To add to the enemy’s discomfiture, Marshal Foch ordered the American First Army to attack at the lower end of the line when the French and Brit- ish halted momentarily further northward, and the dazzling speed displayed by General Pershing’s men In wiping out the St. Mihiel salient is already a matter of history.
