FRANCO O-AMERICANS REACH AISlNG
IN SWIFT PURSUIT OF GERMANS
BRITISH ARE BACK
ON THEIR OLD LINE
They Have Even Passed 1t at Place
East of Givenchy, Marked Progress
in Flanders Having Been
Made.

London, Sept. 5.-Marked progress
was made by the British last night along
the Flanders front, to-day's war office
report says. Ploegsteert village and hill
SO, southwest of Messines, have been
captured.
On the Lys front the British hold the
general line of Voormezeele, Wulver-

line they held up to the German attack
on April last, while to the eastward

positions have been taken.
On the battle line in front of Cambrai

sitions to the east of Hermies, near the
Canal du Nord, just to the south, also

BERLIN ANNOUNCES
THE BIG RETREAT
BY Saying That British Pressed Forward
Against New German Lines in Lys Sa-
lient and French Were Able to Ad-
vance but Slowly Between the
Somme and 0ise Rivers.

Berlin, Sept. tyia London Between
Ypres and La Bsssee, in the Lys salient,
the British yesterday pressed forward
against the new German lines, the Ger
man war Office announced to-day.
Between the Somme and the Disc riv-
ers, the statement adds, the Germans
continued their movement out Of the re-.
gion Of Roye. Rear guards which had
been left behind to retard the French
followed the Germans slowly.
The German war office says the French
with weak detachments have about
reached the Voyennes -Guiscard- Apilly
line.
"To the east of Soissons,' the state.
ment says, 1--WE withdrew our defense
from the Vesle river in accordance with
plan"

BALL PLAYERS
BEGIN STRUGGLE
FOR WORLD TITLE
Ridiculously Small Crowd Awaited Open
ing of Gates in Chicago Park For
Opening Clash Between Red
Sox and Cubs.

Chicago, Sept with clear and
warm weather predicted, the Chicago
Nationals and Boston Americans at > 80
this afternoon were scheduled to make a
belated start in their battle for the
baseball championship Of the world.
Weather permitting, the clubs win play
here to-day, tomorrow and Saturday
and will entrain Sunday for Boston,
where the remaining games of the series
will be staged, beginning Monday, until
one club has won four games.
Despite the fact that the present Sc.
ries marks the swan song Of baseball un-
til the war is over, interest was at
lower ebb this year than ever before,
in the opinion of worlds series veterans.
About one hundred persons were in line
at $3.50 o'clock this morning waiting
for the gates to open.
Managers of both clubs said to-day
they contemplated no eleventh hour
changes in their lineup. There was a
possibility, however, that Dave Shean
might be replaced in the Red Sox in.

tured and the French have pressed be-
yond until they now are but little more
than two miles from the important road
center Of Ham. They are approaching
Ham on both sides of the Somme, and its
speedy fall seems probable. The Germans
are apparently heading back for the St
Quentin-La Fere line.
Between the Ailette and the Aisne the
French also are gaining ground. They
have crossed the Aisne at several points
northeast of Scissors and have taken the
town of Missy-sur -Aisne on the north
bank, where they already were in posses
sion of Buoy -le-Long. Farther north ON
this front they have taken the towns of
Braye and Clancy.
The Franco American operation on the
Vesle front has been extended farther
eastward towards Rheims and new cross
ings have been effected on the two and
one-hah mile front between Ventzaux
and Jonchery, seven miles west of
Rheims.
In the north the Germans are continu-
ing to move backward along the Flan-
ders front. The British are accelerating
the retirement by sharp attacks, in one
of which they captured the village of
Ploegsteert. They have regained their
April line on the southern part of this
front, from Neuve- Chapelle to Givenchy,
and have even pushed beyond it in spots
to the eastward of Givenchy.
The Germans still are clinging to the
Messines ridge, the highest ground Of
this sector, but from the manner in which
they are being forced back farther south
it seems doubtful if they will be able to
hold it much longer.
On the Douai- Cambria front and inn
mediately to the south, the enemy gives
signs of stiffening resistance, but never
theless the British have moved farther
ahead at various points. Their most no
table gain was southeast of Bertincourt,
where they took additional ground east
of the Canal du Nord and captured Neu-
vile Bourjonval
The Germans made an effort to dis
lodge Field Marshal Haig's forces from
their position along the canal, east of
Cambria, attacking at Inchy en- Artois.
They were repulsed, however, as they
were farther south in an attack east Of
Manancourt.
