The supreme commander has made 1t evident he has the men ana the means to keep up the aggressive battle for which American officers have been desirous. The reputation of the great French strategist is that he is the advocate of attacking the ene- my without rest. He is living up to that reputation today as never befSre and indications tonight were that he had scored another punishing surprise blow on an enemy already staggering under the rush that swept him out of the Marne salient in two weeks time.
 LINE SOON TO REACH AISNE
 As the situation is seen here, the enemy now faces alternative operations on at least two fronts. Pressure along the Vesle line Is being maintained viz orously and even while the new drive was getting under way on the Albert Montdidier line to the north, French, American and British troops were ham, mering away between Soissons and Rheims in a way that made 1t viz tually certain the Aisne-V Vesle triangle would be cleared of the enemy shortly and the allied line here carried for ward to the Aisne or possibly across it.

 BAKER DISCLOSES PLANS
 Secretary Baker said today the new of the war department of :, 100000 men by next spring was rec commended by the military section Of the supreme war council at Versailles. From this was drawn the deduction that these highly trained military stu dents of all the allied nations and the United States, with all the facts be- fore them, have reached the conclU- sion that with such an American force coming on, the pooled resources on the western front were already suf- ficient to permit General Foch to be- gin his effort to oust the enemy and destroy his military power. It was undoubtedly on this showing that the plan suggested of redoubling tie American effort was promptly ap- proved by President Wilson, and every resource of the nation in men or money or supplies pledged to the great task.
 The decision, it already was known, was reached here late in July, after the battle to drive the Germans back from the Marne was so far progressed that a great victory was assured. Sec retary Baker said, however, that it had been under discussion for consider able time before that at Versailles. This was taken to mean that the lead- CTS at Versailles are sure of victory now on the cool basis of organized fighting power backed by limitless resources in war materials and the drive today in Picardy brings that vic- tory one step nearer.

 It is still generally believed that the Germans are making nothing more than pretense Of holding their lines here. The testimony of prisoners today con. tinues to indicate that positions beyond the Aisne have been prepared by the Germans and that the present action is to gain time and inflict as much loss as possible on the Americans and their allies.

This day was not marked by organized attacks anywhere along the front, but was punctuated by sharp minor engage ments in which the American gunners successfully covered the operations of the infantry and the engineers. Along the entire front there was evident deter the battle that began July IS has virtual ly ended or whether the Germans will withdraw beyond the Aisne are un answered questions. To the American forces, already north of the river, there was added considerable strength during the night and early morning. The line tonight is well fixed along the Rouen- Rheims road from near Bazoches, which still is ia the hands of the Germans, to a point well east of Fishes. The Ameri- cans hold Fismes apparently securely. but the village of North Fishes proved difficult and at midday was subjected to a terrific shelling by the American artil- 1ery with the intention of making it un- tenable. With that small point once cleared the line would run uninterrupted toward tEe east.
 The Germans have had strong machine gun positions in Fishes and to the north and east. It was the opposition offered by that that resulted in the American determination not to attempt occupation by the infantry. but to destroy the enemy with artillery.
 POUND AMERICAN LINE
 On the hills beyond the line at almost every available point the German light artillery has been placed. while the heavy guns are located beyond the Aisne, and guns of medium calibre are north. west of Perles, commanding the region about Bazoches. Since the fight began on the Vesle these guns have steadily pounded the American line, but tho American artillery has been equally energetic in replying. Comparatively lit tie damage has been done by the German guns, while the silencing of enemy gun
