ALLIES SMASH
25-MILE FRONT
ALLIED GAINS MADE ALL ALONG
THE BATTLE LINE.

London, Aug. 14.-The French
have gained control of the entire
Massif Of Lassigny on the southern
end of the Picardy battle front, ac-
cording to advices late today. This
gives command of the town of Las
signy and the valley of the Divette
as well as the entire district to the
north.
The evacuation of Roye is expect
ed within As hours, according to in
formation received here late today.
The fall of Lassigny, expected
hourly, probably will force the Ger
mans to retreat to the Somme canal
line-an additional retirement of five
to 10 miles all along the front, ac-
cording to information received here
late today.
The Somme bridge at Peronne has
been smashed, cutting off the enc
emy's supplies from tsat direction
and hindering the retreat.
Allied forces early today began a
general attack against the German
line running from Chaulney south to
the Disc river, a front of about 25
miles. Dispatches filed at London
shortly after noon reportde impor-
ant gains at various points, especial
ly on the vital sector of Lassigny
near the Disc. The Lassigny Massif,
the steep slope which has been
strongly defended by the Germans. is
reported to be entirely within the
grasp of the French.
Further south the French have ad-
vanced to the village of L'Econvillon,
south of the eastern extremity OF
Thiescourt wood and virtually on the
crest of the hills overlooking long
reaches of the Disc. West of Leon
villon they have made new progress
north of st. Claude farm.
AS an immediate result Of the
gains made in that sector the Ger
mans are abandoning their trenches
on the Disc west of the village OF
Bailly, east of Ribecourt. 1t is said
that the French have occupied these
positions.
If the Allies succeed in carrying
the heights south of L~assigny they
will force the enemy to retire from
the Roye district as they will have
the Roye-Noyon road under their fire
and will dominate tn ewhole region
with their artillery.
The advance reported during the
last few hours, If continued, prob
ably would have an effect on the
German positions in the Ourscamp
and Carlepont forests, east of the
Oise. If the Germans are o~utflanked
by the Allied movements, a retire.
ment from that district would be
probable and Tits would necessitate
a relocation of tl.e line running from
the Disc and the Aisne at scissors
Thus the attack launched today
would appear to have a direct rela'
ton to the BATTLE being fought along
the Aisne and Vesle by the Allies.

today.

is our patriotic duty to make use of

that when they are needed for the ham

not be a demand for them, to any

F. R. Gooding, ex-governor of Idaho

executive ability to the fuel admin

by all who need fuel for next winter
His letter follows:
GOODING-Let us not forget in this
great struggle for liberty that victor

alone Back Of the armies there must
be thorough organization of all the
people until the efforts of this mighty
nation function and vibrate together
like one great machine. No American
citizen has done enough when he buys
Liberty bonds or thrift stamps alone.
He must do everything that is posi-
BILE for him to do that his country

Your government at this time is ask
ing you, if you are financially able to
do so, to store coal in sufficient quaint
ity to supply your wants for a whole
year. You are asked to. store coal
because at this time of year there is
less use for railroad equipment,
freight cars and locomotives than dur
ing any other period of the year. You
have heard much about coal shortage
in the past. Let me say to you there
never has been coal. shortage in
America. There has been car short
age, and shortage of motive power |
that has been responsible for the
shortage of coal, not only in Idaho
from time to time, but in every other
state in the Union.
Your government is asking you to
store coal between now and the first OF
