Bupprecht Unprepared.
Neither the tanks nor the troops en
countered a gr,eat deal of barb wire or
trenches. Obviously Bupprecht either
over-estimated himself or underrated his
opponents. It is clear that he little (ex
pected a serious allied offensive. Bath
er, he was aiming to push on himself.
Th,o present battle line is just south
of the old Somme shell-hole country,
which Field Marshal Von Hindeuburg
laid waste in J17 during his retreat. He
dynamited farms and villages, felled
orchards and trees bordering roads and
von cleared away the underbrush, giv
ing as his excuse that he was preparing
the ground for open warfare in tho fu-
turo, when the British would have this
desert at their backs and the dnoaded
German "superman" in front.
Today Von Hindenburg's legions are
being pressed back against the Hun-
mado waste, with scarcely one small tr,ce
or brush for protection. Marshals Foch
and Haig apparently have caught Von
Hindeuburg unawares. If he escapes a
bitter drubbing, present signs are to
tally misleading.
SUIT IN CIRCUIT COURT
(Continued from page one)
London, Aug. 9. The allies have
penetrated to an average depth of eight
miles on the whole 20 mile front
, French and Canadian troops advanc
ed two miles this morning toward the
Uoutdidier-Chaolnes railway. The Ca
nadians captured Beaufort, four miles
south of Bosleres.
Chaulnes is now known to he the at
lies' objective. It is probable that Mont
didier soon will he evacuated.
The Amiens-St. Just-Paris main rail
way can now be used, as the result of
the allied offensive, it is learned. The
railway is in good condition and prob
ably already is working.
London, Aug. 9. British troops,
while sweeping forward on their new
offensive front in Picardy, suddenly
advanced in Flanders today.
initial progress of two miles on an
eight anilo front along tho southwest
ern portion of the Flanders salient was
repoted by the .British war offtce, to
gether with the capture of five villages.
In Picardy, the capture of Morlan-
court and arrival of British cavalry at
Lhauincs junction was reported in un
official dispatches. The latter reports
an additional gain of about four miles
since yesterday and a total penetration
of more than twelve miles. The Brit
ish war office reported 14,000 prisoners
taken.
More tjjan 14,000 prisoners and an
enormous, number of guns havo been
captured in the British drive in Picar
dy, according to the latest reports re
ceived today.
Haig's official report last night de
scribed the allied line as extending
from Braches, northeastward through
Plessier-Boseainvillers, Beaucourt and
Vaix, to Framervillo, then northwest
ward through Chiilly to a point west
of Morlancourt.
(This is a front of about twenty
miles.)
Framerville, the apex of the allied
salient, is about nine miles east of Vil-lers-Bretonneux

ice, he enlisted in the avintion section
and now holds a responsible position
with the government at B.odwood, C'nl.
However, when it become evident that
the new draft law would be passed and
men between the ages of 18 and 21 j
and ol and 43 be obliged to register,
Wolfard faced the prospects of another
icgistration and a possible transfer in
service.
In a petition fik'd this week before
the circluit court, it is alleged that Wol
fard ia now with the aviation service in
California and that a mistake was made
when he registered with the govern
ment Juao 5, 1917 under tho impression
that he was under 31 years of age. The
petition states that ho is holding an
important position with the government
and that it is for the best interest of
both the government and Wolfard that
he remain where he is now employed.
Also, asking the court to officially es
tablish his age in order that the mis
take in registering might be rectified.
After hearing the testimony of John
M. Wolfard, father of Louis J. Wolfard,
of his sister, Mrs. Donna W. Aldridi,
another -sister, Mrs. Ada Van Valken
burg and Julia Hunter, a neighbor and
the introduction pf family records,
Judgri Bingham issued a decree to the
effect that Louis J. Wolfard was born
May jfi, 1885. Hence at the time he reg
ivter.'d he was 32 years, one month and
li days old.
According to the usual procedure in
such rases, this local exemption board
ad the adjutant general will releaw

GERMAN LINE WEAK.
Br Lowell Mellctt.
(Capital Journal Special Service.)
With the French Armies in tho
Field, Aug. 8. (Night) One thing
apparently revealed by the German lack
of. resistance at some points on tho
Albcr't-Montdidier front today was tho
degree with which the enemy line was
stripped to furnish men for the disas
trous Marne campaign.
Tho part played bjr tho French in
today's battle was comparatively small,
merely sustaining tho right wing of
tho British advance. They actually
started on a front of only four kilo
meters (two and a half miles) but later
this was widened.
At the beginning of tho attack the
French lino was between Bonrges ami
a point West of Morizel, south of the
Amiens-Roye ' road. With the widen
ing of the line, it Included tho whole
of the Avre river as far as llargicourt
(four miles north of Montiliilier.)
Three hours after the 'French infantry
dashed forward it was holding tho wood
northeast of Moreuil and the town of
Morizcl. In the latter place stiff re
sistance was encountered, necessitating
a flanking movement from tho north
west. Four hundred prisoners wero
taken there ami many boches killed.
The Avre wns crossed between Bra
dies and f'astel (a front of about four
miles,) the infantry wading, Bwimming
and utilizing the new bridges. Be
cause of the steep bank opposite, as well
as the sloping ground beyond, this wns
lery could come up.
After the fall of Moreuil the Ger
mans became panicky and fell back
rapidly, the French taking Braches, La
Neuvillc end tho heights north of it in
quick succession. Lnter they took
VillerB-aux-Krables and caried their line
forward to a.lipo running through Mcz
iores and tho heights east of La Neu
villc, including Hill 102, making a to
tal advance of from six to seven kilo
meters (three and three quarters to
four and third miles.)
Bulletins from the Front.
