ankee Attack Dazes
German General Staff
One Division Reports Capture
of 20 Guns and Munitions
Supplies

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE CHAMPAGNE FRONT, Sept. 26
BY The Associated Press THE as
SUMPTION OF the General Staff that the
Germans had not discovered the inten-
tion of the Americans to attack was
proved by the earlier phases Of the
lighting. Apparently dazed by the sud
denness and ferocity of the artillery
preparation, the German artillery re-
action was slow in being registered. It
never recovered it's balance.
From the minute the Americans
swarmed. forward the inferiority of the
enemy csistance was marked Early
this morning the enemy had laid down
artillery fire calculated to cove a local
raid. That incident was quickly forgot
ten in the magnitude Of the operations
that followed.
One division REPORTS the capture of
twenty n guns and plentiful supplies
of ammunition. The check on the
amount of booty has not yet been taken
but every report indicates that the
amount Of it will be large
Officer prisoners show that there was
much enemy perplexity as to the exact
point of attack, but say they were aware
(! that one was impending.
New-York tribune., 1918-09-27
Foch NotO Striking
Where French Were
Held 3 Years Ago

Foch's new blow falls against the
same sector of the German line which
was struck by the French three wears
ago almost to the day. On September
., 1915, the Allied armies in the West
answered the German drive into Rus
Sia with triple smash, at Ypres. at
Arras and in the Champagne.
Alter success on the first few davs
the terrific resistance of the enemy
crushed the French attack and the Of
fensive came to a halt. Further slight
gains were made, but the French losses
mad been too heavy to justify con-
tinued offensive movements, and the
battlefront soon became stabilized.
A Franco-American drive on this
sector of the front has been predicted
for some time by miltarv critics. who
saw In 1t the natural result of Foch's
policy OF striking sharp. swift blows
m hrst one sector ana cnen another.
Following the wiping out of the enc
my's salient further west--Ypres, Pic
ardy, Marne and St. Mihiel-the front
between Rheims and Verdun lay open
rs the most promising field of cam
paign, as marked success on that
front might result in the severing of
communications between the German
forces on either side and might result
IN forcing the foe out Of France.
An advance of several miles in this
region, moreover, would outflank not
only the Hindenburg line. but the Sec
on6ary line of defence which the Ger
mans are reported to have prepared
for successive defence.
There has been marked patrol activ-
ity along the Champagne front in re-
cent weeks. The only advances scored
by either side III that region this year

Rumanian Situation
Alarming for Huns
Peasants Revolt Upon Learn
ing of Allied Successes
in Balkan States

ROME, Sept 26.-Thc situation in
Rumania, according to information re-
ceived here, has become alarming for
the Central Powers. The Rumanan
peasants, made enthusiastic by the vic
tories of the Entente countries, are
beginning to resist openly the German
and Austro-Hungarian military
Local revolts have occurred at q
number of places and the Rumanan
government has sent agents to Berlin
and Vienna to obtain a mitigation of
the Austro Hungarian .ule.
The Rumanian government is report
ed to have pointed out that if it's re-
quest is rejected 1t will be unable to
guarantee the maintenance Of order or
avoid the eventualties of a sanguinary
crisis.
