Everything Planned Minutely.


The London Daily Mail correspond
ent at the American front sends the
following description of the battle
along the St. Mihiel sector::
"The first American army under
personal command Of General PersI.-
ing for the first time went into action
today. Never before has there been
such large concentration of Ameri.
can troops for one operation and nev-
er have the Americans been in such
complete control of their operation.
The event has long been anticipated.
Some people assigned to it grandiose
objectives but in reality the attack
is for limited objectives only.
The concentration of great part
OF the most experienced United States
troops had taken place during the last
two weeks and everything was plan
ned minutely and with exactitude for
a great event in American HISTORY.
Last night the final preparation was
completed.
The country over which the Amer
leans are fighting is very difficult
The high ridges and thick woods offer
every concealment for enemy machine
guns and in addition the Germans have
fortified line of resistance which has
everything in it's favor.
AT one o'clock Thursday nnorninp
the aerial preparation began with a
roar that could be heard many miles
away: All tonight it rose and fell with
peculiar fluctuations From all the
roads that ran parallel the flashes of

ing assault Towards 5 o'clock, the
hour of the attack, the firing became
even more rapid.

of their shelters to lead Tie attack.
They numbered on, but the Germans

can infantry followed in open order.
plowing through the mud, but they
were little troubled by the feeble ar
tillery resistance.
"At one point near Seicheprey,
where the Americans had previously
fought desperately with the Germans,
machine gun and automatic fire swept
down upon the Yankees right flank
but the ranks and artillery quickly
moved in that direction and the Amer
leans went steadily forward.
AT seven o'clock the tanks had
disappeared amid smoke cloud over
the ridge in front of Seicheprey.
The Germans have offered very
little resistance to the advancing
Americans. Occasionally stray
machine gun or automatic rifle has
been discovered but it appears the
enemy has withdrawn his main force
to second line where possibly he Will
defend with greater resistance.

Thiaucourt Bouillouville, Pannes
and several other towns in the south
were captured in the initial dash,
while on the west, at the northern
edge Of the pocket, the village Of
Combres was captured and the en-
virons of Demmartin La Montague
were reached. To the south every
where, the Americans penetrated into
the heights of the Meuse and the
French fought their way into the out
skirts of St. Mihel. Unofficial reports
are to the effect that the town has
been re-captured by the French.
The fighting front at the commence
ment of the battle aggregated 20
and IL miles on the southern side.
The fighting was preceded by an ex-
tremely heavy artillery bombardment
ond the troops and tanks advanced
under barrage which was carried out
with mathematical precision.
General Pershing's communique for
Thursday follows:
"Headqllarters, American expedi-
tionary forces, Sept. II, 1918.
"Section A: This morning, our
troops, operating in the St. Mihiel sec
tor, made considerable gains. Assist
ed by French units they broke the ene-
my's resistance and advanced at
some points to a depth of five miles.
We have counted 5000 prisoners up
to the present. The operation is still
in progress"

AT the time of telegraphing, de-
tails of what has happened are very
meagre but the writer has just visited
the battle front and heard of the pro.
gression of the Americans.
From Beaumont could see lying
just below me the trenches from
which the Americans started and the
valley through which they were fight
ing. The sun was streaming across
the valley, casting shadows from The

around. On the left was the black
forbidding height Of Montse, with the
tiny village of that name nesting OF
its black side. Spurts of earth sprane
from its capacous sides as the Ameri
can artllerymen battered at it.
"1n the valley the tops of what once
had been houses in the village O.
Richecourt were discernible when tn,
smoke disappeared.
away to the right, bathed in tn.
sunlight, was the village of St. Baus

Meanwhile the air was rent will

ing's Men-ImpOrtant Gains
Made First Day.

The first big American offensive
which began at daybreak Thursday
between the Meuse and Moselles riv-
ers was conducted under General
Pershing's personal supervision and
was executed under orders Ct Ameri-
can officers with American soldiers.
This was the first distinctly American
operation of major character launch
ed on the western front.
The action was begun on a 20-mile
front on the famous St. Mfhiel sal
lent in Lorraine, which had stood a
sharp wedge in the French line south
east of Verdun since the commence
1nent of the war.
In the preliminary thrust ground
was gained on both sides of the tri-
angle and also at it's apex at St.
Mihiel. The advance of the Ameri-
cans was swift and sure and gains
m excess of a miles on the southern
side of the battle area were made,
but the cavalry far outstripped' the

Dear Advertiser:
Well, this is the end Of a perfect
day! Two South Carolinians have
been together, and no tie on earth
beside that of kinship and love of a
common cause is so great as the
cameraderie felt toward one to an
other uf his native town and State.
I had all these thrills to-day. l
met Ruth Tompkins, and we had
lunch together and talked. My!
how we talked about kome and
family and home again.
We walked through the crowded
thoroughfares together, and were
alone with the loneliness of the
crowd, unknown and unknowlng.

