ISOLATED PrSss.)-Thirty-six hours of
fighting netted General Pershing's
forces approximately 1855 square miles
OF territory in the st. Mihiel salient,
which had been in German hands
since the autumn3o 1914.
Following the American troops
through the captured villages, the cor
respondent found on every hand evil
dences Of long control by the Ger
mans. Bills for electric lighting and
supplies had been paid with curious
currency. IN which the Germans had
printed French monetary terms.
The Inhabitants Of the salient were
absolutely ignorant Of the events OF
history in the last -four years. knowing
Here the sad stories heard in the
whole Of the reclaimed districts OF
France were accentuated by the long
years or German control which had
isolated the people from news of rela-
tives and Of world happenings.
Every American entering the viii
lagos experienced the same reception
as that given to Secretary of War Bak-
err and General Pershing and their
party. Aged msn and. women seized
and kissed the hands Of the officers
and correspondents, crying and laugh
ing, the CAUTIOUSLY aged children imi-
Etating their elders. unknowingly.
For their y compatriots. however,
the greeting was deeper and the

were even%more affected than those
who had been delivered.
