because of the rapid advance of the
Americans, Before the enemy's re-
treating troops could pull themselves
together to make n counter offensive,
the Americans were already across the
Etzestellung,
The main purpose Of this line was
undoubtedly to retain possession of
the all-important observatory of
Montfaucon, but before the Germans
could react Montfaucon had been
surrounded and the Americans were
well inside the Etzelstellung at Nam
tillois
There remained one last German
position called the Giselherrstellung,
and it was here the enemy, aided by
the difficulties our allies were meeting
in the matter of communications, was
able to organize his defense. This
Giselherrstellung of the German
maps is called by us the kriemhild
line. 1t is al present far from fin
ished, 1t runs along the highest
ground for a kilometer to north of
Cierges, and includes in a salient the
crossing of the Cierges- Nantillois and
tho Cunel Nantilois roads. Thence II
runs south of Bieules wood and in
its original tracing met the Meuse at
point south of Sivry. Into the outly-
ing parts of this position the Ameri-
cans have already penetrated. They
have cleared up the advanced posts
of machine guns and are almost in
contact with the principal zone of de-
Tense. All the enemy's efforts, so far,
have been directed to preventing the
Americans from getting within strik-
ing distance of this main line.
Foo Weak Back of the Lines.
Behind it he appears to have no
finished organizations, and even IL he
had, his withdrawal to them would
necessarily produce serious effects
upon the whole line from Rheims to
Flanders. The French lat Monthois.
are now on level with the valley of
the Aire river, which is the northern
boundary of the Argonne forest. The
enemy cannot afford to allow the
Americans to make a junction with
the French north of the Argonne
forest, for in that case the pivot on
which he must depend, il he is to
withdraw from the st. Gobain forest
and the Hndenburg line, would be
jeopardized.
A few klometers' retreat north of
the Argonne would endanger his line
of communication and for this reason
it seems certain that the German high
command will resist to the last mo-
ment in the face of the Americans
who continue to he much impeded by
difficulty of communications.

dun, oct 6--The battle has now
reached stage inevitable in big OPP
erations conducted in bad weather.
The enemy's resistance is increasing
and he is using his reserves to coun-
ter-attack, but his activity is a minor
matter compared with the problem of
communications.
The success of the first American
assault made this sort of resistance
possible because 1t shattered the Ger
man plan of defense. The enemy un-
doubtedly intended to withdraw from
his advanced positions, repeating Cen
eral Gouraud's brilliant maneuver,
and then. having installed himself in
prepared positions to crush the Amer
lean onslaught. Unfortunately for him
the Americans dashed on with such
spirit that they extended and passed
over the lines on which the enemy in
tended to stand.
Foes Divisions Spit Up.
AT the same time his troops were so
hustled by our allies swift advance
that they lost cohesion and were in
no condition to react at the moment
when their communications gave to
them the best chance. To save the
situation the German command was
forced to split up divisions and throw
them into the fight in battalions
wherever their presence was most ur-
gently needed. The result was that
his counter-attacks became local af-
falrs and general reaction on large
scale was impossible.
II seems that the enemy, after his
experience this year, had made UP
his mind, in case Of general attack,
to abandon this series of complicated
fortifications without struggle apart
from resistance by machine gun nests

Granville A. Richardson, who was last

allied powers and their armies, are
battling for democracy, that demo

this country will more nearly support

portance of support at this time is
even greater than at any other period

rights of the governed to determine
