With the British Army in France,
Ground gained by the allied armies
in the second battle of the Somme is
being held by them everywhere, al
though they have been pausing for
more than twenty-four hours.
The harassed and disorganized
forces Of the enemy have launched
several counter attacks, it is true,
but none of them have carried the
Germans anywhere.
Strong enemy concentrations have
been reported between Roye and Fou-
quescourt, but so far they have done
nothing, if really they are there for
an offensive purpose. In the northern
battle area, especially in the Bray re-
gion, new enemy defensive barbed
wire has been found, while earthworks
are being constructed at several
places behind the German line Prob
ably the enemy has removed much of
his material and has sent in nearly
all the reinforcements he cares to risk
at the present time.
MCe ncourt is being heavily shell
ed, while the enemy, with aerial bombs
has apparently attempted to blow up
the ammunition dumps he left in his
hurry to get away. British and French
guns have been busy pounding German
rear areas and the crossings over the
Somme.
Enemy shells that are coming in
are being fired at an extreme range,
probably from well on the other side
of the Somme. This is especially true
of shells aimed at the districts south
of the Amiens-Nesle road.

Torpedo TurHs After Miss and Hits.

WaShin. on. Aug. lin Il report
to the navy department on the sink
ing of the SommcrStad. the vessel :;
captain says he saw the wake OF ii
torpedo and reversed his engines.
The torpedo passed under the bow
of the vessel. which was drawing only
seven feet of water Full speed ahead
was then ordered. but the torpedo
turned sharply to the left and return
ed hitting the vessel between the third
and fourth holds on the port side.
The force of the explosion tore a
great hole in the side of the ship and
in five minutes the whole deck amid
ships was awaSh. The crew succeeded
in launching two boats and got away
in safety.
The sailors saw the vessel g" down
stern first and finally stand almost
upright in the water, about fourteen
feet of the bow being visible. The
men made for Sandy Hook and sight
ed Il patrol boat ten hours later.
The submarine showed only its
distance. standing some six feet out
of water and moving rapidly.
Naval officials believe This is the
same raider that accounted for the
British steamship PenistOne, the
Swedish steamship Sydland and some
dozen fishing boats on the Massachu-
sets coast.

Poilus First Army Alone Capture
$4,000 Germans and 600 Guns in
Picardy.

London, Aug. 13.-The French first
army, cooperating with the British
fourth army, has taken $4,000 prison
ers, including 800 officers.
Six hundred guns also have been
captured, as well as thousands of ma
chine guns, many trench mortars and
three trains.
Those captures, made since the al.
lied Picardy offensive began on Aug
uSt s, were officially announced by
Field Marshal Haig in his report.
The French have gained control of
the entire massif (plateau) of Lassig
ny on the southern end of the Picar-
dy battlefront. This gives command
of the town of Lassigny and the val
ley of the Divette, as we'll as the en-
tire district to the north.
The capture of the massif by the
French must inevitably have the most
serious effect on the German positions
over wide area and this effect should
begin TO show within forty-eight hours.
The massif was the hinge of the old
German positions in the whole angle
in the NoyOn region and now that this
hinge has burst the entire angle must
yield to the relentless allied pressure
In the opinion of experts the evacu
alton of Roye may be expected within
a day or two, for the town is now
under crossfire The abandonment
of Roye by the Germans would also
make Chaulnes difficult to hold. This
recent history on the Marine is counted
upon to repeat itself on this new front.
If the German line does not fall
back after the manner it did on the
Marine, with the expected fall of Rove
and Chaulines, it could hold out only
under conditions of the greatest diff
Guilty and at tremendous cost.
The French gains ON the Lassigny
massif already have forced the Ger
mans to evacuate long line of trench
es in the valley of the Disc, and are
calculated to force further excavations
