Sept 12 The British have made further important progress WASHINGTON, Sept 12 Sixteen months of vast war effort by the United Statea reached its first goal today when Gen Pershing's forces struck their first independent blow in France against the German Army. Reports tonight show that success was meeting the American commander's effort to fling the enemy out of the sharp salient thrust in behind the fortress of Verdun. But of even greater significance to Government officials was the fact that the all-American attack meant that. the months of ceaseless toil and effort have now brought forth a third great organized army backed by- Yesterday's Reels 1917 ReB- Bohtnn'h ringing answer, yesterday, to the Kaiser's tiomtiastlo assertion that America could not and would not fight wis the enrollment of 102,867 men between the aKes of 1H and 45 years.

Approximately 1000 Germans were made prisoner in the operations. The French official statement regarding the battle in Picardy says: "West of St Quentin, in cooperation With the British, we advanced as far as the" Holnon-Savy road." This is about three miles west of St Quentin. According to Dutch frontier messages the Germans are preparing to inundate the regions of the Aisne northeast of Rheims, says a dispatch from Amsterdam to the Central News Agency. At some places dams have been constructed in the river, which can bft closed on short notice, and special bridges have been built.

Estimated. Are Hit by Ruling RETURNS FROM CITY DIVISIONS Using Foch Pincer Tactics At first it seemed possible that the objective of the attack was Metz, just beyond the German border on the Moselle River. Later accounts made it clear, however, that Gen Pershing had determined to employ the pincer tactics Marshal Foch has used with repeated success. Almost due south of Verdun, the town of St Mihiel stood at the apex of a great enemy wedge driven into the French lines. Along the eastern curve of this salient, American troops have stood for months.

Americans also were on the line between Verdun and St Mihiel, but St Mihiel itself was held by the French, for the fate of Verdun rested upon that line. Surging forward on a 12-mile front to the east of St Mihiel, Pershing's men have rolled over the complicated defenses of the enemy and thrust out a steel-shod jaw behind the enemy forces that hold the town.

President Wilson was expected to announce his verdict tonight, but did not do so. He is, however, understood to have before him the recommendations of the War and Navy Departments, the director general of railroads, the chairman of the Shipping Board and other department heads directly concerned in the relation of labor to wartime production that demands drastic treatment to strikers who do not abide by the decisions of the War Labor Board.

English troops attacked and captured Trescault and the old British trench lines to the east and north of it.

On their right New Zealand troops made progress east of the Gouzeaucourt wood, overcoming the obstinate resistance of a German Jaeger division. "At Havrincourt the 62d (Yorkshire) Division, which carried the village on Nov 20, 1917, attacked for a second time over the same ground and with like success. Other English troops attacked across the Canal du Nord north of Havrincourt. After sharp fighting our troops captured the village, together with the section of the Hindenburg line between the village and the canal. "North of the Bapaume-Cambrat road Ijancashire troops completed the capture of Moeuvres, also after sharp fighting.

"About 1000 prisoners have been taken by us in these operations.

Sweet Corn, Washington, Closing Mouth of Trap From the other side another American thrust has carried the lines forward to meet the bulge from the east, and a grim trap is being drawn about the enemy forces that remain in the salient. It was only 20 miles across the mouth of the pocket and the reports tonight showed that this had been closed in to less than 15 miles. Through that narrowing gap the German forces must escape; and to withdraw they must shake oft the French forces which are battering them all along the St Mihiel front. Officers here believed there was promise that Gen Pershing might succeed in closing the neck of the bag and trapping a considerable force.

The fact that the enemy was still offering stubborn resistance in St Mihiel showed there was a considerable German force still in the trap. The American attack, as it now shapes up, is a. major action, it is said, and there is no doubt that the strongest American forces yet employed are en- Ccnttnued on the Fifth Page. per doz NO VARSITY FOOTBALL AT HARVARD, UNDER RULING The request of the War Department that no Fall gridiron schedules be arranged by educational institutions having Student Army Corps was not much of a surprise to those connected with Harvard athletics, and the same is probably true at Yale and Princeton. None of the Big Three had made definite arrangements to resume the sport as a university organized proposition, and of course will not now do so.

Dean Briggs, chairman of athletics at Harvard, is at his Summer home, and so could not be communicated with last night. Maj Fred W. Moore, intelligence officer of the Department of the Northeast, and graduate treasurer of athletics at Harvard, said that nothing had been done at Harvard this Fall with regard to organized football, it being generally assumed that all the football material there would be absorbed by the student army training corps. He said that football undoubtedly will be played, but under the direction of United States Army officers. "Football undoubtedly Is a splendid game for preparing boys for the service, but it is not the quickest way of making a soldier or an officer," said Maj Moore.

"It does not seem to me that it would be possible to carry on organized football activities as a university proposition under the present conditions." 3,661 Brookline 2,323 8weet Corn, Yellow, per do. 2So Lettuce 6c i.itK.tn it BOSTON TOWN'S New 8plnach, peck, WILL SUPPORT STRIKERS NEWARK, J.
