ern side OF the salient runs from Thai
couet to the south OF Bouillotville. sc-
cording to cabled reports, and thence
TO Pannes and Nonsard TO the north
Of Montsec. This line shows distinctly
on the map and emphasizes the narrow
ing Of the whole salient from this side.
The impression made so far by the
Americans OD the western side is less
pronounced, througi the capture Of
Combres show a penetration OF about
three miles into the German positions.
The mention OF American cavalry pa
trolls northwest OF POnt-a-MOussOn on
the road north OF Bois Communaux in
dIcates that the force Of the American
thrusts has torn such gaps in the Ger
man line that the fighting now is in
the open, which brings Americans in
their element. This, IL is explained,
would imply that the German trench
systems which have been constructed
and strengthened for three years OF
more have been reduced In few hours
by Pershing's men.
The impression In general staff circles
on the basis Of fragmentary reports OF
an unofficial character so far received
is that the American field army has
begun its major attack, but officers re-
frain from accepting this as definite
fact in advance OF official adyices.
It has been known here for some time
that Pershing's field army was in The
process Of formation. Divisions which
had been brigaded with the British an,
French have been gradually withdraw
and General Peyton G.. March. chief o.
STAFF. announced recently that 90 per
cent OF the American forces in France
were now absorbed by the field army
and were under General Pershing's di-
rect command.
Ninety per cent OF the American COM
blatant troops in France would bring
the number under Pershing's command
10 approximately 100000. Nothing de-
finite is known here as TO the actual
figure. but it is assumed that the Amer
lean field army has been built up into
a striking force Of tremendous power
preparatory TO launching the American
offensive against the enemy.
The attack on the St. Mihiel sector Is
linked here with the operations on the
French and British fronts for the rea-
son that II the Germans rush reinforce
ments to attempt 10 stave off the effects
Of the American attack they will weak

Man Power

They're talking now of drafting
men whose years have numbered
fifty; and hope springs in my
breast again, the prospects now
seem nifty. Before this beastly
war is done fool rules will go
a-skiting, and loyal gents who
weigh a ton may go and do some
fighting. They've barred me out
because I'm fat and deaf and
broken-winded; and rules respon-
sible for that l hope will be re-
scinded. When first we broke into
the game, Apollos were demand
ed; eve do not want the old or
lame'-the officers were candid:
f'No man is fit to chase the Hun
unless he's like Narcissus." And
so>I dropped my sword and gun,
and went home to the missus.
They're mighty choice" said
Jane, my lad, to turn down beefy
writers; but wait while, and
they'll be glad to get such deadly
fighters. And now it seems that
Jane was right; the sergeant's
growing thrifty, and he admits a
gent may fight who gives his age
as fifty. And pretty soon the fat
and bald, the spawned and the
sweenied will from the paths of
peace be called, by Uncle Sam
subpoenaed. For paths of peace

tial ardor; I long to STAY the
