leans are on the narrow front north o.
the Somme.
The new attack by the French has
extended the battleline some sixteen
miles further to the southeast in the
Montdidier area. In this movement
the French scored an advance of four
miles in six hours.
Haig Hits at Both Ends
Having made good his advance in the
centre, Field Marshal Hafg took steps
yesterday to break down the German
resistance at both ends Of the encmy's
line-in the angle between the Somme
and the Ancre and at Montdider, where
the offensive had met with the most
stubborn resistance.
Before evening these operations had
achieved a considerable success The
British, with American reinforcements,
captured Morlancourt and the heights
to the southeast. This advance, to-
gether with the fact that the Austral-
ians and Canadians were in Proyart,
three miles southeast Of Chipilly, was
calculated to loosen the German hold
on Chipilly, and later advices showed
it was again in Allied hands
The opinion in London to-day was
that the enemy could not now possibly
hold any sort of line until he reached
the Somme and the canal from Nesle
to Noyon. That would make a maxi
mum retreat Of twenty miles.
One important result has already
followed the Allied plunge in the
Somme region, east of Amiens. The
important Paris Amiens Railway, by
way of st. Just, use of which had been
man line, was working again last night.

cordance with the Allied plan of
operations, on our right by the
French First Army south of Mont

Enveloped from the north and from
the southeast, Montdidier fell into
the hands Of the French before mid
day, together with many prisoners
and great quantities of material.
LONDON DAY.-Yesterda after
noon and evening the advance of
the Allied armies continued on the
whole front. from south of Mont

British Amazed
And Grafifed by
Great Advance

LONDON, Aug 10. Surprise is
notably mingled with qualification in
the comment of the morning news
papers on the continued advance of the
Anglo-French forces in the Somme
region.
No offensive in which the British
army has participated. it is remarked,
ever made so much progress on the
opening day, and although the advance
was slower on Friday, this, it is con-
tended, was only to be expected.
The full story of Fridays operations
apparently has not yet been told, as
bad visibility made it difficult to obtain
early news from the fighting front. The
employment of large number of light,
fast tanks - the "whippets" . with
strong forces Of cavalry. is regarded as
giving entry to new feature of battle.
The military correspondent of THE
Times" referring to the remarkable
speed developed by the "whippets" in
keeping pace with the cavalry, foresces
future when every heavy infantryman
viii have a small, light tank. while
swarms Of airmen will take the place
OF the cavalry and light infantry.
The extraordinary employment of air
craft in pursuit of the enemy~is also
remarked. The service they rendered
obviously was of the utmost military
value, which it is hoped is not out of
proportion to the losses. The number
Of alrmen officially reported not re-
turned reached the high figure of fifty.
| his was mostly due to fire from the
ground. and is comprehensive in view
of the fact that they flew at height of
only few hundred feet, bombing
trains, railway functions and bridges.
The enemy's losses in the air were
1orty-eight machines destroyed and
seventeen brought down out Of control

Lessigny and thence northward to
Roye.
These trenches are now somewhat
dilapidated.
Must Lose Former Gains
Further eastward, before the Hin
denburg line is reached, are several
streams and the northern canal, where
delaying actions might be fought. For
the present, however, it seems that
the Germans will be compelled to re-
tire from the whole territory which
they gained at such q great cost in
their March offensive.
Several newspapers hint to-day that
the official statements issued by the
War Office are purposely rcticent and
that interesting news might be made
public if the War Office chose. They
say that the number of prisoners is
actually far above the figure authorize
lively announced.
French and British light troops, pa.
trolls and armored cars are operating
far beyond the points mentioned in the
official statements. The infantry il
following these forces untiringly and
in sufficient masses to crush all at
temrts made by the enemy to counter
attack
1t is pointed out that the majority
Of the prisoners so far taken are
rather old, which, the newspapers say
shows that secondary divisions were
holding the line. The number Of Off
GERS is large, while fully one-half OF
the guns behind the German lines have
been captured.

