GERMAN OPINION OF YANKEES.
Disclosed in Documents Signed by
Intelligence Officer.

With the British Army in France
Oct. 20.-Just what the Germans
think of American soldiers with a
few side remarks regarding the St
Mihiel operations is disclosed in a
confidential document signed by the
chief intelligence officer of the Nine
teeth German army which has been
captured by Americans fighting on
the British front.
The document prefaces a discus
sion Of the St. Mihiel attack by ad-
uniting that the number of Ameri-
cans in reserve on that occasion was
unknown. 1t then takes up the d.
visions which carried out the assault.
1t says the first, second and forty
second are tried divisions; the fourth
and twenty-sixth are fighting divis-
ions which had already proved their
qualities in battles on other parts of
the front.
The fifth, eighty-ninth and nine
teenth are described as divisions new
er identified in battle, but with some
good experience in the line, and the
thirty-fourth rs in reserve.
The document then discussed the
details of the operations, admitting
that when the Americans reached
the entire St. Mihiel salient
rendered untenable and, there
fore, it's evacuation was ordered and
the retreat carried out according to
plan.
A little further on the order, which
was distributed generally throughout
the German army, has this to say of
the American soldier:
He obviously is very much afraid
of being taken prisoner. He defends
himself violently to the last against
this danger and does not surrender.
This seems to be the result of propa-
ganda picturing cruel treatment if
he falls into German hands.
"The American is expert in. hand
ling a machine gun, is firm on the de-
fensive and develops a strong power
of resistance from his very nero
The bearing of the infan-
try indicates slight military training.
The artillery was at it's best as long
as it remained at it's original posi-
ton during preparation for attack.
The methods of fire were good. 1t was
very quick in getting on opportune
targets, this apparently being due to
the lavish employment of technical
devices. Within a minimum period
the Americans were able to furnish a
well directed fire.
"Liaison between the infantry and
artillery was perfect. When infantry
ran into machine gun nests it imme-
fell back and a new artillery
preparation from accompanying bat
teries followed very promptly.
"a large number of tanks were as
sembled for attack, but only a small
number came at US, as large infantry
masses already had achieved the de-
sired end"

from the vault, from which hung shred

voice, like that Of Moses on Sinai. was
