That Examination Mix-Up

In the local column of The Star.

an item in reference to the delay in
examining drafted men. The item
seemed to censure the examining board
and the postmaster for delay and for
lack of interest in the young men who
are to enter the army. This item
was written and handed in by one Of
the men who had suffered from the
delay. Investigation brings out the

SUMMARY 0FTHE War
(By Associated Press.l

Giving the Germans no time 60
catch their breath after their crush
ing defeat on the Aisns -Marne front,
Marshal Foeh has launched fresh
attack against them in a new Sec
tor.
The attack started at dawn this
morning on a wide front in Pieardy,
east and southeast of Amiens. The
French first army and the British
fourth army are engaged in this new
offensive, which is under the i'm
mediate direction Of Field Marshal
Haig, the British eommander-in-
chief.
Both the Paris and London official
statements announce the opening Of
the attack and report satisfactory
The field OF the fighting is the
scene of the most pronounced Ger
man success in this years. series of
enemy offensives. IL was in the first
German blow, delivered against the
British front, between Cambrai and
La Fere on March 21, that the en-
emy broke into the allied lines and
was not stopped until he had push
ed the head of his assaultina col
umns down TO the region of Mont
didier. He swept over a wide stretch
Of territory, including the districts
the Germans had devastated in their
retreat Of March, 1917, and estab-
lished vast salient that has since
stood virtually intact, with its apex
at Montdidier and its base roughly
extending along the line from Albert,
near the Sonme, on the north, to
Noyon, on the Disc on its southern
side.
The front under attack is NOT
definitely defined but IL seems prob
able that It's length is at least 20
miles, from the Somme south to
the Montdidier region.
Marshal Foeh's object in striking
here may well have been based on
the idea of breaking up the enemy
line between Montdidier and Sois-
sons before the Germans had time to
stabilize the Soissons- Rheims front.
Allied troops on two other widely
separated. sectors of the battle front
also are keeping the German busy
and have carried local advances
which may prove of first Importance
In future operations.

London, Aug. 8,-Colonel Roose-
velt's advice Of not to hit soft is
hardly needed by the American
troops between Soissons and Rheims,
says Reuters correspondent on the
American front. There has been no
soft hitting on the part Of the Amer
leans nor any inclination in that
direction.
"The Germans asked for a rough
war, and by Heaven we are here to
see that they get it," is the remark
Of one American reported by the
correspondent who says the Ger
mans who fought in the Marine
salient doubtlessly realize that fact.
'If, however, the correspondent
continues, German officers, instead
of telling their men lies about
American barbarians,' would re-
frain from acts which produce a
white heat Of American hostility. It
would be more to their. advantage.

their own losses. An American

but were withdrawn and sent to the

participated in the recent victory
over the Germans.
This new attack, launched just
three weeks after Field Marshal
Foch's mastery counter offensive
against the western side of the Eois-
sons Rheims salient, has been eX~
pected since the Germans were driy-
en- back to the Aisne and the Vesie.
1t was not believed that the allied

the stunning defeat administered ia

to be an offensive fighter and 1t has

emy retired to positions before
which rivers offer partial protection.
The fighting in Picardy recalls the
great Offensiyes carried out there
by the British and French in 1918
and the German strategic retreat
to the Hindenburg line in February
