Every Objective Reached.

London, Sept 14-Twelve thousand
prisoners have been taken by the
Americans in their offensive at st.
Mihiel
The entire salient now has been
captured
Additional large numbers of Ger
man prisoners are still coming in.
All the villages in the salient ESfe
captured by the Americans and the
front in that sector was reduced
from some forty miles to little less
than twenty miles.
Latest dispatches from the front
show that the battle line now runs
directly from Pagny on the Moselle
river to Hattonyille and then along
Pagny, a town on the Moselle River,
Is on the western border of Germany.
Most of the villages captured by
the Americans were left in good con-
dition by the Germans. The town
of St Mihiel was practically undam-
aged
The Germans left the railroad from
Verdun to Commercy, Toul and
Nancy intact and this road will prove
a great help to the entente allies.
Another valuable line of rail from
Thaucourt to ST. Mihiel, by which
the Germans fed their troops in the
salient also was left intact
The operation Of the Americans
must be regarded as big local Sue
cess.
All the objectiveS were reached.
The claim was made by the Ger
name in the official communication
that they foresaw the evacuation of
the ST Mihiel salient and prepared
for it for as many years as the war
has lasted hardly is borne out in view
of the number of prisoners and guns
taken. AT The sane time the fac;

eight miles north OF the old battle
line, was captured, dispatches from
the front say. Beney, HendicOurt
and the Thiaucourt wood were also
captured At Nationwide and Dom
boux the Germans blew up their am
munition dumps
German prisoners say the American
attack was expected, but that it was
delivered so ropidly that they had no
time to put up stubborn resistance
when they were ordered to. Pannes,
which was energetically defended by
the Germans, was easily captured by
the Americans.
On the west side of the salient,
where the country is much more diff
cult and where the German resistance
cans made an advance of three miles
on twelve-mile front
Large quantities OF German sup
plies and material have been secured
but there has been no time to check
them up. The battle so far has been
wholly normal
Of the prisoners taken $500 were
captured in one district near Mout-
see by an American division. Among
the prisoners was Major Srhmesig, a
count. He and his staff had their
baggage packed and were waiting to
be captured.
In a majority of cases, the prison,
ers put up comparatively little resist
ance before Surrerdering. In many
instances. detachments which had
escaped the barrage in their trenches
and dugouts made a perfunctory re-
sistance with machine guns and then
held up their hands

HAIC BEATS BACK
ATTACKS OF ENEMY
British Hold Gains on the
Cambria Front.

London, Sept. 14.-German troops
delivered an attack, with the cooper
alton of airplanes, on Havrincourt
southwest of Cambria, recently taken
by the British.
The attack was repulsed with great
loss to the Germans
Field Marshal Haig announced this
in his official statement.
Farther south on the front opposite
ST. Quentin, the British have gained
possession of HolmOn wood.
A German attack opposite Moeu-
vres, on the canal line west of Cam
brai failed completely.
British troops have captured the
town of Jeancourt in the st. Quen-
tin sector north of Vermand.
In Flanders the British made prog
ress pushing ahead west of Auchy in
the La Bassee region.
~ T,ssnre are still some pockets of the
enemy to clear out at various points
about Havrincourt, but the operation
there as whole was completely sue
ceSSful
A counter attack against Moeuvres
which was begun at six O'Clock in the
evening was disastrous for the Ger
mans. Enemy troops had been brought
up for the charge and were about to
advance when they were detected by
British artillerymen, who cut loose
with a terrific harrage, inflicting
heavy casualties. The attack was
completely repulsed.
Some few of the harder Germans
fought their way into the village, but
they We're negligible in number and
easily dealt with
