With the French .Armies, Sept. 11.
For, pure wantonness of destruction,
Hani offers an example that even the
Germans wilt find It hard to beat.
More than ever It Is necessary that
America support the demands which
have been strongly taken up by the
French press that Germany be for
mally' warned of the consequences of
jionmllltary acts of vandalism.
Tour correspondent has visited Ham
nnd,walked through "street after street
of nre-swepi nouaea. v irmiucuw in
tervals the wind still fanned the
smoldering embers Into a blaze, and'
the crash of falling wallswas heard
continuously. The boches had fired
the town, which was virtually un
injured by shell Are of friend and
foe, wlth deliberate thoroughness,
despite the fact that its position on
what was virtually an Island, formed
toy the Somme River and Saint Quen
tln Canal on the south, made If un
available for mllltaryl purposes once
the bridges were destroyed. I crossed
the canal by clambering across the
lock gate that had, escaped 'destruc
tion, and passed out on the further
'Bide' by l totterlnp series of foot-wide
planks spanning the river bed.
Chnuny street, leading to the
market place, was plied high with the
wreckage of fallen walls, and at the
tentrahce to the square a group of
pbllus wore risking their lives In clear
ing the outlet of a cellar In a house
whose' glowing beams still crackled
Into flame at each gust of wind, and
whose side wallswere bound to fall
nt any minute.
Searching for Refugees
.."We have Just spoken with one of
the munclpal .cierKB wno cmercea
only half an Hour ago from a cellar
behind the courthouse," said their
leader. "Ho had an Idea that there
were two civilian refugees here, and
we hope to save'them. I fear several
must have been trapped by the mass
of debris In the different parts of the
city."
I waited until the work was com
pleted, but the cellar proved empty.
The soldiers stated that the civilian
in the courthouse cellar had been there
since Wednesday night with nothing
to eat or drink save a half-poUnd bag
of wheat ears taken from the fields
and a quart bottle of water. Though
ihls provisions were exhausted on
Saturday, It was only yesterday morn
ing that ho ventured to leave his
hiding place through fear lest he be
shot If the town were still In the
hands1 of the enemy for having dis
obeyed the order of evacuation posted
on Wednesday.
When he saw the horizon-blue uni
forms, he broke down and wept from
weakness and emotion. "v
"Tell the American what the boches
have ,done to Ham." they told her.
.She began In almost the same .words
as Senator Ts'oel. at, Noyon nothing
can be more touching than the faith
of the inhabitants ,of the devastated
regions that an American has only to
appreciate fully the boche vandalism
for the practice to bo put to an end.
Town Methodically Destroyed
Tho woman continued: "Ham was
destroyed methodically by fires simul
taneously started. In every quarter by
electric devices';; Nearly a month ago
we noticed the boche had begun fixing
up wlresln'all directions, and we com
mented" on (the strangeness of such In
utallatlon at a time when everything
else pointed to a German retreat. It
did our hearts good ,to see the stream
of guns, , tho, material, and tho shat
tered; dispirited -troop's that had bean
pouring backward through Ham for
tlie last few. weeks.
"As the time passed the boches
steadily continued ' th'elr preparations
for departure,' removing -wagon-loads
of, furniture and, Indeed, everything of
any value. But the wiring parties
continued their work all the more
busily.
"Last Wednesday we had the key to
the enigma. That morning the.French
shells fell close. At noon the boches
Issued orders to all civilians to
evacuate the town. There were only
about fifty inhabitants here, and per
haps twice that number of French and
Belgian .youths ln the boche press
gang. Some fifteen pf us and six boys
managed to hide in the cellars.. I be
lieve all save one or two are now
safely accounted for.
'"On the night from Wednesday
tq Thursday wo heard a sudden out
burst of small explosions all around.
At first we thought there was grenade
fighting ;ln the streets, as it was not
loud enough for sheila or air bombs.
Uefore dawn, father stole cautiously
out. The1 whole town was flaming
above our heads, though our house
had not' caught fire until we were
able to leave It.
"The' boche wires had been con
nected with Incendiary bombs, .which
were fired simultaneously from a'
central electric control. Ham burned
furiously all Thursday and Friday.
On Saturday morning the fire was
.dangerously, close, and we left the
Cellar to meet ' the French soldiers
afterward."

Two Notable Days
in American History
Today Is the anniversary of tho
battlo that brought to life the In
spiring words of the "Star Spangled
Banner," and on this day was begun
the great American offensive In
France which is intended to sweep
the Germans back to the Rhine.
It was on September 12, 1814,
that the British landed at North
Point on the shore of the Chesa
peake and began their march on
Baltimore. At the same time Brit
ish fighting ships attacked Fort
McHenry, now serving as a war
hospital. Both attacks were glo
riously repulsed. In the midst of
the bombardment Francis Scott
Key penned the lines that are
known around the world.

