ASSAULT Is timed
FOR Big DRAFT DAY
Presence Of Secretary
Baker on Front Regard
ed as Significant
GENERAL DRIVE Is
SEEN IN MOVE

WASHINGTON, Sept. i3-Under the
direct personal supervision OF General
Pershing, American forces comprising
the newly formed American field army,
began a powerful converging attack on
both sides of the st. Mihiel salient,
which Germany has maintained intact
since the early days Of the war. The
French, cooperating with the Ameri-
cans. has struck directly at st. Mihiel
itself, the point Of the salient. Unoffi-
cial reports last night stated that st.
Nlhiel has been captured.
Latest advices here indicate that the
offensive operations have brought
marked initial success despite the great
difficulties Of terrain and the strong
means Of defense at the enemys dis
posal.
Military experts here say 1t is too
carly TO Judge Of the scope or success
Of the operation, and as usual they are
cautious about making predictions. The
fact that this is the first distinctly
American major operation on the west
ern front accounts for the eagerness
with which every scrap Of information
was awaited In General staff circles.
There is reason to believe that the
launching of this offensive was timed
TO coincide with registration day In the
United St1tes. 10 is also limited that
Secretary of War Baker knew in adj
vance Of the plan and that his presence
in Europe now resulted from a desire
10 be near the scene when the flrst
American drive began.
So far General stan officers have not
received sufficient official information
TO show definitely the scope OF the Of

TALLY American drive implying maxi
mum efforts OF the new field army or
whether il is sort OF feeling out attack
10 test the German resistance and pave
tho way for more powerful blows to
come.
Particular interest in this attack re-
suits, among other things. from the fact
that the Americans on the eastern side
Of the salient have gone over the top
from the first trenches established by
the American expeditionary force on the
western front. This position has since
| last October, when the Americans TOOK
over the trenches, been referred TO as
Nuitl stlboA.
Launching his converging attacks at
6aybreak, Gen. Pershing appears TO
have gained a foothold on the western
side Of the salient by driving the enemy
| out OF Combres. On the eastern side the
/ American have broken into the German
l defensive positions and pressed for
ward, overcoming all resistance and
capturing the villages OF Thiacourt
