With the American Army in France.
The allies are still forging forward,
smashing the German lines.
Field Marshal Haig's troops Sunday
night smashed into the German lines
at four different points on the battle
front. The Flanders battle still con-
tinues, with the British making steady
gains.
American troops made two success
full raids on the German lines north
east Of st. Mihlel early Sunday morn
Haumont and southeast of Charey.
Both raids were preceded by bar
RACES.
General Allenby's forces in Pales-
tine have taken $4,000 Turkish pris-
ones and have captured 12O guns, be-
sides four airplanes and a large guam
tity of uncounted transport.
This means the virtual annihilatiOn
OF the Ottoman forces In this region.
The British losses were surprisingly
slight, considering the Importance Of
the advance.
During the past week gains have
been made by the allied troops on the
fronts in France, in Macedonia and in
Palestine, while there has been some
activity in Italy. The Americans,
after clearing the St. Mihiel salient
OF German troops, advanced to
within ten miles of the outer forts
of Metz. They have withstood all
counter-attacks and are continually
harassing the enemy in the Lorraine
sector. Heavy transforms have inter
fered with the work of the airmen to
some extent, but the bombing planes
went over the enemy lines as usual
and succeeded in doing great dam
age. When the Americans halted be-
fore the defenses of Metz the French
began a new offensive on the Ailette
and Aisne rivers, and the Americans
advanced In the Moselle sector, both
movements being entirely successful,
many prisoners and guns being cap
tured, while the Germans were again
forced to retreat
While the Huns were being attacked
from time to time by the Americans
and French, the British troops have
done much of the fighting during the
week, and desperate battle for pos
session of st. Quentin Is now raging.
In Macedonia the French and Ser
bians have defeated the BuIgarians
Austrians and Germans and advanced
their line several miles. Several
thousand prisoners were captured
during the fighting on this front. The
British and Greeks were also success
full in a local attack.
1t may be truthfully said that the
kaiser has not taken single trick
in the war game during the entire
week. The U-boats have succeeded
in sinking two or three British and
French vessels, and two or three hun

to that effect having been issued by
the high command. In the large

Of defeats, and it has been announced
that in future the Germans will ac1
