have advanced to an average
depth of about, 2La miles and cap

London, Aug. 21.-From scissors to
the Belgian border the German armies
in various sectors are being put to the
test by the French and British and 1t is
q test that seemingly BODIES i'll for the
Teutonic arms, for nowhere have they
been able to sustain the shocks.
Northwest of SCISSORS, from the
Aisne to the Disc, north of the Disc
to the region around Roye; in the
Arras sector and northward on the
famous Lys salient the Germans
everywhere have been compelled to
fall back under the pressure of the
French and British troops.
In new offensive launched by the
French General Mangin over front
of approximately 152 miles, from
Bailly on the Disc to the Aisne near
Scissors, the French in bitter fighting
have carried forward their line to an
average depth of two and half miles
and in the first phases of the battle
had turned to French possession nu-
merous enemy-held villages and farms.
In addition more than 5000 Germans
had been herded behind the line .pris-
oners.
London, Aug. 21.-According to re-
ports reaching here, German forces
holding the. vital sector of the battle
front between the Aisne and Disc
rivers were hurled back over a 10
mile front by the French. It Is
stated that the French have penetrated
the enemy positions to depth of two
miles.
This attack, which is continue
ton of the assault made northwest Of
scissors, is said to endanger the Ger
man positions at scissors and on the
Aisne. It is added that the French
success probably will be followed by a
German retirement from SCISSORS to
the Chemin des Danes.
Quick Retreat Indicated.
No details of the lighting are as yet
available, but an advance Of two miles
in this sector would seem to place the
Germans, both along the Aisne and be-
fore Noyon, In q serious position from
which only an Immediate retreat would
seem to be possible.
Unofficial dispatches also state that
significant local successes have been
achieved by the French from the Disc
northward to well past Roye. The line,
as it is traced in dispatches, seems to
be very close to the important town
OF Lassigny for which the French have
been fighting for the last week or
more.
Allies on Three Sides of Roye.
The Germans hold on Roye also
seems to be weakened by the recent
progress Of the French north and south
of the town. It would appear that
Roye now is virtually enveloped on
three sides.
Just northwest of scissors the
French have occupied the village OF
Vassens, which is on the eastward
bank Of q small stream which flows
into the Osier at Morsain, town to
the southeast, which was captured by
The French yesterday.

TWO LETTERS
FROM THE FRONT

Below We give extracts from twl
letters sent home by two nephews o
Mrs. C. A. Waterfeld, Texas boys, an,
brothers, who, with a third brothe
have been in France since shortly af
ter our country became involved il
war. The first extract is from a let
ter from Lieut.. Ashton Hawkins, u S
N. naval aviator or duty involving fire
quent flights from the waters includ
co in Kaiser Williams barred zone.
He writes:
Il had bad crash out at sea about
three weeks ago-never expected tC
get out of it. A forced landing in q
big sea, and my machine broke square
in two as | was getting of. It filed
in moment and then caught fire. -Four
of US were in the water three hours,
clinging to the little bit that didn't
burn. We couldn't have possibly last
ed another hour, for the sea was bat
tering up our wreck and the engine
would soon have dragged us under.
Another plane happened to find US and
got some trawlers to US. I've never
been so cold in my life. | can never
describe the alternate bliss and despair
of seeing that machine in the distance,
getting nearer and then farther away
before he saw US. We couldn't have
had a much closer call. The propellers
were going full speed when we crash
ed and one of them came down just
back of my head. / was half in the
water and it nearly touched me before
it stopped.
"The experience hasn't bothered me
any. I've been out twice for all night
trips since then. The last time-about
three days ago-l was up about TO-
900 feet after some that came
over seven hours, but didn't have any
over seven hurs, but didn't have any
luck. 1t was raining and blowing half
a gale down below, but it was still and
cold up there under the stars. When
it got light we couldn't see anything
but continents of white clouds under
US, and we didn't have the faintest
idea where we were The wind is gen
orally very strong up there and we
couldn't get its force or direction, so
we might have been half way across
England or half way across the North
Seattle latter being more nearly true
for we came down through the clouds
and found the sea, and a fresh east
wind. We hit dead on a little harbor
in a dense fog with only fifteen min
utes of petrol left, sort of lucky. The
harbor is $50 miles above here, so you
see how we drifted; for we navigated
so that with no wind we would have
been here at dawn.

boat that ever flew, burned up that
night in the hangar. / nearly wept
