The British and French armies con tinue to cut their way into the Ger man lines on various sectors or the lower part of the battle line in France.
 Notwithstanding the bad weather, which has caused somewhat of slackening in the violence of the op- erations, Field Marshal Haig's forces have materially encroached upon Cam brai and St. Quentin. while farther south the French armies are pressing eastward on the old Noyon sector toward La Fere and Laon and north ward from Soissons in an auxiliary manoeuvre with the same objectives in view.
 Between the Vesle and the Aisne rivers, where the American troops are fighting with the French, additional ground has been gained by the allied forces.
 The British now are standing at Villeveque, six miles from St. Quen- tin. having carried out an advance over a ten mile front on the general line of Epihy, Hesbecourt and Yer lnand. To the north the greater part of Havrincourt Wood, one of the German strong points barring the way to Cambrai, also has been captured.
 So rapid has been the British ad- vance along this portion of the front that they now are in the positions they held before the big German drive of last March. In these positions the Germans are offering stout resistance to further progress by the British.
 Gradually the French are working their way around the St. Cobain forest north of Soissons in the movement that aims at the outhanking of La

BAD WEATHER SLACKENS
 DRIVE OF ENTENTE ALLIES
British Now Are Within Six Miles of St. Quenn-Are in Positions They Held Before the Big German Drive of Last March-French Progress North of Soissons

Fere and Laon and all the German positions east of this region. They have reached the outskirts of the viii lage of Servais, on the northern edge of the forest and two and one half miles from La Fere, while short dis tance to the north they have taken the village of Nemesis on the St Quentin canal. This latter gain brings the French within little more than eight miles of St. Quentin.
 North of the Aisne near Soissons the Germans are fighting hard to keer the French in check, realizing that the gain by them of much more terri tory in this region, in conjunction with the manoeuvre that is in progress around the St. Gobain forest, will place +ihe entire German defense line east ward toward Rheims in a critical po- sition. Near Laffaux and to the north of Celles sur Aisne the Germans have delivered strong counter-a attacks, but the French everywhere have main tained their ground.
 The Germans also are reactins somewhat south of Ypres, especially in the region of Ploegsteert, where the British are threatening the recapture of Armentieres. Counter offensive manoeuvres here and east of Wul- verghem were broken up by the British.
 During the first week of September Field Marshal Haig's forces have taken more than 19.000 prisoners anG large quantities of machine guns anC quantities of stores.
 That further big events are on the program of the entente allies in the prosecution of the war is indicated by the fact that Newton D. Baker the American secretary of war, agaiI is in France for a war conference.

Germans MenaCed
 on Russian Front
Czecho-Slovaks Hold Rail- way From Olovyanna to Penza, 600 miles s. E. of Petrcgrad.

vladiscstok, Thursday, Sept. (By The Associated Press) The Japanese military staff has been informed that the Czecho- -Slovaks hold the railway from Olovyanna to Penza. !
 It is now apparent that the unex- pected climax in the Czecho- -Slovak break through was due partly to the allied advance toward Khabarovsk, which caused the transfer of large Bolsheviki force from Lake Ba:kal toward Kha barovsk, and the weakened front collapsed under the Czech pres sure from the west and General Semenoff's pressure from the east.
 The opportunity now is presented Of the allies taking advantage of the strategical points in the hands of the Czechs to move into the heart of Russia, where considerable reinforce ments from loyal Russian elements are certain, and striking a stunning blow at Germany.
 It is necessary however, to move quickly, for 1t is believed Germany will make the greatest sacrifices to hold conquered Russian territory. Olovyanna is in trans -Ga- -kalaia east of Lake Baikal, while Penza is on the railroad a little more than 600 miles southeast of Petrograd. The distance between Olevyanna and Penaz is near ly 2,000 miles.
