Washington, Aug. 3l.-Elimina-
ton OF the Lys salient, the only Ger
man wedge in the allied line which
might offer favorable starting point
ii the enemy should attempt to re-
gain the initiative on the west front
by major counter attack, will be
the next phase Of General Foch's
strategy, in the opinion of military
observers here. That active steps
already are under way to accomplish
this was indicated today in dispatch
es telling OF the capture of Mount
KENNEL on the extreme northern
wing and La Couture on the south.
An advance on the Lys salient,
which has been comparatively quiet
for some days, might roll up the
left flank OF the Iiindcnburg line
from Ypres to the Scarpe. The Brit
ish wedge from that point south
ward insurcs the allies against any
counter-ilanking operations.
Capture of Chavigny and Cuffies
by Franco-American forces is con-
sdercd highly important, because OF
the situation OF these places on what
might be termed the knife edge
OF the ridge, which further north
becomes the Chemin deS Danes. Be
ing now astride the high ground, the
allies are in a position to strike north
along the ridge and in the valley.

a top crop. Only slight improve

of rains last week, although 4 top
crop is now promising in a few To-
caltieS, while the condition con-
tinues poor in Oklahoma and Ar
kansas despite of recent rains, Bolls
are opening rapidly to the north
ern limit OF the belt. Picking and
ginning is progressing rapidly and
the crop is practically all picked in
southern Texas. Corn, truck, sweet
potatoes. pastures and meadows
were improved by recent rains in
most places in the Southeast, but
more rain is needed in the South
west.

WEATHER AND CROP CON-
DITIONS FOR WEEK END
ING TUESDTY, SEPT. 3

Clear and decidedly W III
weather prevailed during most OF
the week, but showers and thunder
storms occurred during the mid
die and latter part. The rains cov-
cred the entire State and were mod
crate to heavy in the eastern and
central portions and in some OF the
western counties. 1t is still dry and
the drought unbroken in parts OF
the western portion. On the whole,
the weather was favorable and con-
ditions improved generally. kafir
and milo maize generally made good
progress, are heading and will make
some grains. Cane is generally
poor prospect, but is improving.
Corn has most all matured and har-
vesting is under way. Much corn,
kafir. milo maize and can have been
cut and cured for rough stock iced.
Sweet potatoes and peanuts were
greatly damaged by the drought, but
have revived and will probably make
hall crop. Late broo mcorn is Still
fair prospect i'll most northwestern
localities. Early broom-corn is be-
ing marketed rapidly. Cotton pick
ing progressed under generally iav-
orable conditions, and the bulk OF
the crop has been gathered in the
south and southwestern por-
tions. The plants are making new
growth, since the rains set in and
are again blooming, with prospect
OF some top crop. With the most
favorable conditions from now on,
however. the cotton crop will be
very light. Pastures improved rap
idly, except in the dry localities OF
the western portion and are now at
fording fair grazing. Favorable
progress was made in preparing
ground for seeding wheat in the
northern and central portions. 1t
was too dry, however, ior plowing
in most OF the west central and
southwestern counties.

Grain Region Summary.

Good rains benefited corn over
most sections east OF the MiSSiss-
ppi River and from the central
Missouri Valley northward, but
from the lower Missouri Valley and
central Plains States southwark the
crop made little improvement and
the condition continues poor, as
result of previous droughts, except
in portions OF Arkansas and LOUIS
lana where late corn made good
progress. Corn is maturing rapidly
and the bulk of the crop will be
safe from frost damage by Septem-
Der 18th to 10Th. The cutting for
fodder and ensilage is progressing
northward to Maryland, Missouri
and central Nebraska. The thresh-
ing of small grains progressed rapid
" during the past week, with yields
continuing satisfactory. Rains
greatly benefited soil, in prepara-
ton for seeding, over most OF the
principal portions OF the Wheat
Belt and in the eastern states and
the work is being pushed, with many
reports Of increased acreage. Rains
were also very beneficial to pota-
toes, truck, pastures and meadows
in practically all central and east
ern states, but more rain is needed
in the Southwest.

With the British Forces in France,
Aug. 3l.-ln the north, the recent
British successes have apparently
caused the Germans to start a with
drawal extending roughly from the
neighborhood OF KENNEL through
the region OF Bcthune, and this
morning, the British lines appeared
to be progressing rapidly on the
heels of the enemy who is retiring
only after applying the torch to his
stores and demolishing what re-
mains Of the houses.
Bailleul is completely in British
hands, and patrols are on Mont de
Lille. The advancing British also
have apparently reached points well
to the east OF La Couture and Nlelle
Chapele. Patrols are reported to be
in Dranoutre. and on the Scherpen-
berg front, southwest OF 4pres.
Enemy trenches running through
Brie and extending both to the north
and the south, are strongly held by
the Germans, indicating that AT
least for time the enemy intends
to try to hold on to the east bank
OF the River Somme.
Apparently. the Germans in the
Lvs salient are headed for the old
line which runs in front OF Armen-
there's and are abandoning all the
ground in front OF it. This move
ment has been more or less forced
because of the British advances IN
the south. The territory being evac-
uated had left a salient so deep that
it was dangerous to try to hold 1t.

Just why no sjnformation has
