TROOPS TOO QUICK FOR HUNS IN GiiEAT DRIVE [Continued From Page One.] verging operations thus appear to have resulted in the closing of the neck of the loop to a point where it now is not much more than five miles across. Two German divisions were reported last night to be still in this part of the salient, and if they have not succeeded in extri cating themslves their capture seems probable. Trying to Save Artillery The Germans have had great difficulty in getting their f artillery away over the lone railroad line at their disposal. 1 hey were working feverishly last night to move the guns out through Vignculles, but their way past now seems blocked by the con tinued American progress to-day. Numbers of trench mortars and a great quantity of machine guns are already in American hands besides the cannon reported taken. The other railway line in the salient, running through Thiaucourt, was early blocked by the American capture of that place. While the Americans thus are driving forward in the successful carrying out of the first thoroughly American offensive movement under General Pershing's command, the French and the British are continuing to maks progress along the north and south sec tion of the battle front where the fighting had centered all through the year up to the time the American drive was started. Allies Continued Advance* French troops last night closed in towards St. Quentin, cap turing the town of Savy, little more than two and one-half miles from St. Quentin's outskirts. The British, for their part, advanced farther to the northwest of St. Quentin, taking the village of Jeancourt and gaining pos session of Holnon wood. .♦ Farther north the British were subjected to German attacks in considerable force in one of which, an assault on Haviincourt which the British took recently, the enemy was assisted by a squadron of'low-flying airplanes. He was repulsed, however, wit 1 very heavy losses. . . Further German attempts to dislodge the British along the Canal du Nord line, west of Cambrai, were frustrated by the British fire. London, Sept. 13.—German troops last night delivered an attack, with the co-operation of airplanes, on the town of Hayrincourt, southwest of Cambrai, recently taken by the British. The attack was repulsed with great loss, Field Marshal Haig announced in the official statement to-day. , . Further south, on the front opposite St. Quentin, the British have gained possession of Holnon wood. A German attack opposite Moeuvres, on the canal line west ot Cambrai, failed completely. . British troops have captured the town of Jeancourt, in the bt. Quentin sector, north df Vermand. AMERICANS PUSH AGAINST TEUTON UNDER j^ERSHING Yankees in Complete Control of Operation in the St. Mihiel Salient ' By Associated Press London, Sept. 13.—The Daily Mail correspondent at the American front sends the following description o( the battle along the St. Mihiel sector: 'The First American army under personal command of General Per shing for the first time went into action to-day (Thursday) in the St. Mihiel salient. Never before has there been such a large concentration of American troops for one operation and never have the Americans been in such complete controll of their own operations. "The event had long been anti cipated. Some people assigned to it grandiose objectives, but in reality the attack is for limited objectives only. "The concentration of a great part of the most experienced United States troops had taken place during the last two weeks and everything was planned minutely and with ex actitude for a great event in Ameri can history. Last night th§ final preparations were completed. Fight Over Difficult Country "The country over which the Americans are fighting is very diffi cult. The high ridges and thick woods offer every concealment for enemy machine guns and in addition the Germans have a fortified line of resistance, which has everything in its favor. "At 1 o'clock Thursday morning the artillery preparation began with a roar that could be heard many miles away, and all night it rose and fell with peculiar fluctuations. From all the roads that ran parallel the flashes of innumerable guns told of the impending assault. Towards 5 o'clock—the hour of the attack —the firing became even more rapid and its sullen, tone mingled strangely with the sound of the rain. Yanks Man Tanks "At dawn whole fleets of tanks manned by Strong young Americans and French were to be seen moving oiu of their shelters to lead the at tack. They lumbered on, but tho Ger mans offered little opposition. The American infantry followed in opep order, plowing througtt the mud, but they were little troubled by the feeble artillery resistance. "At one point, near Seicheprey, where the Americans had previously fought desperately with the Ger mans, machine gun and automatic fire swept doVn upon the Yanks' right flank, but the tanks and artil lery quickly moved in that direction, and the Americans went steadily for ward. Tanks Disappear "At 7 o'clock thetanks had disap peared amid a smoke cloud over the ridge in front of Seicheprey. "The Germans