A director OF the Steel Corporation Is

100000 Prisoners Taken

Paris, Aug. IL. Nearly 100000
prisoners and 700 guns have been
taken by the allies in Picardy, accord
ing to reliable reports here. &,
Paris reports unofficially that 4O,-
900 prisoners have been taken since
Thursday morning. This brings the
total number of Germans captured in
Marshal Foch's two great drives up
to $4,000. The number of guns so
far taken by the allies in the two
offensives totals almost 1,400.
Heavy counter attacks are being
made by the Germans against the
British front from east of Morlan-
court to the vicinity of Lihons, west
of Chaulnes. Field Marshal Haig's
men apparently have made little
progress in the past "a hours, but
their pressure has not slackened.

War Review
FOCH STRIKES NEW BLOW
Friday. Aug. 8


Giving the Germans no time to
catch their breath after their crush
ing defeat on the Aisne-Marne front,
Marshal Foch has launched fresh
attack against them in new sector.
The attack started at dawn this
morning on wide front in Picarly,
east and southeast of Amiens. The
French first army and the British
fourth army are engaged in this new
offensive, which is under the imme-
date direction of Field Marshal Haig,
the British commander-in-chief.
Both the Paris and London official
statements announce the opening of
the attack and report satisfactory
progress in its early stages.
Pressing the advantage already
gained in Picardy the British and
French troops in smashing attacks
are forcing the Germans back toward
the important Peronne- Roye road. The
advance Thursday was probably the
greatest in territorial extent by the
allies in one day since 1916.
Amiens, as result of the fighting
up to the present, has been almost en-
tirely relieved of the German menace
and even. the German artillery will
have difficulty in reaching it. The
important railway running north from
Paris through Amiens and paralleling
the allied battlefront can now be used
again after being under the fire OF
German guns for four months.
Ten thousand prisoners have been
taken, according to unofficial reports
reaching Paris. The allied losses thus
far have been slight and the Ger
mans have been slow and weak in
counter attacking. The greatest enemy
defensive asset-machine gun nests
-appears to have been very well
squelched by the British tanks which
swarmed through the German lines.
Saturday, Aug. 10
! On the main positions east OF
Amiens shattered by the Franco-Brit-
ish thrust, the Germans continue to
retreat with the allies in close pur-
suit. The enemy resistance on the
extremities of the attacking front has
been broken and latest reports from
the battlefront say the enemy is re-
firing in great haste. Aerial observers
say the Germans are in full retreat
eastward across the Picards plains
toward the old Hindenburg line. Ger
man ammunition dumps are being
blown up.
Capture Entire Trains
That the Germans were surprised
by Marshal's Foch's new maneuver
becomes increasingly more evident.
Much material and supplies were left
behind and even entire railroad trains !

CONTRACT LET
FOR SOUTH JETTY

The Ports of Toledo and New

posals for furnishing materials
needed and for the construction
of the south jetty. 1t was found
that the bid of the Miamai Quar-

est and best offer on materials
and on the job complete, so the
contract was awarded them for
the building of the South Jetty
complete, at the contract price
of $393,000. The Ports have a
concession on the contract with
regard to the rails used which
will save them about $4,000
from the contract price.

Berry who is the man at the
head of the Miamai Quarry Co.,
came up to Toledo this morning
and went out into the timber.
