ENEMY REACTS VIOLENTLY

GNGm hGNS Q NlOEEN EN
 WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Sept. 20 (By the Associated Press) The progress of General Man gins army toward the western ex- tremity of the Chemin Des Danes has driven the enemy to violent reactions. Five vigorous counter attacks wers made last night against the new French positions east of the Noisy farm and north of Allemant In every one of these unsuccessful assaults the Germans lost heavily.
 The French troops have maintained all gains made in this region and have succeeded in organizing their new operations. Only about three quarters of mile now separates the French from the height on which stands the ruins of Fort Malmaison. It is difficult ground adapted to the kind of defensive fighting the Ger mans carry on.
 It is the plateau of Chavignon the Germans defending here so desperate ly. More than 430 of their dead were picked up over a space a half mile long by a quarter of a mile deep, dur ing the recent fighting. The posses sion of this plateau which is the key to the positions north of the Chemin Des Danes would compel the enemy to abandon a part of the St. Gobain forest

RETURNING TO HOMES

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN LORRAINE, Sept. 20, (By the As sociated Press) 11:45 a. m.-Although it is only a week since the Franco American forces delivered the St. Mi hiel, salient, with it's more than l5G square miles, from possession of the enemy, a slender stream of former in habitants of the region has already begun to flow into the liberated ter ritOTy. The stream is a slender one because the people which originally fled before the German advance have been gone for more than four years and many g them have formed new ties and associations, but every day sees several truck loads of peasants or of dwellers in the towns and will ages of the southern section of the salient returning to search for their former homes.
 There are iof course many towns in the old salient. especially in the southern portion, which may never re- ceive their original inhabitants again to any extent, while there are many others that cannot yet be re-inhabitat- ed for military reasons. Well-nigh countless villages are today levelled ruins for they have stood on the path of bcmbardment from both sides and hardly a wall of the one-time houses is standing. Still other places, notably St Mihiel, ar still habitable, and to them the former dwellers are slowly working back, pverjoyed at the deliverance of their home cities.