Aside from the direct military re-
suits, the effect of the Allied offensive
movements on the morale of both the
French army and the civilian popula-
ton cannot be underestimated.
An Associated Press spondent
has just concluded a trip from the Vos-
ges to scissors. He found wonderful
reaction behind the lines. The urban
and rural populations display a re-
newed spirit of confidence. Already in
the battle region the farmers are re-
turning to gather the harvest left
standing. and the villagers are making
their way back to what remains Of their
homes.
In the towns the stores and inns arc
reopening, and Paris looks upon the
mutterings of "Big Bertha" as the last
splteful effort of an exasperated en-
envy.

ChauInes Is key Town

The newspaper comment upon the
stubborn resistance the Germans are
making on both wings of the salient
and the narrowness of this bulge are re-
marked as disadvantage which it is
hoped will be rectifed by its enlarge
ment through future operations.
A further success for the Allies is
regarded as depending to large extent
upon the fate of the important railway
sowh OF Chaulnes. Should Cbaulnes
FALL says The Times" very large re-
suits may follow.

while that delivered against the Sois-
sons Rheims sector is classed as the
second phase.
1t came after the first blow, which
brought the enemy into the Amiens re-
gion, temporarily forcing the British
back from long occupied terrain.
Reviewing these four months of bat
tie the Allies may feel content. The
German objective now is clear. HIS
strategy has followed the obvious
course. In March his purpose was two
fold-first, to cut the northern rail com
second, to establish western jaw in
the Champagne SCISSORS Rheims vicin-
ity, and close slowly on Paris.
Amiens Enemy's One Success
His one success was toward Amiens
The last forty-eight hours proved
that that was but temporary, as time
counts in this war. Elsewhere the en-
envy not only has failed, but he has met
with reverses.
In the Soissons-Rheims and Cham
payne operations the enemy sought to
and by dominating the Champagne
heights to force himself in between
Paris and Verdun, and at the same time
open direct southern route to the cap
ltal. He met with a resistance which
in both physical and moral aspects he
apparently was not prepared for.
His quick recoil in the Scissors
Rheims sector after the Franco meri-
can counter offensive, later splendidly
supported by quickly moving British
units, is regarded by the military
authorities here as demonstrating not
only the superior intelligence service
of the Allies, but the enemys under
estimation of his opponents.
AT the same time the stubborn Ger
man retreating action in this salient
shows that his own army morale is far
from being demoralizcd.
Exacted His Price
French, American and British troops
who fought the enemy in the last two
weeks over the bitterly contested
ground from the Marine to the Veslc
give testimony not only to his valor,
but also to his strategy. He had pre-
pared for victory, but had not neglected
the possibility of defeat, and compelled
the Allies to pay commensurate price
for their gains.
Day by day dispatches have told the
story of the hard fighting in this hill
and valley region, where belts of forest
crown wheat fields and hills slope to
creeks and ravines. There were roads
embankments and natural defence,
everywhere, making perfect fighting
ground, and every village was fought
for
The salvage dumps accumulating be-
hind the Allied lines testify to the size
OF the enemy effort and the greatness
OF his hopes, but extensive ms they are
they do not amount to fraction of
that he destroyed during the slow move
backward toward the Aisne.
Russian Material Found
In this fighting the Allies felt the
first physical effect of the downfall Of
Russia. Much of the war material
which has fallen into Allied hands was
that supplied to Russia by the Allies in
happier days. Officers who inspected
the dead and questioned the prisoners
say that the German clnthng was Of
good quality, that the arms were in cx
cellent condition and that the rations

MODERN INDUSTRIAL

East and West, North and South, as far as the globe is humanly ha- bitable, extends the conquest of mo- dern industrial development. The remotest regions are penetrated and the most ancient nations are awak- ened to the new life.
 One after another the nations of the far East, so long dormant un- der the influence of Oriental civili- zation, are being industrialized and taking their places in the interna- tional procession of modern deve- lopment.
 The transformation of Japan into modern industrial nation in the short space of a single generation is one of the marvels of our age Eugene Brieux, tho French writer, has paid a recent visit to Japan and in writing of what he saw there he says; Industrial develop ment here, as elsewhere, has creat- cd socialism,, and misery has given birth to revolt"

Getting wealth and earning wealth are two different and near ly opposite things. Labor has pro- duced all wealth. The capitalist crowd has a great deal of wealth that they could not have earned in a thousand years of incessant toil.
