The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1918-08-15

The defeated but not diSOrganiZed
Huns between scissors and Reims, as
was predicted, gathered their strength
for pause in their retreat between
the Vesle and the Aisne. Their guns
were brought into play from the plat
eau in that region which commands
the Vesle valley. The Germans, in
deed. made strenuous attempts to pre-
vent the French and Americans from
crossing the Vesle, especially in the
vicinity of Fismes, but numerous rela-
lively small units forced the crossings
and held onto their new positions de-
spite furious counterattacks. These
operations were mostly between

Of the week Marshal Foch had not
tried to send any very large forces
across the river, probably waiting I'M
til his artillery could drive the Huns
from the nearer hills to the north.

that their heavier artillery was being
placed north of the Aisne to defend
that line; for there seemed little doubt
that they would be forced that far
north before very long. Their position
south of the Alsne was said to be real
ly untenable though seemingly strong.
At the west end of the line the French
and Americans were steadily pushing
east along the Alsne and at the east
end Immediately north of Reims the
French made considerable advance be
tween the railways running to Laon
and Rethel.
The city OF Fismes, which was so

The statement of the President that

"is conceivable" many officials be-
lieve. will have an important effect in
;forestalling another peace offensive"
by Germany. rumors of which have
reached allied capitals, for several
weeks.
Although only a single reference
was made to Russia. the enumeration
of "the people of stricken Russia still
among the rest, though they are for
the moment unorganized and help
LESS" was counted upon to be a potent
factor in the Influences working for
rehabilitation in that country.
The Mount Vernon address. 1t was
pointed out by some officials while
not so specific as some Of President
Wilson's previous addresses, consti-
tutes in many ways the most forceful
and c1ear-cut statement of allied war
