The chateau beyond fine old place
of brick, darkened by many winters of

though some of its thick walls were
standing and part even of its gables

row Of German dead, for the High
landers had hard fighting there on
their way up the slope, and other
garden. and everywhere there was the
litter Of human conflict.
But our machine. gunners were fix
ing up good fields of fire for defense

their steel hats aslant were collect

Battered DOlUyl

Ypres and then between Rheims and
Soissons.
To strike across the newly conquered
land without railroads-and without or
dinary wagon roads would have been
too difficult. The situation Is reversed
now with the added advantage to the
Germans of occupying thoroughly pre-
pared positions, which the Allies did not
when they fell back upon Amiens.
Americas Part Gigantic
Pershing's offensive against the st.
Mihiel salient shows what will be
Americas task in France. II will be a
major task. no less than the taking of

and vital iron ore region of Brieux and
lorraine. This region is to Germany
what the channel ports are TO the Allies.
The munitions of the Germany army
come from II.
~ The taking of Metz and the surround
Ing region would cripple Hindenburg as
the taking of the channel ports would
p have crippled Foch.
The task is big. Metz is one of the
greatest strongholds of Europe. At best
1T can perhaps only be surrounded and
PLACED under bombardment, but that will
be sufficient to wrest control of the iron
ore of Lorraine from Germany ant

British Push Out Suddenly

1t was not an attack in any set piece
style. There was no preliminary
bombardment, but only heavy cunning
of German battery positions and other
points to keep them quiet with Ger
man heads below ground, while some
of our troops pushed out suddenly,
surrounding tin eenemys outposts and
machine guns.
There was some savage fighting in
the triangle, with here and there Ger
man and English soldiers at close
| grips with bayonets or bombs, but
for the most part the Germans were
| trapped quickly in their holes below
the embankment and told to get out
or be killed. Forty-one of them got
out and went meekly away with our
