meeting with resistance from the Ger

the war office today. 1t is declared
that there is nothing Of importance to
report from the battle front.
The allied pursuit Of the Germans
continues, and latest reports are that
only a few enemy troops remain south
of the River vesle. says the Havas
Agency today in reviewing the situa-
tion. French patrols have crossed the

and east of Fismes, respectively.

Allied troops hold the entire south
ern bank of the Vesle between Ffsmes
and Rheims. Stubborn resistance was
made by Prussian and Bavarian guards
between Muizon and Champigny, but
they were forced back. suffering heavy
losses. Both banks Of the vesle now
are under heavy artillery fire from the
opposing armies.

HUNS AGAIN SMELLING
PARIS AT LONG RANGE
By the Associated Press.
PARIS, August 5.-The long range
bombardment Of the Paris region was
resumed this morning.

In more than one instance duFihs
the last few months the opening of
a renewed period of long range she'll
ing of Pa is has been the signal for
German offensive movement. The
original bombardment began March
%, just as the first German offensive
in Picardy was getting into swing.
Likewise the start Of the recent Of
fensive on the Marne front was ac.
companied by a resumption Of the
shelling Of Paris beginning July is,
after an interval Of more than a
month. The firing ceased the day fol-
lowing and was mot resumed until to-
day.
Meanwhile the advancing allies on
the Aisne-Marne front had uncovered
two emplacements for the long range
weapons. Whether these empIace-
ments had ever been used is q matter
Of doubt. At any rate. the guns were
not there when the allies arrived. 1t
seems not improbable that il they
had been transferred to the Marne
salient or were on their way there
they have now been removed to their
original location, in the forest Of ST.
Gobain, near Laen, whore they are
safe from any Immediate advance by
the allies.

French Forces Across Vesle
Meet With Hun Resistance

leading north.
The question is being asked in Paris
whether the German withdrawal
north and south of the Somme after
that from the Marne does not indicate
q change in German tactics in order
to obtain electives for q new offsn-
sive elsewhere. 1t is also asked IL
the retrograde movement will not re-
suit in an extensive withdrawal SINH
lar to that from the Somme in March,
1917.
Captures to Thrill Allies.
PARIS. August 4.-Allied forces in
pursuit Of the Germans have passed
through veritable charnel houseA
strewn with the debris of war. Bodies
of men and horses are mingled with
broken-down vehicles alongside Of
monster ammunition dumps, some
partially exploded and others intact.
Bodies of Germans found in clusters
beyond the range Of the allied ar
tillery indicate that severe punish
ment was inflicted on the fleeing col
umns by, the. French. American and
British aviators.
The number Of prisoners captured
by the allies during the last two days
nounced. The Vesle river, which Was
flooded owing to the recent heavy
rains. has hampered the German rear
guards. which were unable to ford
the stream and had to tight for their
lives. The most Of these Germans
were killed and the rest were made
prisoners.
Evening star., 1918-08-05

Resistance Growing Stronger.
Enemy resistance apparently has
been growing stnoAGer from .Fismes
east to Rheirtas. However. the vesle
is in flood, and as large swamps line
its course west Of Rheims, It is pos
sible the resistance may be due to
the inability of the Germans to move
to the north bank.
Allied troops, having nattened out
the Marne pocket, have not advanced
SO rapidly during the last forty-eight
hours. The leading units keep in
close touch with the Germans. but it
is probable that heavy artillery will
have to be brought up il the Germans
persist in trying to hold at various
points along the Vesle.
There is little doubt in allied cap
itals that the German crown prince
will retire to the north Of the Aisne.
His resistance to French pressure in
the Rheims region not unlikely Is for
the purpose Of holding the allies from
breaking through and also to prevent
them from getting between the Vesle
and the Aisne before he can get his
troops to the northern stream.
Chemin-des-Dames Not Impregnable
The heights of the Chemin-des-
Danes offer the most suitable de-
fensive position. but even this would
be precarious If the French can ad-
vance north of the Aisne in the
Soissons region.
This would also threaten seriously

