Washington, Oct. 5.--The great
trunk railway system near the Bel
glan border which feeds the whole
central arch of the German lines in
France is the goal of the first Ameri-
can army, toward which General
March, chief of staff, said today. is
making rapid progress. Official dis
patches show the Americans to be
eighteen miles from the nearest point
o9 the important railroad, General
March said. Reports today have In
dicated that despite stiffening Ger
man resistance the American forces
are pushing onward and the distance
to the goal Is being cut down rapidly.
To back up that American effort.
General March showed that the flow
of American troops to France con-
tinues at rate of more than quar-
ter of a million month. A total of
1,S50,OO0 men have been embarked,
ne said.
Pride In Americans.
The chief OF staff plainly made ev-
ident his great pride in the deeds

vital factor in the stirring events
which he described.

from all fronts has been excellent"
he said.
The three drives begun by the
allies on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day have moved our line forward on
front wider than ever. affecting
practically the entire line from the
sea to Verdun.
"Petween the Argonne forest and

months that object has been achieved
by having one force to guide the

GERMANS ATTACK over eleven mile FRONT

OF what the enemy is to expect from
the American army
During battle unusual stories al
ways crop up, but the following is what
the correspondent heard from an un-
questionable source and it is said to
have been verified:
In one OF the periods when the
American engineers and their Cana o.
dian comrades in arms were holding a
position, what appeared to be a British
staff motor drove up. The driver was
in the uniform Of British soldier and
man in the tonneau was in the uni
form OF a British STAFF officer. The
officer stepped out and asked for tho
commanding officer. He was taken to
a Canadian officer near by The staff
officer ordered the commander to re-
tire four li!ometers saying that the
Germans were pressing on both fanks
and he might be cut off.
"Fcr some reason the Canadian
commander became suspicious. lie
had the staff officer searched when
the latter failed to produce his au-
thority and papers We're found on him
proving that he was a German officer
He and his chauffeur were immedi-
ately shot"
American engineer officers are said
to have been present when This Incl
dent occurred.

A Portuguese sector is included in the

East Of LaPlantin and east of Pc

gained footing in advanced defenses
according to the latest reports and a
herce battle was raging all along the
sector. LaPlantin is northwest OF
Givenchy and Petition lies to the east
of LaVentie.
At Givenchy and on the left OF the
front attacked the allies apparently
are holding their ground in the heavy
lighting which was reported to be
especially bitter east of Festubert The
Portuguese were being supported by
British troops
The attack was preceded by a vio-
