NEWS REVIEW OF THE GREAT WAR American First Army Wipes Out the St Mihiel Salient East of Verdun. QAGS ABOUT 20,000 HUNS French Aid In Attack That Threatens the BrHy Iron Fields Germans In Plcardy Trying to Halt Re. trt Approximately on Hlndenburg Line. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. The American First army, General Pershing commanding, started the first great wholly American ofllenslvo Thursday, attacking on hoth shies of the St. Mihiel salient southeast of Verdun. The French assisted by at tacking on the point of the salient, hut the operation was planned hy the American "tuff and executed hy Amer ican ollleers and troops. By Friday night the operation, so far as the salient wns concerned, seemed practically completed, for the ltlg wedge had been ilattened out and Ihe new line established hy the Ameri cans ran from Pont-n-Mousson down the. Moselle to Pngny, thence across the Wocvre plain to llattonvllle nnd along the. heights of the Mouse to the old line In front of Verdun. The fact that fully 20,000 prisoners were taken and that the towns and railways nbnn doMMl by the enemy had not been de stroyed made ridiculous the German nfliclnl statement that the retirement, which had been under consideration for some years, was completed without Interference." This American drive threatens the Gorman possession of the great Iron tlelds of the Brloy basin west and northwest of Met?.. After n terrllle artillery preparation which for four hours smothered the entire r.glon within the Oerman lines with shells, the Yanks went over the top exactly nt five o'clock, following a rolling barrage timed for an ad vance of 100 meters every 40 minutes. Grent numbers of tanks supported them nnd cleared the way by crushing numerous concrete machine gun shel ter nnd breaking down the elaborate wire defenses. Amerlcnn aviators In flocks quickly drove nway the few lluir alrmon In sight nnd thereafter dl WRod the enemy supply centers, mu nition dumps anil hangars with bombs, while the observation planes directed the work of the nrtlllery. Everything moved like clockwork and the troops hpeedlly gtdned th'dr ob jectives and went on to the next ones. Village after village was "taken and by Frldny the cavalry hnd advanced far Into the center of the salient nnd occupied htrong positions, Ra Having given up nil the ground they won In their great spring drive, and finding themselves hack on the old Hlndenburg line, nnd In some places well behind It, the Germans decided to stop their retreat for n while. Marshal Foch did not fully nssent to this deci sion, but powerful concentrations of Hun artillery and reserves In strong positions, coupled with torrential rains throughout Plcardy, brought the nllled offenslvo almost to n temporary standstill. Not that the lighting by nny means ceased, for the French and It.ltlsh kept preying forward, though wore slowly, nnd the Oermans deliv ered desperate counter-attacks, which In almost every Instance resulted only Mi soore !ocs for them. It Is the opinion of expert observers Mint the halt of the Huns npproxlmnte 'y on tho Hlndenburg line will be only temporary. Indeed, It Is believed they cannot stay there long If they would. For many weeks they have, been hastily building new lines of do fenso farther east, and Mnrcel Hutln In the Keho do Paris says they arc now ionstructlng a supreme lino from Ant werp to Metz and nre putting tho Ant werp forts In defensive condition. Their presont line depends on Doual. Cnmbral, St. Quentln and I.unn, and farther to tho southeast, on the Chemln dm Dames. Dnunl ulrondy wus be vWawiifcKW I a El -S- . -'-v vj B 1.

