OFFICERS FROM OVERSEAS
 TO INSTRUCT

Washington, Aug. 2S-Experienced flying officers are returning from over seas service, a war department an- nouncement says, to act as special in- structors in the advanced sections of American flying schools. At the same time elemental instruction at the fields has been put under new systems by which cadets are assigned to single instructor, and kept under his tute- lage until they complete the first course. This is said to be safer and more effective than the former prac- tice of giving the students fixed amount of flying with instructors, af- ter which they are required to make a solo flight.

an eventual retirement.
 American Headquarters on the Vesle, Tuesday, August 27-The situation along the Vesle is altering, though in a most curious way. The American pressure has not increased and though the American guns never are silent for long, their objectives rarely are the lines in front of them, but rather the bridges over the Aisne.
 Gen. Mangin is pressing steadily eastward across the Juvigny plateau toward the Soissons-St. Quentin road and his guns are in position there to take in to rear the German artillery supporting the line of the Vesle from the great limestone buttress northeast of Soissons. This buttress is of great importance, not only to the Vesle line, but also is the strongest of the flank defenses by which the western end of the Chemin des Danes is covered.
 London, Aug. 28-British forces fighting east of Arras have reached the outskirts of Haucourt, Remy and Boiry Notre Dame, north of the Ar ras-Cambrai road, according to the official statement issued by the war office today.

 South of the Somme the British have taken Foucacourt, while north of the Somme they have attacked and taken the greater part of Trones wood.
 London, Aug 2S---On the Ussuri front, north of V1adivostok, the Bol- sheviki have retired six miles before general advance by all the Allied forces, according to reports received in Shanghai.
 American and Japanese troops, the advices add, are entraining for the Ussuri front.
 News from the front, it is added, is meagre, owing to the fact that the Japanese have taken over the prep aration of information from the Czechs. The Japanese are said to be extremely reticent.
