SBYRACUSE, N. Y, March 18 (N.AN.A) —Prof. Ernest Thelin of the 8 _partment of psychology at Syracuse | University was with the 1st Division, A. E. F., as an engineer. He has five battle ciasps on his Victory Medal—, Toul and Salzerals (two defensives; which count for one) and four offen-| sives—Montdidier-Noyon, Aisne-Marne, | Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne. | “There was only one American divi- sion that could show a more extended record,” he says. For Gen. Pershing's story that cam- | paign was a triumphant incident to be | disposed of in a few stimulating para- | phs. But for Prof. Thelin it meant | ying for days in the fields around Broyes, facing across “Hell's Half Acre” toward the Germans in Cantigny. Before the German artillery came up they were able to spend a brief period in the sholter of the village. A pot with water and meat still hung over | the stove in the cottage in which he| was billeted, indicating the haste with | which the occupants had fled. The| doughboys scurried jusi as quickly | when shells began to fall, and in a few hours the place was a desert. | Six thousand American _casualties ‘ were the price for taking Cantigny 8 !more than a thousand kilied, but only | ‘23t . - prisoners, | Familiar With Soissons. | Every fcot of the Soissons advance described by Pershing in his memoirs | is familiar to Thelin. No wonder. His company went in 268 s rong and came | out with 72 and a single lieutenant to | Tepresent the command. It was while moving into line that Thelin had his closest call. He points to & svot in th. road leading up to the battle front. I heard an airplane zooming up from behind. He glanced around and saw the release of & bomb. Where would it fall? He was not used to their tricks then, and naturally ex- | pected to see an explosion some dis- tance down the road, below the point where it was dropped. Instead it fell in the midst of a team |of mules not fa from where he stood. Mules, caisson_and drivers were anni- hilated: his rifle was blown out of his | hand, a wreck, and one of his leggings tc.n off. He was not even scratched “I have a bit of that legging yet,” he savs. At Chaudon, well on in the advance, | he s the field where a German artil- | leryman was chained to his gun.

Marshal Foch was very devout and wanted especially to visit the cathedral. When we entered, he knelt reverently, and, following his example, all of us did likewise, remaining scme minutes at our devotions. Weygand told me that it was Foch's cusiom to visit the church whenever he had an opportunity. | We went from there to Hattonchatel, | where we, had a fine view overlooking the St. Mihiel battlefield, and as we stood on this prominent point Foch spoke with enthusiasm regarding the | battle. Having spent a very pleasant half day, we returned to my quarters at Ligny-en-Barrois for luncheon, In mccordance with the understand- ing of September 2, we were now mov- ing rapidly toward our second great offensive. = Questions concerning the concentration and supply of the ele- | ments of the 1st Army in the battle areas were being wcrked out by the staff of that army, who were given every possible assistance by the staff at G.H Q. In my dual capacity as commander in chief and commander of the 1lst Army 1 was able promptly to place every facility of the A. E. F. at the | disposition of the 1st Army.

From the | enemy’s point of view this was the | vital portion of his defensive line, be-| cause here it was closer to his main | artery of supply than at any other point. | He could afford to retire his armies gradually from all fronts except the Meuse-Argonne, where he must hold until the last. The strategical value of success egainst this portion of the German line had been apparent from the be- ginning, but at no time after the first battle of the Marne had the allles been able to contemplate an offensive there. except perhaps as a remote pos- sibility should fortune in some un- forescen way turn in their favor. The operation against this important sector of the enemy's line was to con- sist of an attack by the American lst Army between the Meuse River and the Argonne Forest, supported by the French 4th Army to the west of the Argonne. Our thrust east of the forest by threatening the left flank of the enemy’s position in front of the French 4th Army on the Aisne River would | force his withdrawal, and the combined | or successive advances of both armies| would throw the enemy back on the line Stenay-Le Chesne-Attigny, and eventually on Mezieres. | 1st Army Was Threat. | Once the Argonne should be captured, these two armies would continue their joint attacks in the general direction of Mezieres and Sedan, with the object of severing the enemy’s line of rail com- munications between Carignan and Sedan. At this moment the American 1st Army, holding the sector from the Mo- selle River to Watronville, southeast of Verdun, and flushed with success, stood as & menace against the German lines that protected Metz and the Briey iron region. The second offensive, about to take place, required the extension of our lines to the north of Verdun, and from there to the western edge of the Argonne Forest, giving us a total front | of 94 miles (from the North Sea to the Moselle). The area between the Meuse River and the Argonne Forest was ideal for | defensive fighting. On the east the| | heights of the Meuse commanded that river valley, and on the west the rug- | ged, high hills of the Argonne Forest| dominated the Valley of the Aire River. In the center the watershed between the Aire and the Meuse Riv- ers commanded both valleys, with the heights of Montfaucon, Cunel, Romagne | and of the Bois de Barricourt standing out as natural strong points. From these | | heights observation points completely covered the entire German front. | The terrain over which the attack was to be made formed @ defile blocked by three successive barriers—the heights of Mantfaucon, then those of Cunel and | Romagne, and farther back the ridges of the Bois de Barricourt and of the | Bois de Bourgogne. The Meuse River was unfordable; the Aire River ford- | able only in places.
