PfeSs.)
On the British front east of Amiens
on each side of Avre and along the
Somme river, seems to be the Storm
center of the France battle front
Australians, assisted by American de-
tachments, on July drove the Ger
mans out of Hamel ana the Vaire and
Hamel woods, to the south, at the
same time launching secondary at
tack on the German positions north of
the Somme. Since that time the lines
before Amiens have been very active.
The Germans have been repulsed in
an attempt to retake the village Of
Hamel and the wooded positions fur
ther south. The British official report
says the enemy was stopped easily,
but the Germans claim to have
checked the British forces east of Ha-
mel and to- have thrown them back
to their original lines at Villers Bro
tonneux.
American Front Calm.
With the exception of aerial COM
bats, the American front has been
calm. The German official statement
tells Of British attacks in the Ypres
reEle dddlng that they were re-
pulsed. Heavy artillery fire in this
neighborhood is reported from Lon
don.
The French have been content to
hoid and consolidate their new posi-
tons near Moulin, ,Sous-Toutvent and
Autreches, northwest Of Soissons.
where In two recent French attacks
the Germans suffered severe CASUAL
ties. The French war office says dur

Italian forces operating near the
mouth Of the Piave have continued

400 prisoners, as well as a battery of
cannon and many machine guns In
the mountain region the Italians have
extended their lines northeast of Mon
te Grappa and have repulsed desper-
ate counter-attacks by the Austrians
against positions taken from the enc
my in the Italian drive week ago.
Finland to Declare. War.
stockholm reports that Finland is
expected to declare war on the entente
allies. This is probably the result of
German pressure incident to the land
ing OF allied forces at Kola, on the
thurman coast. 1t has been reported
that German and Finnish troops are
pushing northward toward the port
or kola to seize war stores transported
there before Russia's collapse as a
factor in the war.
:, TWO rumors of internal dissension
nave become current One is to the ef-
rect that the death of Mohammed y
sultan of Turkey, was not due to nat,
ural causes, but the result of a revolt
IN that country. The other comes from
south Africa, where it is reported
considerable unrest exists and where
strong measures are being taken to
cope with the situation.
