The American operation east of the Mcusn, which now has been extended some miles hoyond the river, was planned with skill and daring and proved entirely success ful. Tho result has heon to thrust tack the hntllo lino to tho position It occupied when the Germans launchod tholr formidalilo offensive ugalnst Vordun In 1918. Tho helKhts of the Meuse narrow ed down to a inero holtle neck where the Amorlean front joined It previous to this operation nnd It was this nar rowness that created the difficulty for tho a'tack. With tho river and Its marshy lowlands hehlnd them, tho Amorlcans attacked and justified the hold maneuver by their success. Austrian Km-privcd Tho cnomy hail massed his troops and batteries in slnmKly-fortllled po sitions and had left Austro lIunar- U n troops to hold the line cast of the river. These troops were taken com pletely by surprise. There was no artillery preparation becauso It would hive required four or five days of artillery fire to clear nway tho masses of barbed wire. The nature of tho ground precluded tho-uo of tanks, nnd tho attack was uniiio in IbionklnR thru tho strongly wired de fenses by tho surprlso method.

East of the Meuse the American and French forces have pushed for ward a mile and a half on a four mile front and are now within ten miles of the Valenciennes-Metz rail way system, the cutting of which would break one of the Germans' main communication lines back to Germany. 1.900.000 YANKS OVERSEAS.
