The report will be submitted to

one of these classes into service.
The purpose Of this separation, it
was stated. is to facilitate classified
ton and make men quickly available
to meet draft calls. The only defer
ment contemplated by the War de-
partment is that of the 1919 year men,
whose summons to the colors will be
postponed as long as it is possible to
carry out the educational program
now being arranged.
Recruits Immediately necessary to
additional units will be
drawn from men in Class | between
the ages of l9 and IS until the reser-
voir has been exhausted. but il is fore
seen that these men may be used up
in some local districts before they are

Americans In Violent Conflict.
The Americans are fighting with
the French northwest of scissors in
the operation which has in view the
blotting out of the Noyon sector and
the outflanking OF the Aisne and the
old Chemin-Des-Dames positions
Official reports have the Americans
and French fighting violently with
the enemy around Juvigny and
Chavigy, where they have gained
some ground. The Americans have
successfully sustained several enemy
counter-attacks in this region.
The Americans and the Germans
also are engaged in bitter battles
around Bazoches and Fismette OH
the Vesle.
The Germans endeavored to ford
the Vesle south of Bazoches but were
held by the Americans. Likewise an
enemy assault against Fismette was
stopped. The German official COM
munication asserts the Americans
have suffered severe losses and lost
more than $50 prisoners in the battle
along the Vesle
Omaha daily bee., 1918-08-29

The Germans facing the allied
forces from Arras to Soissons every
where are in dire peril.
On almost every sector OF the bat
tie front the enemy line continues to
crumble before the allied attack, not,
withstanding the violence, born OF
desperation, of the counter offensive
tactics.
Near Arras the old Hindenburg line
now is we'll outflanked; from the
Scarpe to the Somme the hostile
line gradually is falling back, while
from the south of the Somme TO
Soissons the enemy front has liter
ally been smashed and the German
hosts apparently are caught in two
distinct traps, escape from which
without heavy losses in men made
prisoners and guns and material cap
tured seems almost impossible of
achievement.
Dig Into Enemey's Terrain.
Scores of additional towns have
been captured by the British, French
and American troops, the Americans
having entered the fray with the
French northwest of Scissors. while
all of the old German salients in the
allied lines now have been flattened
out and the allies themselves have
dug deeply into the enemy's terrain.
The first trap in which the enemy
finds himself is the triangle formed

spectively, its northern and southern
base. This triangle is a little more
than three miles deep and six miles
wide, and in it the Germans are
fighting with their backs toward the
Somme on both the north and the
east.
Odds Heavily Against Germans.
Desperate resistance is being Of
fered by the enemy in order that his
men may have time to reach haven
of safety across the stream, but the
British are hard after their quarry
and with the French a little to the
south almost up to the river to aid
them by an outflanking movement, it
would seem that the odds are heavily
against the Germans.
1t was the French troops who
sprang the other trap. With the
fall of Chau!nes the French forces
routed the enemy over a front of
about 10 miles and penetrated the
region to a depth at some points of
nearly seven miles. From the north
of Chaulnes to Nesle the penetration
of the French reached the heights on

FOCH'S TACTICS
FORCE ENEMY TO
STAND AND FIGHT
Fate Of Old Hindenburg Line
Likely to Be Decided by
Developments Of Next
48 Hours.

Washington. Aug. 2S.-Deveiop-
ments on the western battle front
during the next 48 hours should de.
termine the fate OF the much-vaunt.
ed "Hindenberg line" in the opinion
OF some military officials here. With
the strength Of the line already ma,
teriaily impaired, observers believed
that scheme of defense, popularity
held, In Germany to be the bulwark
OF the western front, Is In affair way
to. become tintenable. .s0--t ..- -
The impression prevailing In mill
tary circles here is that General
Foch's tactics have forced the enemy
to make every effort to stay the ad-
vance, without the option of with
drawing "unnoticed." For more than
six weeks the main German armies
have been under ceaseless pressure.
This withdrawal, while not pre-
cipitate, has been swift enough to
bring their main concentrations with
in allied artillery fire with conse-
quent effect on the morale OF the ene-
my's men and on his every attempt
to organize an effective resistance.
The longer the tactics of the past
week are kept up, army officers say.
the more difficult will be the attempts
OF the German general staff to stop
them.
Opinion here is that German resis-
tance will stiffen within the next few
hours.
Prisoners taken since July I, Cen
eral March said today, total more
than 10000, while 1900 guns of
heavy caliber-heh pieces and larg-
er--were captured. 1t was under
stood that General March's figures
included only prisoners passing
through detention camps up to the
beginning of the present week. Cap
lures reported by the British and
French since then have averaged
more than 5000 a day, which would
bring the total to more than 10000.
Twelve Divisions Eliminated.
This would represent a loss to the
enemy Of four complete divisions
and il the moderate estimate of one
to two be assumed for other casual
ties, a total of u German divisions
has been put out of the fighting.
Latest official dispatches reaching
the War department did not cover
the fighting Of today, apparently
the most successful since the allied
advance began. General March said
the French activities reported in the
Paris communique this morning had
made a new deep salient which was
being put between the pincers."
Capture by these troops of the rail-
road junction at Roye and the high
ground to the east was of great i'm
portance to the allied plans, General
March said.
