(By Leased Wire to the New Mexican.)

With the American Army in France-(Tuesday) by the
Associated Press)-The American line now runs $50 to 200
yards east Of Cantigny, as a result Of the successful attack to-
day. The nearest German trench is several hundred yards east
of where the Americans have dug in. The Germans, it has
been found, had many outposts and machine gun emplacements
in Cantigny.
The artillery preparation began at Jas O'Clock one hour
before the infantry went over the top. The lines of Americans
moved forward in perfect order, the tanks in the lead. The
American artillery did magnificent work.
Fierce hand to hand fighting occurred in Cantigny, which
contained a large tunnel and a number of caves. The tunnel
sheltered a hundred Germans. The Americans hurled hand
grenades like baseballs into these shelters.
An officer told the correspondent that the Americans went
forward smilingly but that at the same time their faces reflect
ed the traditional American grit and determination.
Come on Boys-and They Come
Americas first offensive blow was struck in a mist. The French tanks
apparently did not have much to do as the American artillery already had
prepared the way. A bright sun came out and shone IN the Americans as
they dug in in their new positions.
AS the Americans started out across No Mans Land there we're many
Jokes about eating boche for breakfast" The Americans fought as though
they were veterans and there was no hesitation when the officers sprang for
ward and shouted:
Come OF, boys"
Several officers, describing the scene, agreed that the outstanding feature
in their minds was the wonderful morale of the men and their absolute con-
fdence in themselves. The Germans poured machine gn bullets all around
the Americans as they were digging in, but no attention was paid to them as
jokes and qups were handed back and forth.

Paris, May 29-General Foch now has the situation well
in hand and French troops are beginning to gain on the Ger
man advanced forces in a contest of speed. No important line
of communication is yet threatened by the advance of the Ger
man crown prince. Those on the scene declare it is not too
much to say that another fortyeight hours will see the German
drive definitely stopped. High praise is given the French re-
serves for the perfect order in which they are coming into the
fighting line. Not the least encouraging news was the brilliant
success of the Americans in the Mont Didier sector which all
the newspapers feature.
Tt was the first important action carried out alone by the
Americans. All reports agree that they behaved like veterans.
This is pronounced the best augury for the future when the
American help will bear heavily in the balance.
