ADVANCE OVER MILE

PARIS, Oct. 5.-American troops at
tackled again this morning between the
Meuse and the Argonne, along an eX-
tended front. The advance at some
points was reached more than one
mile and several villages have been
taken.

Artillery Fire Heavy.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF vERDUN, Friday.
Oct. 4.-In the attack made yesterday
east of the Argonne forest the corps
holding the middle of the American
line met with most determined re-
sistance during the day. The Ameri-
cans advanced behind a terrific bar
rage fire This bombardment of the
enemy lines began at $50 O'Clock,
twenty-five shells falling each minute
along the German lines. This was
gradually increased to fifty per min
ute at Gas o'clock.
The American firing hardly began
to slacken when the German batteries
began to speak and the enemy ma
chine guns commenced to impede the
advance of the Americans. Neverthe-
less, the troops in the center moved
steadily ahead. They fought their way
through Cierges, which they had shar-
ed for several days with the enemy
and before noon had driven the Ger
mans out Of Gesnes.
In front Of Romagne lies the strong
est German line in this sector. 1t
is a long, intricate trench system
which is built on a curving line so
that each end of it enfilades any force
that attacks another portion
Tanks Used Against Foe.
The American troops on the left
kept in perfect touch with the center,
and rapidly cleaned out Exermont,
and Cheerhy, and captured Fleville
By noon they had mopped up LaVfer-
gette and LeMenil farms, as we'll as
the Grange farm. They also had TAX
en- Hill 24O This advance had been
just as rapid as that of the troops
further to the east. Notwithstanding
the fact that tney went over the top
at $50 o'clock without any artillery
preparation anu nanueu the Germans
a big surprise.
Just south c: Cherehy the general
advance was slowed up by German
counter attack and American tanks
had to be sent for to drive the enemy
back.
The Germans have deliberately set
fire to the villages of Romagne, Ges-
mes, Cornay, Bantheville, Chevieries.
st. Juvin and Marcq. Shells from
American guns fell thick along the
front and ammunition dumps every
where were exploded when the shells
reached them.
Visibility was very poor all day and
American aviators were not able to
render much help to the artillery. The
men at the guns could not even see
the American advance at all points
during the morning. American and
German machines consequently, flew
unusually low and suffered from anti
aircraft fire.
On the center of the line fell the
bulk of the work. 1t was there that
the deepest advance of the day had
been planned. On the right the troops
operating northward along the Meuse
met with hardly any resistance at first
and easily pushed up to the outskirts
of Brieulles. German artillery on the
east side of the river however soon op-
ened up an enfilad;ng fire which not
/ not only affected the extreme right OF
the American line, but carried far ov.
| er toward the center. Then the enc
my artillery further west along the
line opened up with a barrage through

ENEMY RAID FAILS

LORRAINE, Oct. 5.-After a forty
minute barrage the Germans last night
attempted to raid the American lines
east of Gerardmer in Lorraine with a
strong party. The attack was a total
failure. The German party comprised
60 men and every member of it who
reached the American line was either
killed or captured. Five wounded pris-
oners remained in the hands of the
Americans. Cerardmer is southeast
of Epinal, and eight miles from the
German border opposite Colmar, Al
