RED CROSS NEWS

Army officers at London are still
talking about the record made recent
ly by the American Red Cross in fill
ling a rush order that came from the
front. A few weeks ago the central
workshop of the Red Cross in this
city, located in Grosvenor Gardens, re-
ceived an urgent appeal for 100000
first aid packages for the American
soldiers. Each package was to con-
tain twelve articles, the whole order
involving the manufacture of 100000
Separate dressings in addition to the
enormous amount of labor connected
with their packing and shipment.
1t was an order that had to be filled
without interfering with the regular
hospital supply output of the shop,
but the committee in charge immedi-
ately sent the following reply:
1--WE will deliver first-aid packages
as requested at rate of $4,000 a week.
beginning at once"
The first week this promise was ex-
ceeded. Now the entire order is in
the hands of the army authorities.

German positions in the whole angle in
the Noyon region, and now that this
hinge has burst the entire angle must
yield to the relentless Allied pressure.
Capture Of Roye Expected
In the opinion of experts here the
evacuation of Roye may be expected
within day or two, for the town is
now under a crossfre. The abandon
ment of Roye by the Germans would
also make Chaulnes difficult to hold.
Thus the recent history on the Marine
is counted upon TO repeat itself on this
new front.
In the region Of Les Loges, south Of
Roye. the Trench this afternoon are
consolidating their lines. They hold the
town, but have not yet regained the
woods beyond. 1t appears that the
woods must yield, however, for the
French hold all the high ground here
overlooking the Germans in Roye from
the south and commanding the great
crss-cross of roads leading out OF that
town.
If the German line does not fall back
after the manner it did on the Marine,
with the expected fall of Roye and
Chaulncs, it could hold out only under
conditions of the greatest difficulty and
at tremendous cost

freeing of the important eastern rail
road line from Paris to Chalons. and
the equally important northern line
from Paris to Amiens, restoring to the

give them enormously greater ease in

Allies Line Now Safe
These successes render impossible
my rupture Of the line which would
separate the French armies of the
centre from those to the east. or a
rupture of the junction between the
French and British. The most dis
astrous consequence to the Germans,
aside from the heavy losses they sus-
tanned in men and material, is the col
lapse of their plan to drive wedges into
the Allied lines and the subsequent
widening and joining which would have
threatened general dislocation.

of the Disc, in the Forest of Ours
camp. The French had to evacuate
this forest in the course of Luden-
dorff's fourth drive, taking up a new
line east from Bailly through
Tracy-le-Val to Moulin-sous- lou
vent. Foch's strategy now aims, in
cidentally, at recovering this impor-
tant position without the cost of a
direct attack.
The French night communique
said that General Humbert's troops
had got a footing in the Park of
Plessier-de Roye, which is less than
a mile south of Lassigny. They
have also taken Belva, north of
Thiescourt Wood, and only about two
miles east of the town of Thiescourt.
This advance brings the Lassigny-
Noyon railroad under fire. In fact,
from the positions which they have
now captured the French can begin
to lombard all the German lines of
communication centring in Noyon
On the line from Lassigny north
to the Somme the battle stood still
yesterday, awaiting the results of
the French push in the south. There
is no need to drive head-on here,
since the whole German line will be
quickly destabilized by the loss of
its anchor position at Lassigny.
That pivot is practically demolished,
and a German retreat in the south
will probably compel a relinquish-
ment of the Roye-Chaulnes- Somme
line within the next forty-eight
hours, just as the loss of Fere-en-
Tardenois made a German stand on
the improvised Ourcq line impracti-
cable.
Foch's strategy is running true to
form. Pressure at the weakest point
is keeping Ludendorff's new posi-
tons unstable. The old German lines
of 1914'l7 couldn't be held under
the stress of last weeks disaster.
The Germans will not be allowed to
settle down. Their only safety zone
at present lies beyond the Somme
and the Verse, where they can mass
their reserves and replenish their
artillery. Ludendorff has lost about
l 400 guns in the last four weeks.
1t is no easy job to replace them.
One of his present problems is to get
the guns and munitions he has left
back to a line which cannot be out
Aanked or broken.
Foch's present purpose is To give
him all the trouble possible while he
is recognizing really stable line
Of resistance.

Sees Change in Foe S

LONDON, Aug. ia marked change

transitional stage from the IDEAS with
which Ludendorf began the March Of
fenslvc to ideas whose nature is not
yet revealed and which can only be
con cctured.
The successful Allied raids on the
Italian 'front.'" he continues, care an
example of the way these coniectures
are being tested. Are the Germans
strengthening the Italian front with y
view to an autumn offensive or is there
a backward movement on the italian
front, and what is its explanation :?

questions

enemy line were only there to cover a
withdrawal.
Speculation is rife as to Marshal
Foch's next move-whether he will
continue to press his advantage be-
tween the Somme and the Disc or
strike elsewhere along the front to
make the enemy's confusion worse con-
founded. There is general belief, how
ever, that he Will not let the war re-
turn to its old familiar state of inter
mittent actions.

oners and more than 1000 guns, the

Ground gained by the Allied armies in
the Second Battle of the Somme is
being held BY them everywhere today,
although they have been pausing for
more than twenty-four hours. The
harassed and disorganzed forces Of
the enemy have launched several coun-
ter attacks, it is true, but none of them
has carried the Germans anywhere.
As matter of fact, the small but
nevertheless important local gain made
River. to say nothing of other success
full minor operations for improving po-
sitions, more than trebly outweigh the
extremely slight gains made by the
Germans at heavy cost at two points
on the line.
Foe Strings New Wire
Strong enemy concentrations have
been reported between Roye and
Fouquescourt, but so far they have done
nothing, if really they are there for an
offensive purpose. In the northern
battle area, especially in the Bray re-
gion. new enemy defensive barbed wire
has been found, while earthworks are
being constructed at several places be-
hind the German line. Probably the
enemy has removed much OF his ma
terial and has sent in nearly all the
achievements he cares to risk at the
present time.
Morlarcourt is being heavily shelled
while the enemy, with aerial bombs
apparently has attempted to blow up
the ammunition dumps he left in his
hurry to get away. British and French
guns hav, been busy to-day pounding
German rear areas and the crossings
over the CONNIE.
Firing Far From Rear
Enemy shells that are coming in are
being fred at an extreme range, prob
ably from we'll on the other side of the
Somme. This is especially true Of shells
