PerShing and Baker ''Walk''
 the Bridges
Germans Left St. Mihiel at Midnight and Left Ter
 TOT Behind Them.

American Army Headquarters, Sept. IA (Reuters. s.)-General Per- shing, General Petain and Secretary of War Baker made their entry into St. Mihiel yesterday afternoon over a war-wrecked bridge, only few rick ety blanks of which were left. They came over virtually the only means of entry left, for it was impossible as a rule to enter the town from the west except on floats, for not only had the stone bridge over the Mouse been blown up years ago, but the three makeshift bridges there had been smashed by shell fire.
 The capture of St. Mihiel after its four years of martyrdom is regarded as one of the most striking incidents of it's kind in the records of the war. The Germans left the town at 8 p. m. on Thursday. They had made life a nightmare for the inhabitants who