The Hrltlsh, llglrlng tierce ly and repulsing heavy counter-attacks, were advancing steadily through Hav rlncourt, Pczlcrcs and Gouzcntieourt nnd forced n crossing of the Canal du Xord, thus taking the main defense of Cnmbral on the southwest. St. Quen tln was the goal of a race between the Hrltlsh nnd the French, the former winning Vermand, Attllly nnd Vendel les and closing In on the Important city from the northwest, while the French southwest of the objective crossed the Crozat cannl nnd took a number of vlllnges. A little farther south the French forces enptured Travecy on the Olsc, Just north of La Fere, and from Its heights were able to dominate the latter town, which was reported to lH9e been burned by the Germans. This operation, together with the French udvance eastward from Couey-le-Chateau, threatened to Hank on hoth sides the forest and mas sif or St. Oobain, the chief defense of l.aon. Withdrawal of the enemy fnuu that forest, which Is full of guns In stiong defensive positions, might tlnn he compelled without direct attack, width would be expensive and dllll cult. At the western end of the Chemln des Dames the Oermans were lighting furiously In the region of Lall'aux, wheie they were trying to regain pos session of the dominating ridge which the French and Americans had taken from them. Many fiesh troops were used In these nttaeks, but their efforts were all In vuln. fca Although the stupendous German re treat of the past eight weeks has been conducted skillfully and the enemy line has not been broken through, his nr mles maintaining contact with one an other, It hus been In every way n most expensive operation for tho Huns. In addition to the loss of grent numbers of guns and Immense quantities of ma terial, captured or destroyed, they have lost more than 1100,000 men, the majority or whom, fortunately, were killed. Tho morale of tho nrmy Is being gradually broken by relentless, continuous and .successful blows de livered by the allies, the supply of lighting effectives Is getting low, nnd the people at home are becoming dally more dlssatlblied and restless. Cap tured orders reveal that the wounded men nre put back In the ranks before they are cured, and prisoners released by Russia ure not given time to re cover their strength und health. Aus tria has reluctantly responded to the call for aid and In the quieter sectors Austilun divisions nre placed between German dlvlblons, or Austrian soldiers nre used to fill out depleted German regiments. This Is taken to mean that there will be no renewal of the Teu tonic offensive u Italy this yenr, If ever. RJ The war department announced thnt Americans have been lnnded at Arch angel to take part with the other al lied forces there In fighting tho bolshc vllcl and re-establishing order In north ern Hussln. These troops are from some of our northern states and many of them speak Itussian. Hitherto the only Americans there were marines and sailors. In Petrograd, Moscow and other cities of Hussln proper the bolshevik government Is snuggling desperately against the over-Increasing counter revolutionaries, slaughtering the latter mercilessly whenever they fall Into their hands. Petrograd Is reported to ho given over to massacres and llames nnd to have been captured by revolt ing peasants; Yaroslav and Vologda have been burned hy the soviet troops, and Moscow Is threatened with the samu fate by Trotsky. Two attempts were made on the life of Doctor llelf fench, the new Get man ambassador to Moscow, but he Ihd hack to Uerlln. The soviet rulers, persistent shout ers ror peace without annexations and Indemnities, hnve Just paid to Ger many U.'iO.OOO.OOO rubles, the llrst In stallment of the Indemnity exacted rrom the unhappj country by tho Huns. In Siberia the allies, with tho Czecho-Slovnks, Cossacks nnd loyal Kusslnns, hnve been making satisfac tory progress, but the Austro-Gurman ex-prlsoners and tho bolshevlkl ore putting up bo obstlnnte i resistance that .Inpan Is contemplating sending a much stronger force In order to In sure tho safety of tho expedition and Its allies before tho winter seta In.

If this Is true, the entire Im mediate family of Nicholas has now been exterminated. The dowager em press and her daughter and son-in-law were nt tucked hy bolshevlkl at Ynlta, but were saved by men from the l'lack sea licet after two weks of lighting, -fca The progress of the Czecho-Slovnks of Austria-Hungary toward the Inde pendence recognized by Great Ilrltaln and America Is encouraging.

This, aimed directl at Presi dent Wilson, was a suggestion that tho I central powers and the entente get to- get her for an exchange of views and to consider all the things which nre keep-' Ing the belligerents apart. He lntl niaied this might make further light- Ing unnecessary. Though President ' Wilson Is not quoted In reply, Wash ington dispatches mnkc It clear that ho holds unwaveringly the position thnt the only tolerable peace will bo, not negotiated, but dictated to tho central poweis by the allies, and that thnt Is the kind of peace which the allies will achieve. In this, It is needless to say, he Is backed up hy the entire nation. No one In n position to predict pre sumes to believe that such a peace can be attained this year, but no one In tends thnt any other kind of penco shall bo accepted by America. We hnve gone Into the war to tho finish, and we propose that tho finish shall be In accordance with our high alms for the future safety of civilization nnd freedom, no matter what tho cost. fc At a most opportune time cntno the registration day for nil Americans be tween the ages of eighteen and twenty-one nnd thlrty-ono and forty-five years. Gladly, with patilotle exalta tion, some 111,000,000 youths and older men enrolled themselves for military duty, and from their number 3,000,000 more trained soldiers will soon bo rendy to move forvvurd to tho hnttlo lines. Millions of others, not so fit In one way or nnothcr for nctual lighting, will be listed for other work directly connected with the carrying on of the wnr. In a few weeks the relative standing of tho 111,000,000 will have been determined. According to Pro vost Marshal General Crowdcr, tho llrst to ho selected for (ho cantonments and camps will be those between nine teen and twenty-one and between thirty-one and thirty-six. The matter of granting deferment to registrants because of the work In which they are engaged Is of utmost Importance, nnd tho aid of nil employ ers In this hns been enlisted. Tho gov ernment Is especially desirous that no essential Industries shall be disturbed by the draft, but enough men must be selected to maintain u steady How of registrants to the training camps. IBS As had been ioieseen, hero and abroad, tho Germans have begun an Intensllled U-boat campaign directed especially against tho transports carry ing American troops and supplies. Up to date this has resulted In the torpe doing of tho Mount Vernon, formerly the Kronprlnzessln Cecelle, which was bringing homo wounded nnd sick sol dlers, and of the Persic, carrying 2,800 American troops to Kuropo. In tho former case the casualties were con lined to men In tho engine rooms nnd tho vessel put buck to n French port under her own stenm. All the men on the Persic wero snfely transferred to the convoying vessels, nrter which tho steamship wns beached on tho Kngllsh coast. Tho Mihmniinu which attacked It was destroyed hy depth charges.