BIG U.S. DRIVE
MAY MENACE
RHINE WORKS
American Offensive Likely to
Compel Germany to Lessen
Forces Around St. Qucntin
.. By the United Press
IVaahlngton'Sept. 12.
Lauchlng of America's drive in the
Toul sector, where probably a million
yanks are concentrated, may mean the
beginning of Pershing's forecast cam
paign of destruction against the Ger
man Industrial centers on the,Rhlne.
While awaiting full details o'f the
new offensive to determine' whether br
not it is destined o become a major
action, officials here today were guarded
In their' comment.
It is known, however, that systematic
devastation of Rhine .Industries has
been long urged. It has been felt here
that the best opportunity of giving Ger
many an example'of the wreck she has
wrought In Belgium and northern
France .lay In. a campaign across the
Rhine from the American concentration
point between the Meuse and Moselle.
Besides offering the opportunity of
reaching Germany by a short line, the-
drive presents tne. chance of preventing
added German pressure further ndrth.
t .The drive' toward the Hlndehburg line
has been materially slowed the last few
days by derman concentrations of un
used 'troops. . .
The Ameflcandr!ve, therefore, Is like
ly to .compel Germany to thin- out her
forces around St. Quentln. And It Is
likely to ibe so forcible a blow that
considerable gains' In the Toul sector
will be accompanied by further pushing
toward, the Hlndcnburg line.
Some military experts felt that It of
fered the opportunity of shoving the
Boche well past tho Hlndenburg line
and compelling him to drop back to
at least the Meuse line.
Secretary of War Baker, now in
France, may have witnessed the open
ing of the American drive, although reports-make
no 'mention of his presence
at the, front and the War Department
was .without Information save, these dis
patches up',to noon.
First news of the drive was received
by. President Wilson. Chief of Staffl
March;' Congress and other departments.
BRITISH RUSH ON

By the Associated Press
London, Sept. 13.
The British are smashing the de
fenses of, Cambral nnd BUrging on
around St. Quentln. These two towns
are the central pivots of the German
front between La Fere and Ypres.
British forces have effected a cross
ing of the Canal du Nord to the north
AvesW of the town of Havrlncourt
(seven! miles southwest of Cambral),

The Germans offered stiff opposition
In the Huvrlncourt and Moeuvres sec

The crossing of tho Canal du Nord
above Havrlncourt places Cambral In
grave peril. Tho British and French
previously had pushed east of the
canal along its entire length except
between Havrlncourt and the Scarpc.
Field Marshal Halg also announces
that the British have captured Ver
mand, six mites northwest of St.
Quentln and an equal distance west
of the Hlndenburg line, running
through Cambral, and further south
occupied Attllly, four and a half miles
west of St. Quentln. Vendelles, two
miles north of Vermand, also was cap
tured by the English in their rush. In
this advance toward St. Quentln the
British have progressed as far as tho
western outskirts of Holnon wood,
southeast of Attllly.

U. S. DRIVE ATTEMPTS
TO WIPE OUT SALIENT
Metz Fortress Likely to Be Next Objective of Huge
American Army Under
Pershing
By the Associated Press
American and French troops today
began an offensive on a twenty-mile
front In Lorraine, near the German bor
der. ,
Tho movement evidently Is aimed pri
marily at the .elimination of the famous
St. Mlhlcl salient, which for more than
four years has projected Into the Al
lied line southeast of Verdun.
Tho nttacks wore launched on both
sides of tho salient on a twelve-mile
front on the south nnd an eight-mile
front on the westerly side. The as
saults were progressing favorably at
tho latest reports.
Oermnn (lunflre IVtik
A barrage lasting four hours pre
ceded the thrust. Heavy concentrations
of French and American artillery and
airplanes had been effected. Tho fire
poured in upon the Germans from the
Allied guns was a terrific one, while
the German reply, nn the whole, was
weak.
There have been many predictions In
unofficial quarters recently that an
American offensive was likely to be
witnessed this fall, and Lorraine has
been mentioned as ono of the more prob
able fields for the attack. The Ger
man citadel of Metz lies only some
fifteen miles to tho northeast of Pont-a-Mousson,
at the easterly edge of the
salient under attack, and it seems not
beyond probability that this may bo a
further objective of the offensive, should
It develop favorably in the crushing out
or material reduction of the salient.
Try to Brmore Bftllent
Tho removal of this salient, In fact,
would seem to be a necessity before
any drive In great force Into German
territory on this front were attemtped,
as otherwise the German forces to tho
west would be .left in a threatening posi
tion on the left flank of the attacking
armies.
It Is known that General I'erahlng
has a huge American army under his
command and there seems little doubt
that adequate forces would be at the
disposal of Marshal Foch for an Im
portant push In this Rector were the
opening moves to develop a suitable
opening.
The St. Mlhlel salient Is nearly twenty
miles wide at Its mouth, from Fresnes,
twelve miles southeast of Verdun, to
Pont-a-Mousson, and somewhat more
than fifteen miles In depth, with Its
apex just to the southwest of St. MlhleT.
It was driven Into the French line In

It appears, another problem to meet
In dealing with the outbreak of Its

liulk of the fighting has been done In

will be, It Feems, whether the reduced

Ludcndorff with forces Bufllclent to j
maintain his front from Rhelms to

a powerful thrust by the Allies far to
the southeast on the battlefront.
The Hlndenburg line Itself, however,
already has not proved loo stronr: for
either tho French or the British nt some
points In the recent fighting. The Brit
ish breached it on the Qucant-Drocourt

announcement from London that the
