 From Battle
Wounded Americans Arrive In Paris and Give I'm pression That St. Mi
 hiel Big Victory.

Paris, Sept. 13.-(Reuter )-About a hundred of the. first American wounded arriving in the rear from the St. Mihiel sector give the impress sion that the battle was great vic- tory and full of promise for the fu- ture.
 The American troops exhibited splendid dash, some of the regiments moving to the assault with flags fly ing and singing the "Marseillaise."
 One of the principal points of sup port in the enemy's defense was talk en at the point of bayonets.
 Despite fierce resistance the Ger mans were completely overthrown and suffered exceptionally heavy loss eS.
 The American units co-operated splendidly with the French.
 One American officer was wounded during the hottest part of the bat tle,and relates that a small French detachment found itself in difficult ties ina wood full of machine guns.
 Without waiting for orders. the Americans Advanced spontaneously, to turn the position, and, reaching the rear of the wood, precipitatcd themselves on the enemy and slaugh- tered the gunners on their weapons.
 According to La Liberte. regarding the capture of certain town. the first officer to enter at the head of his toops, was Captain Michael Gle menceau. son of the French prime minister.
 This town was stubbornly defend ed by two German divisions, great numbers of whom remained as pri- soners, in addition to the large num- bers killed.

Assisted by the French.

With the American Army in Lor- raine, Sept. 13 G p. m.).-Brilliantly supported by the French, General Per- shing has accomplished the "limited objectives" of the operations under taken in the St. Mihiel region.
 The two forces pushing respectively southeast and northwest took position after position from the enemy. advan- cling with rapidity precision and dash that disheartened him after his reverses of recent months.
 Yield Much Ground. Few late actions have yielded so much ground of so important na- ture.
 The preliminary artillery work in the dark hours of Thursday morning was demoralizing in the thoroughness of it's destructiveness.
 Enemy Was Prepared.
 The enemy was prepared for a pos- sible blow in this region, but four hours of almost unsurpassed s11allinq with gas and from guns of all cali-s bers, left him powerless to bring up his reserves or maintain communicas tions.
 His roads were torn up, his supplies and material destroyed, his ammuni- tion dumps sent skyward, and villages behind his lines fired.
 PrisOners-Supplies Seized.
 A large number of prisoners, quan- titles of supplies and many guns fell into the hands of the allies.
 Eventual stabilization here will free important lines of rail communica- tion as we'll as roadways, and leave in the possession of the French and Americans high ground which will bei of great military advantage when the wet season begins.
 Action Been Normal.
 In the military sense, the action has been normal in all it's aspects, except in the rapidity of execution.
 This does not mean that there has been no hard fighting.
 There has been fighting, both bril- liant and fierce, because one vitally important point was held by famous and well tried German division.
 Can't Withstand Americans.
 Nevertheless, the division was un- able to withstand the steady and un- swerving advance of the Americans thrown against them and in addition lost many prisoners to the Americans. The only enemy weakness was in his artillery, the reply of his big guns being efficient and spasmodic throQgh- out, \evidencing that he had previous ly removed the greater part to a saf- CT position.
 But his machine guns were vicious, enough to compensate for this.
