WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
NORTH OF ST. QUENTIN, Sunday.
September 29.-American divisions
brilliantly attacked on a front of con-
siderable length in conjunction with
the British this morning. At night
fall they were reported to have
gained their detectives only by sheer
might and after killing largo numbers
of the enemy who tried to halt them.
Elsewhere along the front between
St Quentin and the sea important
gains were made today and tonight
1t seemed that the German resistance,
at least for the moment, was slack
ened off. British, Belgians and Amer
leans had the Germans on the go all
day. The situation contains so many
possibilities that anything may hap
pen any moment.
Meet Strong Resistance.
The resistance encountered by the
American troops was as strong as
anything offered by the Germans for
many weeks. The Americans, as we'll
as the British, were held up at many
places from time to time by machine
gun fire. In some places this OPPOSE
ton was overcome by f1anking op-
erations, and in others quickly or
ganized storming parties rushed the
enemy and silenced him.
One American unit is reported to
have passed through LIE Catelet and
to have reached Gouy. Other units
which stormed and captured Nauroy
have passed through LIE Caberet wood.

the same end-to wear down the en-

Marshal Foch alone knows when
the allies will strike the decisive
blow. The enemy is still fighting
well. He is still offering splendid
resistance west of the Argonne. but
how long can he keep it up?

Expert commentators agree that
