"What are the American troops up
to-" is a question which has been
perplexing the mind of Gen. Won Lie
bert, the Taegliche Rundschau's
military critic. He finds their
withdrawal from German gaze
during the last few weeks remark
able. He says: zone often hears
people asking where they can be.
We must be prepared to find that
they are up to something impor-
tant, because they are taking such
a long time and did not decide to
rush forward simultaneously with
Foch's big attacks, but have been
biding their own opportunity.
MERELY for the sake Of this new
enemy" he says, "who skunk Sc
cretively into France, it is highly
important that the German higher
command has considerably shortened
its front, withdrawn it's menaced
hanks from the enemy and got nearer
its reserves, depots, main lines of
communications, &c"
The first American army, under
the personal command of General
Pershing, fer the first time went into
action at the St. Mihiel salient.
Never before has there been such a
large concentration of American
troops for one operation, and never
have the Americans been in such
complete control of their operations.
The event has long been antici-
pated. Some people assigned to it
grandoise detectives, but in reality
the attack is for limited objectives
only
The concentration of a great part
of the most experienced United
States troops had taken place dur
ing the past two weeks and every
thing was planned minutely and with
exactitude for a great event in Am
erican history.
The country over which the Am
ericans are fighting is very difficult
The high ridges and thick woods Of

machine guns, and in addition, the

sistance which has everything in its
favor.
At dawn whole fleets of tanks
manned by strong, young Americans
and French, were to be seen moving
out of their shelters to lead the at
tack. They numbered on, but the Ger
mans offered little opposition. The
| American infantry followed in opeI
order, ploughing through the mud
but they were little troubled by the
feeble artillery resistance.
At one point, near Seicheprey
where the Americans had previousl!
fought desperate battles with thu
Germans, machine-gun and automatic
fire swept down upon the Yanks
right flank, but the tanks and artil
lery quickly moved in that direction

and the Americans went steadily for
ward
At seven o'clock the tanks had dis
amid a smoke cloud over
the ridge in front of Seicheprey.
The Germans have offered very lit
tie resistance to the advancing AM
ericans. Occasionally stray ma
chine gun or automatic rifle has
been discovered, but it is apparent
that the enemy has withdrawn his
main forces to a second line, which
possibly he will defend with certain
degree of tenacity.
His artillery has been firing from
behind ridge which runs in front
Of the American line, but he is being
pursued by tanks, which at one point
lost only one out of forty-fve, and
that stuck III the mud.
A few prisoners of the Tenth
Landwehr division have been taken.
The Americans are pressing for
ward in fine style and slowly clos
ing in the extreme ends of the st.
Mihiel salient.

Professor sAntonious Pup, an Estho-
nian Diplomatic representative in
this country. Esthonians, he de-
clares, are maintaining resolute
struggle against pan-Germanic plans
to unite Esthonia with Germany and
standing firm in defense of Esthonian
independence.
Summarizing information from
what he described as his unhappy
country" Professor Pup said:-
"The position in Esthonia is intol-
erable. Arbitrary rule is the order
of the day. Press of all the Estho-
nian parties has been crushed. All
political life is suppressed, all meet
ings forbidden. Many of the poll
ticians and ordinary citizens are ar
rested and shot. The German barons
and the pan-Germanists are ruling
the country.
democratic elf-government has
been dissolved. In place of it new
German bodies are created. German
language is the official one. It is
compulsorily introduced in schools
Russian is absolutely forbidden, as
also correspondence in Esthonian. Of
the town councils those in which the
majority before the revolution was
German have been restored. In Re-
val German town council and May
or have been nominated, and they
sent an unauthorized telegram to
Berlin in the name of the population.
"The Esthonian troops have been
broken up. The post does not work
Every sort of passenger traffic has
| been curtailed. There are no law
courts. Crime is increasing, especially
on account of the general lack OF
work. The German barons have re-
ceived the monopoly of judicature
and censorship. The factories are
shut. All private enterprise is par
alyzed. The banks refuse to make
payments, having no money. In the
rural districts the authorities wht
were in the Office before the revolu
ton have been restored.
/ "People out of work turn thei.
steps to the countryside, where how
ever it is impossible to get land be
cause the landowners are waiting fo
the Germans to buy up land at a higl
price for colonizing. Supplies o
provisions scanty as they are, ar
