With the First American Army in
France, Nov. 3.-"Though the mills of
God grind slowly, yet they grind eX-
ceedingly small" This maxim might
be applied TO the progress Of the first
American army north of Eerdun.
With relentless strength, with fiery
ardor unquenched by villainous wealth
err physical fatigue or the sight of
death in most hideous forms. our
American boys are gradually grinding
to dust the enemys power of resist
ance.
on either side of the Meuse, Prus-
sianism is battling with the fury born
of despair. The empires finest sol
diers have been slaughtered in droves,
in order that their hard-pressed COM
rades to the west and north might
escape the trap in which they would
be caught were Pershing S divisions toI
forge ahead too fast.
Beating Back Odds of Eve to Ono.
Three days ago sixteen. today
nineteen German divisions are striv-
ing with dogged desperation to bar
our advance. At several points one
American battalion is facing and fore
ing backward four German battalionS,
which. taking into account the pro-
portionate strength of the opposition
units, means about five Germans to
two Americans.
One of the most distinguished of the
kaiser's commanders, General Won
Marwitz, hurriedly summoned from
the scenes of past triumphs against
the British, has just taken over the di
rection of the enemy forces on this
front. His instructions, as he passed
them down to his subordinate gener-
ais are to prevent the Americans from
realizing any further apprecabe adj
vance. whatever the cost Of holding
them may be-"
Above all, the German high COM
mand is resolved to keep us from
attaining the heights between DanVil-
lers and Dun-sur Mouse in the east
and between Dun-sur-M euse and Blu
Fancy in the west. Losing these hills
the foe would lose his only means
of bringing supplies to all his armies
iE line from Flanders to Argonne, for
from the slopes our guns would knock
to pieces that all-important lateral
channel Of communication, the Me-
zieres-L onguyon railroad.
