GREAT FORCE CONCENTRATED
AT NIGHT FOR ATTACK


With the American Army, Lorraine,
Sept 13--The smoke screen of the
American gunners placed about
Montzc appears to have been success
full in preventing the enemy observa-
ton from that commanding point,
The frort under attack is about As
miles in length. The French were in
line at allotted points but the distri-
button of forces was such that when
ever the Germans turned they faced
American troops.
Just how much the Germans were
surprised is uncertaint The mobiliza-
ton of big American and French
forces was accomplished however al
most wholly in the night marches,
oftentimes without even the popula
ton of the districts through which
they passed being aware fanny move

regarded as the continuing phase of
the battle begun last summer.
Secretary Baker with several nota-

battle from vantage point in the.
French fort close behind the mid
die of the lnie.
The front was SO extended that WV:
id bands of light soon stretched from
far eastward to westward lighting up
the clouds. Precisely at five o'clock
he thunder of the guns stopped and in
sudden silence the Americans went
over the top.
All along the lines could be heard
the chattering Of the German ma
chine guns. Then suddenly the
thunder commenced again wllen
barrage was laid down to protect the
soldiers as they approached the Ger

ENEMY TRIED TO
SAVE THEIR
GUNS
AMERICAN ADVANCE is NOW RAP
I'D

London, Sept. 13.1:3o p. m.-Asso-
cfated Press) --Pershing's forces in
the attack on the southern side of the
St. MiheI salient have advanced a
distance of eight miles. The assault
was made on a front of ID miles. This
morning the Americans are making
rapid progress in the continuation Of
the drive.
German prisoners say the attack
was expected but was delivered so rap
idly that they had no time to put up
a stubborn resistance when they were
ordered to do so.
Pannes was easily captured by the
Americans. The Americans are re-
ported to have captured Vgnaulles
seven and half miles north of lei
vary through which the former line
ran, also Beney, Haudicourt and Bois-
De-Thaiucourt. If this be true, the
neck of the salient has been narrow
ed to six miles, and if there are two
German divisions reported last night
to be in the salient, it is decidedly i'm
probable that they will be able to get
away.
Pershing's troops so far have cap
,tured ninety-five hundred prisoners
and sixty German guns.
