where the engines were running and into which the fumes from the guns filtered.
 The allies are pausing with the knowl- ege that they have relieved the pres sure on Amiens and fi~sd from the Ger mans hundreds of square miles of land on much of which there are ripe crops.
 The situation north of the Somme $ still difficult. The Germans, with their backs to the river, are apparently hold ing the high ground southwest of Etine- allies this morning in spite of the enemy resistance at this point. After quiet night, the Americans were holding a sec- tion of the line at Bray, north of the Somme. Just south of the river the Germans seem to have strong forces in Cateaux wood. While Herleville and Chaulnes are considered to be in enemy territory, Australian patrols seem to have been operating there.

The increasing difficulties attending their retreat are driving the Germans to desperate sacrifices in their efforts tc check the allies advance around the po- sitions the Germans hold. Their losses are extremely heavy and their dead lie all over the field. They are found in shell holes and hooks where they vainly sought protection from the French fire. fire
 Among them are some survivors who are found in every possible hiding place. Privations were endured by the Ger mans in the front line recently. This was picturesquely evidenced by a letter found since the offensive began. It was from an officer, who informed his rela- lives in Germany that the French artil- lery had been furnishing the only meat available by killing horses.
 Another officer wrote with pride and satisfaction that he was able to send along with his message of love and hope a sack of wheat he had just greaned from an adjoining field.
 A German wireless operator was found at the bottom of we'll after the French had advanced over the enemy positions. As an evidence of the haste with which the enemy withdrew, it may be said that up for transmission to Germany was cap tured at Reasons -Sur-Metz.
 ROVE REPORTED EVACUATED
 With the British Army in France, Au- gust 12-(By the Associated Press) )-There Is an unconfirmed report this afternoon that the town of Rove, which the Ger mans have been defending so despera tely, has been evacuated.
 British tanks have been seen operating a considerable distance east of that town
 As nearly as can be learned, the battle line from north to south runs today near Mericourt, Proyart, Rainecourt and I4i- hons, which apparently is finally secure in British hands, after bitter fighting; then west of Chaulnes, through or near Chaully. which has changed hands twice, thence through Fouquescourt, Parvillers, Damery. Anderchy. L'Echelle, Arman- court. Dancourt. Popincourt. Roye-Sur- Matx, Mareuil, Samson and Antoval, striking the old line near Ribecourt.
 The battle appears to be approaching the end of the first phase, with the lines steadily hardening on the front, speaking generally, that the Germans held when they retired 10 the linden burg line.
 The assistance that has been rendered by the Americans in this fighting has been comparatively small but neverthe- less important for they have captured and held positions strongly defended by the enemy at one of the most difficult points in the line at a time when the German resistance here was threatening to hold up the left flank of the ad- < vance.
 It must be understood that hard fight ing like that in which the allies have been engaged since Thursday cannot go on indefinitely without giving the troops opportunity for recreation. The horses. which have been working constantly day and night, bringing up heavier and less movable artillery, are exhausted, and it is important that the crews of tanks be given time to recuperate from tine ef- feet of their hardest work
