succession Of vigorous attacks
These attacks, however, cannot lead
to victory unless we adhere and inn
prove on the methods of warfare
adopted in the recent offensives."
The order then goes on to say that
everywhere under the well tried
principles. of the manual of infantry
training in war and the additions
made by the high command, namely,
Won Hindenburg and Ludendorff,
success had been gained at small
cost. 1t cites as an example the OPP
erations southwest of Noyon from
June 9 onward. iii ..ne '..--..-, =
Not only Is there a probability Of
obtaining other successes by these
methods, but also the situation with
regard to reinforcenents conlpels us
to perfect them still further the
order says.
Divisions must do their utmost to
reduce casualty to the absolute
minimum by distribution in depth
and the creation Of extended out
post zones" ~
Notwithstanding instructions"
the order points out, "too much at
tention still is paid to the possession
Of ground, the holding or retaking Of
portions Of trenches, villages and
woods, and to the fighting tor points
whose only value is that Of prestige.
Now, more than ever, divisions in
the line during hostile attacks, large
or small; must if possible employ
elastic avoidance even on so-called
unhealthy fronts"
The order is frank in explaining
that, because of the reduced German
strength, it frequently will be i'm
possible to hold continuous trench
lines and recommends instead the
creation Of centers Of resistance.
The document warns commanders
that should the enemy obtain a foot,
hold within the German lines they
must consider whether a counter
attack is necessary worth the sum
of lives,
b The value that the Germans plac-
ed on ground they have lost is seen in
a captured order signed by Gen. Won
Hutier, drawing attention to the diff
hculties in Germany's economic stu
alton and calling on his troops to as
sist in affording all possible relief in
regard to food supplies. The order is
dated before the opening Of the pres
ent offensive by the allies and begins
by ruling that not a scrap Of food or
forage, beyond ration limitations,
shall be consumed.
The document admits that the ra-
lions are lacking in variety and calls
on the troops to exploit the occupied
territory and thereby relieve the
homeland from sending us supplies"
It warns the commanders to pay no
attention to demands Of their men for
more or better" rations, adding the.
intelligence of the soldier must be
aroused BY the words and example
of their leaders to understand the re-
strictions and the self-denial neces-
sary to bring the war to a victorious
end bring about German peace"
The order says: Nov and during
the coming weeks the crops on the
territory occupied and conquered
must be harvested. Vast stretches Of
land and huge fields under good Gull
tivation promise us a rich harvest"
The units that were resting we're to
have robbed the lands Of crops
planted by the French peasants.

Amsterdafn Alfg l4.-The Ger

dispatch Berlin Forwarded here,
presents the following account of
British pefations during the third
day OF the offensive in Pfeardy:
ON the third day DC the offensive,
during a British attack north of the
Somme on both sides Of the Roman
highway, British attacks were
caught from the north in thanking
fire of shrapneI from German bat
terrier on tie height east of Albert,
while from 8he south of this position

Victories Significant.

With The French Army In France,
Aug. 14.-After the battle of the
AVre the situation Of the belligerents
presents a change which for rapidity
and extent has rarely been approach
ed in military history. Marshal
Foch's strategy and the mastery
tactics Of the generals commanding
the armies and groups of armies I'M
der him have in three weeks Wrested
from the Germans what required
four months for them to obtain at a
cost Variously estimated at from
100000 to 100000 men.
The immediate results of the coun-
ter offensiVes which will have the
greatest bearing on subsequent OPP
erations are the clearing of the
Chateau Thierry pockeS ending the
menace to Epernay and Paris; the
liberation Of Montdidier, ending the
menace to Amiens; the freeing of
the important eastern railroad line
from Paris to Chalons and the
equally important northern line from
Paris to Amiens, restoring to the
allies means Of communication
which give them enormously greater
ease IN future movements Of troops.
These successes render impossible
any rupture of the line which would
separate the French armies Of the
center from those to the east, or a
rupture Of the junction between the
French and British. The most dis
astrous consequence to the Germans,
aside from the heavy losses they
sustained in men and materials, is
the collapse of their plan, to drive
wedges into the allied lines and the
subsequent widening and joining
which would have threatened gen
eral dislocation.
Marshal FocI1's strategy in re-
ductng the salient wedges, wrested
the initiative in operations from the
Germans, at once obliging them eth
er to order a general retreat to a
strong line such as the Somme, or
to engage reserves. The enemy
adopted the second alternative,
which, having failed, makes eventual
retirement immensely more diff
ticult
The disaster which menaced Gen.
Won Hutier's army has been averted
for the moment. The few narrow
passages which now are open for
the withdrawal of his stores are so
harassed by the bombs Of aviators
and the fire Of heavy artillery that
prompt escape is impossible, render
ing probable desperate effort by
the Germans to cling to their 1915
line.

With the Canadian Forces in Pic

100 Germans. In a dense fog the

A corporal in the path gave the order
to fire. This show Of force brought

Fearful Disorder on Roads.

With The French Army In France,
Aug. 14.-German forces have
momentarily slowed down the rush
Of the French toward Noyon. The
enemy is now standing on the old
line west Of Roye and Lassigny, in
which he stood from the autumn of
1914 to the spring Of 1917. In this
region the old Notifications and wire
ENHANCEMENT still remain.
There was very sharp fighting yes
terday on the heights OF Thies-
court particularly in Loges wood,
which was captured at, noon after
it had been drenched with gas. The
division that carried the woods
fought in masks all the morning. In
the afternoon the Germans counter
attacked and reoccupied the woods.
The task of the French. in this.
region is extremely difficult. as the
Germans know the ground thorough
ly, and all the ranges, and have
brought up heavy guns to replace
their enormous losses in field artil-
lery. They also have massed machine
guns in all Of the numerous favor
able positions they still hold on the
plateau that protects the road to
Noyon.
The Germans stand there is vital.
If this key to Noyon falls, the en-
emy's retreat would become diff
flcult.
Reports from aviators state that
the disorder on all the roads leading.
to the rear Of the German front is
indescribable. Every crossroad
constitutes an admirable target for
the airmen. -'
Aviators, after serving to replace
artillery by bombing front areas are

rush in and capture the guns before
the enemy can resume fire. All
through the battle of the Avre the
allies appear to have been masters
Of the air over the battlefield.

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Aug. 13.-The exchange Of
high explosive shells, shrapnel and
gas projectiles on the front held by
the Americans between Scissors and
Rheims is taking place. Another in
effectual stab was made at Fis-
mette by the Germans last night. To-
day has been comparatively quiet. The

along the Vesle are being reached by

Aug. 14.-There was no change in
the situation on the new Somme bat
