GERMANS MOVE THEIR bJG GUNS

Indicate That They Expect To Be Forced to With draw Further.

With the British army in France, Aug. 13.-tBy The Associated Press) -Storng enemy concentrations have tbeen repulsed between Rove and Foul quescourt but so far thcy have done nothing, if really they are there for an offensive purpose.
 On the northern battle area, espec- tally in the Bray region, new enemy defensive barbed wire has been found while earthwOrks are being construct 'ed at several places behind the Ger man line.
 Probably the enemy has moved much of his material and has sent in nearly all the reinforcements he care. to risk at the present time
 M0urlancourt Under Fire.
 Morlancourt is being heavily shell, ed, while the enemy, with aerial bombs bombs has apparently attempt ed to blow up the ammunition dumps he left in his hurry to get away.
 British and French guns have been busy today pounding German rear me.
 Enemy shells that are coming in are being fired at an extreme range, probably from we'll on the other side of the Somme. This is specially true of shells aimed at the districts sonth of the Amiens-Vesle road.
 Between the Ancre and the Somme the operations of the British which resulted in a small material advance and the capture of enemy positions pronounced only on scattered sheit- ing from field guns.

 British airplanes continued to drop tons of shells on the enemy, especial 2v iu the neigsS... hood of Peronne. ] Enemy transports are also suffering From the British bomb.ls, one of them secured a direct hit on a transport train on the Ham-Nesle road.
 It is now established that a giant Gotha, with five engines which was drought down few nights ago near Talmas, carried a crew of nine, all of whom were killed.

Lenine Threatened War.

Washington, August 13.-Reports through Berlin that allied diplomats have demanded an explanation of a threat of Lenine, the Bolshevik pre- mier of a declaration of war against the allies are assumed here to refer to the action of American and allied consuls in calling in body August on Tchitcherin, the foreign commits 'sioner at Moscow.
 The consuls, after being told by Lenine that state of war existed be- tween Russia and the allied nations, demanded an explanation from Tchit- cherin.
 They were told that the statement was not necessarily to be interpreted as a war declaration; that it rather was declaration of state of de- fense similar to the situation existing at one time between Russia and Ger many.
 American Consul Poole informed the state department of the incident in message dated August 2 and TO- ceived here six days later. He has not been heard from since.
 The next that Was received from Moscow was press report trans mitted to the state department stat ing that the British and French con sular officials had been placed under

the bulk of that line, with such French help as is necessary. The whole line probably is under General PershinS'S command.
 Liggett May Command.
 As direct commander of the army in the field, General Pershing will be well situated to weight the qualities of the men he has assigned tempor- aTily as corps commanders.
 From those five officers he prob ably will select the commander of the First army later, and opinion leans toward Major General Hunter l.iggett now commanding the first corps on the Vesle front, as his choice
 It is expected that General Per shing will soon name his permanent corps commanders, tn appointment carrying with it the rank of lieu tenant general.
 General Liggett's corps probably is regarded as the mobile reserve of the first army and as such is being em- ployed on the French front.
 The American sector includes what the allies have considered the logical road to Berlin for French advances.
 It was across lines now held by Americans that the French struck in 1914, before the plunge of the German army through Belgium localized the war in northern France.

Washington, Aug 13.-Secreiary Baker was formally advised today by General Pershing that the First Amer lcan field army had been created General Pershing retaining command ofthe arm yas well as of the entire American eXpeditionary force for the present.
 The dispatch added nothing to de tails of the army organization already made known from Paris, however. MT. Baker said.
 The announcement is regarded at the war department as having deep significance, namely because it puts the American in France on the same footing as French or British armies there
 Formation is taken to mean here in America that the Characterization of a definite portion ofthe front has been completed. Supply lines, railways. bases, storage facilities, deharkation ports and the like created and oper- ated by Americans stand behind the first army.
 'South of the Marne."
 The only statement ofthe location of this American front is that it is SOtltu Ol lHe MdIlle.
 Presumably this means a part at least of the long line from St. Mihiel 10 the Swiss border where American troops have been put in at intervals 'during the last few months. The ex- tent of that front has not been dis closed. nor has the definite strength of the army been given.
 Comprises 1,25O,0OO Men.
 The advices indicate that it com prises, however. five. full corps, ap- proximately 1,250,0O0 men. The eff feet of the taking over of the line is to make definite beginning at ap- portioning the long front. ' The British hold the left flank, aid- ed by the Belgians. from the North Sea to the juncture of the British fourth army and the French first army in Picardy and stand between the enemy and the channel ports which would be his only road to England while the British fleet ex- ists.
 The French armies presumably are being concentrated wholly between the Picardy juncture with the British and the American left beyond Verdun. They block the road to Paris.
 To the Americans will fall the re- mainder of the front to the Swiss border, when the other American armies shall have been formed.
 The first army evidently now holds

GERMANS MUST ABANDON NOYON OR STRIKE BACK French Hold on Thiescourt Plateau Menaces Three Important Towns. HUN OFFENSIVE
 PLANS SMASHED Allies Have Und0ne in Three Weeks That Which Took the German
 Armies Months
 TO Do.

