Groups of 50 and 100 are passing thru the villages from the front toward the rear. Many prisoners are from the crack 10th division which participated in the Marne offensive Jeet ke The French are starting an encirclement of St. Mihiel. [By Associated Press] American and French troops today began an offensive on a 20-mile front in Lorraine near the German border. The movement evidently is aimed to eliminate the famous St. Mihiel salient, which for more than four years has projected into the Allied line southwest of Verdun. The assaults were progressing favorably at latest reports There have been many predictions that an American offensive movement was likely this fall and Lorraine has been mentioned as one more probable field for attack. The German citadel of Metz lies only some 15 miles north- east of Pont-A-Mousson, at the easterly edge of the salient un- der attack and it seems probable that this may be a further objective of the offensive. The removal of this salient would seem necessary before any drive in great force into German , territory on this front is attempted as otherwise German forces to the west would be left in a threatening position on the left flank of the attacking armies. Pershing has a huge American army under his command and there seems little doubt that adequate forces would be at 4 the disposal of Marshal Foch for an important push in this sector.. The St. Mihiel salient is nearly 20 miles wide at its % mouth, from Fresnes, twelve miles southeast of Verdun, to Pont-A-Mousson, and somewhat more than 15 miles in depth, with its apex just to the southwest of St. Mihiel. Positions taken by the Germans were strong ones and there is no record POP LPL LS SS Always remember when your Clothes are CANNER-made, they are made in our own tailoring establishment by real tailors.

The German command now wit! have another problem to meet in dealing with the outbreak of its foe in another and comparatively distant quarter from that in which the bulk of fighting has been done in this year’s cam- paign. The question will be, it seems, whether the reduced German manpower has left Ludendorff with a force sufficient to maintain his front from Rheims to Ypres and at the same time beat back a powerful thrust by the Allies for the south- east of the battlefront. SS British Hammer at Gates of Cambrai on Crossing Canal [By Associated Press] LONDON, Sept. 12.—The British effected a crossing of the Canal du Nord southwest of Havrincourt, Haig announced today. The canal line here forms the main defense of Cam- brai on the southwest. A short distance northward the British pushed to the westerly banks of the canal east and north of Moeuvres and established themselves there. Near St. Quentin the British progressed as far as the west- ern outskirts of Holnon wood, southeast of Attilly.
