WITTT THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE. J:30 P. M.. Oct. 19. (By the
Associated Press.) The first French
Army under General Debeney, after
months of severe campaigning is fur
nishing one of the best examples of
the endurance of the heroic French
troops in the fighting- on the Oise..Con-
tinuing their pressure on the Wrmin
lines during; the night. General
rebeny's troops completed the conquest
of the territory west of the canal from
Jfannappes to Noyales and this morn
ing were overcoming stout resistance
on this most difficult ground.
The Germans are favored by nature,
the ground In this region being well
adapted to the artificial floods to which
they are resorting and to ambushes.
Earar la Forced Back.
Wherever the enemy retires here he
Is forced back against his wall of de
fense, these positions being essential
to the easy withdrawal of troops and
material farther north.
On the front of the armies of Gen
eral Gouraud and General Pershing the
lighting also goes on fiercely, the ene
my giving ground only In the last ex
tremity. Gouraud's men gained Impor
tant successes yesterday east of the
Aisne and are advancing east of Vou
slers.
The German retreat, so far as the
high command la able to control it. Is
movement Inverse to that of the Inva
sion of 1914, when German columns,
pivoting on the fortress of Metl and
wheeling to the left, came around
through Belgium In a movement like
that of an opening fan. The fan Is
closing this time, and It Is hinging on
a crowded pivot, while the columns

tead of pursuing the adversary, are
being pursued, pushed, bustled and ha
rassed.
Farh Master ef Situation.
Consequently, the regularity with
which the fan waa opened 'at the be
ginning of the war and which, accord
ing to the crown prince, "was fresh
and joyous," is absent in the inverse
movement.
Marshal Foch withholds from Luden
dorff the leisure to operate his elastic
retreat at will. The enemy is able to
select only positions where resistance
is vital to. the success of the retiring
movement. These positions are for the
moment on the right wing in front of
Gouraud and Pershing and in the
region of Sissons on the front of Debe
ney. Gfrnai Retreat Masterly.
The most competent authorities' ad
mit that the German retreat has thus
far been accomplished in masterly
fashion. The question whether the
Germans will be able to hold the vital
points along the Aisne and Oise until
they get out of precarious situations
elsewhere is becoming more and more
acute. Yet predictions of the immedi
ate crumbling of the German line any
where are considered premature.
The Germans now occupy north of
the Aisne and the Serre the second line
of retirement called the "Hunding" po
itlon, which rests Its right upon the
alley of the Oise and its left upon the
hilly forest region at Grand Pre gap,
vigorously attacked by Gouraud and
Pershing.
Work on this line was begun In the
Spring of 191? and was continued until
November. Then it was suspended
until September of this year, when it
was resumed with feverish haste with
the aid of prisoners of war.
Its length is sbout 75 miles, four
fifths of it behind watetr courses that
may easily be swelled by artificial
floods so as to constitute formidable
obstacles.

When a man In civil life acts
with courage and resourceful
ness he wins permanent things,
such as wealth and influence.
When a fighting man displays
the tame qualities he wins the
plaudits of the moment and per
haps promotion that adds a little
to his Income and much to his
responsibilities.
That is why brave soldiers are
given Insignia of honor.
These bits of metal and bars 'of
color are symbols of merit won
by unselfish service to others.
Therefore they deserve recogni

they mean, and accord the wear

wealth and influence' bring to

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
NORTH OF RHEIMS. Oct. 16. (By the
Associated Press. Perhaps the most
glorious page in American military his
tory in this war has just been con
cluded in the Champagne battle, in
which two divisions of United States
troops the Second and the 36th have
done thein inadequately heralded part
of forcing back the German hordes
facing the famous city of Rheims.
The work of the Americans was more
notable because one of "the American
divisions the 36th entered the ter
rifio battle at an important point.
Although new to fighting and with
out ever having heard shellfine before,
the division withstood the most bitter
German counter-attacks without flinch
ing. The efforts of the two units were i
praised publicly in an order Issued by
General Naul, In command of the 21st
French Army Corps, with which the
Americans were brigaded. The Gen
eral said:
"On October 3 the Second American
Division, having arrived during the
night in the sector of the 21st Army
Corps, attacked the fortified crest of
Blanc Mont and captured it in a few
hours despite the desperate resistance
of the enemy. In the following days
it made an extended advance on the
slopes to the north.
Young Soldiers Equal Veterans.
"The 36th Division, a recent forma'
tlon and as yet incompletely organized.
was ordered Into the line on the night
of October 6-7 to relieve, under condl
tlons particularly delicate, the Second
Division and to dislodge the enemy
from the crests north of St. Etlenne
and throw him back to the Aisne. Al
though being under fire for the first
time, the young soldiers of General
Smith, rivaling in their combative
1 and tenacity the old and valiant
regiments of General Lejuene, accom
plished all the tasks set for them.
To all the General commanding the
Army Corps is happy to address the
most cordial expression of his recogni
tion and his best wishes for future
service, but the past is proof of the
future."
While the French were held up by
strong Serman defensive positions, the
American Second Division stacked on
two-mile front west of Somme-Py
broke through the enemy positions and
rapidly advanced a distance of 5
miles, capturing the formidaole heights
of Blanc Mont and Medeah Farm. The
rapid advance turned the German posi
ions In the mountain region east o
Rheims.
Boys Advance Swiftly.
The attack of the Second Division
was preceded by the preliminary clear
ing up of the German first and second
lines, which were protected by wires
This operation was accomplished in
few- hours. A general attack was
aunched on the morning of October 3.
The Americans swept away all resist-
nce. They found that on the left
flank the German line, known as the
Essen trench, was pouring in an en
filading fire from machine guns. AI
though this trench lay In the sector to
the left, the Americans sent over de
tachments and soon conquered It.
So rapid was the advance of the
Second Division ihat the Americans had
reached the German observatory on
Blanc Mont before the German com
mand In the rear knew what had hap
pened. The observers on duty in the
tower saw a large number of Amer
cans approaching. Knowing that the
Germans had planned a strong counter
attack for the same morning, he wrote
a message to his headquarters com
menting on the progress of the German
counter-attack, since large numbers of
Americans could be seen coming to the
rear. He was captured before he could
send the message.
Yanks Dislike to Stop,
During the day of October 3 the
Americans made two advances of more
than two miles each. The first was
to Blanc Mont and Medeah Farm and
the second to the bank of the River
Arnes, In front "of St. Etlenne. They
advanced so far there was great dan
ger of their being cut off and encir
cled. A French division was put in to
straighten out the line. Its attack on
the morning of October 4 was retarded
