London.—Advanced British troop* have entered their old defense system on the southern battle line held prior to the German offensive last March, according to the war office announce ment. The British have gained ground along the Vermand-Epehy line. More than 19,000. prisoners were taken by the British in France in the first week of September. The British in an advance over a four-mile front between the Havrin- court wood and Peiziere have captured all the German positions on the high ground between these two points and won their old trench positions over looking Gouzeaucourt. The advance on the St. Quentin front progressed in spite of the prev alence of heavy rain, over ground deep in mud. A fresh German division has arrived in this sector and the enemy resistance as the rearguard movement goes on seems likely to be stiffened somewhat before the Hindenburg line is finally reached. Heavy artillery duels were reported at many places along the line. The thrust launched by the British just to the north of the Arras-Cambrai road seems to bave made some prog- ress, according to reports. In Flanders the British have gained another 1600 yards to the west of Wytschaete and from reliable sources It is learned that the Germans have removed virtually all their artillery to the east of the river Lys to cover the lines they held prior to their April offensive. sai Photo by banda ern Newspaper Union) re socccacal The American Defense society is asking patriotic Americans to donate their Baedekers to the government for use by our army oflic er , abroad.

General March made no comment as to the purpose of this concentration, and said nothing that might indicate tho probability of an all American drive. He did say the custom of brigading new divisions with the French or Brit- ish forces to hasten their preparation for front line duty had not been aban- doned. - "But as our men go over there now pretty well instructed," he added, "the time they stay in the training camps there Is very much less.” In his review of the battle situation General March pointed out that the Germans are retreatlug along a 100- mile front from the Arras-Cambrai sec tor to Rheims, with French, British and Americans iu close pursuit. "The pressure which forced this re treat." General March said, "came at two points, the British front between Arras and Peronne, and the Franco- American sector on the plateau of Soissons.” Mrs. W.
