FOE FIGHTS TO SAVE
FOUR VITAL POINTS

Paris, Aug. l2-Chaulnes. Roye, Las
signy and Noyon-these are the vital
points in the general line on which the
Germans are desperately striving to re-
cover their balance and stem the on
sweeping Allies.
General Won Ludendorff is pulling in
reserves from the entire region and
while, he is trying to reorganiZe the
divisions hurled back by the French and
British.
Whether the Germans have decided to
make real stand on this line. or only
a temporary one, to enable General Won
Hutier to withdraw his heavy guns and
material. cannot yet be discerned The
Allies are now thrusting wedges be-
tween these four main bulwarks in the
German line, In an effort to make them
untenable.

will be captured shortly, after which
the Germans would have no line this

Further Teuton Retreat in

Temporary Stand
By the Associated Press

Mighty efforts are being made by the
German high command to check the
Allies advance through Picardy toward
Peronne, Roye and Noyon. On the
northern end of the battleline the British
have not been able to progress rapidly

however, that Roye has been abandoned
by the enemy,
On the right the French are still gain
Ing ground steadily. They have reached
the crest of the hills west Of the Disc
and have virtually cleared the Matz
Valley of the enemy.
An important Allied advance is re-
ported in the fact that the French have
reached Antoval. on the crest of the
hills west Of Ribecourt. In the German
drive early in June the fall of Antoval
proved fatal to French hopes to hold
the Valley of the Oise, as well as the
forest of Carlepont. on the east bank
If Antoval is firmly held by the
French. the German lines along the Disc,
1t seems, are In danger,and IL the French
continue to gain, the enemy's retirement
from territory held along the eastern
bank of the river may be forced
Reports would appear to indicate that
the line where the present heavy fight
ing is going on is not the one upon
which the Germans have decided to
stand definitely on the defensive.
The coming day or two probably Will
be marked by savage fighting, espe-
cially on the south. where the continued
progress of the French would weaken
the whole German position, If 1t does
not turn the flank of the Noyon- Nesles
line, which 1t appears may be the first
defensive front upon which the enemy
may elect to stand.
Paris reports unofficially that 10000
prisoners have been taken since Thurs.

HINDENBURG URGES
BIG RETREAT. REPORT

Rome. Aug. 12.-(By !. n. S).--Evac-
uation of the whole German salient on
the western front, formed by Ypres, the
Montdidier sector and the Nerdun area,
is being urged upon the Kaiser by Won
Hindenburg, according to news agency
dispatch from Zurich today.
German great headquarters have been
removed from France into Germany,
behind the Rnine river. 1t was added
The explanation given was that head,
quarters We're transferred because Of the
activity of Allied airmen."
The Kaiser is being advised by Won
Hindeuburg to adopt a defensive front
along the western battle line" the dis
patch said.
Hindenburg was said to base his rea
sons for the widespread evacuation of
German positions in Belgium and
France on the argument that 1t would
shorten and straighten the German
front and make 1t easier TO defend.