have offered very little resistance to the advancing Americans. Occasionally a stray ma chine gun or automatic rifle has been discovered, hpt it is apparent that the enemy has withdrawn his main forces to a second line, which pos sibly he will defeijd with a certain degree of tenacity. Lose One In Mud "His artillery has been flrirys from behind a ridge which runs in front of the American line, but hejs being pursued by tanks, which at one point lost only one, out of forty-five, and that stuck in the mud. "A few prisoners from the Tenth Landwehr division have been taken. "The Americans are pressing for ward in fine style and slowly closing in the extreme ends of the St Mi hiel salient. "At the time of telegraphing, news of what has 1 happened is very meager bu. the correspondent has just vis ited the battle front and heard of the progress of the American units in the region of Montsec and Seicheprey and of the capture of several villages. Advance Through Sunlight "From Beaumont I could see lying just below me the trenches from which the Americans started and the valley through which they were fight, ing. The sun was streaming across the valley, casting shadows from the melancholy wrecks of villages all around. On the left was the black, forbidding height of Montsec, with the tiny village of that name nest ling on its black side. Spurts of earth sprang from its capacious sides as the American artillerymen bat tered at it. "In the valley the tops of what once had been houses in the village of Richecourt were discernable when the smoke disappeared. Kliakl Figures Move Forward "Away to the right, bathed in the sunli.ht, was the village of St. Baus sant, resting on the side of a majec tic promontory. Khaki figures were moving along the valley. The smoke occasionally blotted them from view, but they would reappear soon after ward, walking with easy stride. "Meanwhile the air was rent with the torrent of shells passing over head. American gunners, manning every possible type of gun, were working with mechanical rhythm as they loaded and sent the shells to their destination. The light railways continually brought up supplies." Kmploy Pinecr Tactics It is clear that for his first blow General Pershing determined to em ploy the plncer tactics Marshal Foch has used with repeated success in hurling the foe back from the Marne jipd out of {fre Plcardv apd Elaiyjf ra I HAimiSxHJilti TELEGRAPH salients. The chance lay ready to the American leader's hand. • Almost duo south of the war-wreck ed fortress of Verdun which has de fied every German effort, the town of St. Mihiel ;stood at the apex of a great enemy wedge driven into the French lines and which all but cut Verdun off in the first German rush toward Paris. Along the eastern cu.ve of this salient, American droops have stood for months, hold ing the lines. Americans also were on the line between Verdun and St. Mihiel, but St. Mihiel itself was held by the French for the fate of Verdun rested upon that line. Reduces Pocket Surging forward 0.. a twelve-mile front to tho east of St. Mihiel, Per shing's men have rolled over the complicated defenses of the enemy all along the line and thrust a steel shod jaw out into the territory be hind the enemy forces that hold the town. From the other side, another American thrust has carried the lines forward to meet the bulge from the east : d a grim trap is being drawn about the enemy forces that remain in the salient. It was only twenty miles across the mouth of the pocket and the reports last night showed that this had been closed in to less than fifteen miles. Through that narrowing gap the German forces in the depth of the salient must escape, and to with draw without confusion that might turn the retreat into a rout, they must shake off the French forces which are battering them all along tho St. Mihiel front. Germans Still In Trap On the face of last night's reports officers here believed there was good promise that General Pershing might succeed in closing the neck of the bag and trapping a considerable force. The fact that the enemy was still offering stubborn resistance in St. Mihiel showed there was a con siderable German force stilt in the depths of the trap. The American attack, as it now shapes up, is a major action, it is said, and there is no doubt that the strongest American forces yet em ployed are engaged. Possibly a quar ter of a million American troops either are in action or in close re serve. The advance of the eastern jaw rest on a wide base. Reports indicated that it had broken through at< the first rush until General Pershing could fling out cavalry screens on both sides to prevent counterattacks on his flanks.

They anticipate that General Porshing will follow up without delay, the clearing out of the St. Mihiel salient with actions of greater scope, probably directed to ward the capture of Metz. With such an advance, it is said a FJench thrust from Verdun and along the front be tween Verdun an<| Rheims would go naturally and the great movement '-o force the enemy out of all Northern France and much of Belgium would be well under way.
