Huns Fighting Desperately
To Cover Up Retreat

PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE Germans are,
re-acting on the allied left with GER.
tain amount of success, having had time,
20 get into line divisions rushed fran,
tically from the north. 1t is believed
here the fresh troops are being thrownI
into the fight in a desperate endeavor1
to block the allied advance toward
Nesle.
General Won Hutler, who escaped. bad
ly damaged. from the Montdidier pocket,
is trying now to halt temporarily on the
Roye-Noyon line. He is strong enough ,
at Noyon end, when his flank rests on
the Disc. but should the British succeed
in debouching from the villages of Lii
hons, Chilly, Fransart, Fresnoy and Coy
encourt in the general direction of
Nesle. Won Hutier's right at Roye would
not only be turned, but he would be
cut off and hopelesly lost. The entire
line, it is believed here, would then go
down.
Should Won Hutier succeed in holding
OF sufficiently to get his guns and ma
terlal away, his next move probably
would be back toward the Somme, pivot
ing on Noyon. He would swing his right
back on the line on Nesle and Noyon.
The Germans now are fighting for
time to make this possible and the
fighting is likely to be even more des-
perate today than it was Sunday. The
Germans so far have done no more than
check the allied left north of the Avre.
IT is believed to be certain that they will
spare nothing in an endeavor to push

German Embassy Will

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 12.-Dr. Helffer-
ich the German ambassador to Russia,
has informed the soviet government that
he will move the embassy from Moscow
to Pskov, because he fears for the per-
sonal safety of his staff. says an Of
fetal telegram from Berlin. This ac-
ton. it is added, was decided upon be-
cause of a proclamation of the Social
Revolutionists that they were about to
begin a reign of terror at Moscow.
Pskov was selected because conditions
at Petrograd are almost as bad as at
Moscow.

Mason Expects Another
Pocket Will Be Formed
BY i w r MASON

NEW YORK, Aug. 12-The retreat
ing Germans have now reached their
final defenses west of the Somme front
where its turn forms the last resting
place. ia advance of the old ''Hindenburg
line"
The Germans are fighting desperately
with their backs against the banks of
the Somme. This position requires they
move their heavy artillery across the
river Immediately or else risk it's entire
capture by the allies if Field Marshal
Haig moves his front forward with a
sudden lunge. The principal German re-
sistance at present, therefore, west of
the Sonlme, is rifle and machine gun
fire. Artillery on the east bank of tho
Somme will become effective very short
~ and may prevent Marshal FOch from
permitting a frontal attack on the
Somme line, in accordance with his
policy of spariHg lives as much as pos
Sble.
The British and French, in fact, are
now beginning the development of
fanking operation against the Somme
positions from the south. This Is one
of the purposes of the British advance
toward Roye and the French movement
in the direction of Noyon.
If these two towns fall into posses
sion of the allies a slight advance north
ward will make a perfect pocket OF the
Scmme positions and will compel the
Germans to retire to the "Hindenburg
line"
!. This same thanking operation against
the Somme from the south is beglnnlns
TO menace the western flank OF the
Germans between the Vesle and the
Cbemin des Danes. Marshal Foch IS
here developing a double strategy. He
is linking both the Picardy ana ChaIn-
,,i9r onarations so that in reality the
1riyo eastward from Montdidier shall
form a single campaign with the drive
northward from. the Marine. Unity or
purpose is. therefore, coming into its
full strategic value as the allies unity

FIRST YANKEE FIELD
ARMY IS ORGANIZED;
IT HASE FIVE CORPS
1t Will Be Commanded by Gen.
eraI Pershing and viii Prob
ably Operate North of the
Marne

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. (Sunday.)-(By the
Associated Press of the
first American field army of five corps
has been completed. The army will be
commanded by General Pershing and it
is understood will operate in the area
north of the Marine from which the Ger
mans have been driven out.
The American divisions which partic-
ipated in that drive have been under
French command. but are now included
in the first army.
General Pershing, who retains his
post as chief of the American expedi-
tionary forces, after a time may relin-
quish the command of the grst army,
but possibly not until the organization
of a second army is well under way.
Meanwhile. he will have two headquar-
tiers, at the first army as we'll as at gen.
eral headquarters. 1t is not anticipated
that the creation of the first army will
see any decrease in the spirit of coop
Grafton. While the Americans have OPP
Grated under the higher command of
the French and British recently, the
French had served under American
corps commanders and it is expected
this interchange will continue.
The step is regarded. as the most i'm
portant development in the organization
of the American eSpeditionary forces to
date. 1t is looked upon as the natural
development of the 1917-191S scheme of
organization and training by which regi-
ments after training were merged into
divisions under full staff direction. The
creation of the first army brings Q
great American force under American
command, but under the orders of the
generalissimo. Marshal Foch, the size
of the army has not been Announced be-
yond the indication that it contains five
corps commanded by Major Generals
Liggett, Bullard, Bundy, Reed and
Wright.
Each corps is composed of several
divisions with each division includine
so 900 troops of all arms. while the
corps, in addition, will have its compile
ment of auxiliary tsoops, supply troops
ar squadrons, tanks and heavy artillery
1t is understood. etc, as sent.
1t is understood that other armies
will be formed shortly in view of the
recent Washington announcement that
/ 300, 900 American troops already had
sailed for France.
