Many. nersons who have made a study OF
the Potomac river contend that with prop
er facilities for getting to and from river
wharves, many wealthy residents oi
Washington would build summer homes
along the Potomac between Alexandra
and Smiths wharf on the virginia SIDE
and Dents wharf on the Maryland side
and even farther down the river.
There are many beautiful home sites
along the river, it is asserted, and those
who know believe there is no reason. with
proper transportation facilities, why both
banks of the Potomac should not be as
well filled with pretty dwellings, as is the
Hudson and the Delaware.

the Germans have admittedly
transferred large reserve forces to
this salient from verdun. knowledge
OF that fact made the British success
reported yesterday by General Haig
all the more satisfactory, but 1t like
wise gave notice to military experts
here that the Germans, feeling the
menace in the British encircling move
ment from Pozieres westward and
eastward from Hill 141. south Of Thiep-
val, would attempt its checking with
every resource of men and guns at
their command.
In their new positions at Pozieres
the British are only a trife over six
miles from Bapaume. the immediate
objective Of their drive. At one point
at least they have penetrated the third
line OF the German front. II they
can press the intervening six miles
to Bapaume, a German retirement
along a front Of fifteen or twenty
miles is almost inevitable. From
Pozieres on to Bapaume the country is
fairly fiat, with none Of the ridges
which dot the territory just south OF
Thiepval, except one knoll, known as
Hill 100. None Of the official state
ments shed any light on whether this
position. lying northwest of Pozieres,
is traversed by the two strong
trenches which Haig reported having
been stormed and captured.
Apparently there was a lull In the
infantry attacks along the British
front today. Feverish activity in
throwing up entrenchments and con-
solidating their gains will be neces-
sary so that the British can success
fully Withstand the German counter
attacks and until this digging in is
