ROCKS AND STEADY
 NERVE SAVES AMERlC AN

With the American Army in France, Sept esday.-Rocks and a steady nerve saved a private of an American division in the Toule sector who was taken prisoner by German raiders recently, but who escaped and returned to his own lines. The Ger mans were particularly exasperatec at losing the prisoner because they had vainly sought to capture and hold at least one man from the division opposing them. But this one slipped through their fingers.
 The American was carried to Ger man trenches after having been sur sounded. Suddenly he broke away and ran. The Germans did not fire
 because they feared they might hit
 each other. The American stumbled into a shell crater and bombarded his
 pursuers with rocks. One of the Ger mans leaped into the hole along side of him, but the American killed him with q trench knife. then dashed from |shell hole to shell hole until nc Ireached the American lines.
 Such a large proportion of tho American casualties in recent actions has been due to gallant attempts tc lrescue wounded officers and men py Iunwounded comrades that Genera Pershlng has been compelled to issue a general order calling attention to tht fact that the regulations prohibit members of the fighting force to leave their proper position even for this
 purpose.

WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
 LOOKS FOR CRASH SOON
There Is Evidence That the German High Command May Plan Fur to Shorten It's Defensive Lines and Ease the Strain Upon Germany's Wanino Man Power.

Washington. Sept. 11-Behind ths apparent lull in the battle in France. events are swiftly shaping for opera
 tions of crucial importance in the
 opinion of officials here who are keep
 ing in hour to hour touch with devel-
 opments. These observers believe a
 weeks time will see either the great
 est battle of the war in progress along
 the old Hindenburs line, or the enemy
 in fnll retreat to ward the Belgian frontier, refusing to meet Marshal Foch's forces.
 There is evidence that the German high command may plan further extensive withdrawal in order to shorten it's defensive lines and ease tine strain upon Gernanye waning man power. There is now little doubt that 1t was lack of fishting effectives that forced the enemy tQ abandon all he had gained in his drive of this year and narrow his front.
 Reports from France say the Ger mans have left behind them duyin; the withdrawal more than 300,0Ov
 prime fighting men, killed, badly
 wounded, or prisoners. This is in ad- dition to the heavy losses in the frontal attacks by which the enemy
 early in the summer drove his way
 toward Paris and the Channel ports. With such losses as these draining
 the ranks and with American troops pouring into France at the rate Of
 200,000 a month, it would not surprise officers here if the German leaders
 have been compelled to fix upon a
 much shorter front than the old Hin
 denburg line as one which would of fer any hope of staying the allies
 onward march
 Unofficial reports from Dunkirk,
 where allied air patrols are based, la-
 dicated that the preparation to eva cuate Douai, northern cornerstone Of the lIindenburg arch in France arc we'll advanced. The allied airmen are
 also said to have seen the enemy air
 dromes and aviation stations fifteen
 miles beyond Douai being hastily eva cuated of heavy material. From other sources came reports that the civilian
 populations Of the towns in German
 hands in this region are being driven
 out, q step which always precedes a
 withdrawal by the enemy.
 There is little dOubtin the minds of officers here that Douai could be hold only at great cost if the British arc sent forward to take it.
 Already Sir Douglas lHaigs men have firm hold astride the line be tween Douai and Cambrai and observ- CTS believe it will be little short of a military miracle if the enemy out of the confusion unavoidable in his swift retreat can organize a defense for Douai, Cambrai. St. Quentin or I.e- l'ere. which can resist successfully
 the full weight of the allies armies. If these towns fall the Hndenhure line goes with them, probably alonc
 the whole length, it is said.

had been no let-up in the allied of fensive, notwithstanding the fact that the German high command has stit fened it's resistance everywhere, dis cardng infantry units as such and training them into machine gun com panies and bringing up large numbers of guns ofall calibres to hold their as ageressors back Therefore it is moi improbable that Foch when the skies have cleared and the marshes disap- peared again, will take up with full impetus, his task of putting the enc my on his mettle and continue for the two months of good fighting weather remaining if not beyond that period, his efforts with his own now great forces to drive the Germans farther back toward the Rhine.
 The British and French troops ap- parently are in a hard race for the prize of St Quentin, forces of both ar mics now being at equal distant points west of the city-the British in the vicinity of Vermand and the French at Etrillers and Coupy
 To the north the British in local operations have made further progress north of Epehy in the operation which has for it's purpose the driving of T wedge midway between Cambrai and St. Quentin and also have successfully sustained heavy counter attacks by the Germans near GouZeaucourt where the Germans are trying hard to hold back the British toward Cambrai.
 North of St GObain the French have made additional slight advances, nor withstandng the condition of the ter rain and the strong force of the enc my aligned against them in an effort to prevent the turning of this in portant position from the west
 Heavy artillery is in action all along this front and likewise on the sectors northeast of Soissons and between the Aisne and Vesle rivers, the operations, which have a direct bearing on those north of the St Gobain forest
