The GERMANS ARE NOW
ABANDONING THEIR TRENCHES
The Latest Success of the Allies May
Force the Enemy to Retire From
the Roye District THE ROye-
Noyon Road Under Fire
(By The Associated Press.)

Allied forces this morning began general attack against the
line running from Chaunes south to the Disc river
front of about 25 miles Dispatches filed at London shortly after
reported important gains at various points, especially the
vital sector south of Lassigny near the Disc.
The Lassigny mass the steep slopes of which have been
strongly defended by the Germans reported be almost within
the grasp of the French and unofficial dispatches state there
every prospect that this natural fortress will be wesed from
the Germans
Farther south the French have advanced the village of L
convon just south of the eastern extremity of Thecou wood
and virtually the crest of the hills overlooking long reaches of
the Oe Just to the west of Econvon the French have made
progress north Of the ST. Claude farm
AS immediate result Of the gains made in that sector the
Germans abandoning their trenches in the bed of the Ose just
west of the village of Ba of Rbecou 1t is said that the
French have occupied these positions.
North of Lasny the region of Roye and along the rail-
road running northwar to Chaune there far reports
of If the allies succeed in carrying the heights south of
Lassgny they will force the to retire from the Roye dis
m they will have the RoyeNoyon road under their fire and
will dominate the whole region with their artillery
The advance reported during the last few hours would
nued probably have effect the German positions in the
Oscamp and Caepon forests east of the Oise If the Germans
there ouanked by the allied movements retirement from
that district would be probable and this would necesate
cation of the line running from the Oe and the Ane Scissors
Thus the attack launched this morning would appear have
rect relation to the battle being fought along the Asne Vee
by the allies.

voN TAuBE IN COMMAND.
Of the Bolshevik Forces Between Irkutsk
and vladivostok.

Washington, d. c., Aug. l3.-German
and Austrian former prisoners operating
with the bolsheviki in Siberia are com
manded by the renegade Russian, GEN
eral Won Taube, who at the beginning
of the war was removed from his Rus
sian command on account of his pro-
German proclivities. This information
was made public to-day by Captain
Vladimir S. Hurban, the Czecho- -Slovak
officer in Washington TO report to Prof.
1T. G.. Masaryk, the Czeeho Slovak com
mander- in-ehief.
Captain Hurban said Won Taube for
merly was in command of the prison
camp at Irkutsk and while there was
noted for his persecution of the Slavic
prisoners and the fayoritism shown the
Germans and Magyars After the boil
shevik revolution, he deserted the old
regime and aschief of staff of the Irkutsk
government began, with the aid of Ger
man and Magyar officers, the organiza-
tion of an army OF the prisoners. He
ordered the attack on the unarmed Czechs
at Irkutsk last May and after the boil
shevik defeat was saved from execution
at the hands of the Czechs by the inter
yention of the French and American CON
suls. Won Taube now commands the boil
sheyik forces between Hkutsk and Vlad.

ScoTcHMAN GETS PROFIT
But War Will Change This and the Irish
Farmer Will Do Better.

Dublin, July 3l.-The Irish farmer in
the past has been In the habit of grow
ing excellent oats. The oats are then
exported to Scotland and imported back
again to Ireland in the form of oatmeal
for his food and of by-products as food
for his cattle The thrifty Scotsman
makes a handsome profit out of it,
The war promises to change this very
uneconomic Irish method and induce the
Irish farmer to do better for himself. In
many districts grain mills are being
erected in Ireland. About 20 co-opera-
tive societies have now oat mills and
-four of their own. One society of Sir
Horace Plunkett's organization in Kerry
borrowed $4,000 from the bank, started
mill and worked the grain to the ut
most extent, so that the members OBJ.
tanned excellent -four for their families
and feeding stuff for their cattle and
pigs. The result is unprecedented pros
perity in the district.
The old great milling business Of Ire.
land was lost to the country because the
millers would not change their methods
and use up.to-date machinery and plant.
Now there is healthy change OF feeling
stimulated by the needs Of the war.

