YANKEES PLAYED DECISIVE PART IN ENDING AVAR

Argonne Operations in Which American Fighters Took Part, Was Crux of War. (By Associated Frets) PARIS. Nov. 18. Out of the confuBlon and daze of the crowding military events on the western" battle line since late In September, when battle followed battle until, from Flander9 to Verdun, there was ceaseless action, It is now permissible to outline, to a certain extent, the part played by the American armies In the decisive battle of. the war, which ended with . the armistice of last Monday. Military reasons heretofore have prevented accentuating the accomplishments of the Americans, except in a most general manner. The dispatches from the field have been necessarily fragmentary and possibly were overshadowed by the accounts of the more dramatic operations over the historic battle fronts to " the west. Fighters Number J50.0CO. But it now may be stated that 21 American divisions, totaling more than 760,000 American combat troops, participated in the action beginning September 26, known variously as the Battle of the Argonne and the Battle of the Meuse, but which history may call Sedan the battle that brought Germany to her knees and, as far as human foresight goes, ended the world's bloodiest and costliest war. In order to understand the military tituation which made the Argonne operaiotns the crux of the war, it is necessary to go back to the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient, in the middle of September. This brilliant American accomplishments Is still fresh in history. It cut off, at one stroke, a menacing enemy projection toward Verdun and weakened the enemy's defensive - by threatening Mctz, one of Germany's two greatest advance railway centers for distributing troops and supplies along the Montmedy-Sedau line. Metz Used as Pivot. Metz also was the pivot on which the enemy swung through Belgium Into France, and therefore obviously it was the pivot on which his retirement must hinge. The Argonne, the next step below there, threatened the great railway arteries running westward from Metz. With the conclusion of the St. Mihiel action, the steady inflow of American forces caused a displacement of power as between the allied and German armies. Thus it no longer , was necessary to pursue a policy of reducing a salient or nibbling at it. The American troops had shown what they could do. A broader policy of general attack along the entire line was adopted and the high command called upon General Tershing to take the Argonne sector, admittedly one of the most, if not entirely, the most difficult of the ,whole front. :, " British Labor Will Support Lloyd-George LONDON, Nov. 18. At a meeting of Laborites today George N. Barnes, member of the war cabinet, announced that he could best serve labor by remaining with the coalition. The nation, Mr. Barnes said, must have the highest standard of life and the highest standard of production. Happily, he added, the energies of the men no longer would be employed in creating engines of destruction. The meeting adopted a resolution of confidence in the government. .

' 'H ut Circuits' Provide Theatrical Entertainment For U: S. Soldiers

. (By Associated Press):. . :. PITTSBURGH. Fa., Nov. 18. The "hut circuit" of the theatrical performances in the American army in Fiance is perhaps the longest and largest in the world. Thomas Wood Stevens, head of the Department of Dramatic Arts at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, who has just returned from France where he was associated in the production of soldier talent shows, estimates that a single company playing every night to different soldiers, would require eleven years to go through the American army in France. "The general scheme of diversion for our men in France," said Mr. Stevens is in three general division. There is the "Over-There" Theatre League, represented In New York by George M. Cohan. Winthrop Ames and James Forbes; the French concert companies managed by Walter Johnson; and the Soldier Talent Shows under the direction of Joseph Rinden Smith. Mr. Stevens went to France primarily to help Mr. Smith with thevSoldier Talent .Shows. Together they selected 25 local directors for these performances with the various Young Men's Christian Association divisional headquarters. Now E. C. Career, chief secretary of the Y. M. C. ;A. in France has asked for more directors, and the Carnegie Institute has announced that as soori as the influenza quarantine is lifted At will begin to train 25 addi- j tional men and women Y. M. C. A. workers for this work. Difficutly of transporting properties and costumes is one of the hardest problems in improvising shows for the soldiers, according to Mr. Stevens. They had to be carried in small valises, instead of drays, piled high with trunks and the directors had to make their shows fit on the small stages of the "Y" huts instead of the big j ineatre stages. "One of my jobs has been to discover or write plays for use where no costumes or props, or even citizen's clothes can be had; that is to say, soldier plays, not war plays." said Mr. Stevens." ''My first effort in thi3 direction, called 'Three Wishes," has been given in a dozen camps at pres ent, but we want other plays just as ' we need many more directors. The twenty-five we have at work are far too few. One of the main performances given for the American soldiers was that of

a . festival play presenting the main features of the life of "Joan of Arc" written by Mr. Stevens. It was presented at Domreny, the home of Joan, three days after the great American drive on the St Mihiel salient and during Its performance Liberty motors on the way to the front were purring over the heads of the audience. Mis3 Marie Young played the part of Joan but the performance as a wole did not depend up the "professional actors but upon numerous soldier players who had been rehearsed for three weeks. Twenty-five hundred soldiers attended the performance, although none of

them are stationed at Domreny. ' 1 . The American front was for many months in the section of French Lorraine associated with Joan's career, and it is said that more than 50,000 American soldiers have made pilgrimages to. the house where she was born. Be Proud of Victory Says Foch to Armies UARIS, Nov. 18. Marshal Foch, commander irl chief, has addressed the following message to the allied armies: .
