With the American Army Northwest
OF Verdun.-The First American Army
has smashed forward for material
gains along the entire front. In con
junction with the French army on its
left, the Americans resumed in force
the operations begun Sept. 26.
Preceded by the heaviest artillery
preparation yet used by the Ameri-
cans, the infantry went overtime top
at $3.50 in the morning all along the
line. BY 8 o'clock the troops had
taken Champigneulle. St. Georges,
Landres-Et-St. Georges. and the Ian
D,Huy farm and 2,b0e prisoners.
There was opposition only at the
outset. This was carried out by brisk
machine gun fire for from 20 to 80
minutes, when 1t eased off and enabled
the troops to advance without serious
fighting.
Later stiff opposition developed IN
the Bois-D es-Loges and continued for
some time, but before Hoon all the OBJ
jectives along the entire front had
been gained.
The advance Of the Americans in.
creased materially the feasibility OF
firing at the Mezieres, Sedan, Mont
medy and Longuyon railroad commu-
~nication, and as they are much p 'er
direct hits are expected with regular
ity.
The Americans never before had 60
much artillery in action. Although the
artillery preparation was Of only two
hours duration, the concentrated rain
Of missiles fairly smothered the Ger
mans.
The enemy had in line between the
Mouse and the Bourgosne wood nine
divisions, including some Of his best
men. Against these the Americans
threw in q superior number Of fresh
troops. all rested men, in good spirits
and ready for a fight.
