Half Million Men Will Be Engaged in Motor Trans portation When Army
 Reaches 100000

Washington, September 14.-The recent creation of the motor transport corps, with personnel and equipment with each American army. comprising nearly as many officers and men as were engaged on both sides in the battle of Waterloo, will entail he execution of plans of great size and scope, the war depart ment announced today.
 For each American army there will be 154,7T officers and men, 40,S03 motor trucks, 4,250 motorcycles, 1905 passenger carrying motor cars and 659S ambulances. By the time the United States has 4.oo0,- 600 men in France nearly 5oO,000 of them will be engaged in motor transportation work.
 The value of the trucks in facilitating the movement of troops and supplies has been amply demonstrated, the announce ment stated.
 Truck drivers have achieved glory in a number of critical engagements by car irving endorsements to hard-pressed points.
 The motor truck saved yerdun, the de- partment said, and thousands of them were used on the one road left open after the destruction of railway lines. Its value also was shown at the Marne and elsewhere.
 .The enormous programme Of the mo tor corps service,' the department said, "cals for a great number of men and officers.

WHOLE TRAIN CAPTURED

With the American Army on the Lorraine Front, September 14,-tBy the Associated Press. )--Aside from the strategic value of the reduction of the St Mihiel salient. the operation by the Americans has netted vast numbers of prisoners and huge quanti- ties of guns, ammunition and general stores.
 The desperate efforts of the enemy to escape through the forest near Viz. neulles partially succeeded. but not so well as to detract from the brilliant result Before the American line stretched across the edge of the woads frightened, 1t is estimated that thou sands escaped from the trap. Those who did not escape were small units rarely greater than companies, and never offered to fight unless encoun- tered by some patrol, and even their resistance was slight.
 The spirit of retreat had entered that part of the German army and there were scores of instances where the men. and even officers. professod satisfaction at their capture.
 Among the war materials captured was long train of boxcars containing complete equipment of gas projec- tors, and this may have had a bear ing on the failure of the Germans to carry out a gas attack shortly before the Americans began their operations. It Is known that the Germans planned such an attack at one point, but a prisoner said that the equipment was delayed and it was decided to postpone the attack.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-09-15

Marshal Foch, pursuing his policy of giving the Germans never min ute's rest, followed up the incisive stroke of the Americans, which wiped out the St. Mihiel salient in two days time, by launching an offensive Satur- day morning on the French front along the bend in the line around Laon.
 The blow took immediate effect on the German lines, pushing them back from one to two miles at points in this important sector, where it is well nigh vital for the Germans to hold fast if they hope to retain control of any considerable part of northern France dur- ing the coming winter.
 Meanwhile. the process of cleaning up the St. Mihiel salient was being con tinued by General Pershing's troops, who. so far, are reported to have effected the capture of more than 20,O00 Germans as the result of the clean-cut drive of the American First army.
 There were indications in the reports from the front that the American suc- cess might have done somewhat more than straighten out the line above the former St Mihiel bend, for the Germans were said to be retiring near Chatillon, along front of five or six miles, to the northwest to the former northwest erly lip of the salient. They were prob' ably forced to this in the readjustment of their line to meet the altered condi- tions. with the lessening of the tension on the St. Mihiel salient which is cen tered at present in the French assault on the Ailette-Aisne front
