GERMANS IN JAWS OF
WISE AT MONTDIDIER
Not Surprised, but Defeated
Badly Just the Same

wITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE,
AUG. 10.--'rhe Germans at Montdidier
were caught between the Jaws>of a vise.
Convergins attacks from the north yes
terday and from the south this morning
had succeeded in virtually encltcling
the town. The attacks also had rem
dered useless to the Germans the Mont
didier.Chaulnes Railway. which was the
only line feeding the front at the bot
tom OF the Montdidier pocket.
The attack launched by the French
fouth of Montdidier this morning was
an exact reproduction OF the military
inaneuvre which brought about the re-
capture OF Chateau ThIerry on July 81.
Gen. Debeney struck the Germans from
Ayenoourt enthusiastically toward the
Disc and succeeded In carrying our front
TO q point three kilometers east OF Mont
older. At that time the French front
extended from Faverolles to Assam
villers. Montdldier thus was surrounded
on three sides, the west, south and east.
The booty taken during the last two
days has been 80 large that 1t has not
been possible TO make an inventory OF
II as yet. II includes an enormous NUM-
Der OF shells OF all calibres and arms OF
all descriptions.
The Srsnch have captured twenty-cne
cannon since last night, including six
inch guns, at La Melville sur Reasons
The Germans had moved the most Of
their heavy guns to the rear and de-
Tended their positions at Montdidier
principally with machine guns.
In this new battle OF the Somme the
French are showing that after four
years OF war they have lost none OF
their dash and courage, They have
also proved that the Germans are not
always able to plead surprise as an
excuse for defeat. The French sue
ceases north OF Montdidier were partly
due TO surprise. but the Germans were
aware OF the impending attack south
OF the town, They were defeated just
the same.
The French attacked this morning in
the sector east ~ Montdidier. between
Courcellea-E payelies and the Matz.
There was no artillery preparation be-
fore the attack.

The arrangement will be effective

have sent further supply Of cartons

that we have amply provided for the
needs.
Please bear in mind that this in no
way affects the other detailed in

must be inspected in exactly the same
way and the inspection labels must
be put on. We feel that it is very
important that every organization
keep record of these labels that

may be no chance of duplication OF
