By | direction of a French ofticer we took a road which brought us into the sector where American and French troops were fighting side by on Wonderful French artillery, camouflaged in fields, ana batteries of 75’ emplaced alongside the roads were firing continually. The Germans replied but did not begin to send over large shelis until in the afternoon when their heavy artillery was brought into posi- tion along the line of their advance. Everything was in good order |among he French and American forces. J never saw more business like, ' direct time: saving troops than ours. ThesAllied commander admitted the {critical stage of the battle but expressed unlimited confidence in his ability to hold the Germans. 1 was told by military experts that the |movement of reserves to check the German advance at a point where lhe attack was more or less of a surprise was probably as rapid and ef- {fective as anything in the history of warfare, Ail the Allies benefited by the superior mobile French motor truck The battle ground is rolling, wooded country, with occasional |deep, narrow valleys, is not unlike lower Westchester County and the sound shore of Connecticut, sloping back from the water.

Owing to the wooded nature of the country the great battle is | being fought largely in cover of woods, save where open spaces compel the exposure of forces in their advance or counter-attack, From many elevated points commanding a view for miles of roads, many village and open fields, there was not a sign of movement visible and no evi-| dence of a battle except the crackling and grunting of guns. the roar, of exploding shells and well mingled smoke dusi hanging over the landscape.
