Germans Inactive While
Troops, Supplies, for
Allies Pour In.
HEAVY
ON MANY SECTIONS
Invincible Australians
Again Advance Lines
Hundreds of Yards.

(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
Along the battle line in northern
France the allied troops still await
the shock Of heavy fighting by the
Germans. Apparently the rainy
weather has intsrfered a great deal
with the enemy's transport and he
has not been able to perfect his ar
engagements because OF the difficulties
Of bringing his supplies over the
battle torn ground of Flanders and
Picardy. Having gained some ad-
~vantaeeous positions in local fight
ing, the allies are awaiting for the
next effort of the Germans which al
ready has been delayed much longer
than In previous luIls since the be-
ginning Of the offensive of March ri.
Meanwhile, fresh troops and new
supplies are pouring in to strengthen
the allied positions and this fact
must also add TO the perturbation Of
the enemy, who has nothing remark
able in military achievement to show
for his heavy losses Of the past
seVen weeks.
The artillery fire continues violent
on important sectors. The Germans

front southwest of Ypres and the sec
tor south of the Somme between Viii
lers- Bretonneux and Hailles. These
sectors saw the heavy fighting pre-
vious to the German repulse north of
Mont KENNEL nine days ago. Enemy
fire against the southern side of the
Arras sector which lies north of AL
bert, also has been intense.
There has been great aerial activ-
ity on the American sector north
west of Toul and Captain James Nor
man Hall, well known as a flyer in
the French and American armies, is
reported missing after a battle in
which. he and two other Americans
engaged four Germans. Two of the
enemy aeroplanes are believed to
have been brought down. Other
Americans also have been meeting
the enemy in the air along the line
east Of st. Mihel and it is believed
Germans have concentrated large
forces in an attempt to wipe out the
American flyers.
There has been no infantry fighting
on any of the American sectors. Ex-
cept for fruitless patrol raids by the
Austrians and limited artillery fire
there has been no activity on the
Italian front. The Austrians still
withhold their attack and neither
Vienna nor Berlin has said anything
of it for the past several days.

Amsterdam. Aug 16.-German
newspapers comment bitterly upon
the manifesto issued by Great Britain
in recognition of the Czecho-Slovak
nation.
1T is the acme Of hypocrisy when
England gives these notorious traitors
a testimonial that they are waging
legitimate warfare the Cologne Ga
zette says.
This recognition Hill remain only
a recognition on paper if the central
powers, as they have so far, remain
victorious against the world attack"
says the Frankfort Gazette.
Nevertheless England's step, which
is doubtless backed b. the remainder
of the entente, must certainly affect
detrimentally the meagre prospects of
peace, because promises have been
made of a CZecho-Slovak nation, which
promises could only materialize after
the collapse of Austria"
