THE ALLIES CAPTURE.
100000 IN s WEEKS
DAMAGE SIX GERMAN ARMIES
SINCE JULY 15-6RtTISH
EATING INTO SEVENTH.
DESIGNS OF FOCH UNKNOWN
Believed Generally That Foch's Aim
Is to Strike Blows Causing En-
envy irreparabIe Losses in
Men and Material

Paris-The allied armies have
taken more than 100000 prisoners
since July IS. says Marcel Hutin i'll
the Echo de Paris.
The allies have damaged six Ger.
man armies since July Is and the Brit
ish are now eating into the seventh
with the spread of the battle north
ward and over a front of 20 miles.
Whether the enemy is prepared CT
unprepared. allied efforts have had the
same results and the Germans have
been outgeneraled and outfought. The
past six weeks have been those of
Gems. Won Even, Won Hutier and Won
Boehn, Won Even, Won Hutier and ven
der Marwitz.
The full designs of Marshal Foch
are known only to himself and per-
haps one or two others, but it is be-
lieved generally that his aim is not,
as the Germans claim, to pierce their
line, but to strike succession CT
blows to cause the enemy irreplacea
BILE losses in men and material and
to force him to make more or less dis
astrous retreats.
If that be the marshal's plan, he is
pursuing 1t with skill and unvarying
success. Gen. Ludendorff is being
forced to expend his effectives out of
all proportion to his resources on a
given sector of the front, after which
another blow is struck home on an
other sector. AT no place have the
Germans apparently been strong
enough to check the attack entirely.

BIG GUNS COMMAND

FRENCH LEADERS BRILLIANT LO-
CAL THRUSTS WREST GROUND
FROM THE ENEMY.
FRENCH TAKE 2,20OGERMANs
Latest suSsss Gives Gen. Mansin's
Forces Command Of the Valley Of
Disc AS Far AS Mont Renaud.
Many Prisoners Taken.

With the French Army in France
In brilliant local operations carried
out by Gen. Mangin's troops, from the
ward TO Morsain, northwest OF Sois-
sons, important positions were wre5t-
ed from the Germans. who left 2,2O0
prisoners in the hands of the French.
Gen. Mangin's forces advanced three
miles at the greatest depth of the
front
The first German line of defense was
crossed over nearly the whole front
though the resistance was most Wig
orous at many places.
Gen Mangin holds the line running
from Morsain along the southern edge
Of the ravine Of Audignicourt to Fo-
settle heights, dominating the plain of
Carlepoint, and thence on to Pimrez,
across the Disc. This success gives
the French command of the valley of
the Disc as far as Mont Renaud.
With these routes commanded by
Cen Mangin's artillery, the only free
route for exit from the region of Noy
on and Lassigny is the narrow gauge
iluc uOItu 10 nam ny way VI
Guiscard, and the high road running
in the same direction.
Unless the German generai. Won
Hutier, is able to stop Mangins ad-
vance he will have only this narrow
outlet for his troops and material. as
the triangle between the Noyon-
Chauny road and the road from Noyon
to Guiscard, while a good position Cor
defense, is not fayora BILE for an intense
movement of troops and transport.
The Germans consequently are fight
ing desperately to hold the present
lines. while seeking chance to shake
off the grip of the allies. break contact
with them and slip away. The result
Of operations, while not spectacular,
were entirely satisfactory, the French
overcoming the resistance of the Ger
mans in the region of Lassigny and
pressing on toward Plessier.
