Within the next few days the British advanced lines must withstand Germany's most pow erful counter-attacks since the start of the allied offensive July 1. The newly-won positions out of Posleres. from which the Germans were forced out, will be the point of attack. This was the opinion of military observers here today. They pointed out that the Germans flare admitted ly transferred large Reserve forces to this salient from Verdun. Knowl edge of that fact made the British success reported yesterday by Gen eral Ralg all the more satisfactory, but it likewise gave notice to mili tary experts here that the Germans, feeling the menace In the British en circling movement from Posleres westward and eastward from Hill 141, south of Thiepral, would at tempt Its checking with every re source of men and guns at their com mand. In their positions at Posleres the British are only a trifle over six miles from Bapaume, the Immediate ob jective of the British drive.

Guy Hartmann, scout for the United States punitive expedition, under charges of revenue frauds at Fort Smith, Ark., was taken back to Santa Fe, N. M., today by United States marshals to await formal extradition. Because of the illness of Federal Judge Pope of New Mexico, proceed ings for removal of Hartmann from the state have been transferred to the Denver district. Hartmann is willing to go without formal papers. J. S. Bark man, of the revenue ser vice, who arrived from Little Rock yesterday, declared the frauds charged against Hartmann and ac complices aggregated $385,000. The prisoner recognized Barkman and said he wanted to return with him and stand trial. .' "I am glad you're here." said Hart mann. "I had hoped by my services to the country as a scout with the expedition to atone for my wrongs. I hoped to be killed In action, which may account for my seeming bravery In fights with the Vlllistas. I have a wife and daughter nine years old In South Carolina, but have not heard from them in months.' ; 'ARMY APPROPRIATION i nnr nmom nv orviTf . " " Washington, July 27.
