AMERICANS HAVE BROKEN VAUNTED Caved Is Hindenburg Line For Four Miles In Yesterdays Attack By Lowell Mellett (United Press staff corresponlcnt) With tho British Armies in France, Sept. 30. The Americans have con tributed their share to smashing the bugaboo of tho westorn front tho Hin denburg line. On a front of six thousand yards (about four miles) they caved in the German defease yesterday, making en irreparable breach and penetrating a distance equal to the front of their at tack. They opened tho way for the Aus tralians to .shove on still farther. Early . today tho Yankees hal reor ganized their units and swung sharply to the left, threatening a greatly in creased break in the enemy line thru an enveloping movement. . Tho battle yesterday was unusually spectacular. The flaBh of guns illumi nated the country for miles around throughout the night. The artillery suddenly ceased at dawn. Then the si lence was broken again by the Amer ican barrage. Behind their own shells, dropping in an even line ahead of thorn, tho Am ericans could be seen clambering over the rough broken ground. Thoy advanc ed in hundred yard dashes, the bar rage doing the same. i'ive minutes took them into a thick maze of wires, though this had been partially cleared away by instantane ous fuse shell. Six minutes after tho barrage start ed British guns fired the shells tho Germans put down a counter barrage. They only sueecded in bothering the first support companies, however, with out catching the first wave. A smoke barrage by tho enemy sim ultaneously hid the whole bnttlo field fur several minutes. When it cleared away the Americans were revealed running steadily ahead. The British guns , then apparently smothered the boche artillery, for that was the last seen of the enemy barrage. At tho left the Americans found thpmni'lve plunging ni'rons the Hinden burg defenses. There tho work of the instantaneous fuse shells had been al most complete. Machine gun nests were wiped out with rifles and grenades and some prisoners were sent back. The Americans on the right were do layed by ordinary machino gun e-m-pliycments in front of the main de fenso but they reached the main IJno after tneir comraoes. ineir rusn pre vented them completely mopping up the ground, leaving considerable work for the. Australians following them. With the Americans went a largo number of tanks as well as certain numbr of whippets. Simultaneously the British attacked on a smaller stretch of the line to the right, while another British unit moved forward sliiihtly in a supporting action to the left. Americana struck at a point where General Von Hutinr's army joins with that of General Von Dermarwitz. Thny faced the Eighth. Fifty 1'onrth, 121st and 185th divisions with others in reserve. DEFENSE LINE FRESH TROOPS ; ' (Continued from pflgo onoj : ; that tho allies are attacking every where. '.'I'll tell tho Buddies up in the line' the Hoinieg are getting hell," he said. "This news will cheer them up." Replying to an inquiry, ho said ha had not eaten that duy. Ho wag deep ly grateful when he vwas given half a can of bully beef and some-bread." Overhead a flock of airplanes patroll ed back and forth, signalling our ar tillery. Two stray boches, venturing to approach thorn, were promptly chased buck. Four muddy doughboys, skirting tho lines of ugly barbed wire surround ing Montfaucon stopped for a minute to rest and chat. They were Pennsylva nia signal corps men who had been sent back to find more supplies, which would bo necessary after the next ad vance. They told how their pals in the front line wore charging machino guns, slowing down un'der fire, then skirmish ing ahead bit by bit, giving tho ar tillery a chance to punish the nests before they dashed ahead and took them. The sigunl corps men had not slept for two days but declared they wore not tircit Tbcy said the Bume ap plied to the men up ahead, who thought only of pushing on. . Down tho road an artillery lieuten ant came leading three caissons, man- ned ny vv aslniigtun men, "Way, have you seen an artillery dump around here?" asked tho lieu tenant, "We've got to rush up nioro shells." We told him of a dump off to the right and they clattered off in that di rection. Returning after giving up hope that the bodies would quit strafiifg the ruins of Montfaucon long enough' fur us to inspect them, wo pushed through woods and over slippery hills, where more litter men were carrying wound ed to the rear, .An Oregon doctor in charge of a "sorting" station asked for news did not know of Bulgaria's requesTfor ponce. He accepted a French dully pa per. "I don't know French, but I can fig ure out BOino of tho news," he m'ul. The Germans are changing the type of their defense lines, deserting con crete strong points fur flexible ma chine gun nests. Usually their infan trymen are grouped behind bushes or lie in the tall grass, not firing until tho attackers are close to them. Apparently each lino of machino guns and lino of infantry tries to de lay tho American advance as much as -possible, depending upon tho next line to take up the burden afterward. The Americans have been surprised to find fewer trenches than they ex pected, but much wire, behind the do serted Hindenburg line. Infiltration of American patrols through the defenses has not been difficult. The engineer arc speedily improving ell necessary roads. During the first two days of the advance some roads were almost impassible, streams of trnffie continu ally slipping into mud holes. Puffing tractors, sometimes two or three hook ed together, pulled trucks, guns and wagons from ditches. The transportation problem, howov er, has bceomo less difficult with our arrival behind the ' former GiTmau mai ndefenses and better weather.
