nit the Importance of the American
drive on the st. Mihiel salient, but the
deception of their people through the
official reports continues, as eXempli-
fled by the statement, one day last
week, that American attacks on Haul
mont had been repulSed and the Yam
KEGS also had been beaten at Thiau-
mont. At that time Haumont had been
safely held by the Americans for three
days and Thiaumont was already five
miles behind Pershing's lines. Fresnes,
an important city, also was taken by
the Yankees last week, and the line
built by them now runs parallel with
the Hlndenburg line at an average dis
lance of a mile and a half. Every day
the German artillery has been deluging
the old salient with explosive and gas
shells, and the American gunners have
replied most effectively, battering the
towns held by the Huns and several
times breaking up attempted infantry
attacks, with severe loss to the enemy.
The airmen on both sides were extra
ordinarily active and the Americans
carried out n number of highly sue
cessful bombing expeditions over en-
envy territory. I'm one of these, how
ever, a superior force was encountered

dentally, the British reported that in

With the Franco-British pincers

Quentin, the French and Americans
in possession of the western end of
the Chemin-des-Dame and steadily
pushing toward Laon and the Yankees
firmly established on their new lines
in Lorraine, Smelling Metz and threat
ening the great iron and coal fields of
the Briey basin, the German high com
mand last week was still clinging to
the Hindenburg line through most of
its length. The Huns had massed vast
numbers of long-range guns and were
resisting desperately, but their increas-
ing dearth of man power was becom-
ing more evident daily, and the pris-
oners taken, though well fed and
clothed, were respondent and tired.
After several days of preparatory
operations Field Marshal IIaig on We'd
nesday attacked on a 1G-mle front
northwest of st. Quentin, from Gou-
zeaucourt south of Honon Wood Be
fore nightfall the British had smashed
ahead to depth OF three miles, taking
Peizere, La Verguiere, Epehy, Rons-
soy Villeret and other towns and bag
gng more than G,000 prisoners. The
primary object of the drive which was
made in hard rainstorm, was to gain
possession of the old British trench
system Of last March, running along
an important ridge. Many of the best
fighting units in the German army were
opposed to IIaig's men, but the latter at
tanned their object in the main and at
some points went further than had
been expected. The artillery work Of
the Germans especially with high We
locity guns massed behind the st.
Quentin canal, was more severe than
for long time before.
