Over a twenty-mile front, fighting with the Foch forces, the Americans advanced to an average depth of seven miles and captured twelve towns and more than 5,000 prison ers. Four of the towns were carried Dy storm by Pennsylvania, Kansas and Missouri troops of Major General Ligget's corps. General Pershing said in his official statement on the battle, received last night at the War De partment. The enemy offered stub born resistance. Troops of other corps forced their way across the Forges brook, took . the Bois de Forges and wrested eight towns from she enemy. The Pennsylvania troops referred to by General Pershing evidently are those forming the Twenty-eighth (National Guard! division, while the Kansas and Missouri troops make up the Thirty-fifth (National Guard) division. At last accounts the Twen ty-eighth division was under Major General C. H. Muir and the Thirty fifth under Major General W. R. Smith. As the army corps originally were announced these two divisions were in the second corps under Ma jor General Robert Lee Bullard. The Twenty-eighth or "Iron" divi sion had been in hard fighting here tofore. having held the center of the American line in the advance across Ourcq July 26 to 31 during the be ginning of the general allied offen sive when the Alsne-Marne salient was wiped out. They remained on the line until August 6, advancing to Fismes where they were reliev ed by the Thirty-second (National Guard) division. The Thirty-fifth division landed in France last June 9 and went on the firing line eleven days later. They were last reported on the Vosges front September 4. General Pershing's communique follows: "Section A—This morning north west of Verdun the First Army at tacked the enemy on a front of twen ty miles and penetrated his line to an average depth of seven miles. "Pennsylvania. Kansas and Mis souri trooos serving in Major Gen eral Ligget's corps stormed Varen nes, Mont Blainville, Vauzuois and Chappy after stubborn resistance. Troops of other corps, crossing the Forges brook, captured the Bois de Forges and wrested from the enemy the towns of Malancourt. Bethin court, Montfaucon Cuisy, Nantillos. Zeptzarges (Septsarges?), Danneoux and Gercourt-et-Drillancourt. The prisoners thus far reported number over 5,000."

Kills Three Ger mans; Wounds Trio By Associate J Press With the American Forces in France, Sept. 27. —Cine of the heroes of the fighting in the region of Fisntes, taken by the Americans early in August, was Private William James, of Kittanning, Pa., wso sin gle-handed cleaned out three Ger man machine-gun nests which had been a menace to the Americans. Others Try in Vain Various systems had been tried by the American infantrymen to rid the country west of Flumes of the German machine gunners who were situated so that their positions com manded certain streets which ex tended away from them through the town. Finally the commanding of ficer asked for volunteers and sev eral individuals offered their serv ices. Each tried different plans, en deavoring to gain positions from which they could shoot down the machine gunners by rifle fire. James' Turn Comes Four Americans had been wound ed in these attempts when it canto to James' turn. Instead of going roundabout as others had done. James started straight for the guh ners, taking advantage of the tall grass and crawling on his hands and knees. He was not seen by the Germans, probably partly because they were looking for attacks more from the sides, where the others had come from. Complete Job in Four Hours James eventually reached a point where he could see two gunners and he killed them both, cleaning out this nest with two rifle shots. Then James crawled even farther and in the second nest killed one German and wounded the other, and in the third he wounded the only two Ger mans in this nest. Four hours after having started on his mission James returned to Fismes without a scratch.
