FOCH RIPS OPEN
PICARDY FRONT.
Franco-British Troops Launch
Powerful Offensive on Wide
Front in Somme Region.
STRIPS FOE OF INITIATIVE.
Germans, Taken Completely by Sur
prise, in Full Flight Before the Vic
tors-Prospect That Somme
Salient Will Be Wiped Out.

London.-Marshal Foch has struck
the Germans another staggering blow,
this time with his mighty left fist.
The allied chief, realizing that the
enemy forces under the German
Grown Prince were still groggy from
the punch which knocked them out of
the Marine pocket and that the divi-
sions borrowed from Crown Prince
Rupprecht probably had not been re-
smash into the Germans in the Albert
Montdider salient. .
The German official night report
comedies the allied victory on the new
battle front saying: "The enemy has
forced his way into our positions"
The Prussians and Bavarians fed
before the advancing infantry and
tanks, leaving many of their guns be-
hind them.
The number of prisoners taken dur
ing the first day of the drive by the
French and British in Picardy exceeds
10000, according to the latest news
from the battle front.
The allies also have taken an enor-
nous booty in guns and material, says
Marcel Hutin in the Echo de Paris.
The drive was a complete surprise
to the enemy. The troops had been
concentrated in the night. At day
break Sir Henry RawlinsOn's Fourth
army went over the top with only
three minutes artillery preparation.
AS the British charged, the French
First army, on their right, command
ed by General Debentry, began a
heavy bombardment lasting 40 min
utes. Then the French also advanced
to the attack.
A tremendous nr'2Nc~ IT tanks. in
Guiding many Of t.,. Ht,C&, 'Wh'p-
pets" did great execution among the
foe. British cavalry and motor ma
chine gun batteries were also thrown
in. The cavalry galloped through gaps
the tanks made in the enemy lines,
rode down retreating German wagon
columns and captured villages and
many prisoners.
The allies were favored by hazy
weather, preventing the Germans from
seeing the deluge about to engulf
them. No enemy airplanes appeared
over the field for several hours.
The weight of the blow fell on the
| German Eighteenth army, led by the
| celebrated General Won Hutier. II
| gave way rapidly. At an early hour
| all the first detectives were reached.
After pause the allies again plunged
forward and the advance continued
throughout the day. Only about Nor
lancourt, at the north end of the line,
was the enemy's resistance effective.
In the afternoon the enemy divisions
seemed to be in confusion. The allied
troops in the first line saw hurried
preparations for flight on the horizon.
Enemy motor trains were driven off at
full speed
When nightfall came a great wedge
had been driven into the enemy lines.
This seriously threatens the German
positions north and south of it. The
enemy must either check Foch's men
very soon or retire on a wide front,
perhaps back to the Hindenburg line,
from which he started with such high
hopes on March 81.
