Washington, Jan. 31,--A graphic
account of the exploit of a platoon
of American soldiers with five
tanks during the war. in prowling
at night along the front to such ef-
feet that two German divisions
were withdrawn from the Argonne
sector ond the eve Of the Ameri-
can attack there, is told in an ac
count issued today by the tank
corps. The object of the expedition,
to draw the enemy's attention from
the real point of intended assault,
was fully accomplished.
The st. Mihiel salient had been
cleaned up and the first army was
preparing to strike the first blow
of the Meuse- -Argonne drive when
the tank corps commander, with
General Pershing's approval, put
into execution new device to
bewilder the enemy as to where the
next blow would fall. Under COM
mand of Lieutenant Higgins, a pla-
toon of the S44th tank battalion en-
trained on narrow gauge line par
alleling the front to the northwest
of the real future battle zone. They
were to stop each night, make a
reconnaissance in front of the posi-
tionS and Immediately load up and
repeat the operation the following
night further down the line.
"On the 18th of September, the
five tanks and their crews were
loaded and the expedition started
the statement said. THAT evening
they stopped in the rear of little
wood, many kilometers west of st.
Mihiel. About II o'clock all was
ready and the miniature army
started forward on its mission.
Everything went off as scheduled.
The tanks rolled through our po-
sitions and into no mand's land.
They were operated back and forth
for half an hour. AT this they were
quietly withdrawn, crawled back
on their little narrow gauges, and
started merrily on their way. They
timed their work perfectly, and as
they pulled out a terrible barrage
hit the wood they had left
The following evening the pro-
cedure was repeated. Again the
barrage descended too late to hurt
the jaunty band. and agains the
sound of bursting shells was greet
ed with jeers and shouts of derision
as the rafting humping little
train carried them toward the next
nights adventure.
For six successive nights the
troops staged, their one night
stands, and the reports all along
the sector showed that the Hun
was up in the air. All day long the
sky was full of planes. searching
for the. army of tanks which the
enemy was sure was concentrating
on this front. All suspicious look
ing places were bombarded with
the usual Hun thoroughness and in
tensity. All night long the dark
ness was dispelled by hundreds of
flares and rockets.
Best of all, just as the little
band was preparing to entrain to
get into the big show in the Ar
gonne, there came a message from
the intelligence section stating:
Two German divisions withdrawn
from the Argonne front Entrain-
ing for your sector"
