AMERICAN DRIVE
Confined from Page one.l

in getting their artillery away over the
lone railroad line at their disposal.
They were working feverishly last
night to move the guns out thru
VigneulIes, but their way past now
seems blocked by the continued
trench u1ortars and a great quantity of
machine guns are already in Ameri-
can hands, besides the cannon re-
ported taken. The other railway line
in the salient. running thru Thiau-
court, was early blocked by the Ameri-
can capture of that place.
French and British Advance.
While the Americans are thus driv-
ing forward in the successful carrying
out of the first thoroly American of
fensive movement under General
Pershing's command, the French and
the British are continuing to make
progress along the north and south
section of the battle front where the
fighting has centered AL thru the year
up to the time the American drive was
started.
French troops last night close in
toward st. Quentin, capturing the town
Of Savy, little more than IN miles
from St. Quentin outskirts.
The British for their part advanced
further to the northwest of st. Quen-
tin, taking the village of Jean Court
and gaining possession of Holnon
wood. Further north the British were
subjected to German attacks in con-
siderable force, in one Of which an as
sault on Havrincourt, which the Brit
sisted by a squadron of low-nying air.

with very heavy losses
Further German attempts to dis
lodge the British along the canal du
Nord line west of Cambria were frus-
trated by the British fire.
(By the Associated Press.)
+ London, Sept. Is 1880 p. m.)-Gen-
eral Pershing's forces, in their attack
on the southern side of the st. Mihiel
salient, have advanced for a distance
of eight miles. The assault was made
on a front of fourteen miles. The
Americans were making rapid prgress
in the continuation of their drive.
If these places really have been cap
tured. the neck of the St. Mihiel
salient has been narrowed to less than
six miles and If the two German
divisions reported last night to be in
the salient still are there, it is de-
cidedly improbable that they will be
able to get away.
Blowing Up Ammunition.
The Germans are blowing up the
ammunition dumps at Hatteville and
Domboux.
General Pershing's troops so far
have captured $500 prisoners and
have taken sixty German guns.
On the west side of the st. Mihiel
salient where the country is much
more difficult and where the German
resistance has been more determined
the Americans have made an advance
of three miles on a twelve mile front
German prisoners say the American
attack was expected. but that it was
delivered so rapidly that they had no
time to put up q stubborn resistance
when they were ordered to. Pannes
which was theoretically defended by
the Germans, was easily captured by
the Americans.
The Americans are reported to have
captured Vigneulles, seven and halt
miles north of Xivray, thru which the
former line ran. General Pershing's
troops are also said to have captured
Beney, Haudicourt and the Bots De
Thiaucourt.

HUN BASE SEIZED
Hamburg Line Plant in the
Island of st. Thomas.
Constructed for Use of German
Navy in War.

Washington, Sept. ia potential
German naval base in the Virgin
islands has been seized by the alien
property custodian, and will be used
for the needs of the American navy
and customs department. The base
consists of land, buildings, docks,
warehouses, large water tanks and
cisterns, lighters, loading parapher-
MALTA and coaIing facilities formerly
owned by the neutrality-suspicious.
line.
Concrete Gun Bases.
In announcing seizure of the marine
plant, which is located at St. Thomas,
Alien Property Custodian Palmer said
that Germany considered that it ad-
mitted of possibilities as naval base
was shown by the fact that their
principal building commanding the
harbor is of REINFORCED concrete. and
the plaza in front of it is said to have
an S-foot foundation of concrete, sfit
for gun emplacements."
Executed Fake Sale.
After the United States acquired
it appeared that it would declare war
on Germany, Mr.. Palmer said. the
Hamburg-American line agent, who
also was the German consul, sold
the plant to the lines lawyer, a Dan
ish citizen named Jorgensen. The sole
consideration mentioned was a note
for 1910, 900 which Jorgensen was said
to have given the German company.
This note was payable three months
after date, and renewable every three
months until after the war and bore
no interest, Mr.. Palmer said.
Darwin Curry. the alien property
custodian's representative at st.
Thomas. learned of the transactiop
and Jorgensen finally executed a deed
to the alien property custodian, but
not. Mr.. Palmer said, until after he
had protested and sought refuge in his
Danish citizenship. The alien prop
erty custodian assumed whatever obli-
cations were attached to the note
Jorgensen had given the German COM
pany and the note itself was seized.
U. S. VIII Build Naval Base.
One of the reasons for the purchase
of the Danish West Indies by the
United States was the fact that st.
Thomas offered a natural base for
the defense for the Panama canal and
it is the intention of the government
to fortify the harbor and establish a
naval station there.
