Allied Successes Halt German Plan.

CBy the International News Serviee.)
London, Sept H.-The allied menace to
Comblss and Peronne has dictated during
the week past some important and uneK-
pected changes IN the plans OF the Ger
man great general staff
The capture of Bouchavesnes, half way
between the two vital Teuton bases on
the Somme, the subsequent severance OF
communication between them and the
partial development OF Combles caused
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg to dis
patch 5000 additional troops to the
Somme front TO wrest back Bouchaves-
nes, cost what IL may.
Moreover these allied successes threw
a spoke in the wheels Of q German
steam roller which evidently was
scheduled TO be set IN motion against the
Russians on the Riga front
Such are the conclusions inevitab bly,
forced by the announcement contained
IN the French official midnight COM
nuniqus that the eighteenth German
army corps, hastily withdrawn from the
Aisne front, headed yesterdays futile
counter blows around BOuchevesneE, and
that one German division was recalled
to the Picardy when already half wny
en- route to the eastern theater.
Today there was no action on a large
scale on the Somme front, the allies
devoting all their efforts to consolidating &
their new lines and beating OF German
counter attacks.
