A BIRTHDAY PARTY"

Friday, September 13 was "Black Jack" Pershing's birthday. One day in advance of his birthday the Yam kee troops launched surprise birth day party in their generals honor. In fact they were so eager to carry out the celebration in grand style, they were an hour ahead of schedule time in arriving at certain objectives or goals, set by the leaders in the Lor- raine sectors.
 General Pershing was broadly sur. prised himself but after accertainine the Americans true feelings abou, the matter, he personnaly gave them consent "that they go as far as they like" The Yankee lads were not slow in taking advantage of the circum- stances.
 It was one grand big celebration The dumfounded Germans did not know what had broken loose. They did not have time to recover theil bearings before the Americans were on them again. Quite a few about eight thousand of them decided tc "stay for the party"
 The Americans on all sides of the St. Mihiel pocket began closing in the sides of the pocket and the Boches gasped for breath. This big birth day party promises to be of quite q long duration.
