MIHIEL SALIENT Siberians Declare War on Germany Olovannaya, Trans Baikal —The Si berian government at Omsk, a forti fled town of Asiatic Rassia, has de elared war on Germany, and has or dered the mobilization of the 1918 and 1919 classes. Are you going to do any building or repair work this fall? Are you going to build a new barn, machine shed or root cellar? With the American Army in Lor raine.—The St. Mihiel salient has been wiped out and the enemy forces are now virtually with their backs on the famous Wotan-Hindenburg line with the Americans and French paral leling them closely from Verdun to the Moselle. Before the American attack the Ger- man defense caved In and Pershing’s troops swept on hours ahead of their schedule. The performance of the Americans stationed on the western side of the St. Mihiel salient, with the assistance of the French, constitutes one of the most brilliant pages of American his tory thus far in the great struggle. It was this unit which accomplished two of the most notable strategic 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 regi ment at night through woods infested with Germans to Vigneulles. there to effect a liason with troops working from the eastward. In carrying out these two moves the allies encountered the stiffest opposi tion of the offensive. They fought desperately and counter attacked re peatedly. Vilcey-Sur-Trey and Norroy, near the Moselle, were included in the ter ritory regained by the Americans when the line stretching from the Hinden burg positions was swung slightly up ward on the extreme right. Both American wings are reported to be straightening out and co-ordinating their positions across the late St. Mi hiel salient. Our patrols now control the area between the American lines and the Hindenburg reserve defenses. The Germans are digging in far to the rear, rather than attempting to dispute the American gains effectively.
