General March, chief OF staff, has
said that it is entirely feasible to push
the Boche back through these two
channels, and il is conceivable that Is
the major strategy behind Foch's
smashes.
American army men are gratifeid
at the United States push, because
lit shows a determination to give the
Hun no rest.
Some had feared that a deadlock
was coming in the west and that 1t
would not De broken until spring
when America begins to reach the
peak Of her four million army plan.
However. this brilliant offensive
proves conclusively that Foch does
lot propose to give the German a
chance to repair and reform his ar.
mics.
American casualties are believed
TO have been small compared to the
magnitude of the operations, espec-
tally as at some points of the advance
the Germans had been blown out OF
their positions and retired hastily.

hiel salient, into which the Ameri-
cans are advancing, is partly high
and wooded and partly comparatively
level. In the western side of the
pocket are the heights Of the Mouse,

was won. the terrain is smooth and
well adapted to operations of tanks,
which crossed the enemy line near
st. Baussant.
The Americans have crossed the
Nadine river. small stream. and
are reported clear through THAI
court wood, north of which Is Vignu-
Giles, IN the center OF the pocket.
Thiaucourt and Pannes, taken by the
Americans, are both functions of
several highways. An important
highway runs from Thiancourt d.
rectly across the salient near its
base.
terrain Is smoother and the woods
thinned out.
This district is dotted with villages
and 1lamlets around which there has
been no fighting since 1914. North
of the salient, but slightly out of the
direct patch of drive toward Metz
from the base OF the pocket, is the
important town OF Contains, which
has frequently been bombed by al
lied airplanes.

.GREDELL NOT
SERIOUSLY HURT
keokuk Man Who Tough. With Ameri-
cans in the Battle Of chipiiiy'
Writes That Wound is
= in Left Hand.
FATHER FROM ALsAcE
British Officer Praises the Americans
for the Important Part They
Took-Had a Hard
Task.

Private James F. Gredell OF the
i1sIst infantry, a keokuk man who
was reported severely injured Angus,
9Th while fighting in the battle OF
Chipilly, writes to relatives here tha'
the wound sustained Is in his lei,
hand. ConvalesceAt in base hospital
No. l6. he designates the hospital as
the finest place I've seen since ieI'
America" And he adds, Don't worry
about me-"
One curious thing is that his father
II. G. Gredell, of Alexandria, Mo-. was
born In Alsace and is familiar with
the territory through which the
Americans are moving. James r.
Gredell himself was formely employed
BY the S. HamiIl company
Private Gredell encloses in his let
ter a clipping from the Official army
paper, The Stars and Stripes, de-
scriptive of the battle OF Chiptlly- In
this article British officer speaking
of the work done by the American
boys says:
ssTne excellent work OF the Amer1-
can troops in the recent fighting north
of the Somme has won unstinted and
sincere praise from the British COM
mand under which they fought. The
actual number Of Americans VINO
went into this action was small, but
their task abounded with SO many
difficulties and their detectives so
important that they deserve special
mention 4"
