Exploits Of Americans on Brit

Of Operations by Field
Marshal. b.

London, Oct. 20.-A resume by
Field Marshal Haig OF the opera
tions of the American troops fight
ing on the British, front says:
"In the past three weeks the 9th
and 30th divisions of the second
American corps, operating with the
fourth British army, have taken part
with great gallantry and success in
three major offensives, besides be-
ing engaged in a number Of lesser
attacks. In the course OF this fight
ing they displayed soldierly quali-
ties of high order and have ma
terially assisted in the success Of
our attacks.

dash and bravery in the great at
tack of September % in which the
Hindenburg line was broken, and
having on this occasion captured
the villages of Bellicourt and Matt
roy with large number of prison.
ers, on October 8 the troops Of the
second American army corps again
attacked in the neighborhood of
Montbrehain. 7
'In three days of successful fight
ing they completed an advance of
10 miles from Morhbrehain to St.
Sbuplet, overcoming determined, re-
sistance. and capturing several
strongly defended villages and
woods. Throughout the past three
days the two American divisions
have again attacked daily and on
each occasion with complete sue
cess, though the enemy's resistance
was most obstinate.
Fighting their way forward from
St. Souplet to the high ground west,
of the Sambre canal they have bro
ken the enemy's resistance at all
points. beating of many counter at
tacks and realizing an advance of
nearly five miles. Over 5000 pris-
oners and many guns have been
taken by the two American divis-
ions in these several operations"

Oct. 20.-Just what the Germans
think of American soldiers. with a
few side remarks regarding the St.
Mihiel operations, is disclosed in a
confidential document signed by the
chief intelligence officer of the 10Th
German army which has beeh cap
tured by Americans fighting on the
British front.
The document admits that when
the Americans reached Thiaucourt
the entire St. Mihiei salient was
rendered untenable and therefore its
Evacuation was ordered and the re-
fsreat carried out according to plan.
The order has this to say of the
American soldier:
Vile obviouslyis very much afraid
| ofbeing taken prisoner. He defends
himself violently to the last against
lthis danger and does not surrender.
This seems to be the result Of
Propaganda pfturing cruel treat

Gus machine guns. The bearing OF
the infantry indicates slight military
training. The artillery was at its
best as long as it remained at its
original position during preparation
for an attack. The methods of fire
were good. 1t was. very quick in
getting on opportune targets, this
apparently being due to the lavish
employment of technical devices.
Within a minimum period the Amer
leans were able to furnish we'll di-
rected fire. .
"Liaison between the infantry and
artillery was perfect. When in
fantry ran into machine gun nests
it Immediately fell back and a new
artillery preparation from accom-
panying batteries followed very
promptly.
"a large number of tanks were as
sembled for attack, but only small
number came at us, as large infantry
masses already had achieved the
desired end"
A sentence in the document says:
I'm general it should be noted the
American is quite honorable-he
does not fire on stretcher,bearers.'

With the Canadian Forces in
France, Oct. 20.-Although lie
Cateau was not Systematically de-
stroyed by the Germans there
were individual acts of vandalism
both there and in adjoining vii
lagos. Perhaps the whole war has
not produced another act so vile
as that which is vouched for by
French official investigation.
In Montigny, due west of lie
Cateau, a German officer lived
eighteen months with a French
family. He was a pleasant fel-
low, taking his meals with the
family and frequently performing
on the piano for them.
One evening he failed to return
for dinner and members of the
family waited in vain for him,
and at midnight retired to bed.
At 3 o'clock in the morning the
house was blown up by a mine.
Everyone of this family was killed
with the exception of an g.
months-old child. The family
consisted of several old men and
women and children.

Northern Belgium Being Rap.
idly Cleared Of Enemy; Fall
of Ghent at Early Date
Predicted.
BY Associated Press.