they have been engaged since July Is.
when the German offensive was
launched and halted at the, Marne.
are now being reported in the daily
lists from Gen. Pershing. though no
estimate of the total has yet been
received.
The list as published in The Star
today includes the Army and Marine
Corps lists issued by the War De-
partment yesterday and today.
Today's Army list contained 4o7
names. the largest number reported
in a single day. OF the men named.
203 were killed in action. 81 died of
wounds and 148 were wounded, 48
seriously and 100 degree undetermin-

only three. In addition to the Army
list, the marines lists today con-
tanned ten names, nine killed in ac-
tion and one died Of wounds.
Men from forty-six states were
named in the lists, with no predomi-
mating number from any one state.
This was taken to indicate that the
casualties were scattered through
many units. The states not repre-

Few Of the Wounded Die.
A state ment issued on authority Of
the general star Of the War Depart
ment follows:
TN connection with the casualties
among the American expedftionary
forces in the Marne-Aisr1e offensive, It
should be stated upon the basis of
the officially attested experience of
our associates during four years of
this war that of wounded soldiers sent
to hospitals 1or treatment feWer than
one in twenty die.
"of all the soldiers sent to the hos.
pitfalls only forty-6ve in evry 1000
die. These include those who die of
disease as well as those who die of
wounds.
"Of all soldiers wounded in action
more than four r-f1fths return to serv-
ice, many Of them in less than two
months. It is necessary to discharge
for physical disability only 14.5 per
cent
These figures are based on an aver
age of both British and French Off
cia1 figures. including both officers
and men,. The two are averaged to-
gether, since American troops are
fighting with both the French and the
British under conditions which vary.
They show:
Returned to service. 81 per cent. or
80 per thousand.
Ig DISCHARGED from service because
of physical disability or other causes,
14.5 per cent. or 145 per Thousand.
Died from wounds. As. or forty

The movement to the eastern banks
Of the Ancre and Avre are both de-

large, but would have served as
jumping or places in future opera
tions.
The allies now control the heights

Americas Program Will Go
Forward With Same
Speed and Energy.
UNIVERSAL TRAINING IDEA
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

fcopyprixht, 1918, by the New York Evening
Post CO..
I'VE mustn't grow overconfident.
but should go ahead with the same
speed and energy as we did before
things began to look SO well on the
western front" That epitomizes the
sentiment in the National Capital to-
day.
Government officials made that COM
ment in one form or another as they,
exchanged thoughts on the remark
able success of American operations
abroad An undercurrent Of elation is
noticeable, to be sure. but 1t hasn't
meant relaxation and will not, for
there have been too many ups and
downs in the war thus far to make
any one, particularly military men,
feel certain of anything.
Work With Enthusiasm.
It is one thing to work in the face
of an onrushing German army taking
town after town, as happened in the
March offensive, when Washington
quivered with anxiety. and it is an
other to look the facts cheerfully in
the face and know that every ounce
Of energy will help bring the war to
a triumphant ending. So it may be
said that plans to carry forward
Americas program and make the sue
'ceeding steps even more telling than
those that have preceded are being
drawn and executed with a spirit Of
enthusiasm that Is half the battle
itself.
For instance, the Secretary of War
has announced that the draft limits
10 be recommended to Congress- will
while here and there talk of opposi-
tion is heard, it would not be a bit
surprising il the bill goes through
both houses almost unanimously.
Congress was ready to extend the
draft limits before 1t began the pres
pect that American aid will bring an
early conclusion to the war If brought
up in ever-increasing quantities and
with the maximum effort constantly
applied, no man in Congress who
voted for the original selective serv-
ice act will dare to oppose the new
recommendations. Many a man who
failed to vote for the original act of

exceeding $350.000, after, the follow
