WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Aug. s (nighO.-The
Franco British attack in Picardy is
likely to have a big influence on the
situation along the Aisne-Vesle line.
where there has been no great change
in the past twenty-four hours.
The Americans improved their posi-
tions slightly by heavy attacks, but
for the most part were busy repuls-
ing German counter attacks. Five OF
these enemy assaults were broken up
today. Our artillery stopped the first
two. The third reached our lines but
the infantry threw them back in a
hand to hand struggle. The next two
were repulsed by rifle and machine
gun hre.
Widen BridEeheDd.
The bridgehead at Fismes was
widened during the day. The city is
now entirely cleared Of boches. who
have been hunted out OF cellars and
dugouts and captured or eXtermi-
mated.
Heavy artillery exchanges continued
throughout the day. The rains have
passed and the roads have dried out,
simplifying transportation. However,
the Germans are strongly entrenched
on the heights north Of the Nesle in
caves and deep dugouts. Our artil-
lcry will literally have TO blast the
sides off these hills before we ad-
vance.

mother"
This message was the last received
by Mrs. Fannie L. Jones, 1000 Vir-
ginia avenue southwest, mother of
Private Henry l.. Jones.
The letter, which was received by
Mrs. Jones Wednesday. gave no in
timation that the soldier expected to
be sent to the first line trenches.
the telegram which was sent her by
the War Department has not been
forwarded to her.
Mother will break down completely
when she is told this sad news of her
only son." Miss Helen Jones, a sister
of the boy, said today. I'VE want to
keep il from her as long as possible" :"
Henry l.. Jones was born in Cul-
pepper, Va, twenty-eight years ago.
When he was a small boy his mother
moved to Washington. He attended
the public schools here and several
years ago went to Oklahoma. where
he was employed as an Oil-well in
spector. While there last September
Jones entered the service. After a
short course Nof training in a Western
cantonment he was sent to France.
The letters his relatives have re-
ceived from him have all been opti-
mistic. The soldier said repeatedly
that the allies would win, because
they were fighting for the right of
mankind to exist.
I'VE must and will win" he said.
