
night in the pouring rain and dark
ness. They faced heavy shellfire
without murmur where the enemy
tried to hold back the American food
with steel and high explosive. They
are still working tonight, though the
guns have passed and the battle con-
tinues.
Troops Well Concentrated
Concentration of troops for the Amer
lean assault Thursday morning was
cleverly accomplished. Thousands of
motor trucks, each carrying twenty
men, were seen converging on various
sectors of the new battle area durin
the forty-eight hours preceding the
start of the assault The trucks went
whizzing past given points with the
ncse of one at the tail of another
