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 ito correct erroneous impressions.'
 The German troops, says the statement, "have retired to the Mi chae line which is the name of the position on the Chord of the St. Mi hiel bend. The evacuation of the ad- vanced terrain was initiated long be- fore the attack took place.
 lowing 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. These losses had to be borne to gain time for the withdrawal of troops and material which still was in the menaced region.
 Enemy reports about prisoners taken seek by exaggeration to dis guise their failure. Our losses in prisoners are as low as possible (slc). The evacuation of the St. Mihiel bend undoubtedly is a German success
 It will be noted the statement does not disclose that "the enemy was the American First Army. Gen. Pershing has reported that German prisoners captured totalled more than 1000.
