Paris, Nov, II, (by The Associated
Press. Out Of the confusion and
daze of the crowding military events
on the western battle line since late
in September, when battle followed
battle until from Flanders to Verdun
there was ceaseless action, 1t is now
permissible to outline to a certain ex-
tent the part played by the American
armies in the final decisive battle Of
the war, which ended with the arm
istice of last Monday.
Military reasons heretofore have
prevented accentuating the accomp-
lishments OF the Americans, except in
most general manner, The dis
patches from the field have been me-
cessarily fragmentary and possibly
were overshadowed by the accounts OF
the more dramatic operations over the
historic battle fronts to the west
But il now may be stated that 2l
American divisions totallng more
than 100000 American combat troops
participated in the action beginning
September 26, known variously as the
Battle Of the Argonne ana the Battle
Of the Meuse, but which history may
call Sedan--the battle that brought
Germany to her knees and as far as
human foresght goes ended the
worlds bloodiest and costliest war
In order to understand the military
situation which made the ArEonne OPP
erations the cruX of the war, II Is
necessary to go back to the reduction
of the st. Mihiel salient in the middle
Of September, This brilliant Ameri-
can accomplishment is still fresh In
history. It cut off at one stroke q
menacing enemy projection toward
Verdun and weakened the enemys
defensive by threatening Metz. one Of
Germany's two greatest advance rail-
way centers for distributing troops
and supplies along the Mont Medy-
Sedan line,
Metz Was Pivot.
Metz also was the pivot on which
the enemy swung through Belgium
into France, and therefore obviously
it was the pivot on which his retire
mont must hinge. The Argonne, the
next step below here, threatened the
great railway arteries running west
ward from Metz
With the conclusion Of the St Mi
hie action the steady inflow of
American forces caused a dsplace-
ment of power as between the allied
and German armies Thus it no long
er was necessary to pursue a policy
of reducing a salient or nibbling at
It, The American troops had shown
what they could do.
A broader policy Of general attack
along the entire line was then adopt
ed and the high command called on
General Pershing to take the Argonne
sector, admittedly one Of the most
difficult of the whole front. The
broken terrain, the topography and
the lack of roads made problem diff
ficult to describe. Germany had in
four years fortified 1t to the last de-

JOHNSON STICKS TO TOP
Walters Effectiveness Gives Him
Best Record Of American League
Twirlers of 1918.

Walter Johnson, who has kept
Washington on the base ball map, 10,
these many years, seems as great in
his especial sphere of pitching as is
the perennial Tyrus Raymond Cobb
in all-around general excellence. The
official American League pitching
records for 1918, released today, prove
Johnson still the king bee Of the
major league hive.
The mighty Walter took part in no
less than thilty-nine games during
the abbreviated season of 1918, twirl-
ing no less than 325 innings mean
while, and in that long span allowed
Only 1.28 earned runs per game of
nine innings. No less than 1.149 Off
cial batsmen faced Walter. He held
them to 141 hits and II runs; struck
out 1862; gave 70 bases on balls. but

ADJUSTMENTS
B. F. Keith's.

Lillian Russell changed her costume
once at keith's last night. Her first ap-
rearance was in an elaborate gown of
white satin with silver spangles. The
change presented her in marine cos
tune. with the mark of sergeant on
her arm. She referred to her distinc-'
tion in war work and let the audience
into the secret that the marines. as q
body. have made her a colonel as q re-
ward for what she has done for the
treat 'em rough boys" She also sang
several now songs, including her famous
''Star Of the night to great applause.
With Harrison Greene. she helped to
collect nearly . thousand dollars for the
war work drive.
Ruth Roye shared honors with tho
celebrated topliner. Her songs were
sung in her own inimitable way and she
scored a pronounced hit. many encores
being demanded. Miss Roye finally beg
Eed off with a neat little speech. Jack
Norworth cut a slice out Of his revue,
''Odds and Ends of 1917" and sent it
into vaudeville under the title Some
where With Pershing." The little sketch
tells Of trench life at the front. but de-
pends for its success upon a clever
struggle by an American to tell a
French girl he loves her. The liberties
taken with the French language by the
fank won continuous round OF laugh
ter and applause.
Harrison Greene and Katherine Parker
in singing and talking sketch entitled
"At the Depot" made one Of the big hits
OF the evening. Newcomers to Wash
ington, their work is along original lines
and carries many laugh. Lynn Cowan,
a ra&-time singer. also did well. Johnny
Singer and his dancing dolls opened the
program with a pretty dancing turn: Fred
Allen was funny in a monologue, and

ing Of sensational order. The Hearst
