AMERICANS ADVANCE
By Webb Miller

Omitted Press staff correspondent
With the American Armies in France
Sept, 10.-Americans have advanced
in local attacks against lie Petite Mon
tagne table land. (La Petite Montague
a fortified height on the American
lines, where they drop down from the
Aisne to the Vesle, has seriously I'M
peded our troops advance on their
right flank)
After a strong bombardment Of the
hill with the heaviest fire eoncentrat-
ed on the La Petite plateau, the Am
orleans launched their assaults Monday
morning. The fighting was still contin-
uing Monday night. Reports from the
battlefield said the Yankees assault
was directed toward the table land.
Our in'2ntry went forward in small
groups, filr1ring in between the enemy
machine gun nests which were thickly
SO ttered through the wooded ravines.
The Americans picked off German snip
ers and gun crews one by one. When
the last word was received, the Ameri-
cans were approaching the foot of the
plateau and working in around the
sides of the table land.
The advance was most difficult ow-
ing to the large number Of machine
gun nests and isolated snipers who fir
ed upon our men.
Despite this resistance, good progress
had been reported by evening. A num-
Der of machine gun squads were wiped
out when the Germans fought back
with determination from hidden em-
placements.
The crest Of La Petite Montague is
infested with machine gun nests be
hind strong barbed wire, which Ameri-
can guns have been methodically pound
ing. Some prisoners and machine guns
were taken during Monday and sent
to the rear.
On Sunday night during pitch dark
ness, our troops sifted in between the
outlying nests, killed or drove off the
crews and then returned to their own
lines. simultaneously the French on our
right advanced in cooperation with us.
Determination of the enemy to hold
their positions on top of the plateau
and the strength Of these positions is
shown by the fact that the Germans
have Is heavy machine guns and over
score of light ones ON the table land
alone. As machine guns on fringes of
the heights are gradually cleaned out,
the Americans are working up the low
er slopes of the system of strongly de-
Tended plateaus.

Local Attacks Between

With the American Armies in France
Sept. l0.-In the Woevre the German
artillery fire has increased to the in-
tensity of barrage. This is the only
activity on this part of the front, ex-
cept for patrOlling encounters in AL
saee-Lorraine. All the German raiders
were driven off.
American negroes recently held an
important sector in the Vosges swear
ing to get revenge for German barbar-
tiles during August. From refugees our
patrols learned the Germans fear the
negroes as their officers have told the
men the American eolored troops al
ways cut off their prisoners ears.
The negroes first suffered from Ger
man trickery when a segeant and three
prlyates were on outpost duty and sew
eral Germans arose immediately in
front of them, crying "kamerad!" {"
The negroes did not shoot, thinking
the boehes were sincere, whereupon the
Huns threw hand grenades 4hapa-
F7szzl1Trg one and Wdunding another. The
tswo remaining drove off the Germans.
AS result of this trickery the negroes
are full of the spirit of revenge.

LORD Miner SAYS
MORE TROOPS NEEDED
Everything Going Well But
There Should Be No
Stacking Of Effort

London, Sept. 10.-Urging the neces
sity of continuing the rushing of Am
erican troops to France, Lord Miner,
British minister of war, in reply to an
inquiry today, wrote the following letter
to the United Press correspondent:
"You tell me that in certain circles
in the United States the vie current
that our recent successes on tn, western
front have made the necessity less ur-
gent of hurrying over American troops
to France and that Americas splendid
war effort can now proceed at more
Ileisurely pace.
II quite understand how this view
may be held, but 1 profoundly disagree
with it. 1t seems to me that, OH the
contrary, the morale of our recent sue
cesses is just the opposite. The remark
able achievement of the allies since
July 1S is of first importance, for it
shows that We can win the war. But
most assuredly we will not win the war
if We get the idea that we can afford
to slacken our effort. This applies to
every allied nation. 1t is the duty Of
the European allies to abate nothing of
their energy and, indeed, to strive as if
America were not behind them.
"Ameriea s strcngth-great as it is
can only be relied upon to bring about
a decision if it is added TO the forces
of the European allies and not substi-
tuted for them
II do not think l could name the
reasons why our pressure, both military
and economic, must not be abated for
one instant.
From military standpoint of view,
the successes are Of no value unless they
are followed up, and to reap the fruits
Of them the enemy must be given no
rest. Weakening of the civilian, as well
as his military morale depends upon
unceasing pressure.
"Again we cannot permst Germany
to recruit her strength by exploiting her
occupied territory in the east and the
only way of preventing such recruit
ment is to allow her no leisure. Lastly,
it is Of vital Importance to allied bel
lgerents to bring the war to an end at
the earliest possible date, with view
to conserving a reasonable balance of
resources for the work of reconstruc-
tioa.

Result Of Spring Offensive
Wiped Out Next Move Is

By William Phillip Himms.
lUnlted Press sac Correspondenl

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
Paris, Sept. l0.-once again the allies
stand face to face with the Germans
on almost the identical lines where they
stood throughout the winter, awaiting
the unloosening of the great Teutomc
offensive. Once again, as it was last
March, each day is a day Of waiting and
suspense and "what will tomorrow
bring9"
Today the British, French and Ameri-
cans are making their last adjustments
in frent Of the Hindenburg line.
Til British menace Armenteres, Lens
Douai. and Cambria, while the French
threaten st. Quentin, LaFele, St. Co.
balm and Loan. Will the allies keep up
their drive and will the Germans at
tempt to hold their present positions? +?
The next sixty days must tell the tale.
After that General Winter takes charge
of operations.
Foch continues in his role Of a hui
man enigma. The only hint given as
to his intentions was when he said the
allies offensive would not stop until
victory had been won. This statement
is elastic, as he probably intended it
to be. II may mean an intense attack.

RUNOR GENERALS
HA|G AND PERSH|NG
MAY BE REMOVED
Washington Opinion Is That
Pershing RurnOr Has No
Foundation In Fact
By Carl D. Groat,
Omitted Press staff correspondent.)

(Unlted PfesS staff correspondent
Washington, Sept. 1O.-Just a brief
line from Lord Northcliffe's paper
limiting at shift in the British army
command and perhaps in the American,
has caused broad speculation here.
But as far as it was possible to
ascertain today, there is 10 present
prospect of removing General Pershing
from leadership of the A. E. F. Of
ficials who should know said they
doubted it would happen now and af-
firmed that they had heard no dis
cussion thereof.
Others said that there is no friction
between Pershing and Chief of Staff
March, who is the ranking officer of
the whole army organization.
From time to time there have been
rumors of difficulty between the two
men. But these differences are char
acterized as purely honest differences
of opinion without the semblance of a
split or a tinge of army politics about
them.
There is strong feeling that German
propaganda may be behind reeurrent
rumors that Secretary Baker is to bt
removed or elegated to some Other
position than his present one.
The war department has semi-offi
cially spiked the latter story with the
statement that his stay will probably
not be longer than his first journey
While no actual official statement
was forthcoming as to Pershing, off
cials on the inside did their utmost tC
discourage the story.
Lord Northcliffe limited that Haig
would ask leave of absence and might
be replaced by General Wilson. At the
same time he intimated that there
might be a change in the American com
mana as there had been in the Frencl
and ltalIan.
