GERENAL MARCH
(Continued from page one)
cate tlie following:
" 'In eight days of battle the 42nd
division has forced the passage of tho
Ourcq, taken prisoners from six .enemy
divisions, mot, routed, decimated a
crack division of the Prussian guards,
a Bavarian division and one other ana
driven buck tho enemy's lino tor lft
kilometers.' "
One Yankee Division
London, Aug. 10., (4:33 p. m.) One
division of Americans is fighting north
vt tho Somme, it was learned tins af
ternoon. (Thcro are 25,000 men in on
American' division.) " 1
The 29th division, March said, was last
reported in the Alsace sector soutneast
of Kpinal.
GENERAL FOCH
(Continued from page one)
Picardy front The battle is unoffi
cially reported to be spreading east
ward toward the Oise and northward
toward Arras. If it definitely reaches
these two points, it will cover a front
of nearly T5 miles.
Progress was reported all alone the
main Isat tie front in hard fighting this
morning. , (Several additional villages
have been taken. The total of pris
oners is officially placed at 24,000-
Captured guns are said to total 6W.
following a sharp thrust southeast
of Montdidier late yesterday, the
French today are reported to have at
tacked on a 16-mile front between that
city and the Oise. advancing four miles
within six hours and threatening the
whole southern end of the salient.
Montdidier is unofficially reported to
have fallen. No confirmation has been
deceived.
American troops have entered the
fighting. In cooperation with the Brit
ish probably the Australians they
have captured Morlancourt, in addition
to tho important heights south of that
(Village. The resistance of the Germans
there had held up tho advance of the
'allies' left wing.
Aisne-Vesle front The Americans
enntimm their hanimerin? at the Ger-
'man center north of Fismes and are
reported to be gradually advancing
toward the strongly entrenched Ger
man positions on the heights between
the Vesle and Aisne. American artil
lery is blasting away at the enemy
defense along the entire seetor.
Italian front Archduke Joseph is re
ported to have arrived at tho front and
taken over command of Austrian ar
mies. His inspection of the Trentino
region is believed to forecast a new
Austrian drive.
Xorth sea A German destrover, evi
dently sunk by a British mine was
discovered eight miles north of Zec-bnigge.
GERMAN

the Germans and-not let 'em come up
for breath wliilo he's got 'cm going.
The Soissons push was the first phase
of the plan, the second is developing.
Foeh's-strategy aims to keep the Ger
mans so busy during the throe or four
months of fighting weather remaining
this year that they will ha unable- to
deliver what General von Ludendorff
noped might bo a staggering blow. Mean
while all through, the winter Americans
will he pouring in for next spring's
battle.
The secondary object of tho Somme
drive was the forstnlling of another
German thrust toward Amiens, in an, at
tempt to reach tho allies' vital com
munications. This also has b.?en success
ful. The immediate effect t'ie allied
advances has been to seroiusly menace
Montdidier. It is possible that within a
few days von Ludendorff will be forc
ed to evacuate the entire Montdidier
region. Such a retreat would bring far
reaching results and would compel fur
ther straightening of tha German lines
as far south as the Aisne.
Identification of the 117th German
division as participating in the Somme
fighting is significant, inasmuch as on
ly a few days ago it was fighting on
the Vesle. The fact that it was hurried
to tlia Somme, arriving the night be
fore the Franco-British attack and .get
ting into the battle without rest:i 19
pome indication of the extent o which
the French and Americans chewed up
been observed in these cities.
(Koye is ten miles northeast of Mont
didier. Xesle is seven miles northeast
of Koye and six miles southeast of
Chaulnes.)
French troops have extended their
front slightly southward capturing
Contoire and St. Hubert wood.
The German command is known to
be considering throwing in the class
of 1920 within the next few weeks-
months ahead of time. Prisoners de
clare there is a strong opposition in
Germany to sacrificing these boys two
years and a half before their timd
notwithstanding the desperate need of
400,000 reinforcements, which this class
will provide. Since the losses incurred
on the Marne and Somme, calls have
been made for more replacements than
can be filled from recuperating wound5
fid.
