While the allies heaviest
guns pound the German mill

Rupprecht's reply, by infan-
try, artillery and air, is very
feeble, so far. Some counter
attacks were attempted, but
they were easily repulscd.
With the coming up Of rein
forcements, however, it is in
evitable that the enemy resist

ties are exceptionally light. At

very few patients had been ad-

absolute proof of the complete

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE, Aug. (nighD The
Franco-British attack in Picardy is
likely to have big influence on the
situation along the Aisne-Vesle line,
where there has been no great
change In the past twenty-four hours.
The Americans improved their po-
sitions slightly by heavy attacks, but
for the most part were busy repuls-
ing German counter attacks. Five OF
these enemy assaults were broken
up today. Our artillery stopped the
first two. The third reached our
lines, but the infantry threw them
back In a hand to-hand struggle. The
next two were repulsed by rifle and
machine gun fire.
The bridgehead at Fismes was
widened during the next day. Ihee
city is now entirely cleared OF
Boches, who have been hunted out
of cellars and dugouts and captured
or exterminated.
Heavy artillery exchanges con
tinued throughout the day. The rains
have passed and the roads have dried
out. simplifying things. Germans
however, are strongly entrenched on
the heights north of the Vesie IN
caves and deep dugouts. Our artll

and acted as strong points un-
til the troops came up. Big
tanks, surrounded by the little
'whippets" looked like dread
|noughts escorted by destroyers.
The "whippets" are able to
dodge and turn faster than a
man. Operating over rough
ground they ran down enemy
groups and individuals, flat
tening out machine gun nests,
grinding the crews into the
mud and terrorizing whole sec
tors.
I was told that members of
the tank staff kept in touch
with their machines from low
flying airplanes, thus covering
the whole battlefield in a few
minutes and returning with
first hand information regard
ing the entire situation.
! Neither the tanks nor the
troops encountered a great
deal Of barbed wire or trenches.
Obviously Rupprecht either
estimated himself or un-
der rated his opponents. It is
clear that he little expected a
serious offensive. Rather, he
was aiming to push on himself.
The present battle ground is
lust south of the old Somme
shell hole country which Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg laid
waste in 1917 during his re-
treat. He dynamited farms
and villages, felled orchards
and trees bordering roads, and
even cleared away the under
brush, giving as his excuse,
that he was preparing the
ground for open warfare in the
future, when the British would
have this desert at their backs
and the dreaded German "sup.
ermen" in front.
Today, Won Hindenburg's
legions are being pressed back
against the Hun-made waste
; with scarcely one small tree OF
wood for protection.
Marshals Foch and Haig ap
parently have caught Won Hin
: denburg unawares. If he es
capes a bitter drubbing, the
| present signs are totally mis-
leading.
