STRIVE TO STEM
YAUKS' ADVANCE:

pre- from Germans,
RIP NEW HOLES IN FOES LINE
Pershing's Men Pass Through the Ar
Come and Advance Rapidly De-
spite Desperate Resistance.

With the American Forces North
west of Verdun, Oct. 1T.-Th" Ger
mans continued their resistance
again the advance of the American
forces on this front
With machine guns, some artillery
fire and counter attacks. the Germans
interposed desperate resistance to
Pershing's men all along the line.
All the counter attacks were easily
repulSed. They had the appearance,
because of the small numbers of men
employed, of being efforts To throw
confusion into the American ranks i'll
order to gain time.
The principal American activity was
on the left of the battle Secto. There
was some activity in the district east
of he River Mouse. The enemy threw
gas shells into the Chatillon woods
and bombarded TullerieS farm.
The advance of the Americans has
been maintained everywhere and some
slight gains were recorded during the
night
The forward elements of the Ameri-
can troops, consisting of machine gun
nerS, are occupying organized shell
holes
The confusion among the German
units, due to the ANAL gamj,inn CT Va
rious organizations. increases daily.
Even this method does not prevent
the strength of the units from decreas-
ing steadily,
An attack by the left wing of the
American forces began early Tuesday
morning east of the Aire river.
BY noon the troops had crossed the
river and were soon about half a mile
northeast of Grandpre There is every
indication Grandpre has been taken.
General Pershing reports the
Kriemhild line has been broken at
several new points in hand-to-hand
fighting in which the Americans took
prisoners.)
The right wing also was fairly ac-
tive throughout the day, but chiefly
in liaison with troops to the west.
The enemy in This sector put up
lively artillery and infantry opposi-
ton and resisted with every ounce of
strength left in his makeshift divis-
ions.
A hard fight was made for the Stra-
tegic Cote de Chatillon, which COM
mands the terrain northward, and
which was attacked by the encircling
method, the Americans taking the
Tuilleries farm to the northeast. This
farm was taken under artillery fire by
both the Germans and Americans late
in the afternoon, and for a time re-
manned in no mans land.
The American advance at this point
involved the capture of LIE Mansard
farm and filtration through the wire
guarding the Sommerance-Landres
road. The opposition against the right
center of the Americans grew less in
the afternoon so that patrols could
push northward and westward to gain
a sure footing in Bantheville and
Bantheville wood
The enemy began again gas Smelling
to check the attack. which now was
fully even with his kriemhild position
or beyond it, but could not prevent the
Americans from capturing Hill 242.
Perhaps the most interesting devel-
opment of the day was the fact Amer
leans and Germans, too, fought with
a fierceness, stubbOrnneSs and tenac-
ity utterly belying any belief that their
part in peace is a matter of the near
future.

There are signs that the Germans
realize the days of their occupation
of Belgium are numbered. They al

to information reaching Paris, the
Germans are preparing to get out of
Bruges and Client and even Brussels.
