Operating over rough ground they ran down enemy groups and individuals, flattening; out machine gun nests, grind ing tho crews into the mud and ter rorizing whole sectors. I was told that members of the tank staff kept in touch with their machines from low flying airplanos, thus covering the whole battlefield in a f.ew minutes and re turning with first hand information re garding the entire situation. 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 and represontg an ad' vance of about eight miles.

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.

(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.)
