WITH THE FRENCH ARMY ON
THE OISE, Aug. 22.-(Morning) The
fall Of Lassigny at noon yesterday fol-
lowed five days of incessant fighting in
the trenches of the old positions which
were abandoned by the Germans in
March, 1917. Grenades, mine throwers
and all other means of trench warfare
camesagain into play, and hand-to-hand
hsht1ng took place frequently.
The Germans made a stout stand in
Deville Wood, which bristled with ma
chine guns and made an almost i'm
pregnable position. A battalion of the
famous Chasseurs, however, stormed
the wood and took it yesterday morn
ing, thereby sealing the fate of Las
signy.
While the officer commanding the
Chasseurs, a. the head of his men and
with rife in his hand. led them to the
summit Of the height to the east Of
L7ssigny and planted the French fac
there, an infantry regiment, ADVANCING
from Plessier-de-Roy turned the
famous Plemont height, to the north
thus Lassigny not only had fallen
out ITS possession by the French was
made secure by the encircling of a
s'rong position from which the Ger
mans might have delivered counter at
tacks

him month or six weeks of com
paratlve security.
The French advance in the Disc
region is still unchecked. General
Mangin's Tenth Army drove forward
yesterday as much as six or seven
miles at some points. The Oise
stretches east from Noyon for some
nine miles and then turns northeast
toward Chauny and La Fere. All
the valley east from Sempigny, on
the outskirts of Noyon, to the mouth
of the Ailette River, has been cleared
by the French. They have also
cleared the valley of the Ailette,
which runs northwest into the Disc
at Query.
Coucy-le-Chateau, on the old Hin
denburg line, lies a mile east of the
Ailette. The French have crossed
the Ailette and penetrated into the
Low Forest of Coucy, which lies
north of Coucyle- Chateau. Here
they are only two or three miles
below Chauny.
The salient driven north to the
Disc is also being widened to the
east and southeast toward Anizy-le-
Chateau. Here the French are we'll
to the north of scissors and on the
flank and rear Of the Crown Prince
of Prussia's forces between the Vesle
land the Aisne and between the Aisne
and the Chemin des Danes. The
Ailette flows west along the north
side of the Chemin des Danes ridge.
Mangln's operation is therefore
squeezing the Germans out of their
positions to the east of scissors as
we'll as out of their positions to the
west of Noyon. Noyon's fall is i'm
mlnent. The German retreat back
from the Disc is already under wav.
Two hundred guns have already been
taken in the drive between Noyon
and Scissors.
General Humbert's army made
progress yesterday between Noyon
and Lassigny, clearing up the Divette
Valley, from it's mouth to Evricourt.
The French are now in a position to
envelope Roye from the southeast and
east, thus compelling it's evacuation.
The British attacked yesterday
from the Ancre to the Somme, thus
extending Wednesdays operation
from the Ancre up toward Arras.
Albert was taken and an advance of
two miles was made on six-mile
front
In the northern sector, opposite
Bapaume, the Germans are making
a desperate resistance. The British.
however, have taken Achiet-l le- Grand.
Here the Germans are comparative
ly close to the old Hindenburg line.
They do not have to scurry back for
safety. The retirement north of the
Somme will therefore probably be
delayed, accommodating itself to the
conditions imposed south of the
Somme by the breakdown of the Bray
Chaulnes- Roye- Lassigny Noyon line
and the uncertainties Of the new re-
treat in that sector which is lust be-
ginning.

By the "Tages Zcitunq," Of Berlin
as saying:
"Let us look into the future.

NIT tive lately have happened to
have been set back. But this is
fortune of war with which we
must reckon"

shall attain our goal which is an

Military Comment
By w. L. Mcpherson

Copyright, 1918, By The T,1bun
IN the pinches German psychology
works against the Germans
The inability of the German
military mind to admit failure and
face its consequences frankly, it's un-
yielding pride of opinion and its pas
sion for camou1aging defeat play
into the hands of more supple en-
emy.
To make a virtue of necessity is
one Of the highest characteristics of
military leadership. Joffre manifest
ed that quality when he retired be-
low the Marne, evacuating all north
eastern France, before he turned
and defeated Won Moltke. Luden-
dorff has shown no such quiet deci-
sion in the retreats which he has
conducted out of the Marne and the
Montdidier salients.
He has hesitated to go back as far
as it was necessary for him to &c
back in order to start again-or ever
to recuperate. He stopped at the
Ourcq-at useless cost. He went
back to the Vesle and stopped there
But that didn't help him. The ole
Hindenburg line north of the Che
min des Danes was his real stopping
place. He will soon be there.
Similarly, for psychological anc
political rather than military rea
sons, he tried to stop eastfof Mont
dldier on the Bray-Chaulnes- Roye
Lassigny line. He camou1agec
again. If he had made a quicl
"strategical' retirement, he might
have held the Peronne-N -Nesle- -Noyor
line, or the Peronne- Ham -Noyor
line. Now he cannot hold either. Il
is doubtful whether he can stor
short of the old Hindenburg front
which his armies are now rapidl1
approaching, east of Noyon, in thu
neighborhood Of Coucy-le-Chatea,
and La Fere.
Ludendorff overstrained a veal
line subject to attack at many points
He had no strategical reserve lef
and insufficient local reserves to hole
very long on any sector. The re
serves he had were used up in fruit
less counter attacks. These attacks
merely delayed an inevitable Alliec
advance. And they had no militar,
value, because Germany is no longe,
flghting either for time or agains
time. Ludendorff's great gambl,

During his term at college, he spent his summer vacations here, and until the time he entered West Point was here almost every cummer.
