German militarists, apparently nos wishing to admit that democratic armies can be as efficient as junker armies, have always sought to minimize the American feat in wiping out the salient. Ludendorffs own report of the battle was so grossly untrue that the German criticisms have forced him to attempt to explain why he issued it.
 The task was not at all easy. Broken and forested country, almost as bad es the Argonne region, faced the Ameri- cans. Here the Germans had spent every ounce of their skill in making de- lenses and entanglements. While ranks were used by Pershing, their progress was limited and hampered, and victory depended almost wholly on the skill and bravery of the American soldier.
 More than half million men were en- gagged. While the French guarded the flank to the north and were given ths honor of recapturing St. Mihiel, it was an all-American drive. Every yard of the ground, had been plotted carefully. and each small unit had studied in ad- vance perfect maps which showed just what they would have to overcome and whther they were to go
 The chief attack was delivered from the south and the objective was Thiau-i court It was the advanced base of ths Germans, the hub from which ran all
 
 ley, protected by high hills it had been safe from the artillery fire of the allies.
 Here the Germans employed their sys- tenn of defense' in depth which had proved so costly to the British in tho fighting around Bpres in 1917 Machine gun nests were posted to sweep all ap-, breaches. Behind this, jn elaborate bomb proofs. were the main forces, which were intended to fall on the rem nants of the assaulting waves. It was a trusted Prussian division that had this critical post
 The American regulars who had broken the line below Sossons July IS were too quick for the defense. Machine guns were gobbled up, the German barrage disdained and the doughboys were in the main defenses while some of the off, cers were still sleeping. By o'clock Thiaucourt was theirs, and at o'clock the next morning doughboy coming from the north challenged form he saw in village east of that base. Don't fire that popgun of yours buddy was the drawlng reply. We've been here half an hour"

An arrow pointed at the heart of France these were the boastful words of the Germans as they spoke in the early years of the war of the St Mihiei salient. It was a breach in the great French fortress chain, and so long as 1t was held by the enemy southern France could never feel safe
 The salient was made in the rush of the crown prince's armies, which in September and october, 1914 tried to cut off Verdun They almost succeeded. Their own wing was pressing far down the Argonne, while the other was break ing through the forest across the Mouse at St. Mihiel when the crown prince was defeated before Nancy and Foch broke the German center on the Marne. The Germans in the Argonne had to retreat and those at St. Mihiel simply dug in.
 Tens of thousands of French lives were spent in the war trying to reduce the salient Gains by hundreds of yards were made at times, but that was all.
 When Pershing had won his point that the American armies were not merely to be fed into the French and British or ganizations, but were to fight Ion their own" the great task was given to him of cutting the main line of German com. munications with France, those running through Metz.
 His push was to be made, not directly against Metz, but down the Mouse to Sedab. Before he could embark on it. however. the St. Mihiel salient must be wiped out. The Mouse and the trunk line railroad running along it were vital for carrying the immense supplies for a big army operating out of Verdun; and. of equal importance, the enemy must be deprived of this jumping off place from which an attack might have been direct ed at the American rear at a critical moment

It has been said that my communl- ques were unreliable. They were in- disputably true and they were framed in accordance with our duty to the army, the people at home and our allies. The evening communique merely de- scribed briefly the events of the day. That of midday was founded on the re- ports which reached grand headquarters up to the time of my ignature--gener- ally 10:3O a. m.
 wrote them principally for the army; our soldiers had the right to have their achievements and sufferlngs re- ported. The unit, officer or man men toned in the communicate was proud of it: was it not uplifting to have one s fame announced to the world? It pro- vided a stimulus of no mean value to the conduct of the war, and an import ant psychological encouragement to achieve. The people at home. too, wer, rightly proud to have their sons deeds recognized.
 EVERY WORD WAS WEIGHED
 Every word in the official commun1- que was carefully weighed; great events were given in detail; only the most important or lesser engagements could be mentioned. In quiet times a frequent report read: Nothing particu- lar" or '.No events of importance; from this an intelligent reader gathere ] that on all parts of the wide front German men stood night and day doing their duty to the fatherland with loyal devotion.
 should certainly have preferred in times of stress to have employed curt phraseology rather than to give full reports, for the events of such times were appropriate to these phrases But

thus lost six seven divisions
 While the one German division was to be assembled at Sofia to support tho government, the others were intended to be grouped at Nish. Transport was so bad that this could not be completed before the middle of october.
 LudendOrff tomorrow tells how the collapse of Bulgaria and the growing disaster in France caused him to urge immediate peace proposals. He was vastly impatient. He pressed the gov ernmcnt not even to lose 24 hours. Fi- naIly 1t was decided to make the pro- posnIs directly to President Wilson.

report on the Flanders battle: "Langemarck is held" or lost, would have sufficed nobody.
 Losses of ground were mentioned, if they affected the general situation, but not until no harm could he done to the troops engaged by doing so. Nobody losses in guns and prisoners to the objectively.
 NOT AN "IRON PEOPLE"
 We were not the iron people, about which I was so often told in those very days. The habit of reading enemy communiques had done damage enough already. Suspicion of the report from grand headquarters went at times so far as to cause them to be compared with enemy reports. That was typical ly German.
 Was it not, for example, great strategical victory for us to have beld the line in Flanders in 1917, although we suffered tactical reverses, that cost us prisoners and materials of war. If mentioned in my report that the enemy had reached our artillery lines. one could deduce the loss in prisoners and guns. Was that not sufficient? Did people wish to wallow in misery Grand headquarters had allowed the enemy communiques to be published, in reliance on the clear -sightedness of the German people. I had the impression later that it was a mistake The ene- my used his communiques for propa- ganda, and lowered our morale. A be- lated order forbidding the publication Of these reports seemed to me even more questionable. France knew what she was doing when she forbade the publishing of our communiques, all

 General Won Scholtz sought to bring the Bulgarians to stand on the sec ond line by removing reserves up Tn good time, but his hopes were not. real ized. The Second and Third Bulgarian divisions retreated. as if on definite plan, without any show of resistance behind the Cerna in one direction and behind the Vardar in another. The Bulgarian reserves, equal in strength to three German divisions. did not fight at all.
