AMERICA THRILLED BY THE NEWS
(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) NEW YORK, 13th September. There was an intense thrill throughout America at to-day's news of the first American offensive, which is considered to be the forerunner of an eventual American invasion of Germany. It is emphasised, however, that the present operations are limited presumably to the elimination of the St. Mihiel salient, though there is a possibility that General Pershing may follow up and attack in the direction of Metz. Mr. IST. D. Baker (Secretary of War) was at the St. Mihiel sector observing the operations.
