Sixteen Months of Vast Effort
Have Produced Immense
Fighting Force.
STANDS BATTLE TEST
United States Now Has Produced
Third Great Force, Backed by
Its Own Supplies, and lie
Striking for Victory.

Washington, Sept. 14.-When Gen.
eral Pershing's forces struck their
first independent blow In France
against the German army, 16 months
Of vast wal effort by the United States
reached it's first goal.
Reports show that success was
meeting the American commanders
effort to fling the enemy out of the
sharp salient thrust In behind the
fortress Of verdun in the first year
Of the war.
But OF ever greater significance TO
government officials was the fact that
the all-AmericaR attack meant that
the months of ceaseless toll and effort
have now brought forth a third great
organized army, backed by its own
supplies and millions more soldiers IL
needed, which has taken its place be-
sides the French and British armies
and 10 striking for decisive victory for
democratic ideals.
General March, chief of staff, and
his officers were gathered about the
great raj maps, tracing out the lines
pf the conflict from press accounts as
they were received.
President Wilson visited acting Sec
rotary Crowell and there is no doubt
that he was told just what General
Pershing had accomplished and what
might be expected to develop from
this blow
Uses Foch's Pincer Tactics.
First reports were vague. They told
merely that the American army had
launched an attack around the st.
Mihiel salient, the only sharp thrust
toward the heart OF France that re-
manned to the German leaders to show
for their offensive efforts since the
war began. 1t seemed possible that
the objective of the attack was Metz,
Just beyond the German border on the
Moselle river.
Later accounts made IL clear, how.
aver, that for his first blow General
Pershing had determined to employ
the pincer tactics Marshal Foch has
now used with repeated success In
hurting the foe back from the Marine
and out OF the Picardy and Flanders
sslients. The chance lay ready to
the American leaders hand.
The American attack, as 1t now
shapes up. is q major action, 1t is said,
and there Is no doubt that the strong.
est American forces yet employed are
engaged. Possibly a quarter of a mil
lion American troops either are in ac-
tion or in close reserve.

use Of pruos Increasing.

Washington, Sept. IA. - Habitual
use of morphine, cocaine. heroin and
preparations containing other mar.
cotic drugs has increased rapidly in
the United States within the last two
years and a drastic anti-narcotic law
must be enacted at this session OF
Congress to check the wholesale
spread of the habit. These are con.
illusions made public by a special
treasury investigating committee, to
gether with a partial report on the
number of drug addicts actually under
physicians treatment In the u. 8.

Austria safe Under Hapsburos.

Amsterdam, Sept. 14.-Baron Won
Hussarek, the Austrian premier, in .
speech at q dinner given to the group
Of German journalists now visiting
Austria, is quoted in q dispatch from
Vienna a. saying: Under the glo.
rious H~apsburg scepter for centuries
Austria has become a state OF
strength which will enable 1t to meet
every defaming catchword, to expel
and overcome disease bearers and to
offer strong resistance to all attempts
to break It up. no matter from what
side they come"

Paris, Sept. 14.-The st. Mihiel

reduced. The censor will not per-
NIT the publication of the names
of the towns and villages forming
the present American line In the
st. MihieI sector.
("Reduced" is a term in military
science meaning completely cap
tured.")
London, Sept. 14.-The American of.
fensive In Lorraine was reported to
be continuing its brilliantly success
full course.
Already $500 prisoners and go guns
have been taken.
Many Teutons Believed Trapped.
The rapid progress Of the American
forces on both sides of the salient
now affords hope that still greater
numbers of Germans may be caught
In the loop upon which General ]. j.
Pershing's troops are closing In.
The Americans now appear to have
made an advance of some eight miles
on the southern side of the salient.
This would bring them to the impor-
tant town of y~igneulles, lying on the
only railway line in the loop, which
town today indeed is officially report
ed In American hands.
Dominating Points Captured.
South of vigneulles. the town of
Heudicourt is declared to be in Amer
lean possession while to the east to-
ward Thiaucourt, General ]. j. Perish
ing's troops have acquired the impor-
tant Thiaucourt wood and the town
of Beney.
Meanwhile on the westerly side OF
the salient, where the going is more
difficult, the American advance on a
I2-mile front is understood to have
scored a gain of three miles. The
converging operations thus appear to
have resulted In the closing OF the
neck of the loop to a point where 1t Is
now not much more than Ave miles
across.
Two Hun Divisions In Peril.
Two German divisions were report
ed to be still In this part of the salient
and IL they have not succeeded in ex'
tracing themselves their capture
seems probable.
The Germans have had great diff
Guilty In getting their artillery away
over the lone railroad line at their dis
posal. They were working feverishly
last night to move the guns through
y~igneulles, but their way past now
seems blocked by the continued Amer
lean progress today.
Big Munitions Haul Made.
Numbers OF trench mortars and
great quantity OF machine guns are
already In American hands. besides
the cannon reported taken. The rail
way line In the salient, running
through Thiaucourt, was early blocked
by the American capture of that place
The immediate object of the Amer
lean drive apparently Is to close the
mouth OF the salient. Ultimately II
Is believed that General j. ]. Perish
ing hopes to cut OF the enemy's con
troll OF the Briey ore region. from
which are obtained much Of the raw
material for German guns and mum
tions.
At the present rate OF the American
advance the occupation of the German
fortress at Metz Is q possibility.

WILSON WARNS MACHINlSTS
Must Return to Work or Be Barred for
Year.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Striking ma.
chinists at Bridgeport, Conn, have
been notified by President Wilson that
unless they return to work and abide
by the wage award of the war labor
board they will be barred from EN-.
ployment for a year and draft boards
will be instructed to reject any claim
for exemption from military service
based upon their alleged usefulness on

The presidents warning went in a
letter addressed to the machinists, re-

satisfaction over the war labor boards
award and a later Interpretation by
