SUMMARY

Associated Press Summary.-The important town of Montdidier, at the apex of the German salient to the south of the Somme fell to the attacks of the Allied troops this morning, and the German General von Hutier's army is now retreating from the Montdidier-Noyon line.
 The French troops have taken the offensive along a sixteen-mile front between Montdidier and Disc, and are advancing steadily. The British are advancing unchecked to the north, and the town of Chaulnes, the great German base south of the Somme, is expected to fall into the hands of the Allies at any hour. Farther north, the Germans are re- sisting stubbornly and desperate fighting is reported. They have lost Morlancourt, however and the Americans are operating near Nor lancourt now. The town of Mont didier was highly prized by the Ger mans as an important strategic point.

 On Sunday. y-r

Tomorrow afternoon at ? o'clock, provided the weather keeps as fine as it was today, teams representing the married men and the bachelors will battle for honors on the base ball diamond.

 The return game between the bachelors and married teams was ar ranged for the 18th of last month, but had to be abandoned owing to the bad weather prevailing at that time, much to the disappointment of the fans and the players them selves, especially the bachelors.
 A very close and exciting game is sure to result tomorrow and it is hoped that there will be large attendance to encourage the teams.

 Says General March.

WASHINGTON, D C.-General March, chief of staff of the Ameri- can army, said today that the entire battleline from Rheims to Flanders has now been strengthened out and that the time has come for the greatest Allied effort.

 The Franco British drive in Picardy has put the enemy in a bad posi- tion, similar to the pocket which closed them up on the Aisne- -Marne front
 Any suggestion that the end of the war is at hand should be dis couraged, General March thinks, for the time has come to keep the enc my on the run and hit him the hard est blow In taking the offensive, the Allies have the greater advant- age, as they are now in position to keep the enemy guessing, instead of guessing themselves.
