EVACUATION OF
 ST. M|H|EL WAS GERMAN SUCCESS
Naive Explanation of Gap. ture of Thousands of Pris-
 oners in Hun Papers.

Amsterdam, Sept. 19.---The Germans facing the Americans southwest of Metz are on the Michael line, con- struction of which was begun in 1916, according to a statement given out in Berlin and which is published by the Germania The plain and unvar- nished truth about the evacuation |of the St. Mihiel salient is declared by the newspaper to be contained in the statement which is made public "to correct erroneous impressions"
 "Fhe German troops" says the statement, ''have retired to the Mi chael line which is the name of the position on the Chord of the St. Mi hieI bend. The evacuation of the ad- vanced terrain was initiated long be- fore the attack took place.
 Owing to the fact that here and there our comparatively weak forces for days had to stem the enemy rush it was inevitable we lost prisoners for our troops had orders to hold out to the last against superior numbers. The losses had to be borne to gain time for the withdrawal of troops and material which still was in the men aced region.
 Enemy reports about ,.prisoners taken seek by exaggeration to dis guise their failure. Our losses in pris- oners are as low as possible (St0) The evacuation of the St. Mihiel bend undoubtedly is German success" 1 It will be noted the statement does not disclose that the enemy was the American First Army. General Per shing has reported that German pris- oners total1ed more than 15,000.