1S91-191S
In the valley of the eternal rising
sun,
God is gathering his frowers one, by
one;
Transplanted in His garden beyond
the sky, -
It pleases God they shall never die.
One by one God is gathering His
flowers
From this storm-tossed world OF ours
No torrid sun, no frigid snow
Where Gods flowers ever bloom ana
grow.
And Jesus is the great warden
Over Gods sacred, angelic garden;
He sendeth Heavens dew in showers
To nourish Gods holy, immortal
flowers.
If life's winters seem long ana
weary;
If storms seem dark and dreary'
Life's mortal storms will soon
abate-;
Let us bow and patiently, reverently
wait

Dear Cousin George:
l received your letter one day last
week, you do not know how glad |
was to hear from you.
also received letter from Mama
It is the second letter l have gotten
from home since l have been across.
You must write oftener as | enjoy a
letter from across the>waters.
How are you getting along gather
! ing the crop? Guess you have about
finished now.
We are having some pretty wealth
er now. There is a big frost every
morning; most of the time it is very
cloudy or raining and a day OIL sun
shine feels good.
Well, l will tell you about our trip
to the trenches-we were IN the
front line trenches fifteen days, and
while there heard bombs bursting.
We were bombarded twice, there
sure was a crowd of scared boys as
the first bombs began to burst, but
soon got where we didn't mind them
so much.
We had little battle that LASTED
one hour-from1 to 2 y. NJ. MOI
many of our boys were hurt Dadiy
One sergeant got a flesh wound by
shrapnc!. Do not know whether We
killed any Germans or not.
We had dugout with about 81
, men in it and some large rats! Oul
division is called the "Wild Cat" di
vision, all of us have a Wild cat sew
ed on our left coat sle"-'e.
I haven't seen very --lany trenci
girls, some of them arc real pretty
I am doing fine, haven't been slcI
since l have been across.

| and I sure have seen some hlgI
mountains, the roads are down in tn
valleys, between them.

forting, and I enjoyed talking Il
her.
| went to the Angel Memoria
Hospital Monday morning, and tolG
the first person l saw, lady, chat
wanted to 90 through this unique
institution for dumb animals. She
procured n guide for me, and
went al over the whole place. Here
saw horses. dogs and cats, the op
Grating rooms and the different
places where ANIMALS are kept.
;They have separate rooms for ami
mails with contagious diseases.
The place is huge and very nicely
arranged in every way, three veteri-
mary surgeons being employed. The
outside is very handsome also, with

One room is filled with pictures
of people who had contributed to
the institution, and also a framed
list of ali names. registered with
my home address on the book pre-
pared for that purpose. There are
cute pictures of cats hanging on the
walls.
When l awoke this morning the
ground was covered with half inch
of snow, for the first time since l
came, and yet the weather has been
sarmer than usual to-day.
Recently | went to a Symphony
Concert, supposed to be the great
est orchestra in the world, certainly
tile greatest in the United States.
1t was wonderful! When | came
in the room from the concert,
beautiful black cat had curled up on
my room mates couch, and l just
fe'Fon the cat and cried. 1t was
the most homelike thing l had seen,

sll, but let me play with it as much

The door bell rang! A young
girl inquired if Florence Minis
could be found here. It proved to |
be Miriam Lanham of Augusta
who is here studying music at the
Boston Conservatory and visited
my home in Edgetield with the
Salter brothers about two years
ago. an going ont to Dorchester
afternoon and stay for din
ner with her. She said that every
body made fun OF her southern ac-
cent and she went into ecstaslcs

something about millions Of peo-
ple". when l only meant three or
four, she fairly shouted and said ii
was so homelike to eXaggerate and
that the yankees were SO cold heart
ed. Everybody up here is extremely
efficient and exact in every par
ticular.
1t was most thrilling for me to be
with her, and we fairly revelled III
each others company.
