THE SEATTLE YANKS ARE SMASHING DESPERATE RESISTANCE U.S. BATTERING * BREACH IN HUN * MEUSE DEFENSE Dispatch From Fred | S. Ferguson } By United Press Leased Wire i} Direct to The Star a FIELD WHICH HUN IS YIELDING BY DEFAULT _ With THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTH OF VERDUN, Oct, 16.—Americans are batter ing another breach in the Kriem- hilde line, in the region of St. Georges, The enemy ts fighting with the utmost desperation. A break between the Aisne and the Meuse rivers means collapse of the entire German front in this sector. Should the Americans break thru here, the enemy's left flank would be shattered, and the effects probably would be felt all along the line, which has been shoved back by recent ms saults of the allies farther north Buzancy is under American shell fire, Dun-Sur-Meu nay and other bis railway centers have been repeatediy bombed by our airplanes The way is being cleared for a fur ther advance, and the enemy commu nications are constantly being har ried. The Americans, steadily pushing on, are narrowing the avenue thru which the Germans can withdraw. The rapid gains by the British and French to the northward make it necessary for the boche to offer the stiffest resistance to the Americans in this region, to avoid being cut off by Pershing’s men taking him in the pear. There are no indications that the enemy ts caving in. If he does, it means the finish of the war will be on French soil, as communications Setween the German armies will be | tut, and they will be doomed.
