OVER HEIGHTS NIGHT DRIVE OF AMERICANS OF THE MEUSE, DARING ST. MURIEL EXPLOIT Their Capture of and Vigneulles Les Eparges Hill on Western Side of Salient the Two Most Notable Strate ciated Press).—The performance of ern side of St. Mihiel salient, with gic Moves. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN LORRAINE, Sept, 16 (Asso- the Americans stationed on the west- the assistance of the French, consti- tutes one of the most brilliant pages of American history thus far in the great struggle. It was this unit which accomplished two of the most notable stra- tegic moves of the offensive. The first was the taking of Les Eparges Hill, which had cost the French many casualties in the last four years. . The second was the daring march of an American regiment at night through woods infested with Germans to Vigneulles, there to effect a laiason with troops working from the eastward. In carrying out these two moves the Allies encountered the stffest| opposition of the offensive, The Ger- mans cherished Les Bparges because they knew it was the key to the Woevre plain. They fought desper- ately to hold it and counter-attacked repeatedly after they had been ejected. Similarly the Germans knew the dire results they would suffer if they permitted the Americana to meet at Vigneulles, and in some cases fought like demons to prevent it. The Amer- icans, nevertheless, marched steadily onward through the night with fixed bayonets, killing or making prisoner all the Teutons who opposed them. They took the prisoners ahead with them, for they were too busy to send| Were still erouped in one atop Les| them back. GERMANS DRIVEN OUT OF A SERIES OF HILLS, The difficulties confronting the Americans may be appreciated when it is realized that all along the west- ern salient the Germans held a series of hills, almost the size of mountains, which dominate the Woevre plain as fag as the eye can eee. It was to take these natural fortifications, equipped with every modern defen- sive device, that the Americans were ordered to attack. All previous ef-! forts to capture Les Eparges, the highest and most dominating heigh had failed in the past. At the conclusion of their artillery Preparation the Franco-Americans swept forward in an irresistible rush which never stopped until they had Feached every height in the long eeries which extend southward nearly to St. Mihiel. Uncounted thousands of miles of barbed wire had been stretched at in- tervals for miles back of the German front Mnes. Every foot of the way was through underbrush thick with machine guns, while a complicated trench system further barred the way. The American artillery preparation must have considerably lightened the task of the attackers, for it created terrible havoc, Shells had struck so close together that the craters merged into one another. In many cases the American artillerymen evi- dently had the most accurate pos- stble knowledge of the roads, for all lines of communication into the heights at all points from north to south were torn up by direct hits which must have impeded the Ger- man retreat seriously, When the roads were not ploughed up by the burricane of shells they were piled high with branches torn from trees and the trees themselves which were ripped to pleces. Nearly everywhere the artillery played havoc with the barbed wire, tearing open paths for (@e infantry. Only the solid, rein- feree concrete forts topping the hetgt «5 seemed impervious to the fire from the heavy guns. apite of the shelly that bit them full or fell nearby. L28 EPARGES HILL CAPTURED | , IN THE STIFF FIGHTING, Despite the bitterest opposition the Franco-Americans swept upward and | onward on to les Eparges Hill From that point they stormed the vil- lages of Herbeuville, Hannonville, Thillot, St. Maurice, Billy and Hat- tonohatel, and then in the dead of night into Vigneulles, at the southern end of the line of heights. To reach these points they had to adva through veritable thickets of machine guns. In many cases these guns wer e@bandoned intact when their crew fled, In other i they were thrown away by the weary Germans, who had taken them from thelr car- riages and were ing them by hand. The victors have not yet fin fehed assembling and counting their booty of this nature. Great ammunition dumps in thé plains just beyond the heights were @bandoned so hastily the Germans id not have time to explode them. The fields under the hills were filled h to-day with boxes of cartridges and ‘| The role « They stood inj ¢¢ ——<$<$____ aerial torpedoes for the Gothas which formerly operated from the Woevre plains. Articles of clothing of every description littered the roads leading jover the hills, while here and there the bodies of German sold iM unburied lie covered with thefr out and threadbare overcoats.

MIHIEL SINGING MARSEILLAISE Years and Not Allowed to Sing. ST. MTHTEL, France, Gept. 16 (United Press).—After the Allied troops occupied St, Mihlel children | who had been kept prisoners indoors |tor four years by German orders ran up and down the streets, shout- ing and waving tricolors which had been hastily dug from hiding places, wildly enjoying their first freedom in the sunshine since September, 1914. More than 30 little ones were piled by a Captain into a staff car and toured the city, singing “The Mar- selllaise” at the top of their lungs. Every one of the youngsters had been too young to talk when the Germans captured St. Mihtel, and had been forbidden for four years to sing, yet they knew the words of every verse, and were ready for the day of deliverance. | One child saw an American soldier | passing her home—now a mass of |roken stone. The child asked her | mother, “What's that man?” The woman replied, “An American sol- dier.” The little girl, shouting “Vive lAmerique,” ran and clung to the doughboy, embracing him. Mayor Jean Malard, representing 2,600 survivors in St. Mihiel, said the Germans had forbidden the inhabit- ants to leave their houses, except by special permit, ipeermnitnaen NEW YORK MAJOR MADE GORDON'S QUARTERMASTER Henry L.
