Elimination of Salient Fore
runner to Bigger Victories
in War; Says March
HUNS ARE FORCED OUT
Falsity of Voluntary Aban-
donment Shown by Cap
ture of Prisoners
BY Associated Press

Washington, Sept. 14.-Elimina- :
ton of the St. Mihiel salient by the
first big American offensive and the
consequent reduction of that sector
by twenty-five miles, General March
said to-day, is of extreme importance
in that it gives the Allies a much
better base for future offensive
operations
Pays Tribute to Fighters
General March paid high tribute
TO the American forces which in less
than two days wiped out this salient,
the narrowest and most angular on
the entire western front. The oper-
ations there, he said, not only were
tribute to the work of the staff but
to the individual soldier.
It's hot stuff" he added warmly
No report has yet come from Cen
eral Pershing Identifying any indi-
vidual unit which participated in the
advance. General March, however,
announced the composition of the
staff which, under General Pershing
planned and executed the movement.
This staff is entirely different from
the general staff of the American
EXpeditionary Forces which re-
mained in it's entirety at the expe-
dictionary headquarters.
General March pointed out in con-
nection with the German claim that
the st. Mihiel salient had been
abandoned voluntarily that no men,
ton was made by the Germans of
! the big loss of prisoners.
Capture of the salient was accom-
plished by quick. sharp blows on
both flanks. General March explain
ed. The American troops advanced
across n difficult terrain. consisting
of densely wooded hills intersected
by numerous ravines.
Nation Against Hun to End
General March laid particular en-
phasis on the determination of the
United States to continue to exert it's
whole strength against the Germans.
He referred to recent publications
which, he said, intimated America
was not going through with the war
despite the enlarged military pro-
gram. This suggestion, he declared,
was "preposterouS in its falsity."
Proofs of u. $. Determination
1t seemed increditable. the chief of
staff said, that such propaganda
could gain attention at a time when
the War Department had just Sc
cured increased age limits for the
draft and was about to ask an ad-
ditional seven billion dollars for the
use of the military establishment
during the present year.
All reports from American forces
at the front indicated high spirits
and enthusiasm throughout the
whole army. General March said the
American soldier quickly became
imbued with this spirit as soon as
he landed if he did not possess it
before.
