"Victory, indeed," in General Gouraud's phrase, "had changed her camp!" Led by her, the British, French, and American Armies streamed east and north through the few days that remained, pursuing a beaten and demoralised enemy.

The final American advance was begun on November 1st, and on November 7th patrols of the 42nd Division reached the Meuse at Wadelincourt, opposite Sedan; while the Fifth Division was in the Forest of Woevre, and the 90th Division had captured Stenay.
Some very interesting figures have lately been given as to the forces under General Pershing's command.

Altogether some 770,000 men seem to have been employed--both east and west of the Meuse--of whom 138,000 were French.

Forty-six German divisions, amounting, according to the American estimate, to about 350,000 men, opposed the American advance.
The casualties are given as 115,000--among them 26,000 killed[8]--for the American troops, and 7,000 for the French.

The enemy casualties are estimated at 75,000, and 16,000 prisoners were taken.
[8] According to the latest estimate I have seen.
One incident, relatively unimportant, but wonderfully picturesque, is sure to find a place in the American song and story of the future.
