American Victory by First Army under Liggett
The American army under General Liggett has won a great victory in France. Critics say the First Army faced the hardest task in Marshal Foch's plan, fighting through difficult terrain and facing heavy German forces. They smashed the Hindenburg line and fortified positions, pushing forward yard by yard and closing the southern gap as German resistance collapsed. The full extent of the victory remains to be seen, but the triumph stands as a major factor in bringing Germany toward an armistice.
