counterthrusts all along the line.
The doughboys were advancing in

neither sufficient aerial support or
artillery observation, since visibility
was 1000 yards.

the Yanks encountered opposition
at Fort User and its surrounding
casemates. But there was specula-
ton at headquarters that it fell as
easily as L'Aisne in the Very area
to the south did Monday, with the
Nazis apparently falling back into
the inner core of Metz defenses.
In concerted action, Major Gen.
eral Harry Twaddle's 95th infantry
division attached the outer defenses
OF Metz in the area of Chapel St.
Germain, about four miles west of
Metz.
