The American army was now able for the first time to prepare for an offensive with some deliberation, nnder reasonably dot-mai dot-mai conditions and more nearly on an equal footing with the other armies. Our staffs and troops had become veterans. French special units of artillery, pioneers, engineers, rail and service troops bad been largely large-ly replaced by Americans. The army was operating In a sector whlcii had been nnder Its control for s month and more. Hitherto, ss on September 12 and 26, we had held the front bnt a brief period Instead of being several months on the ground, as was usually the case with the allies. Preparatory to the general attack at-tack the front line had now been reorganized. Inefficient commanders command-ers bad been replaced by active, energetic men, and large quantities of ammunition, supplies and equipment equip-ment had been brought up. Our line occupied favorable positions from which to start this offensive. From east of Landres-et-St Georges to the Meuse we were beyond the Hfndeiiburg line defenses, and at the Cote de Chatlllon we flanked the enemy's positions In and near Landreset-St. Georges. Having gained the northern edge of the Hols de Uanthevllle we were within with-in striking distance of the heights of Hurrleourt. We hud learned from reports and from photographs taken by our aviators that the enemy had greatly strengthened the most prominent points back of his lines, while cuptured documents Indicated Indicat-ed his Intention of organizing a position along the west slopes of the Barrfeourt ridge. The eastern fcpurs of this ridge commanded all the crossings of the Meuse and formed a connecting link with the high ground east of the river about Cote Sulnt-Germaln. The Infantry advanced to the assault at 5:30 the morning of November No-vember 1. following an accurate barrage of artillery and machine- gun tire, which beat down German resistance over a sone of 1,200 yards In depth. Squadrons of swift-flying combat planes drove tue enemy planes from the air and fired on the hostile Infantry, while the bombing squadrons harassed Important points behind the enemy's ene-my's lines. The attack went forward for-ward with precision, gaining mo mentum with every mile.. , For the first time the enemy's lines were completely broken through. Although be had been badly beaten on all parts of the front he had hitherto been able to avoid this disaster. Bj the magnificent mag-nificent dash of our First army, however, the enemy now found himself In the same situation that had confrouted the allies earlier In the wur. The Fifth corps in the center drove a wedge Into the German defenses, de-fenses, swept through the sone of their artillery, and by night had reached the heights of Barrlcourt, Ave miles from the front of departure. de-parture. The enemy's lines bad been decisively crushed, thanks to the splendid performances of the Eighty-ninth and Second divisions. The Third corps had strongly supported the Fifth corps, the Ninetieth division carrying "all Its objectives without a reverse, and the Fifth division on Its right reaching the Meuse, north of Brleulles, and capturing Clery-le-Grand. On the left of the army In the First corps the Eightieth division co-operated with the Second division divi-sion Is the capture of Imecourt and reached the corps objective north of Sivry. The remainder of the corps was unable. In spite of great efforts, to make much headway head-way against the Hols des Logos, although the Seventy-eighth division divi-sion did gain a foothold In that wood. Hy the evening of November 1 the situation of the enemy was so serious that be bad either to deliver deliv-er a strong counterattack or to withdraw from all territory south of Bucaucy-Roult-aux-Dols. The blow struck by the First srmy had, however, given him such a shock that he was unable to take strong offensive action, although he still offered serious resistance. Germans Hurled Beyond Meuse. The attack continued with vigor November 2 and 3, the Third corps burling the enemy .beyond the Meuse sear Dun-sur-Meuse snd Stenay. The Fifth division on the 2nd captured foulcon and the Ninetieth took Vlllers-devant-Dun, Tbe following day the Nine tieth pushed through the woods on Its front and established Its line along the heights overlooking the river in the neighborhood of Vlllefranche. In the Fifth corps the Eighty-ninth Eighty-ninth division November 2 cap-tared cap-tared Tallly In tbe face of heavy macblnt-guo fire, and the following follow-ing day seised Barrlcourt and dreve the enemy backward to IWanclalr. Tbe Second division made a slight advance on this date, resuming the attsck the 3rd. That sight tbe Third brigade (CoL James C Rhea), by a perilous peril-ous night march through tbe extensive ex-tensive Fortt da LXvulet passed completely beyond the enemy's lines snd captured German troops In their billets Hy midnight the head f the column was In firm possession of Is Tuilerle farm. Just south of Beaumont. Tbe success ot tbe stuck In the Li W.RU. Satvtca center, November 1, compelled the retirement of the enemy on the entire front of the First corps. The Eightieth division on tbe 2nd reached the new German defensive position, broke through it and took liuzancy. The following day, against heavy fire, the Eightieth established its line along the road running southeast from St Plerre-mont. Plerre-mont. The Seventy-seventh division now succeeded In passing Chara-plgneullea, Chara-plgneullea, and by the night of tbe 2nd had reached Barrlcourt The following morning It drove the enemy to the hill north of 8t Plerremont where it was held up by heavy machine-gun Are. Tbe Seventy-eighth division cap-tared cap-tared the Bols des Loges the 2nd, and established Its line along the eastern edge of tbe Bols de Bonr-gogne Bonr-gogne north to Brlquenay, snd continuing on the 8rd, captured Gertnont and Verrleres.

