The U.S. army has magnificently met and passed through its last and greatest test and the country rightly thrills with pride at the achievement. It is not merely that the Saint Mihiel salient was flattened out in record time, with large captures of men and guns and that the movement still progresses. The attack was a superb demonstration that an American army little experienced in modern warfare can successfully initiate and carry through an offensive all its own save for French aid on its flanks.
