ABOUT THE WAR.

The Americans made another cross
ing of the Vesle and captured the vii
lage of Fismette, northwest of Fismes.
British casualties reported in the
week ended Aug. Z totaled $3.50, COM
pared with an aggregate Of 1888 the
previous week.
German losses since July Is, the
date when the crown prince began
his last drive, were unoficially esti-
mated at from 100000 to 350,OOO, OF
which 10000 are prisoners.
The number of prisoners taken up
to Sunday in the allied offensive on
Picardy is estimated at $4,000, includ-
ing more than 1000 officers. More
than 500 guns have been captured.
Eleven German divisions were not
only defeated in the fighting of the
last three days of last week, but so
utterly crushed that the German high
er command was unable to make any
counter stroke anywhere.
The French have driven the Ger
mans before them for an important
gain east of Montdidier, in Picardy.
That city, which was the apex of the
German salient that has now been
wiped out, fell to the French first army
at midday Saturday.
Chaulnes, the important railway
town in the heart of the Somme bat
tie front and the key to the southern
line of the German salient, has been
captured by the allies. The capture
was effected by Australian and Can
adian troops.
The smoke of large fires continues
to be seen far behind the enemy's
lines, and the movement of long trans
port columns eastward is considered
evidence that it is the intention of the
enemy ultimately to retreat to new
lines OF defense.
Intensive air fighting is proceeding
over the battle line. In Fridays bat
ties thirty-nine German machines were
destroyed and twenty-five driven down
out of control. The British war Of
flee acknowledges that twenty-three
British machines are missing.
Crushed by the impact of the Brit
tsh, French and American offensive
ON the battle line from Albert, north
east of Amiens, to the Disc river,
north of Compeigne, German forces
streamed back toward the Somme
river and the Nesle-Noyon canal.
Over a curving front of more than
twenty miles the British and French
troops are continuing to sweep back
the Germans eastward across the
plains of Picardy from the region
north of the Somme, east of Morlan-
court. to the eastern bank of the Avre.

urday evening, the Navy Department
was advised Monday by the command
ant of the Sixth naval district.
If the gas attack was deliberate, as
most officials believe, it constitutes a
new and ingenious form of "frightful-
ness" and, so far as has been reported,
was the first direct effort of the Ger
man raiders to harm persons or prop
erty on American shores.

istrone, of 4,139 gross tons, and the
Swedish steamer Sydland, of 3,O31

euver which has resulted in the fur
ther outflanking of Chaulnes from the
south and of Roye from the north.
On their part, the French in the
rolling country Immediately north Of
the Disc river have captured Curry, a
position of great strategic value, ly-
ing southwest of Lassigny, and at sew
eral other points southwark to the re-
gion of the Disc have advanced their
line further toward Noyon.
In Mondays fighting hundreds of
additional Germans were made pris-
oner and the enemy also lost heavily
in men killed or wounded. Unofficial
reports give the number of Germans
captured during the present offensive
as in the neiShborhood of 100000, and
700 guns.
The Germans at last accounts were
