since noon, when the accounts OF
their successes in the Morlancourt
region were at hand. There is ev-
erv indication however. that they
are pushing ahead steadily, accord
ing to the allied plan.
The latest news from the French
was that they had captured the
towns Salouchoy and Davenescourt.
(Salouchoy is about five miles north
of Montdidier.)
The advices from the French
around Montdidier stated that they
were meeting no severe resistance
and that the Germans undoubtedly
were trying hard to escape from the
nasty salient.
The two new Hun divisions which
appeared on the front were rushed
down the two principal arteries. 1t
is along these arteries, however,
that the allied forces are strongest,
particularly cavalry and tanks, and
two divisions were far too few in
numbers to stem the onrushing tide
1t is not easy to delineate the
line as it stands this afternoon, for
along the whole length of the active
fighting men, the allied forces have

thrown screens of tanks, cavalry and
infantry pickets in scattered local
tiles long distance in advance, pre-
pairing the way for further penetra-
ton. The actual line now solidly
held may be conservatlvely de-
scribed, however, as running as toll
lows:
From Albert to Meracourt- Sur-
Somme, to Proyart, west OF Chaul-
mes and on to Rouvroy; thence east
to Bouchoir east of Faveriles and
Piennes, east of Mortcmer and
thence to Ricquebourg and Mar
queglise.
On this battle front the French
are on the line from the Roye road
southwark while the British line
runs northward from this road. The
Americans are on the narrow front
north OF the Somme.

eral effect of these movements is
Strengthening out OF the line every
where
Answering a question as to the
42nd divisions record, General
March said:
The Rainbow division had its
combat training i'll the Lorraine sec
tor north of Luneville. 1t left that
position to arrive northeast OF
Rheims, where on July IS, it helped
break the main German attack.
When the French-American coun-
ter offensive was launched on the
Marine salient, the division appeared
there shortly in relief of other units.
Our reports indicate the following:
"'ln eight days of battle the di-
vision has forced the passage of the
Ourcq, taking prisoners from six
enemy divisions, met, routed, deci-
mated a crack division of &e Prus
sian Guard, Bavarian division and
one other division, and has driven
back the enemys lines for ten
miles"

MEMPHIS REPUTED
TO BE THE NARCOTIC
CENTER" OF AMERICA

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. l0.-Dr.
Charles A. Rosewatcr, government
expert, who recently completed a
survey in Tennessee, has submitted
his report to Harry L. Eskew, state
commissioner of food and drugs.
DR.. Rosewater terms Memphis the
center of the narcotic traffic of
America" DR.. Rosewater estimates
that there are $4,000 drug addicts in
Tennessee, and says that each spends
not less than 81 per day for drugs.
He says that $4,000 to 10000 ounces
of morphine are sold in Memphis
annually, besides vast amount of
heroin, opium, cocaine and caffe-
inc.
DR.. Rosewater says that federal
statutes are not sufficient, and urges
drastic anti-narcotic laws by the
Tennessee general assembly.

FORMER GOVERNOR OF
LOUISIANA DIES

Washington, Aug. l0.-William
Pitt Kellogg, formerly governor of
Louisiana. died at his home here
today. Born in Orwell. Vermont,
SO years ago, Mr.. Kellogg moved to
Louisiana in 1865, in which year he
was appointed collector OF the port
of New Organs. He served in the
United States senate from Louisiana
from 1868 to 1872; was elected gov
ernor in 1873 and was returned to
the senate again in 1877. Kellogg
had been a resident of Washington
for more than IS years.

said they are members of reserve di-
visions.
Crown Prince Rupprecht, how
ever is known to have large num-
Der of splendid troops which will
probably be thrown into the battle
at once. SO far only two Of these
divisions have come in contact with
the allies, but they have been unable
to check the onward rush of the vic
torious armies of Haig and Debeny.
The number of prisoners captur-
ed during the first three days of the
offensive is very large 1t is hinted at
Paris that it exceeds by far the fig
ures given out in the official state
ments
Two German divisional headquar-
tcrs, with their staffs, are said to
have been taken. The guns and war
materials lost by the enemy consti-
tute very heavy loss.
Since the American forces occu-
pied Fismette, the northern suburb
of Fismes on the Nesle, there have
been no reportt of further attacks
in that region. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the allies there are gath
ering themselves for a new assault
which may have its effect on the
great battle going on further north.
Although there have been rumors
OF heavy fighting south of Arras,
there has been no confirmation of
tkem as yet. Nothing is known of the
situation in Flanders, where on Fri
day the Germans are reported to be
Withdrawing from their advanced
positions.

WAR SUMMARY
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
Crushed by the impact of the
British, French and American Of.
fensive attacks on the battle line
from Albert, northwest of Amiens
TO the Oise river, north of Compi-
egne, German forces are streaming
toward the Somme river and the
Nesle-Noyon canal. So far as can
be determined, the enemy is in full
retreat all along the front, against
which the allies flung themselves
Thursday morning. 1t is reported
from Paris that French patrols are
in Chaulnes, the principal German
center west of the Somme.
Montdidier, at the tip of the Ger
man salient in Picardy, has been
taken by the allies, who cut off large
numbers of the enemy when they
sought to beat retreat from the
city. Thousands of prisoners were
taken there by the allies, it is re-
ported.
North of the Somme, stubborn
enemy resistance at Chipilly spur, a
height which dominates the whole
valley of the River Somme In that
region, has been broken, and the
Germans north of the river have
joined their comrades in retiring.
Plunge Through German Lines.
South of Montdidier, the French
have plunged through the German
lines on the hills west of the Matz
river and are reported to be in the
yalley Of the stream at Marqueglise.
\ When the situation is studied on
, a map i. can be seen that the Ger
mans arc in a serious position east
OF Montdidier. The allies have closed
in on Claulnes and have had the
railroad junction south of that town
under artillery fire for two days. If
Chaulnes is lost to the Germans they
will be forced to make long, peril
ous march eastward over country
.roads toward Noyon.
The rapid progress of the French
below Montdidier has placed even
this road under fire and made it al
most impossible as an avenue OF
escape for the harassed enemy.
In the center, the Germans are re-
ported to be in fuD retreat Allied
airmen have seen r'Ads fillef will
German lorries and nave bee,. active
an bombing these lines of transport.
The bridges of the Somme river
south of Peronne are under fire and
the Peronne line is reported to have
been broken. This will throw new
in the German high
commands task of extricating its
shattered armies from the field
where they have been defeated.
Germans Captives Rather Old
1t now appears that the German
Tines in Ptardy must have been
stripped when Crown Prince Rup-
precht sent troops to the rescue OF
The German crown princes armies
south OF the Aasne three weeks ago.
Paris newspapers remark on the
fact that the captives taken are. for
she mos, part, rather old, and 1t is
