YANKEE GRIT OVERCOMES
 HEAVY GERMAN RESISTANCE
FRENCH ATTACK ON THE AILETTE AND BETWEEN VESLE AND AISNE
 ADVANCING ON n MILE FRONT

London. Sept. A, 80 D. m. (By the Associated Press.) .)-French troops began a new attack at dawn today on both sides of the Ailette river, and be- tween the river Aisne and the Vesle river.
 The attack of the French forces in the direction of the forest of Coucy at the southern end of the St. Gobain massif, was progressing satisfactorily this morning.
 South of the Ailette river the French captured Mont Des Singes and the villages of Allemont and Sanoy.
 The French also reached the dge of the town of Vailly, on the Aisne
 The French advanced for a distance of between one and two miles on an Il mile front
 The attack was launched by the French at 5 o'clock this morning. One division at a nearly hour had taken 1000 prisoners, making a total of 1,SOO Germans captured on that front alone.
 The German COunter-attacks against the Frenchmen advancing on the Ailette river front appeared to have been weak, although the front line was strongly held. The German prisoners say they had orders to hold at all costs,

IT'S HOT STUFF, GEN. MARCH SAYS OF ST. MIHLEL SUCCESS
A Allies Have Much Better Base 'For Future Offen- sive Operations, Chief of Staff Asserts.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Elimination of the St. Mihiel salient by the first big American offensive and the con- sequent reduction of that sector by 22 miles, Gen. March said today, is of extreme importance in that it gives the Allies much better base flor future offensive operations"
 Gen. March paid high tribute to the American forces which in less than two days wiped out this salient, the narrowest and most angular on the entire western front. The operations there, he said, not only were a tribute <. to the work of the staff but to the individual soldier.
 "It's hot stuff," he added warmly.
 No report has yet como from Gen. Pershing identifying any individual unit which participated in the advance. Gen. March, however, announced the composition of the staff which, under Gen. Pershing, planned and executed the movement This staff is entirely different from the general staff of the !. .American Expeditionary Forces which remained in it's entirety at the expe- ditionary headquarters .
 Gen. March pointed out in connec- ton with the German claim that the St. Mihiel salient had been abandoned voluntarily that no mention was made oy the German of the big loss Of khrisoners.
 Capture of the salient was accom- plished by quick, sharp blows on both Hanks, Gen. March explained. The American troops advanced across Q difficult terrain consisting of densely
 
 ravinss.
 Gen. March laid particular emphasis on the determination of the United States to continue to exert it's whole strength against the Germans. He F4eferred to recent publications which, he said, intimated America was not going through with the war despite the enlarged military program. This suggestion, he declared, was "prcpos- terous in it's falsity."
 It seemed incredible, the chief of staff said, that such propaganda could gain attention at time when the war department had just secured increased age limits for the draft and was about to ask an additional seven billions dollars for the use of the military es- tablishment during the present year.
 All reports from American forces at the front indicated high spirits and enthusiasm throughout the whole Marmy. Gen. March said the American soldier quickly became imbued with this spirit as soon as he landed if he did not possess 1t before.
 Arrival abroad of the Fortieth divi- sion, composed of California, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado troops. which trained at Camp Kearney, Cal, was announced. Part of the division now is in England.

In their attack south of the river Alsne, the French also made satisfac- tory progress and captured prisoners. The advance of the French threatens to turn the flank of the German de- fensiVe positions on the Chemin des Danes and it also endangers Laon.
 British Advance in Lys Sector.
 London, Sept 14.-Tield Marshal Haig's forces have occupied Auchy- les-La Bassee in the Lys sector, says today's British, war office statement.
 Several attempts made by the Ger mans to recover their former posi- tions at Gouzeaucourt and Havrin- court were unsuccessful.
 During the night a strong bomb- ing and liquid fire attack was made on the British positions northwest of Gouzeaucourt. This attack tem- pOrarily forced a British advaced post to withdraw but the Germans were beaten off.
 As the result of the British pro- gross yesterday directly northwest of St. Quentin the British line has been established east of the villages of Hesbcourt and Jeancourt.
 The British forces captured more than 1,500 Germans when they took the towns of Frescourt and HaVrin- court on Thursday.

Washington Awaits Next Move.

Washington, Sept. 14.-With the St. Mihiel salient wiped out by Gen. Pershings army. interest of officials here was divided today between tho next probable move by the American forces and the amount of booty that had fallen to them In the short time required for the accomplishment of the first task assigned them as an in- dependent operating army.
 Latest reports from the front did not make it clear whether the Amer jeans and the supporting French fore es had halted on a new line in the shape of a bow from F'resnes to the MoselIe river at Pagny, where the German border was in sight, or still were pursuing the enemy.
 The speed with which the Ameri- cans from the south and those ad- vancine from the west made a juno ture some 12 miles northeast Of St Mihiel was surprising in view or the fact that no less than seven German divisions opposed them. That many divisions were identified by the prlS- oners taken, which Gen. Pershlhg reported last night numbered 13,3oo.
