Apparently the attack on the soutn-
ern part Of the front was being con-
tinued by the French this morning
Main interest centered in the secto,
around the Lasigny height. It is diffi-

REGAIN 1'4ss SQUARE MILES.
Foeh Aims y SPLIT German Linss BY
I. Wedge.

Wedge.
London. Aug, 12.-By their victory
on.the Somme last week the allies are
repeating tho process by which the
Marne salienS was obliterated.
The Somme salient was considerably
the larger OF the two, containing more
than f.400 square miles. In comparison
with an area OF little more than 700
between the Aisne and the Marne.
1t took the Germans. fifteen days to
overrun the Somme region. but they
reached the Marne in four days. 4.
Marshal Foch began his offensive
on the Marne on July rs, at once stop
ping the NTH German drive, Which had
lasted only three days and was started
on front OF sixty-h miles, from
Chateau Thiery to Massigtx and
rsgistered en average gain of only two
miles, 81 q. =.

Aimed to Split Allies.
No such concentration took place in
the somme salient. for the Germans In
that drive had Amiens as their immed
late objective and the splitting Of the
British and French forces along J, the
limo Of the river.
There were not SO many men, enh-
ployed, either, for they were intended
rather as a driving wedge between the
allied armies than as force to occupy
large tracts of territory.
When General Won Hutier found his
ADVANCE stopped he contented him
self with digging in and fortifying his
positions. withdrawing the bulk Of his
forces to the old Hindenburg line. from
which he had started, and leaving the
new front comparatively thinly held.
Montdidier was captured by one OF
the most brilliant operations Of the
war, showing close cooperation Of the
different commanders in carrying out
Marshal Fochs plan of campaign.
While the allies had been pressinE
eastward from the westward edge OF
the Sonme. salient for two days the
southern edge. between Montdidier and
Noyon. had scarcely moved at all. 4

Vologda. Russia, July 25.-lDelayedl
The reason for American Ambassador
Francis and the other allied diplo-
mats leaving Vologda for ArchanRel to-
day was their refusal to- comply with
insistent demands from the bolsheyiki
that they remove to Moscow.
The bolsheyiki said they wanted the
diplomats to move because they be-
lieved lVologda soon would be the GEN.
ter Of revolutionary fighting.
The foreign minister telegraphed sew
ssal times to Ambassador Francis that
'Vologda was not a safe place for the
embassy. He Nlso sent Karl Radak, as
sistant foreign minister, to confer with
the diplomats.
. Ambassador Francis and his associ-
ates expressed full eonndence inl the
IeoR!e OF 'volodga. The soviet govern
ment at first refused to-provide an en-
glne for special train to ArchanEel,
Tchiterin te!egraphed that Arch
angel was not At place for the am
sbassadors in case Of siege but was
willing to grant an engine on condi :
tons that the allied embassies leave
Russia as soon as shipa. could be
provided. The diplomats accepted and
started today for Archangel.
f.. Ambassador Francis said he had no
desire to leave Russia unless forced to
DO so. and in any event his absence
would be only temporary.
Tchiterin said the departure % the
ambassadors would not alter in the
slightest the relations Of soviet Rus
sia with the allied countries and told
the acting American consdl- genera.
Mr.. Poole. that there was no reason
why the consuls and citizens of al
lied nations should not remain.
