FALL OF NOYON
SEEMS IMMINENT
Drive on Germans Along AiIette
River Continues With
Harassing Effects.
FOCH'S BLOW UPSET THEM
Heavy Bag Of Guns Captured
APPROVES Germans Had Not
PLANNED To Retreat.
FoCH'S BLOW UPSET THEM

Paris, Aug. 23.-(9:50 a. m.(--The
drive on the Germans around Noyon
and along the Ailette river continues.
Advices from the front early today
said that everywhere the retreating
enemy is being harassed by the French
troops.
The fall of Noyon is believed to be
the next important development, the
Figaro today said.
The Germans will be forced to give
UP the city soon. The French troops
of Gen. Humbert are slowly but sure
ly enveloping this German base.
The entire Paris press today agrees
that the German line in the west Is
now in the most precarious position 1t
has ever been. The utter demoraliza-
ton the Germans have been thrown
into is shown by the captures the
French have made, 1t is pointed out.
In the past three days the French have
taken thousands of prisoners and the
war office last night announced that
more than 200 guns had been captured.
Critics today said this heavy bag of
guns proved that the Germans had OF
planned retreat along this line and
that the suddenness of Foch's blow
had completely upset them.

AMERICA TURNED ~
TIDE IN FAVOR OF ALLIES
Premier Borden Declares Spirit
of Others Has Never
Been Stronger.

An Atlantic Port. Aug. 23.-"America
turned the tide in favor Of the allies"
So declared Sir Robert l.. Borden, pre-
mier of Canada. when reaching here to-.
day from Europe with large staff OF
Canadian officials. u
Never has the spirit OF the allies been
better or that Of the armies more united
than at present" the premier said.
I'VE arrived in England just after the
German drive in the north and the Aus
trian drive in Italy had started. The
gloom that was occasioned by these two
events has been entirely dissipated by the
present allied successes.
'Since I~left Quebec last May more
than a million troops have been trans
ported overseas from the United States
and Canada. 1t is impossible to overes-
innate the cheer brought about by the
arrival Of the American troops IN Europe.
All Europe has been impressed by their
splendid physique their resourcefulness
and their magnificent fighting qualities"
Premier Borden said the Americans, the
French and the British and Canadians
were fighting in complete accord, with a
lone aim--"Victory."

CROWN PRINCE TO
HOLD VESLELINE
Fears Further Retirement Will
Lengthen Front and Expose
Him to Difficult Situation.
ENEMY HAS BRIDGEHEADS
East Saint Tribaud and Fringe,
but They Are at Mercy Of
American Forces.

With the American Army on the
Aisne-V -Vesle Front. Aug. 23.-There is
much evidence to strengthen the be-
lief that the German crown prince Is
making the utmost preparation to pre-
vent being forced far back from the
Vesle line. Such retirement would
lengthen his front and also impose
upon him the difficult situation of rec
tifying the line north Of Rheims as the
Aisne passes Berry -au- Bac, which was
always a vulnerable enemy position. 1t
exposes the crown prince to a de-
bouching place for allied attacks in the
Champagne and against Laon, which
are of the highest strategical impor-
tance to the enemy.
Hindenburg evidences comprehension
of the Vesle front by leaving thirty
four divisions at the disposal of the
army holding between Braisne and
Jonchery. This army is believed to be
commanded by the crown prince gen
orally. as Gems Won Wichura. Won
Mudra, Won kathen, Won Schmettow
and Fritz Won Below each have been
relieved of command since the Marne
fiasco.
Ut has been reported from Rome
that the crown prince had been ire
ieved" Of his command for six months.)
The Americans have established the
fact that the Fourth Prussian guards
and the crack Twenty ninth and Sew
enteenth divisions are still opposing
them. although echelonned depth ma
chine gun allotments have been oubled
to make possible lengthier defense
with minimum losses in case of attack.
The Germans are still holding two
bridgeheads of the Vesle. and east of

south of Chateau -le- D able, but both
are at the mercy of the Americans
whenever they wish to take them. The
enemy has constructed steel machine
gun pill boxes" but the Americans
hold higher ground which enables
them to blast them from the earth's
surface with artillery at will

THOMPSON scoRNs REQUEST
OF SECURITY LEAGUE
He Declares Political Bias Of Members

Chicago, Aug. 23.--Mayor Thompson
scorns the request of the National
Security league that he explain his war
views in connection with his campaign
for the United States senate. Asked
to appear before representatives of the
league he replied:
"The political bias of these gentle
men Is shown by the fact that they
have all been advertised as members
of Mcdill McCormick's campaign COM
mittee of millionaires. Irrespective Of
the identity of these men and the
sinsister interests they represent, they
have no right to set themselves up a

citizen. 1t is an insult to the people
of Illinois to insinvate they are not
capable Of making a choice for them
