USING OLD TRICKS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE LORRAINE FRONT, Wednesday, Sept. 18.—(By the Associated Press ")—A German trick, designed to deceive the allies, has been discovered in the St. Mihiel salient, where the Germans abandoned large quantities of decoy artillery big guns, little guns, mortarg and even machine guns, made of wood and sheets of iron and tin. This dummy artillery has been found in various sections, for the most part it^ places where it could plainly be seen by photographic observers.

It ig assumed that the Germans believe the allies can be deceived by camouflaged artillery and had hoped that the allies would plan a heavy attack on the section where the artillery waa located. Some, of the larger 'guns" were made of sheet iron, mounted on worn out wheels that were scarcely able to stand even light use. In one town, a shop where this decoy art was manufactured, has Jo^eu flannd.

the Prussian guard, was repulsed by the French, who drove the enemy back of the road leading from the plateau of Ange Gardiene to the Colombes farm. This road is less than a half mile from the Chemin des Dames.

This success puts the PYench in possession of part of the important plateau of Ange Gardiene, which commando the ridge along which runs the famous "Ladies' Way" for a considerable distance. It also drives deeper the wedge south of the Hindenburg positions in St. Gobain, and facilitates operations near Pinon, which was held by the French until the .German offensive last May.

The fighting in this region has been most severe during the last few days. A glimpse of the action around the Colombes farm obtained from a point giving a view of ihe Chemin des Dames and Fort Maimaison, as well as the plateau to the soiuth on which the farm is situated, gave an idea of the tremendous task General Mangin's men have undertaken. The soldiers could be seen bounding from shell hole to shell hole and from trench to trench. From the great distance between them and the observer the only means of distinguishing the fighting forces was that the French were advancing eastward and northward upon the mass of ruins that marks the location o£ (he Colombes farm.

AMERICANS HOLD LINE

Germans Strengthen Positions, Expecting Further Attacks. AMERICAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN LORRAINE, Sept. 19.— American troops are engaged in consolidating their new lines across the base of the St. Mihiel salient, which was wiped out by them last week. The Germans are reported to be feverishly working to strengthen their lines Jp this sector, but it seems improbable that a new American assault will be made at once in this region.

It now appears that the successful drive of the Americans was for the purpose of wiping out the St. Mihiel salient, which stood as a menace to the flank of the Americana in Lorraine, and the French in Champagne, in case either attack. It being considered, therefore, as a local attack, carried with terrific force, and now that its objectives have been reached the storm center In eastern France may be shifted suddenly.

This fact, when taken into consideration with the successful attack ma.de by the British and French along the St. CiHentin front, shows that Marshal Foch has pinned down large bodies of the enemy forces in widely separated parts of the line. The Germans are forced to man heavily their lines from Metz clear through the Lorraine and Vosges sectors, while there is always a very real threat at his vital positions, north of Laon. In the meantime, the line from Rheims to Verdun always presents itself as an inviting field for an allied offensive.

SURPRISED BY AftACK.

Americans Spoil Plans of Germans to Retire From St. Mihiel. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE LORHAINE FRONT, Wednesday, Sept. 18.—(By the Associated Press.)—German prisoners captured during the American advance of last week, who have now been thoroughly interrogated, asserted that It was the German intention to abandon the St. Mihiel^ salient. This movement had been begun when the American attack surprised the enemy.

Owing to the shortage of artillery horses, the large guns in the salient were not all removed, aiwd those that were saved by the Germans were gotten away with difficulty. The enemy is now engaged in setting up wire entanglements all along the American right flank.

Prisoners Taken By Americans Tell of Discouragement As America's Force Is Felt

%inr THE AMBRICAff ARSIT ON THE LORRAINE FRONT. Wednesday, Sept. 1&.—(By the Associated Press.)—Five prisoners were captured by the Americans southeast of the village of Woel today. They belonged to the fourteenth store, battalian, and all agreed that even these crack troops are discouraged by the Franco-Amer-ican successes north of the Mame and in the St. Mihiel sector.

These units were rushed into the front lines after the Franco-American attack had begun last Thursday. The men said that Germany is hard pressed for men. This particular battalion had been in training near Briey.

A night patrol of Americans captured the Germans without firing a shot. The Germans were sleeping when the Americans crept up around them and captured them. They said the majority of the men in their cor% pany had been withdrawn from this region when the Americans began their concentration a few days ago. The low morale of the German army was the reason that the resistance encountered by the Americans was not stronger, the prisoners declared.

Depression Is Great.

One prisoner, a socialist, said the civilians in Germany *re discouraged with the way the war is going, and look upon the struggle as a capitalistic effort. There is groat depression in all parts of Germany as the result of the recent successes of the British, French and Americans, he said. "Germans everywhere are at last realizing the fact that the Americans are good fighters," he continued. "They appreciate the fact that the American successes are encouraging to the allies and discouraging to the German soldiers."

He said that the German troops estimated the Americans equal to the Germans as they were in 1»14.

BOOSTING SUFFRAGE

Mrs. (Cecelia Crawford said Thursday that as city chairman of the Women's Democratic League, she was prepared to report that the democrats of Vigo county are giving the women loyal support in their drive for new members and are willingly signing the federal suffrage amendment petition. Mrs. Crawford said that she had met with no refusals and predicted that the democratic women wcNild return one of the largest rolls of names secured in the campaign.
