WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
1.-THE FIELD. Aug. IL: (2:45 A. M
Won der Marwttz and Won Hutier are
trying desperately to stiffen the re-
sistance of their armies. whose bases
are now almost right against the
Somme. The Allies are now advanc-
ing slowly but steadily, their guns
commanding not only Roye, Chaulnes.
Nesle and Peronne. but the Somme
crossings everywhere.
Immense quantities of German ma
terial are still west of the river. Pris-
oners from divisions just arrived in
the line declare they were ordered to
| hold at whatever cost.
Some of the bridges have been de-
stroyed and the Allied guns are de-
molishing them as fast as they are
I repaired. Captured German officers
/ admit there is considerable disorder
behind the lines. the officers them
selves knowing little of what is trans
pirtng. They were thrown into GER
tain positions and merely told to
stay.
Won Ludendorff is obviously trying
to gain time to bring up more reserves,
| possibly TO permit withdrawal OF his
heavy artillery and stores to the right
OF the Somme.
The Americans are with the British
before Bray. as this is written. South
| of the Somme the Australians are
pushing on slowly despite steadily In
creasing opposition. The Somme
makes a horseshoe bend east of them
and the sluggish stream is parallelled
by q canal flowing through a broad,
salt marsh. II Is difficult to cross by
buiit--up roads and bridges which
have been rendered dangerous by Al
lied iong-range artillery and air
bombs. Unless Won der MarwitK's
army is able to make a stand the sit
kuation may become critical. It is not
surprising therefore that the Ger
mans are massing beyond Proyart.

BURNING Water.

Particularly pat, ut time when the
shortage OF coal has required many
emergency regulations OF business. Is
the announcement that n chemist has
found way In which II will. II In
claimed. be commercially profitable TO
use water as fuel. A man who saw the
process exemplhed describes II to the
Christian Science Monitor In these
words: II have seen water burning, |
have seen water streaming into flame
of blazing oil. and. instead ~ putting
out the fire. II made the flame rear up
ward and develop n temperature OF
1000 degrees Fahrenheit, enough to
melt copper" II should he said that
the water alone will not burn now any
more than In the past. but, combined
with equal parts Of any oil that VIII
flow freely. II becomes excellent fuel.
This Is the way the observer explains
the process technically: "The combus-
ton Of water Is based upon the fact
that when n fine stream Of water is put
through nm Intensely hot metal coll. II
is not only turned into vapor, but the
water molecules nre split up into their
constituent elements, oxygen and hy-
drogen."
