WITH THE. FIRST AMERICAN
ARMY. Nov delayed. - Though
with heavy forces massed against the
American First Army to-day, the Ger
mans were unable to stand the initial
shock, giving ground rapidly, with
large numbers of prisoners taken.
General Liggett's part in the big
inter-Allied blow was from the first
marked by brilliant planning and exc
cutlon. After the artillery prepara-
ton, which was unique in many re-
spects, the doughboys at $50 a. m
jumped with enthusiasm from their
positions, following their barrages tow
ard their objectives. In heavy foc.
the dim light OF approaching dawn
aided materially.

yards over the entire army front

dicated that the enemy had lost his
nerve. He had withdrawn the major
ity of the artillery to the far rear.
Our powerful preparation was prac-
tically unanswered except by an occa-
sional shell from long range weapons.
Tanks supported by American troops
have left, taking many prisoners. Here
American engineers with scores of
mule-drawn wagons followed immedi-
ately behind the second wave Of infan-
try, bridging creeks and shell holes

the entire front, was studied minutely
for several days in advance by engi-
neers, portable bridges we're prepared
and wagons placed for any emergency.
Make Advance Sure
This initiative, which was used for
the first time to-day, made the ad-
vance rapid and sure and at the same
time prepared trails on the actual bat
tlefield for an artillery advance. Due
to more American initiative, the viii
lage Of st. Georges ct Landres were
forced to surrender without serious
struggle. Our gas experts flooded both
with hundreds Of heavy gas shells from
trench mortars, then drenched the viii
lagos in the same manner with ther-
mite.
The villages of lnecourt, Landrc-
vile and Remonvillc fell almost at
the same hour. At Champgneulles q
sitter resistance was encountered
I The village was filled with machine
guns which were slowly dug out be-
fore night
The capture of Remonvillc brings our
, line into the area of the famous Freya
Stellung, which is spoken of as the
+ next strong point of resistance This
/ line proved to-day to be merely a sur
yeycd line with little or no organiza-
ton. The enemy, who is probably
blu1fing. may be forced back lar enough
to place the Mezieres Sedan Metz rail
road. which feeds the great portion of
the line westward, under American

WHY SOLDIERS MAIL
is DELAYED

"One reason why American soldiers
in France do not get their mail
promptly is that much of it is misdi-
rected, According to information from
Paris, during the month of June 21
80 per ct. Of the mail matter arriving
for the American army was either in
sufficiently or incorrectly addressed.
More than 100000 letters and thous-
ands of sacks of paper mail were de-
layed for this cause.
"This puts on the folks at home a
good proportion of the blame popularity
attributed to the postal authorities.
Whatever the defects Of the army mail
service over there, much of the trou-
BILE lies here, where little individual
painstaking would obviate it. The
fact that 80 per cent of the misdirected
June mail was merely addressed
Somewhere in France or "A. E. F.
shows the extent of this carelessness.
considering the number of soldiers
in the service who bear similar names,
the need of distinct and definite adj
dress is obvious. The postoffce de-
partment has again advised persons
writing to soldiers in France to include
in the address the regiment and COM
pany number, and if possible the num-
Der of the army postoffce CA. P. o.
That ought to be simple thing to do,
and the little care necessary to fol-
low these directions should prevent

pointment.-New York World
The misdirection of letters may ac
count for a small per cent of the fail
ures to deliver mail to soldiers, but
the machinery for delivering letters
to soldiers in France has been poor
from the beginning.

has abundant reasons for the position
of himself and church in supporting

cies of the government. The reasons
ne outlines are as follows:
I've are an evangelistic agency,

in driving back the Hun in Belgium

the cause of justice and liberty de-
mands our fullest allegiance.

BOY SCOUTS FIND
BLACK WALNUT

About 100000 feet of black wal

existence reported to the forest service
by the Boy Scouts since they were cal
led upon by the president to assist
the government to locate this timber
for gunstock and propeller material.
The Boy Scouts send the reports to the
forest service, where the information
is compiled and then forwarded to
the war department. The government
itself is not buying the walnut, but
sends out the information to manufac-
tLrers working on government con-
trects.
