drouths of long duration has cut short
corn and all other crops in all Middle
Tennessee counties. Scattering rains the
past few days came too late to save the
corn cropv which Is cut fully SO per cent
by the severe drouth, II is the opinion
Of most farmers that corn will not
amount to u half crop.
Cotton has also been damaged and is
maturing month earlier than usual
caused by. the long dry spell. Grazing
lands are becoming dry and barren and
cattle are being fed In some Instances.
1t Is unusual to feed cattle In this section
OF blue grass until late in the winter.
Good rains would vet relieve the sit
uation Of cattle feeding as blue grass
thrives until far into winter Droves OF
fine hogs are being put on the market.
They would be fattened here but for the
bad outlook for corn.
Wells and springs are going dry which
were never known to be dry before, and
water for live stock is becoming a serious
question In many places.

IS THE GERMANS RETREAT

Combles, another German
stronghold, has been captured
by the British. 1t Is an import
ant road center between the
Somme and Bapaume.
British patrols have pen
etrated the outskirts Of Pc
rome and Brie. The capture
of Ieronne is expected son.
Britis htroops struck forward
this morning on a seven-mile
front between Bullecourt and
the Scarpe river, and carly re-
ports show they have advanced
more than a mile all along the
line.
Reports show that slowly but
surely the German line Is being
pushed back all the way from
the Lys and Lave valleys in
the north to Scissors on the
south.
French and American troops
beat off German attacks during
the night north of Soissons,
where the Germans are fighting
desperately to prevent being
pushed back from the plateau
In that sector. Such move
would endangcr the whole Vesic
line of the Germans.
Indications continue to grow
that the Gei mans will not be
able to make stand on the :
Hindenburg line, but will have
to continue to fall back.

BYNC'S ADVANCE
MOST IMPORTANT
Ludendorff Executing a Dash
Backward to Place Of
Safety.
NOW CHANGE FOR HORNE
British Armies on North in Line
With Gen. Bing From,
Lens Southwark. =
NOW CHANCE FOR HORNE

New York, Aug. 29.-((opyflgnt. N
Y. Tribune )-Ludendorff's retirement
in consequence OF his defeat Of Aug.
has reached its last phase. Having
hung on to the old line of 1916 as lonp
as possible to permit the withdrawal
of guns, munitions and material, and
the complete renovation of the Hin
denburg line. he is now executing n
hell for leather" flight to the place of
safety,
We had exactly the same thing in
/ the case of the second battle of the
! Marine, when, following stubborn rear
guard actions on the heights above the
| Ourcq for nearly week, the Germans
suddenly made a dash backward for
the line of the Vesle, and the Sunday
papers of Aug. received the list OF
villages reoccupied, just as the news
papers are now giving a new list of
tho reoccupied towns.
In the case of the Marine retreat the
great question was whether the Ger
man would decide to stand at the Vesle
or the Aisne. Today the question Is
whether he will halt at the line Bertin-
court -Peronne- Noyon, which is the line
Of the Tortille and Somme rivers and
the Noyon canal, or whether he will
go straight back to the Hindenburg
line. In any event he. is going back to
the Peronne- Noyon line, which will be
his next resting place.
But while the spectacular advances
of the British and French from Ba-
paume southwark are attracting the
attention of the public who follow the
war by the headlines, 1t is actually true
that the comparatively insignificant
advance of Byng to the ncrth along
the Scarpe is OF far greater import
ance.
From Lens right down to the Sem
see river, at Cherisy, the British are
now at or beyond the line of 1917. and
where they are beyond 1t they are on
high ground of great value.
Now, it is plain that any further
advance will bring Byng's army
squarely ZIP to the last circumstance
of in 1917, the Drocourt- -Queant
switch, running down the never broken
section of the German line behind
] ems to the main Hindenburg line cast
of Croisilles.
This is the ultimate barrier to British
advance to Douai and Cambria and
Douai and Cambria are the keys of all
the region now occupied by the Germans
in northern France. If the British can
reach either, then the Germans must
make n tremendous retirement both north
and south. They will, indeed, have to go
DaCK TO tne 'lRlRlan 1TOntleT, anu tne ue-
liverance of France will be substantially
accomplished.
North of Croisilles the old and new
British fronts are not three miles apart. |
Therefore. Byng can begin his assault
upon the Wotan line almost from
scratch" as they say on the athletic |
field. and he has all the advantage of |
position as well as Of proximity.

las Haig's headquarters in France year

1T is true that every endeavor must

British hands. the ground fails away 10

All this means that without delay Byng
can, If he chooses. push his attack right
up against the last German lines cover
ing Cambria and Douai, with all their
vital network OF roads and railways. ii
these lines go, then all of the Hindenburg
line to the south becomes worthless. IL
will be turned and the Germans viii
have to retire on front all the way
from Verdun to Lille.
In addition, the armies of Horne and
of Plumer to the north are now to be
heard from. Byng has brought his army
back into the line with Horne all the
way from the outskirts of Lens south
ward.
Horne can now move and any attack
by Horne would be directed at the front
OF the Germans from his own front. be-
cause there has been no change on this
sector. There Is. therefore. no problem
Of communications. Moreover, II Horne
can advance half dozen miles. then the
threat to Cambrai and Douai on the
south and TO Lille on the north will be
instant and deadly.
