Ludendorff Calls For Weed
ing Out of Auxiliary Units
to Provide More Men For
Fighting Lines Now Hard
Pressed by Allies
TRY TO MEET GROWING
u. S. ARMY IN FRANCE

With the British Army in France,
Aug. 16.-Germany has aeknowl-
edged that her manpower, once so
freely wasted, now is dwindling in
proportions great enough apparently
to cause considerable anxiety to the
hisn command. The toll taken, par
ticulsrly in recent fighting by the
allied armies. and the prospect of
being confronted by ever-growing
American fore es has caused General
Ludendorff to issue most imperative
orders for a vigorous, immediate
comb-out in the German army in
order to recover from auxiliary units
all men capable of entering the
trenches.
In the comb-out. says the order
issued by Luoendorff, first considera-
ton will be given to men over 43
who have served in the front lines
longer than six months. He an
nounces that commissions have been
appointed to investigate the entire
situation, including men of every
rank. All men available for the in
fantry must be sent to depots in Bel
GUM, the special purpose of the high
command being to get more infantry
reserves.
Appended to the order are special
instructions to Field Marshal Won
Mackensen and General Won Schlot2
to make "a greater demand upon the
local personnef instead of using
Germans in the auxiliary services a:

ENEMY ARTILLERY
is VERY ACTIVE

With the British Army in France,
Aug. 16.-The enemy artillery was
active last night from one end of the
British front to the other. Theactiv-
ity was especially marked along the
new Somme battle front, in the Es-
sarts sector and in the region of La
Bassee on the northern front, where
there was a heavy gas bombardment.
There was no development of ac-
tivity by the enemy infantry any
where, however.
All along the Somme front the
British are continuing various slight
forward movements to gain advan-
tages of position. 1t was in move
ments of this kind that Damery and
Parvillers came yesterday into Brit
ish hands.
The situation north of the Ancre
has not yet been clarified, the
enemys intentions being obscure.
There are no further reports of wide
spread Withdrawals in this region, al
though the enemy seems to have
abandoned several of his small for
ward positions. On the other hand,
British patrols that crossed the Ancre
last night were fired upon and forced
to return.

FOCHS LOSSES

Situation in East
Grows Menacing
For the Huns
BY associated Press

Paris, Aug. 16, P. M.-Roye is
being held in a vise-like grip by the
French. Stubborn resistance by the
Germans is being crushed by the
French, who slowly are encircling the
town.
The French advance at Villers-Les-
Roye makes the fall of Roye inevi-
table, it is believed by military men.
Possession of the town by French
troops would make necessary a recti-
fication of the German lines and an
enemy retreat to the Nestle-Noyon
would be probable.
The Germans are clinging desper-
ately to range of hills east of Ribe-
court. They also are stubbornly de-
Tending the Lassigny-Oise canal, the
loss of which would entail the eva
cuation of Noyon.
Allied pressure has been effectively
resumed against the German line in
the region of Roye, on the Picardy
battle front.
The enemy is clinging deter
minedly to this town as a bulwarl
of the positions he took up after
being driven back from the Amiens
region. Both the French and the
British are pushing closer, however,
and amking prolonged tenancy OF
the place doubtful.
London last night reported the
British line advanced northwest OF
! the town, in the neighborhood oi
Damery and Parvillers while to-day
Paris reports a forward movement
on the part of the French, west and

Abandonment of
Victory Hopes
By Associated Press

London, Aug. 16.-The with
drawal on the western front by
the Germans in the past few
days, it is believed here, indi-
Gates that the enemy intends to
abandon the offensive.
Military observers say there is
every idication the Germans intend
to stand on their present line. There
is a possibility, however. that they
may fall back to the Divette,
small tributary of the Disc and
which joins it south of Noyon. The
French now hold all the high ground
in that region.
1t is said the British are so close
to Chaulnes that the enemy cannot
use the town. Almost all the rail
communications in the Peronne re-
gion have been rendered useless by
the Allies.
