The Germans have materially stif fened their defense against the British, American and French troops on the Plcardy battlefront. but the yhavs been unable to stem the tide. Although the forward push of the allies has been slowed down, they have made important progress from the north of the Somme, where the Ameri cans and British are fighting together, to the northern bank of the Olse, held by the French. Americans and British are pressing closely uDon Bray-Sur-Somme, aided by tanks and armored cars. Across the river the Germans heav ily engaged the British at Llhons and Its vicinity, and at one point pierced the British line and gained the out skirts of Llhons. A counter attack re stored the British line and the enemy retired to positions east and north. Unofficial reports credit the British with entering Chaulnes anl the British cavalry with a penetration ol the ene xny's territory almost to Itesles. Great Progreaa Blade. The arrest progress has been made by the French from the region lmme dlately southwest and south of Roye to the Olse River.

While the rear guard battle continues between the Vesle and the Aisne a new battle has begun west of tne Oise. The Eng lish armies in action during the second ! battle of the Marne had seemed Strang. It was logical that a Franco-British at tack should second the t Franco-American offensive between the Marne and the Vesle. Some English divisions did take part, in the battle in the region of Rhelms. It would appear as if the lnter-allied high command was await ing the results of the battle of the Marne before launching an offensive in Plcardy. An offensive by Prince Ru- precht's army to relieve the pressure on the German Crown Prince was to be feared, although Ruprecht had sent some divisions to the tatter's aid.

A fourth party will leave for the farm this afternoon, making a total of 60 youngsters who will have enjoyed this out-of-door vacation this season. The boys who returned Saturday hiked from the farm to Cascadla, a distance of 30 miles, during their outing. "Big Brother Farm" was established five years ago by Mr. and Mrs. Chester A. Lyon. Its purpose Is to provide a pleasant, healthful Summer outing for Mr. ana Mrs. LONDON, Aug. 11. Today the situa tion south of the Somme was becoming more stabilized.

As the Germans under cover dithyrambic victories had hinted the eventuality of a new Hindenburg strategic retreat, there was cause for the allied armies to continue the pres sure on Fere-En-Tardenols on the Vesle at the same time, In order to get elbow room on the Somme region.

The smoke of large fires continues to be seen far behind the enemy's lines and the movement of long transport columns eastward Is considered evl dence that it Is the intention of the enemy ultimately to retreat to new lines of defense.

Surprise, there fore, is still the order of the day. In the present battle the attacks seem to have been launched as was Mangin's, on July 18. without any bom bardment not even a short one but simply preceded by creeping barrages supported by masses of tanks. Here we see quite a new form of operation In open warfare. It must be admitted that It was Ludendorff who caused surprise to enter as an essential factor in bat tle 'and the rupture of armed fronts During three years the dogma of the Insolubility of trenches and barbed wire entanglements had been included In the minds of headquarters staff. However, on the Somme in 1916 and 1917, the German commander who was still obliged to divide his forces be tween the western and the eastern fronts realized that In the end its de fense would be shattered by the terri ble hammering of the Anglo-French gunners. It escaped from this danger by resigning Itself to the great with drawal of March, 1917, behind the Hin denburg line. Russian Defection Aids. Thanks, above all. to the Russian de fection it was able to gain time to pre pare new methods of attack by gather ing anew, as in 1914. almost all its forces on the western front. Perhaps it would have felt Its way, hesitating between the old and new forms under consideration, if the two surprises at Caporetto (Italian front) and Cambral (French front) had not suddenly Illumed it regarding the pos sibilities of breaking through . the strongest lines of trenches by action as violent as rapid, based on the secret massing of troops In force for a shock against a well determined weak point. - Excited and carried away Dy unex pected success In marching June last, the German military chiefs it is in tentionally that I do not say Hinden burg and Ludendorff, for I suspect that the Crown Prince and his private coun sellors overruled the supreme chiefs thought the surprise would favor them and that their adversaries were at their mercy. They have been surprised in their turn; surprised July 11 by the de fensive measures ordered by the allied commandant which extricated the front lines, caused a miscarriage and rendered vain all the preparations for an initial shock attack; surprised July 18 by the arrangements for a counter-attack made and prepared with the greatest secrecy under the cover of woods as camouflage a counter attack of exceptional vim, such as French and American soldiers alone are capable of without artillery prepara tion supported by the tanks, which constituted the accompanying material of infantry. We see the same surprise In opera tion today In Plcardy. There really Is something changed In warfare.
