OVER MILLION SHELLS FIRED IN
FOUR HOURS,

The most intense concentration Of
artillery fire ever recorded was that
Of the American troops in the battle
of ST Mihiel, fought from September
IL to Is, and which was the first dis
tinctly American offensive of the war
1t was fought chiefly by American
troops and wholly under the orders
of American officers. In this battle
the American artillery fired more
than one million shells in four hours.
Two comparisons with Gettysburg
emphasize the magnitude of the st.
Mihiel operation. At st. Mihiel, $780,
900 Americans were engaged; at
Gettysburg, the Union troops num-
bered approximately 100000 In three
days at Gettysburg the Union artil-
lery fired $4,000 shells. The st. Mi
hiel offensive cost the Americans
about 1000 casualties, less than one
third the Union losses at Gettys-
