FIGHTING CONTINUOUS
ALL ALONG THE LINE

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Aug. 29.-American and German
troops were engaged in spirited ac-
tions today In the region of Bazoches
and Fismette. According To the latest
report the fighting continues at both
points. Tonight as a result of the To-
cal actions the Americans had made
some gains at Bazocnes while the
Germans had made some gains ar
Bazoches while the Germans had re-
captured F1smette, on the north bank
of the Vesle opposite Fismes. The
fighting has been marked by much
stubbornness.
Several days ago when the Amerf-
cans advanced in the region Bazcches
the Germans retired into a wooded
stronghold just south of the Scissors
Rheims road. Small detachments were
left In the cellars in Bazoches TO har-
rass the Americans. Tuesday the
Americans approached Bazoches from
the west and maintained their ad-
vance during the night Today the
Americans made progress toward the
town from the east and south, de-
tachment taking the eastern outskirts
this morning. Since then the Ameri-
cans have made additional progress.

Pensacola's labor situation, which
seems to be approaching a crisis as
the result Of an increasing shortage OF
men, Is being further complicated, 1t
was stated yesterday. by the operation
in the city OF another labor recruiter
who Is said to be seeking to take
workmen out OF the state.
]. w. Gurley is the name OF the re-
cruiter, 1t was learned. and it is said
that he Is busy rounding up men to
be employed In an acid plant at Bruns-
wick. Ga.
What adds to the apparent muddle
that has been prevailing here since w.
r. Moran. recruiter for an Alabama
plant, was arrested, and his bond OF
$500 forfeited, is the fact that Gurley
has q letter, signed by Walter A. Dop-
son, federal director OF labor for the
state Of Florida, authorizing him to
come to Pensacola and solicit labor.

Foch's Armies Pressing Steadily
On, Capturing Town
After Town.
BAPUAME AND
NOYON TAKEN
Haig Closing i'm Along Somme
and Tightening His Grip
on Railroads.

The Germans continue their
retreat everywhere from Arras
to scissors under the violent at
tacks of the allied troops. There
seems to be no slackening of the
offensive that is steadily re-
claiming the French towns and
villages. Instead of halting the
men for a breathing spell, Gen.
Foch seems to be pushing for
ward with greater impetus.
The retiring enemy shows no
inclination of offering battle ex-
cept with machine gunners and
infantry units acting as rear
guards to cover the retrograde
movement east.
General Haig gradually is
cutting his way north and south
Of the Somme and is overcoming
strong counter offensive actions.
Unofficial reports assert that
the British have captured
Bapaume. ~
The Germans are exerting
their utmost strength to keep
General Haig from gaining con-
troll of the railways and high
ways leading to Cambria.
Northwest of Soissons the
Americans are in line with the
French in clearing Picardy of
the enemy. On the American
sector from Chavigny to Juvigny
the enemy facing them includes
the Prussian 7th Infantry.
The situation In Eastern Siberia
seems somewhat clarified through
the disarning OF the Czecho Slovaks of
all the revolving Russian volunteers
who took sides with Gen. Horvath. the
anti-Bolsheyid leader asserting die
tatorship. The first big battle In
which the allied forces except Ameri-
cans participated occurred Saturday.
The enemy attacked but was decisive
ly beaten. At last accounts the allied
troops on the Ussuri front were stead
lily advancing.
