With British Army, in France,
Aug. 27.-The extension of the Brit
ish line: north has brought the at
tackers to within striking distance
of a good part of the Hindenberg
line, back of which is open country
with terrain and roads in excellent
shape for the movement of tanks
and horses.
The British made speedy progress
today, especially on the new section
of the front around Bapaume, and
astride the somme. German resist
ance is stubborn, however, and it is
beginning to look as though the en-
emy is fighting with the hope of
holding up the British.
No fresh German divisions have
been identified in the recent fighting.
The strategy of the German, high
command now is to leave the battered
divisions to fight rear guard actions.
General Ludendorff perhaps has
some plan to make a stand to the
rear of the present line and is saving
what men he can for that purpose.

Every means known to modern
warfare is being used by the enemy
to stay the onrush of the British and
the French, but the allied machine
moves on. Heavy re-enforcements
have been thrown into the fray by
the Germans, mostly in the center
around Bapaume and one desire or
the enemy seems to be to find a line
where he can stand long enough to-
make an orderly retreat.
Marshal Foch is giving the enemy
no rest. There is no letup in the al
lied pressure, and each of the active
fighting fronts is being extended ON
the north and south and each iS
marked by gains, adding to the peril
of the enemy center, which is trying
to prevent the British from advanc-

early Sunday east of Fismes. The
soldier, who was bank employee,

said soldiers no longer had enthusi-
asm for the war. Most of those whom
he had come in contact believed the
war would end soon.
The prisoner had been fighting
three years and declared that he was
thoroughly tired of it. He said the
soldiers understood that the German
losses in the recent allied offensive
had been very great. These reports
were credited by the soldiers, which
he said had demoralizing ecect.
He said he knew of one division
Of $4,000 which had been reduced
to less than 1000. He did not know
what became of the men.
