QUICK BLOWS ON BOTH FLANKS.
INCREASED AMERICAN EFFORT.
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association),
(Received Sept. 16, 5.5 p.m.)
Washington, Sept. 14. General March explains that the salient being captured means quick blows on both flanks. The terrain is difficult. The Germans claimed that they voluntarily retired, but General March points' out that the total of the captured prisoners exceeded 15,000.
Propaganda has been active stating that the United States does not intend to proceed vigoro\xsly with the war. General March says such a suggestion is utterly unfounded and preposterous. Instead the War Department is about to ask for an increased appropriation totalling 1,400,000,000 dollars for military purposes.
St. Mihiel was not destroyed owing to the Germans' hurried retreat.
