weather gave US an advantage, as the
mist partly screened our advance from
the enemy.
Overcome EntangIements.
Thanks to the thorough preparation
beforehand, the wire entanglementS
were more easily overcome than we
had expected.
Trained teams of pioneers and en-
gineers, with bangalore torpedoes,
wire cutters and axes, assisted in
opening gaps in the masses Of barbed
wire covering the German positions.
The leading troops themselves carried
along rolls of chicken wire, which was
thrown across entanglements here and
there, forming a kind of bridge for
the infantry.
In all their offensives the allies had
spent days destroying entanglements
with artillery fire or had used large
number Of heavy tanks, but we had
only few light tanks, ineffective for
such work. The fact that we had
smothered the enemy artillery was an
advantage, as it enabled the leading
waves deliberately to do their work
without serious loss.
The quick passage through these en-
tanglements by our troops excited no
little surprise among the French, who
sent large number of officers and
noncommissioned officers to st. Mihiel
several days later to see how It had
been done. One Of these officers, after
his reconnaissance, remarked in all
seriousness that the Americans had
the advantage over Frenchmen be-
cause of their long legs and large feet.

delighted at our success.
"Petain and 1 went to the town Of

The attack of the infantry on the
southern face of the st. Mihiel salient
started at five in the morning and be-
fore that 1 went with several staff
officers to old Fort Gironville, situated
on a commanding height overlooking
the battlefield from the south. The
secondary attack on the west was
launched at 8 a. m. as an element of
surprise for artillery preparation
there.

US from getting clear view, but the

the advance toward the Vesle river.
The Eighty-ninth and Ninetieth div
isions were going through their sector
training on the front between Toul
and the Moselle river and the Fifth
and Thirty-fifth divisions were taking
their sector training in the Vosges.
The Thirty-third, Seventy-eighth,

Misleading the Germans.
The considerable circulation of
troops in the St. Mihiel area natural
ly attracted the attention of the peo-
pie and of the officers and soldiers.
Although cautioned against such dis
cussion, the probability Of an Amer
lean attack on the salient was dis
cussed here and there.
To divert the enemy's attention
from our real objective it was neces-
sary first to create some uncertainty
in the minds Of our own troops. The
rumor was therefore started around
headquarters that our first offensive
might be in the direction of Null
house, in the Rhine valley, beyond the
fort.
1t was also decided to make a d.
version in that direction, and as
preliminary step an officer was sent
to lease buildings in Belfort. At the
same time confidential instructions
were sent Major-G General Bundy, COM
manding the Sixth corps, to proceed to
Belfort with limited staff and pre-
pare detailed plans for an offensive
with the object of selling Mulhouse
and the heights to the southeast and
eventually establishing our line along
the Rhine.
In the letter of instructions seven
divisions were mentioned as having
been designated for the attack, and
three officers from each of these units
were detailed to report to General
Bundy to assist in the reconnaissance.
He was directed to expedite the work
of preparation, as the movement
would probably begin September 8,
under my personal command.
An attack by the French Tenth
army, begun August 90, 1918, was un-
dertaken to force the retirement Of
the enemy from the Vesle and Aisne
rivers. On its relief from the Vesle

The final decision that the First
American army would undertake the
reduction of the st. Mihiel salient as
its first operation was transmitted to
army headquarters August 10 and the
army staff Immediately began the de-
,velopment of plans for the concen-
tration of the necessary troops for
its execution.
1t was certain the psychological! ef-
feet on the enemy of our success in
this first operation by the American
army as well as on the allies, our own
troops and our people at home would
be Of great Importance. The attack
must, therefore, not only succeed, but
q serious hostile reaction must be
made impossible.
The headquarters of the First army
were removed to Neufchateau be-
tween August II and 16. The special
army troops assembled north Of
Chateau Thierry were moved east
ward during the same period.
Composition of First Army.
The following corps and divisions
were placed at the disposal of the
First army for the st. Mihiel operation
and their condition may be summar-
lied as follows:
The First and Second divisions were
excellent as to training, equipment
and morale. They had attacked July
1S in the Scissors drive.
The Third, Fourth, Twenty-sixth
and Forty-second divisions were of
fine morale and considerable expert
