BAD WEATHER STOPS
GREAT ALLIED DRIVE
AGAINST RUSSIANS

London, August with better
weather prevailing, the Anglo French
armies in Belgium are preparing for
the second phase of their gigantic
drive against the Germans Blows
more powerful than those struck
against the German positions on Tues
day night are looked for
The number of German prisoners
taken in the first As hours of the fight
ing north and souh of Ypres was es-
timated today at abou six thousand,
including approximately 100 officers Of
all ranks.
While German counter assaults in
the sectors of St Julien and West.
dock were partially successful reports
from Holland today stated that he
Germans were moving their beadquar
ters farther eastward which indicates
that they fear for the safety of their
West Flanders front
Clearing weather has resulted in an
increase Of activity on the part of the
artillery and the air forces, although
the thick mud has hampered the
movement of the infantry, when the
counter attack stage arrived the Ger
mans devoted practically all of their
attention to the British. The French
taking advantage of the comparative
lull on their front, worked feverishly
linking up their new trenches and
scoopng out the mud and muck with
which they We're filled
German corpses were everywhere
Some lay half embedded in the mud
while others had been trampled down
until only an arm or a leg could be
seen sticking above the surface.
The allied advance has pressed a
salient into the German line east of
Ypres, with the British holding the
southern and part of the northern side
and the French holding that section
of the upper flank where it begins to
jut towards the east,
1t was at the apex of this salient,
in the Westhoek sector, where the
Germans made their strongest count
err attacks
The fighting that has so far taken
place on the West Flanders front is
believed to be merely a prelude to a
vast enterprise. which Field Marshal
Haig planned against the Germans.
The action may vary with degrees Of
intensity for weeks.
German military critics declare that
-the allied attacks were made with
such numbers of men as the Germans
had never faced before in single
battle These experts believe that
the Anglo-French armies will try to
clear the Belgian coast Of Germans
and that the chief objectives are

Germany has met the full demands

COLUMN
BACK ON AMERIC AN
SOIL THIS MORNING
General Led His Soldiers
Across Boundary Line at
$50 A. M.
BY Webb Miller

Omitted Press staff eorrespondcnt)
Columbus, N. NJ, Feb. 5.--The Amer
lean punitive expedition, sent into Mex
leo last spring to capture Villa dead
or alive marched back upon the Am
erican soil today with the main object
of its invasion Of Mexico unaccomp-
lished
Riding at the head of the American
column, General Pershing, commanding
the expedition, led his men across the
International line at $3.50 a. m. today
As the front ranks of the line winding
across the desert set foot upon the soil
of their home land the men broke into
wild cheers and shouts. The column
as it covered the final stretch Of the
hike to the border was nearly fifteen
miles in length.
Before marching across the border
the American flag was dipped in sa.
lutte. The entire expedition formed in
a hollow square at PalOmas lakes five
miles from the border on the Mexican
side.
With twelve thousand men standing
at attention, the bands played the
! Star Spangled Banner while the
Stars and Stripes fluttered to the
ground. Then the columns formed anC
pushed toward the International line
! For more than four hours the bronz
| ed, bearded veterans of the Mexican
campaign swung through rising dus
clouds, the men laughing and cheerns
at every step.
With his headquarters company, Gen
eral Pershing crossed the line first. Th'
infantry regiments followed the com
+ mander and then the cavalry and artil
lcry. The withdrawal Of the America
lcxpedition from McXicO was completed
