wv ASIINGTON, august 9

W. ASlIINGTON, august o
" (Associated prcss)-The
greatest significance is attached
here to the news from France that
Franco British offensive in
force has been LAUNCHED against,
the armies OF the Crown Prince
Ruprecht, while the German
Crown Prince, is being battered
back along the Vesles by another
Allied offensive. The significance
comes in the demonstration that
General Foch now hasa suf1irierit
force at his command to under
take two offensive movements
and to sustain them, g.,
Attacked as they are, on two,
main fronts, the Gerrhans are not
now able To draw resolves from
one section to another as they
have been doing, while the re-
serves which Ruprecht has al
ready sent to the Aisne front, to
the relief of his imperial cousin,
cannot now be withdrawn to sup
port his own threatened lines.
Ready On Iys
/ 1t is believed here that if reserves
are brought by Ruprcrht to the SOmme
| from the Lys the British will immc-
diatcly attack there and flatten out
that s"GCmt, while if the Sommc line
is not materially strengthened it may
| be driven back to the st. Quentin line,
with certain heavy losses in the re
treat.
The advance St D:cd Yesterday places
the Allies astride Of The Villers Bret
t0nCaux Chaulnes railroad, which has
been used by the Germans to feed their
Amlrms and MOntdidirr salients, and
this scizIng Of the railroad threatens
the Cntir" German line now from the
! North sea to Rheims.
Another Retreat
There are siEns, say the reports from
Paris, of an approaching German re
treat ON the north end of his French
and Flemish line, where he has evi
IDENTIFY been expecting to be attacked.
AS the defeat of the Crown Prince
on the MHrne removed the menace of
tn" capture Of Paris 50 the defeat of
Prince RuPIccht on the Sommc yes
terday has caused the menace to the
Channel Ports to vanish and made Ger
tain that no drive to separate the Bri
tiSh and French forces can be made.
Americans Resting
The latest reports from General Per.
shing say that there was little fight
ing on the Nesle River yesterday, al
though the Franco Americans holding
positions on the north bank have been
able to improve their lines somewhat
The German artillery attack upon the
Allied lines is Stacking in force al
though the number Of shells being fired
is very large. These are of small cali
hrr, however, and it Is believed that
the Crown Prince has withdrawn his
heavy ordnance beyond the AisnP
preparatory to evacuarImg the Veslt
territory.
On the Italian front there is only
isolated artillery durls
In Eastern Albania the Bulgari
launched an attack upon the French
lines, being repuIscd.

ALLIED LOSS SMALL

The Allied loss is reported by
correspondents as exceptionally
small.
The attack was launched at FIVE
o'clock in the morning, the British
shock troops advancing towards Cerisy
GniIly, just south Of the Somme, and
the French making a Simultaneous
drive towards Demuin and AubercOurt,
on the south bank of the Luce River.
The British, who used many tanks,
preceded their infantry and tank ad-
vance by only three minutes of con.
centrated shell fire against the German
first lines. The French spent forty
minutes in artillery preparation.
At Moreuil and Morisel, on the Avre
the German offered terrific resistance
to the French, while the British met
with their strongest resistance near
MorlancOurt on the very north end OF
the battleline. The French smashed
down the resistance and advanced rap
idly, reaching Plessier RosainvilIerS
southeast of Moreuil, by yesterday af
ternOon, gain of more than seveI
miles. The British fought at MOrlan
court all day, the Germans retreatinl
at this point stubbornly and making
repeated furious and fruitless counters
Tanks Effective
Elsewhere along the front the resist
ancc was nominal, the tanks crushing
out the machine gun nests and lead
ing the way, while the Allied artillery
was kept moving forward throughout

the battle, being always close behind
the shock troops and shclling ahead of
them.
Heavy mists, which crcpt over the
battlefield soon after the initial attack
was launched, helped the Allies and
hid their advances from the Germans,
who time after time received their
knowledge of the progress of the
French and British only when these ap,
peared among them with swinging bay
Onets or when the British tanks swept
into and over their lines.
Hard Fighting Progresses
1t is believed that the Germans are
rushing reinfOrcements to this threat
ened section of their line, which al
ready has reached point whore the
Germans at MOntdidicr are in danger
Of being cut off. Hard fighting is
still in progress along the greater part
of the front, with the Allies cOntinu-
ing to drive forward. The outlook for
the Germans is not promising and the
whole line may yet be forced to the
Hindenburg line, from which the Ger,
mans launched their greatest offensive
in March.
Already in their advance the Allies
! have taken more than Il score of vii
lagos and four important towns.

of Prince Ruprecht's divisions
have been smashed. These are
the twenty seventh, the forty

badly cut up.
General Haig, reporting last
night on the success of the drive,
said: The French, Canadians,
Australians and English stormed
the enemy's front along twenty
miles, from Breaches to MOrlan-
court. We have reached the Chi
PLY, on the Somme, and from
thence the new line runs south
east to Framerville, in the center
Of the advance, and southwest to
Caix. We gained our final objec-
tive on practically the entire
front. Tonight our cavalry and
fast tanks are pursuing the
enemy"
No estimate of guns captured
