II (Reuter's).-In closing Grandpre gap
it was the French who actually entered
, Grandpre station. but it was the Amer

and their capture of Marco and Chew
ieres that made the occupation possible.
The Germans timed their retreat from
the Argonne with their customary skill.
showing us but little of their last line
of troops. They also made d very COM
plete job Of destroying and blocking the
main roads by means of mines and
felled timbers.
Little is likely to remain of Grandpre
station, the enemy having shelled it to
complete the destruction wrought by
fire. All of the German counter attacks
have been repulsed without any ground
being yielded.
Despite violent counter attacks by
the Germans on both sides of the
Meuse, the advance of French and
Americans divisions continues, Gen.
