While no word to that effect has
been received. officials were practically
certain that Secretary OF War Baker
was not far from the point where the
Americans went in when the Offensive
started this morning. -.
1t is known that the secretary has
been very anxious to be on the ground
where he could see the American
forces in action and 1t is therefore as

Of today's operations
On Wosvre Plains.
The first great "all American" Of
fensive centered on the Woevre plain,
the stretch of ground lying between the
Meuse and Moselle rivers south OF
Verdun.
Apparently the American attacks
centered in the sector Of st. Mihiei, on
the Meuse river where the Germans
encountered their greatest obstacles in
their drive into France in 1914.
The Germans got to the western side
OF the Meuse at st. Mihiel and estab-
lished bridgehead there but were
unable to advance any farther
This district lies on the German
frontier. not far from the great fort
ress Of Metz.
The Germans have established n
strong chain of fortihcations along
their lines in this zone and have the
advantage of territory.
