Americans Advance Despite
Increasing Resistance by
Foe With Every Avail
able Defense.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Further ad-
vances by the American forces along
the Meuse river and in the Argonne
forest were reported in General
Pershing's communique for today,
received tonight at the War depart
ment. American patrols have passed
beyond Cierges and are maintain
ing contact with the enemy.
More than 100 hostile planes and
2l balloons have been shot down by
American aviators since September
20, General Pershing said.
Germans Fighting Furiously. ..
With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Oct. 1.-The enemy
is organizing an increasingly bitter
defense, utilizing every available
means to hold back the American
troops. North and northeast of
Cierges shell holes have been forti-
fed for a distance of nearly a mile.
On the left new enemy division
has been thrown into the fighting
and heavy counter-attack followed
its appearance which could not be
checked for several hours. When
the check did come, it was disas-
trous for the enemy, for he pushed
forward this division further than
those adjoining and it was soon en-
filaded.
Several attacks were
nipped in the bud by the daring of
American soldiers. One observer,
though badly wounded, managed to
reach te massing of Germans in
preparation for an unexpected at
tack in time for the American artil-
lery to cover the enemy and break
up his consultations.
In another case an aviator flying
low over the Argonne forest first
drove off reconnoitering German
plane, then with his machine gun
dispersed two platoons getting
ready to attack.
One American battalion alone
has used more than 20 of its cap
tured guns against the enemy as
ammunition was captured along
with the batteries. These included
two Russian 100 millimeter guns
which were used effectively.
Blind Struggle in Forest.
In the Argonne forest there has
been strange blind struggle in the
very thickest part of the wooded
bastion, where the underground is
so dense that opposing platoons
filtered through each other without
being aware of it. The Germans
several times utilized these mis-
takes by turning machine guns on
men who had passed them, but
American sappers, cleaning up be-
hind the advance, soon put a stop to
this by cleaning up the enemy gun
ners.
