The New Battle Line.

With the British Army in France
Aug. 12.-As near as can be learned
the battle line from north to south
runs today near Mericourt, Preyort
Rhinecour and Lihons, which appar-
entity is finally secure in British
hands after bitter fighting; thence
west Of Chaulnes, through or near
Chilly, which has changed hands
twice, thence through Fouquescourt,
Parvillers, Damery, Andechy, L'Ech-
ellie, Armancourt, DancoUrt, Popin-
court, Rye-Sur- Matz, Mareuil, Sam
son and Antoval, striking the old line
near Ribecourt .-.
The battle appears to be ap-
preaching the end Of the first phase,
with the lines steadily hardening on
the front Speaking generally, the
Germans held when they retired to
the Hindenburg line.
The assistance that has been rem
dered by the Americans in this
fighting has been comparatively
small, but nevertheless important
for they have captured and held po-
sitions strongly defended by the
enemy at one of the most difficult
points in the line at a time when the
German resistance here was threat
euing to hold up the left flank Of the
advance.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Wm. D. Hay
wood, general secretary and treas
urer Of the I. w. W., was cross ex-
amined today by Frank X. Nebeker,
chief counsel for the government, at
the trial Of 100 members of the I. w.
w. charged with violations Of the
espionage law. Government attor-
neys attempted to show that Hay
wood was responsible for the general
strike which started last June In the
lumber camps Of the northwest and
spread to the copper mines of Ari-
IONA, and that the arrest Of Jas.
Rowan and other I. w. w. leaders
was all that prevented the strike
from extending to the agricultural
workers in the harvest fields Of the
middle west. the iron mines Of Mich
iga1 and the marine transport en-
ployes in Atlantic ports, which the
government contends was part Of the
conspiracy to interfere with the sue
cessful conduct Of the war by the
United States.
Haywood denied personal respon-
sibility for the general strike and
blamed his lieutenants. He said the
general strike planned by the l. w.
w. last June was not an anti-war
measure but was "a spontaneous
uprising of workers for more pay,
shorter hours and improved work
ing conditions"

It's the little things that count this
year in the womap's wardrobe. 1t is
the collar, the frill, the vestee, the
handkerchief, the bag, the bit of rib

attractive accessories and all Of the
extra things which women love to
buy with pin money and which help
to make their costumes distinctive.
Here Is very artistic and at the
same time serviceable and practi-
cal dress accessory. This knitted
scarf and hat are just the thing to
make any girl long for a hike in the

purpose of preventing the complete
rout ct General Won Hutier's army
which retreated from the Montdid err
salient early Saturday morning.
AViators report heavy movements Of
troops and transport toward the
east. <
German attacks have been strong
and repeated. Around Lihons the en-
envy forced his way into the western
side OF the village, but later was
driven out. The British positions
Seemingly the German purpose here
is to protect the railroad junction at
Chaulnes through which, all the
troops from the Roye region must
pass. However,. the railroad is at
no point more than three miles from
the allied line from northwest of
ChauInes to southwest of Roye, the
most important section of the line
from a German standpoint. BY
striving to hold the British, the Ger
mans also protect the pocket which
was beginning to grow unsafe, be-
tween the Somne and Arras.
All railroad lines leading out of
Roye are now within easy cannon
range of the allied guns and French
troops are at Andechy, three miles
to the west and within less than
four miles from the southwest where
they have crossed the last barrier
of hills. Lassiany, between, RoYe
and Noyon, is within two and one
half miles Of the French on the west
and south. 1t is an important po-
sition south of Noyon. The French
are fighting their way up the Disc
and are within 5 miles of the town.
y Noyon is important not only in its
q
but TO the German position eastward
toward Rheims and the enemy is
fighting desperately to stay the
French advance toward it. The fall
of Noyon undoubtedly would compel
a Encouragement of the enemy line
eastward. ia.
UnoffioialIy, the allies have taken
10000 prisoners and 700 guns. Since
the BEGINNING of the German often
sive on the Marine, four weeks ago
today, the enemy has last nearly u.s.
900 prisoners and over 1,a00, guns.

leans are making no attack in force,
The, German artillery fire has been
much heavier. Enemy preparations
for an attack Sunday were stopped
by American artillery fire. The first
American field artillery has been or
uanized with five corps under the
command of General Pershing.
Lenine and TrotzkGy rulers of Rus
sia since last November according

Aug. 12.--( Havas Agency - When
the French troops entered Mont
didier at 1890 o'clock Saturday 5af-
ternoon the Germans had not yet
completely evacuated the town,
clinging to the outskirts of the
place with the help of machine guns,
some of which were being served by
the officers of the detachnents, all
the men having been killed or
wounded.
The French troops are pursuing
their success and have now pro-
crossed far east of Montdidier, gath
ering up along the route thousands
OF prisoners, together with enemy
cannon and machine guns. Harassed
by the French cavalry, which had
pushed far ahead, the Germans were
thrown into great disorder as they
sought to fall back. In the wake OF
the cavalry came armored cars with
automatic. guns which scattered ter
ror and destruction amongst the re-
treating foe. The enemy was en-
