WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE, Oct. 2S.-The nEht to
check the Americans on the MeuseI It
Is now evident. is Germany's supreme
political, as well as military, effort.
Orders to prevent the Americans
from crossing the river southeast OF
Brieulles at all costs, and the bitter
counter attacks directed against our
positions on the east bank. are indica-
tive of the Importance the enemy at
taches to the present operations.
Germany Is making every effort to
keep her political front as strong as
possible by saving her military face.
Loss Of the important heights east Of
the Meuse would be the most severe
blow the boche could suffer. They
constitute the Germans. strongest
artillery positions in this region, and
wouh give the Americans control OF
the terrain for several miles to the
northward.
American pressure against the new
German defense line continues to
threaten the eneny's communications
along the entire twenty-hye-mile
front on both sides OF the heuse.
A hundred and fifty American bomb
ing and battle planes shot up enemy
trenches and roads yesterday, and
dropped fve tons OF bombs on con-
centration areas.
The German %Red Bellies Circus"
opposed the Americans in a violent
aerial battle. Lieutenant Ricken-
hacker brought down his twenty-nrst
victim. forcing him down inside the
American lines, where the doughboys
captured the pilot
American squadrons made twelve
flights during the bombing raids.
Rickenbacker engaged in three COM
bats. The day was sunshiny and the
skies were filled with American
aviators.
