 With the French Armies in the Field, Aug. 29.--The rapidly succeed ing military events not only confirm that the Germans have lost all con- trol of their operations in the regions of the Somme, Avre and Disc rivers, but they indicate that the enemy's own retreat is getting out of hand.
 The effort to stem the French pur- suit by fighting rear guard actions with machine gu.-l sections, leaving a section at intervals of about 400 yards, was only locally successful. On ground especially favorable for fhat sort of terrain around Rove, 1t gained some time for the enemy, en- abling him to move great many guns and considerable part of his ma 9erial behind the Canal In Nord and north Of Noyon.
 XRut once this system Of fighting was mastered thes tremgth of the German rear guard dwindled to all most nothing. The Germans hustled violently. by the French guard, were obliged to risk an engagement with important forces or to quicken their retreat
 The Germans adopted the latter plan and since yesterday morning, they have been making all possible haste on the road leading to San Quentin. La Fere and the Hindenburg line. @hN
 The strong positions of Quesnoy wood. just west of Canal Du Nord, from which the Germans tried by means of the heavy fire Uf all calibres of artillery to check the French troops advancing on both sides Of the Rove Noyon road was captured this morn &v.r

 One of the bullets penetrated lit- tie above the shoulder blade, entering the chest and touching the lung. It caused a congestion of blood in the pleura. This bullet stopped on the right side of the neck over the shoul- der blade
 The second bullet penetrated the left shoulder blade, splitting the bone. It stopped under the skin, Internal bleeding is expected The patient, it was stated, is entirely conscious. His pulse is 104.
 Several attempts have been made against the life of Lenine, since he be- came premier of the Bolsheviki gov ernment in November, 1917, after the overthrow of the Russian imperial dy- nasty. Lenine's real name is Vladimir Hitch Elianoff and he was born of 2 noble family at Simbirsk on the River Volga, about 1870.

 Paris, Aug. 29.--French troops are at the gates of Ham, according to dis pathes from the front. The Germans lost complete intuition trains at Breuil, five miles west of Ham in their precipitate retreat.
