the big drive launched this morning
by Americans and French south and
east of Nerdun many officers here
believe Marshal Foch now has
struck the blow he has had in pro-
hibition ever since he determined to
withhold the bulk OF the American
army from the fighting until the
stage was set ior decisive action. The
movement planned. however. may
not develop to its full extent for sew
eral days.
According to the last reports
noted here. American divisions
known to be in the positions from
which the attack has been launched,
included the veteran First and Sec
ond regular divisions which were
the first American units to get into
action in France, the Eighty-ninth

to turn the whole German line and
possibly to cut so deeply into his

that he might be compelled to aban

Observers who look for turning

that the present action will spread
quickly west and north and TO the

PERSHING'S BIG
GUNS POUND
ENEMY
(By The Associated Press.)

(By The Associated Press.)
American and French troops to
day began an offensive on 20-mile
front in Lorraine, near the German
border.
The movement evidently is aimed
primarily at the elimination of the
famous St. Mihiel salient, which for
more than four years has projected
into the allied line southeast of Ver-
dun.
The attacks were launched on both
sides of the salient-on twelve
mile front on the south and an eight
mile front on the westerly side.
The assaults were progressing fav-
orably at the latest reports.
A barrage lasting several hours
preceded the thrust. Heavy concen-
trations of French and American
artillery and airplanes had been ef.
fected. The fire poured in upon the
Germans from the allied guns was
terrific one, while the German re-
ply on the whole was weak.
American Forces on the Lorraine
Front, Sept IL, g a. m-By The AS
sociated Press) American forces
this morning launched an attack on
the German positions. At 9 o'clock
they had progressed generally along
the line. Some prisoners were taken
at different parts of the sector.
The first wave of American troops
met with little resistance, and at 8
o'clock the second American wave
was in possession of several points
of the German first line.

The attack was preceded by bar
rage lasting four hours.
The attack on the southern side
of the St. Mihiel salient was made
along a distance OF twelve miles.
The attack on the western side
was on front OF eight miles.
There has been a great concen-

i'll the crushing out or material re-
ducton OF the salient. The removal
OF this salient, would, in fact. seem
to be necessity before any drive in
great force into German territory
OF this front were attempted, as 9TH
wise the German forces TO the west
would be left in a threatening posi-
ton on the left flank OF the attack
ing armies.
1t is known that General Pershing
has huge American army under his
control and there seems little doubt
that adequate forces would be at the
disposal of Marshal Foch for an i'm
portant push in this sector were the
opening moves to develop a Suta-
Bile opening. The st. Mihiel salient
is nearly 20 miles wide at its mouth,
from FresneS, y miles southeast of
Nerdun. 10 Pont-a- Mousson. and
somewhat more than Is miles in
depth, with its apex just to the
southwest OF St. Mihiel. 1t was
driven into the French line in sud
den German eruption southeast OF
Nerdun early in the fall of 1914, be-
fore the line had become entirely
stabilized after the Marne and Aisnc
battle. The French checked the
German push near St. Miliel and
prevented debouching movement
on the flanks. The positions taken
up by the Germans were strong
ones, however, and there is on rec
ord no previous organized attempt
to reduce this menacing bulge point
ing at the heart Of France. between
the fortresses of Verdun and
Nancy.

Foch's Strategy Again.

Marshal Foch has caused the
launching OF this attack almost coin
cidently with the virtually complete
elimination OF the various Salierts
the Germans drove into the allied
lines in their offensive during the
present lighting year. The. Hindn-
burg line had again become the
German defensive position along
most OF its entire length, and the
German defense was Stffening ma
terially at all points where the
French. British and Americans were
pressing IN upon them.
The German command now will
have, it appears, another problem to
meet in dealing with the outbreak
OF its foe in another and conpara-
lively distant quarter from tina: in
which the bulk OF the fighting has
been done in this years campaign.
The question will be, it seems,
whether the reduced German man
power left General Ludendorff with
forces sufficient to maintain his
front from Rheims to IpreS, and at
the same time beat back a power
ful thrust by the allies far 70 the
southeast on the battlefront.
The Hindenburg line itself, how
ever, already has not proved too
strong for either the French or the
British at some points in the recent
fighting.
The British preached it on the
Queant- -Drocourt line, and today
there came the official announce.
ment from London that the British
had made further progress behind
this line in the direction OF CAM
brai, one OF the principal German
bases in the north. A strong de-
fensive line had been taken by the
enemy here along the Canal du Nord
but this line now seems turned on its
left flank, as the British have forced
a crossing OF the canal to the north
west of Havrincourt and are in d
position to push up the easterly
bank providing Field Marshal Haig
decides to employ his driving force
in this direction.
Additional progress also was made
,y the British yesterday and last
hight in closing in upon St. Quen-
in, another of the Hindenburg line
strong points. They captured the
owns OF Vermund, Attilly and Ven