Our advance has been continuous. Recommended Uarbord and McAndrews for promotion to grade of lieutenant general." By November 4, the enemy, greatly disorganized, was retiring before the vigorous pursuit of our troops on the entire front of the First army. His withdrawal was strongly protected by cleverly placed machine guns and well-organized delaying operations. The following telegram came to me on tha afternoon of the 5th: "The operations begun November No-vember 1 by the First American Ameri-can amy, due to the valor of the command and to the energy ener-gy and bravery of the troops, have already assured results of great Importance. I am happy to send you my congratulations. "FOCH." CHAPTER LXV! Our success bad been so striking since the beginning of the November Novem-ber 1 attack that I felt full advantage advan-tage should be taken of the possibility possi-bility of destroying the armies on our front and seizing the region upon which Germany largely depended de-pended for her supply of Iron and coat In accordance with these views the following order was Issued Is-sued to the First and Second armies : 1. Tbe energetic action of the First army should completely com-pletely expel the enemy from the region between the Meuse and the Bar within the next few day a. Tbe results obtained by this army hsve been felt on the entire front from the Moselle to Holland. ... "H Is desired that In carrying carry-ing out the directions that are outlined herein, corps and division di-vision commanders push troops forward wherever resistance Is broken, without regard for fixed objectives and without fear for their flanks. Special attention will be given to Impress Im-press upon all officers and soldiers sol-diers that energy, boldness and open warfare methods are demanded by the present situation. situ-ation. "2. Tbe First and Second armies will at once prepare to undertake operations with the ultimate purpose of destroying destroy-ing the enemy's organization and driving hira beyond the existing ex-isting frontier In the region of Brley and Lonewy. . . .

Now for the first time since 1914, the French positions around Verdun were completely free from the menace of these heights. In these operations tbe Fifth division, di-vision, assisted by a regiment of the Thirty-second, on November 6 had captured Mllly and established its line from there south to the Bols de Chatillon. By night of the 9th it bad advanced to Remolvllle and north of Mouzay. Our front was also extended to the south, and by November 10 an excellent line of departure was secured se-cured for an offensive in the direction direc-tion of Montmedy. The Seventy-nlntb Seventy-nlntb division (Kuhn), in the French Second Colonial corps, met decided opposition in its attacks of the 4th, 5th and 6th against the Borne de Cornoulller, and this strong point was finally taken on the 7th.

The Forty-second and the First then began a race for the honor of capturing Sedan. Part of these divisions had entered the tone of the French Fourth army and were waging a fight with the enemy for the possession of the heights south and west of Sedan. Tbe morning of November 7 found men of the Forty-second and the First divisions on the heights overlooking the city. Under normal nor-mal conditions the action of tne officer or officers responsible for this movement of the First division divi-sion directly across the sectors of two other divisions would not baye been overlooked, but the splendid record of that unit and the approach ap-proach of the end of hostilities suggested leniency. The enemy's main line of communications com-munications was now within range of the machine guns of the First army, which had driven him 24 miles since November 1. His position posi-tion on the western front was no longer tenable and he urged Immediate Imme-diate consideration of an armistice. Late on November 9 Marshal Foch, then In conference with German Ger-man representatives regarding the terms of the armistice, sent telegraphic tele-graphic Instructions to all allied commanders In chief from which It might be Inferred that he was uncertain regarding the outcome of negotiations and wished to let the enemy know that there could be no further delay. The following was the message received: "The enemy, disorganized by our repeated attacks, retreats along tbe entire front "It Is important to co-ordinate and expedite our movements. move-ments. "I appeal to the energy and the initiative of the commanders command-ers in chief of their armies to make decisive the results 'obtained." 'ob-tained." No Respite for Enemy. Orders in response to this appeal ap-peal were Immediately issued and their execution by tbe First army was under way November 10 and 1L let here again no sort of urging urg-ing was necessary. Our troops were determined not to plva the enemy any respite. Already the crossing oi tne aieuse bad been planned for the whole army, and the Fifth corps got over during the night of the lOth-llth. Part of the Eighty-ninth division crossed on rafts Just west of Poullly, and others oth-ers In the rear of the Ninetieth division (Allen). The Second division was unable to force a crossing at Mouzon, as planned, but about a mile south of Vlliemontry tbe engineers of the division, with exceptional rapidity and skill, threw two bridges across, over which one regiment passed. The Seventy-seventh division, now on the left of the Fifth corps, only sent over patrols on the 10th and 11th, the low ground north of the river opposite Its front being flooded flood-ed by heavy rains and damming operations by the Germans. The First corps from November 6 to 10 was withdrawing its divisions divi-sions to points on the Meuse between be-tween Dun-sur-Meuse and Verdun, preparatvj ts a general attack which would have as Its object the turning of the enemy's strong position posi-tion in front of the Fifth corps. East of the Meuse the First army advanced in conjunction with the Second army, which had been earnestly earn-estly preparing for this moment ever since its organization. Under the instructions issued by tne November 5 for the advance of the First and Second armies, which received approval of Marshal Foch In a personal note of November 8, the Second army made advances along its entire front In the direction direc-tion of the Brley Iron basin during the last three days of hostilities.
