With the American Army on the Lorraine Front, Sept. 14.-Aside from the strategic value of the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient, the operations by the Americans has netted vast numbers of prisoners and huge quanti- ties of guns, ammunition and general stores. The desperate efforts of the enemy to escape through the forest near Vigneuelles partially succeeded, but not so we'll as to detract from the brilliant result.
 Before the American line stretched across the edge of the woods tightenA ed it is estimated that thousands es- capped from the trap.
 Those who did not escape were small units, rarely greater than coln- panies, and never offered to fight un- less encountered by some patrol and even then. their resistance was slight.
 The spirit of retreat had entered that part of the German army, and there were scores of instances where the men. and even officers, professed satisfaction at their capture. Among the war materials captured was a long train of box cars containing com plete equipment of gas projectors and this may have had bearing on the failure of the Germans to carry out gas attack shortly before the Ameri- cans began their operations. It Is not known that the Germans planned such an attack at one point, but prisoner said that the equipment was delayed and it was decided to postpone the at tack.
 Not Full Total. N
 The total number of prisoners talk en up to date by the Americans, offi- ciallv given as 13,300 represents only those tallied back to the pens.
 Those taken by the French have not been totalled, while it is believed many Germans remain hidden in the for ests and small woods within the pouch. the mouth of which was closed when the two forces made junction at Viz neulles.
