WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE
Aug. 29.-American troops took part in
the French advance to-day, and fighting
in splendid style made considerable
progress in the region OF Juvigny.
Their attack began at 8 40 o'clock
in the morning, which was damp and
slightly misty. Despite stern resist
ance the Americans quickly gained
ground along the railway running west
from Juvigny. At Couronne the Ger
man machine gun nests Temporarily
held up the advance. but with the as
sistance of French whippet tanks these
nests were quickly cleaned out and the
Americans then moved forward again
at n good pace.
What the Americans accompl' shed
will be reflected in later fighting along
the Aisne. All last night the American
artillery poured shells on the German
positions. i spent the night in a large
stone quarry near the scene and can
testify that our artillery action was
thorough.
Occasionally great column of fame
and smoke would rise back OF the Ger
man lines. telling of a munltion dunn,
being blown up. Great red rockets told
of the success of our infantry. as the
rockets asked for heightened barrage
At the same time We could see the Ger
man rockets signalling distress signals
and calling for artillery and reinforce
ments.
The American infantry moved so
rapidly that great numbers OF Germans
found themselves surrounded before they
were aware of the attack. Two officers
and seventy-s!x non-coms were cap
tured in the early fighting. All the
machine guns belonging to one German
company were quickly put out OF action
Soon all our first objectIves were taken,
and 1t was then that the German artil-
lery reply grew fierce. Meanwhile

the Americans are confronted by what

the Germans, who realize that a break