With the French Army in France, Aug. 13.-(By The Associated Press. After the battle 0 fthe Avre, the situation of the belligerents presents change which for rapidity and ex- tent has rarely been approached in military history.
 Marshal Foch's stragety and the masterly tactics of the generals com manding the armies and groups of armies under him have in three weeks wrested from the Germans what re- quired months for them to obtain at a cost variously estimated at from 100000 to 1,00O,000 men.
 Regain Transportation Lines.
 The immediate result of the ccun- ter offensives which will have the greatest bearing on subsequent op- erations are the clearing of the Chateau Thierry pocket, ending the menace to Amiens: the freeing of the important eastern railroad line from Paris to Chalons and the equally inn portant northern line from Paris to Amiens, restoring to the allies means of communication which give them enormously greater ease in future movements of troops.
 These successes render impossible any rupture of the line which would separate the French armies of the center from those to be the east O, a rupture fthe junction between the French and British.
 German Plans Collapse. The most disastrous consequence tc the Germans, aside from the heavy losses they sustained in men and ma terial, is the collapse of their plan te drive wedges into the allied lines and the subsequent widening and joining which would have threatened general dislocation.
 Marshal Foch's strategy in rush. ing the salient wedges wrested the iniative in operations from the Ger, mans at once obliging them either to order general retreat to a strong line such as the Somme, or to engage reserves.
 The enemy adopted the strong al formative which, having failed, makes eventual retirement immensly more difficult.
 The first phase of the battle of the Avre finds the French with footing upon Thiescourt plateau, west ot Noyon which has vital importance in future operations.
 Must Abandon N0yOn.
 The Germans must either capture il at high cost, if he can, or abandon Noyon, which means the fall of Rove and Lassigny which already are unde, imminent danger of capture.
 The disaster which menaced Genera Won Hutier's army has been avertec for the moment.
 The few narrow passages which arc now open for the withdrawal of his stores, are so harassed by the bombs of aviators and the fire of heavy ar. tillery that prompt escape is impos sible, rendering probable a desperate effort by the Germans to cling t( their 1914 line.

WALLACE DAVIS AGAIN PLACED IN
 GLASS 1 URAf1
Action Follows Order by General Crowder to Re-
 open His Case.

Little Rock, Aug. 13.-Wallace Davis, Arkansas member of the Democratic national committeefi was placed in class one of the draft by a local board today after orders had been received from General Crowder to reopen his case.
 The local board placed Davis in class 1 but the district appeal board granted him deferred classification after Governor Brough had appeared in Davis behalf. The cases was then brought before the attention of Gen. eral Crowder.
 Davis, who is 28, is the son of the late United States senator Jeff Davis and formerly was state attorney gen. eral.

 A mass meeting was held in Ar genta tonight protesting against Hen ny Topf's deferred classification.

Vesle Front Quiet.

With the American Army on the Vesle Front, Aug 13.-(By The As sociated Press)-The exchange of high explosive shells. shrapnel and gas projectiles on the front held by the Americans between Soissons and Rheims is taking place.
 Another intellectual stab has been made at Fisnette by the Germans. This occurred last night.
 Today has been comparatively quiet. The front and back areas of both sides along the Vesle are being reached by shellfire but there has been on al- iteration on the line
 The Germans are digging in. but not in such manner as to indicate an intention to stay permanently where they are.
 The reports of observers continue to show there is a probability that it is only their intention tofight off the Franco-Americans until they can con- solidate more completely their scat tered organizations and make with drawal over the Aisne in orderly fashion.

U. s. May Follow Suit.


 Washington, Aug. 13.-Recognition by the British government of the CZecho- -Slovaks as an independent na to narrayed against the central pow CTS follows similar action by Italy and France
 This question is still under consid- !eration by the American government but there has been no indication as to what course will be followed.
 It is recalled however, that only re- gently Secretary Lansing in a formal statement expressed the deep sym pathy with which this government viewed the national aspirations of the peoples fthe Austrian Hungarian empire. <. s-
 When informed tonight of the act Ga Masarik president of the Czeaho- commander in chief of the Czecho- Slovak forces operating in Italy, France and Siberia, expressed his high appreciation and said it was doubly valuable since it comes after adoption of similar course by the other two great allied powers.
 The forces in Siberia are to be aid- ed by military expeditions now being sent to that country by the United States, Great Britain, Japan and France and China.
 The Czecho-Slovaks are regarded as one of the most powerful of the dis affected people in Austria Hungary. Allies Demand Explanation.
 London, Aug. 13.-It is reported from Moscow by way of Berlin that the diplomatic representatives of the entente have handed collective note to War Minister Trotzky demanding within three days an explanation of Premier I.enine's threat that Russia would declare war against Anglo French imperialism" the Central News states today.
 It was reported on Monday that Premier Lenine and War Minister Trotzky of the BolsheviK government has fled from Mascow to the naval stronghold of KrOnstadt and that the Bolshevik government, as whole, would follow them there.
 Owing to the difficulties of com municating with Russia it seems prcb- able that the above dispatch has been delayed in transit and refers to an event of several days ago. Lenine's declaration was matNk9 prior to August g when American Consul Poole at Moscow, informed the state department at Washington that Lenine had told gathering of so- viets that a state of war existed be- tween the Russian government and the entente allies.