Northern Belgium is being rapid
ly cleared of the enemy by British
and Belgian forces. Belgians have
occupied Zeebrugge and Heyst;
have crossed the Ghent-Bruges
canal and on their left have reach
ed the Dutch frontier, where $4,000
Germans, cut off from their retreat
by the advance northward from
Eecloo, are reported to have with
drawn into Holland, where they
were interned.
Client, it is predicted from British
headquarters will fall at an early
date and the French, by swift
stroke along an extended line, have
put their forces within two miles
of Tournai. Thielt is in the hands
Of the French, despite stubborn en-
emy resistance, as we'll as the high
ground round about.
British troops have crossed the
Selle river, have reconquered So
lesmes and have had hard fighting
not only in the section around that
town but at St. Python, to the east.
Here the British have captured
more than 1000 prisoners.
Since the beginning of the opera
tons in Flanders the allies have
made an advance /of more than 50
miles over Sc mile front, clearing
all of western Flanders, as we'll as
the coast, of the enemy. Fighting
desperately to hold their positions
to the north and south of LIE Cateau,
the Germans on a front Of DO miles
have massed nearly a half million
men. Their line is vital to the Ger
mans but is just as vital to the sue
cess of the allied arms, which are
steadily pushing the enemy back
and b breaking through at strategical
points.
The British third army is smash
ing its way forward to the south of
Valenciennes. Success, so far has
attended their effort and the turn
ing of this line will prove a source
of great danger to vast masses of

Washington, Oct. 20.-Requests
that more goernment war work be
diverted to western states was laid
before Assistant Secretary of War
Crowell, Chairman Baruch of the
War Industries board and officials
of the War department today by
delegation of western senators.
Less congestion, more abundant
labor and greater supplies of cleo

given by the western senator's for
diverting war work to the western
portion of the country. It was said

With the American Army North

Freya defense position at severa
places, the Americans on Sunda,
having made slight advances or
the northern edge of the Bois de
Bantheville and in the region o.
Bourrut, both of which points are
touched by the Freya line.
After an artillery preparation the
Americans cleaned up the Boi:
rapids, taking more than so pris
oners. The most of the resistance
encountered was from German ma
chine gun nests. There were artil
lery outbursts at intervals during
the afternoon.
A German attack in the region ol
Grandpre was repulsed. The Amer
leans, for strategic reasons, at first
gave a little ground; then rushed
forward and swept the Germans of
their feet.
Drive Enemy From Woods.
Activity on the American sector
west of the Meuse was limited to.
day on the American side to the
consolidation and reorganization OF
positions recently taken. On the
other side, the Germans occupied
themselves in strengthening their
positions. ~
The American consolidation work
was confined almost entirely to
Loges wood. On the right of the
wood, after an artillery lombard
ment of two and half hours, the
Americans began driving the Ger
mans from Rappes wood.
All signs of a probable German
withdrawal to the Freya position,
except on the right, have ceased
and the enemy now seems deter
mined to hold his present positions
as long as possible. The German
counter-attacks are becoming more
and more infrequent and it is learned
that instructions have been issued to
the Germans not to undertake coun-
ter-attacks unless they are positively
assured of success.
Artillery and aerial activity was
below normal TODAY because of the
poor visibility, due to the rainy
weather.
Wage Duel Of Big Guns.
The enemy augmented ais re-
sistance against the American ad-
vance by heavy artilley action yes
terday. This was responded to in
kind, so that a duel of big guns
was in progress all along the line.
The German guns were active
during the night especially east Of

of the front lines were shelled in

enormous.

French Repulse Counter Attacks.
Paris, Oct. 20.-German counter
attacks near Verneuil and north of
St. Germanmont, on the Serre-Aisne
front, have been repulsed by the
French, who took prisoners, says
the official statement from the war
office today. There has been no in
fantry activity elsewhere.
Gains are recorded by the war
office tonight between the Disc and
the Serre in Sundays fighting. The
French have made important prog
ress east\of Vouziers, capturing nu-
merous heavy guns.
Despite the abominable weather
in French Flanders, the British
armies are progressing in the re-
gion of Tournai with clock-like reg
ularity, capturing today more than
10 villages, including Nechin, Wan
nehain, Froidmont and Froyennes,
the latter mile northwest of Tour
mai
The river Selle has been crossed
at several points between Haspres
and Saulzoir by the armies operat-
ing in the Denain region and the {
advance steadily continues in the
direction of Valenciennes, in spitek
of the stubborn resistance of the
Germans in this sector and torren4

German Defense Broken.
The Germans are fighting def
perately to hold their positions
the front north and south OF I
Cateau which has an important
bearing on the situation elsewhere
between the Meuse and the North
sea. On front of 10 miles the
Germans have>massed 40 divisions
in an effort to check the allies. This
is said to be new record of dens-
ity for defending forces.
The general attack of the Brit
ish, Americans. and French yester-
day resulted in extensive breaches
being made in the enemy defenses.