FREIGHTER
ASHORE IN FOG
Report That She Was Evad-

STEAMER WAS
LADEN WITH SUGAR
Observers Believe the Vessel
to Be in a Danger
Gus Position

An Atlantic Port, Aug. ia Brazil
ian freight steamer ran ashore on the
New England coast during a heavy fog
to-day. The tide was receding at the
time and observers believed the vessel
to be in dangerous position One report
was that the steamer was evading a Ger
man submarine.
A late report was that the steamer
which was laden with sugar, had lost
her way in a fog. Coast guardsmen
who went aboard, declined to say how
the captain explained being so far of his
course. The vessel, they said, was rest
ing on sandy bottom about 1900 feet
from shore.
The steamer formerly OF German reg
lister, was taken over by the Brazilian
government when that country entered
the war.

The French have gained control of the
entire massif of Lassigny, on the south
ern end of the Picardy battle front, ac-
cording to advices this afternoon.
This gives command of the town Of
Lassigny and the valley of the Divette,
as well as the entire district to the
north.
Late dispatches tell of hard fighting
at Fismette, on the north bank of the
Vesle between Scissors and Rheims. The
allies, among whom Americans are
known to be fighting, were forced from
this village by the Germans and had to
cross the Vesle, but an immediate coun-
ter-attack is reported to have restored
the allied positions on the north side
of the river.
From Chaulnes northward to the Ancre
river the allies appear to have been held
up by the desperate German defense.
There have been local engagements along
this line, but at no point have the Brit
ish and Americans engaged on this front
succeeded in making any marked impress
sion upon the German lines, which are
virtually resting on the old trench sys-
TENS held by the enemy in 1916.
Reports received this morning stated
that the ruins of Peronne are in flames
and that several villages behind the
German lines are burning. The fires may
have been caused by allied lombard
ments, but it is believed that the Ger
mans applied the torch to these towns
as preliminary step to further re-
tirement eastward.
There have been local engagements
in the Flanders sector, but nothing Of
significance has occurred there during the
past day.
British, French and American bombers
and airmen are harrassing the rear of
the enemy position increasingly. During
Sunday l07 tons Of bombs were dropped
on railway functions, concentration
points and other important targets in
the enemy area. In aerial fighting the
allied airmen destroyed fourteen Ger
man machines and put 40 others out of
action. Berlin reports the bringing down
of seventeen allied airshps. Frankfort,
which is east Of the Rhine, and Metz
have been bombed by British squadrons.

Torn from Masthead of Lit
tie Schooner by German
Submarine Officer
FISHERMEN TELL
OF TREATMENT
Said They Received Outrag-
eous Treatment at Hands
of the Germans

Nantucket, Aug l3.-An American
flag, torn from the masthead of the little
schooner Lena May, one of the fishermen
sunk by German submarine off the
New England coast Saturday, was taken
aboard the enemy craft by a German
officer, who wrapped it around his neck
and gave a grotesque exhibition of dane
| ing, while his men, each armed with a
revolver, looked on and cheered.
This was the story told here to-day by
survivors of the vessel who were forced
to witness the performance The fisher
men had been ordered aboard the Uboat,
where 10 Of them stood against the con
ing tower to be photographed. As they
were being lined up for the picture they
were jeered by the U-boat crew and
knocked about when they failed to move
as rapidly as the commander ordered.
The mate of the Lena May declared
the Germans were intoxicated. He said
the American flag was flung down and
stamped on, amid shrieks from the cap
tors.
member of the submarine crew who
spoke English rather brokenly, was
asked why they wanted a photograph.
"That goes back to Germany" he re-
piled, "to show what we do over here.
We have quite lot of them. They look
good in Berlin"
All of the men from the Lena May
and the Earl and Nettie, another fisher
man sent down by gunfire, said they re-
ceived utrageousCtreatment at the hands
of the Germans Rising to the surface in
midst of the feet, the submarine com
mander found more vessels than he could
sink Immediately They were told to
stand by and await destruction.
in the desire to obtain food and cloth
ing, the commander set ont in a dory.
and to save his own men from the work
of rowing, Captain Frank Lynch of the
Lena May and two other fishermen were
required to man the boat, The dory
moved swiftly enough, but Captain
Lynch was ordered repeatedly to hurry.
The continual jeering of the Germans
got on the nerves of the fishermen, hardy
men accustomed to many dangers, but
they remained quiet, for while orders
were shouted in German, which they
could not understand, the sight of many
reyovers showed that they would have
no chance if they offered resistance. The
crew was encouraged by officers of the
U boat. There was fresh outburst as
the fishermen boarded their dory and
pulled away.
"They had taken everything we had
except the clothes we wore" the mate
said, "but we were glad to get away.
And the thing that hurt most was the
way they shouted while stamping on
our flag"
