pointed out that with modern labor

BERKELEY, Cal, Jan. I2.-In re-
viewing football season of the Uni.
yersity of California there has been
considerable discussion among fol-
lowers of the game anent the slump
taken by the team at the close of the
season. Men who have studied the
game ascribe the cause to the make
up of the schedule. With the princi-
pal game of the season coming in the
middle of the program, it is contend
ed that the subsequent contests are a
mere anti-climax and interest is on
the wane. With the team brought to
concert pitch in mid-season it is con
tended to be rarity where the men can
be brought up again to this condition
in the same season, especially for min
or games.

ufaCturers have led the world in low
priced cars. Wages are higher in the
United States than in most countries
and probably will remain so, coupled
with highly organized capital and
equipped with the most modern appli-
ances of production, the labor-factor
may be low, Notwithstanding high
wages"
Home markets according to Mr..
Clausen will not keep busy the ire
mendously efficient manufacturing
ability of the country; foreign mar
kets must be sought, and "the only
way we will be able to make the ex-
port sales hoped for will be by using
our capital to finance the purchases. g"
This procedure, Mr.. C1ausen pointed
out, was followed by Great Britain in
making herself pre-eminent in foreign
trade, and in all continental countries
large bodies of investors are found
who are used to buying securities any
where in the world.
Manufacturers are beginning to
realize that their most aggressive COM
petitors are not their fellow country
men engaged in international trade"
Mr.. Clausen continued in his paper,
'but rather the powerful combina-
lions of merchants in other countries.
Cooperative combinations such as
may be deemed expedient to develop
our foreign relations in normal times
are essential, and should in no sense
be considered a contractional restraint

VESLE CROSSED BY
OUR MEN EAST AND
WEST OF FISHES

LONDON, Aug. S.-News from the
SoiSsonS-Rheip1S front this afternoon is
that the Germans are holding the north
ern bank of the VeSle in considerable
strength with a large number of guns.
They are believed to have destroyed
some of the bridges over the Aisne and
to have taken some of their heavy guns
across that river.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE VESLE, Wednesday, Aug. 7.-7:1O
p. m.-(By the Associated Press. 1.-The
river Vesle was crossed east and west
of Fismes late today by additional
American infantrymen. West of Fismes
the Americans are breaking up counter
attacks by German infantry and are
holding their ground despite the enemy
efforts.
In support of the Americans who had
crossed the river during Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning a detachment
of infantry crossed the VeSle under q
Franco-American barrage just before
noon today. Two other attachments
reached the north bank during the after
noon.
The Germans counter attacked the
Americans west of Fismes this after
noon. but were scattered by the Ameri-
can artillery fire. The enemy is endeav-
oring to prevent the American advance,
but the Americans have pushed on un-
der heavy fire and in bitter fighting
in which the men from overseas used
their bayonets effectively. A few Ger
mans were takken prisoners, while the
others retired.
The stiffest resistance facing the
American infantry north of the Vesle
in the region west of F1smes is from
a knoll north of Bazoches. Here a num-
Der of German machine gun companies
have dug in and are clinging desperate
~ to the hill despite the fire of the
heavy allied guns. One of the Ameri-
can detachments which crossed the riv
er today reinforced the Americans along

FOCH PLANS NEW
POCKET FOR HUNS
IN PICARDY DRIVE
Areas of Contact Between
Crown Prince and Prince
RuppreCht Will Be Seriously
MenaCed If Haig Advances

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Marsnal Foch's
new drive, begun this morning east of
Amiens, is for the purpose of creating
new salient beyond the Avre river.
and at the same time encroaching upon
the principal railway which feeds re-
serves :nto Won Hindenburgs southern
front. Won Hindenburg has undoubtedly
weakened his lines between Montdidier
and Amiens for the purpose of securing
reserves to prevent his scissors and
Rheims TANKS from being crushed in. At
the same time, the kaiser's general star
is now primarily concerned with trying
to get its retreating army over the Aisne
and in positions to defend the Chemin
des Danes. An opportunity, therefore,
unique since the battle Of the Marine has
offered itself to Marshal Foch to strike
along a new sector of the western front
while elsewhere the Germans are in re-
treat and on the defensive.
The area selected for the new Often
sive offers the most promising possibil1-
ties Of any held out along the entire
west front. The great railway line rum
ming eastward behind the German front
from Amiens is the dividing line De
tween the armies of the German crown
prince in the south and Crown Prince
Rupprecht's forces in the north. If the
British and French troops succeed in
controlling it for any considerable dis
tance, Rupprecht and the young Hohen-
zollern will have their areas of contact
very dangerously shortened, necessitat-
ing a considerable detour for troops to
move from one sector to the other.
At the same time, a sharp pocket will
be made of the German crown princes
front between Amiens and Montdidier
which will threaten Won Hindenburg
with the possibility of a new enemy
offensive and will have rescued the i'm
portant Amiens-Paris railway from the
menace of the German artillery.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1918-08-09

terly counter offensive against the west
ern side of the Soissons-Rheims salient
has been expected since the Germans
were driven back to the Aisne and the
Vesle. It was not believed that the
allied commanders would permit the
initiative to pass to the enemy after
the stunning defeat administered to him
along the Marine. Foch is known to be
an offensive fighter and it has been pre-
dicted that new blow would fall on the
German lines before they had time to
reorganize their shattered divisions be-
hind the Vesle and the Aisne.
The Germans seem to have had
knowledge Of the plans of the allied
commander-in-chief,f for during the last
ten days they have carried out three To-
cal letirements in the northern sectors
of their Iines-two of these Withdrawals
being IN the Picardy salient, one on each
side of Albert, along the Ancre river,
and the other along the Avre river,
north of MOntdidier. In both cases the
enemy retired TO positions before which
rivers offer partial protection.
The fighting in Picardy recalls 80
great offensive carried out there by tie
British and French in 1916, and the Ger
man strategic retreat" to the linden
burg tine in February and March, 1917.
The British had forced their way during
the fall eastward from Albert to the
neighborhood of Grand Court, west of
BaDaume, and the French were before
NoyOn. almost directly to the south
when in the early months of 1917, the
Germans discovered that the allies had
massed guns and materials for a major
offensive. They then retreated to the
m0rai-La Fere line, which they oc-
cupied until March p, 1918, and from
which they launched their first great
Offensive of the preseE< summer
The field over which the British are
fighting today is familiar groand to
them, Dut to the south the French must
force the enemy back from territory

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Aug. S.-Franco- British
troops attacked at dawn this morning
between Morlancourt and Moreuil, on a
front of about fifteen miles astride the
Somme
Several important villages have been
reached. The battle generally appears
to be going we'll for the allies.
Several hundred tanks led the way,
fast "whippets" supporting. The whip

down everywhere.
The French are attacking in the re-
gion of Moreuil. Reports received here
from that front are extremely optimis-
tic.
A bombardment of but three minutes
preceded the British attack. The French
attack, by agreement, was made a few
minutes later, their artillery smothering
the territory south of the Amiens-Roye
road beforehand.
Prisoners declare the attack was a
complete surprise. A number of guns
are reported to have been captured.
The attack was begun in fine wealth
