Increasing Man Power and Ex-
tending Control Of Air Enable
General FoCh to Adopt
New Policy.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, July s.-Increasing
manpower and rapidly extending con-
troll of the air have permitted the
adoption OF new policy by General
Foch, in the opinion of observers
here. They believe the sequence of
hard local blows struck recently by
allied troops shows a new phase is
developing which might expand into a
major operation.
Reports of the recent successful
strokes are taken to indicate General
Foch no longer feels the necessity
of keeping OH the defensive to con-
serve his forces. The fact that the
Germans have been completely sur
prised is believed to be due to the
work of the airmen.
American aid has served to change
the tide of fighting.
The American attacks around
Chateau-Thierry, the French opera
tions at Soissons and the British op-
erations out the Somme and in Fland-
ers, probably were prompted by the
weakness of the enemy at those
points.
Will Give Enemy No Rest.
1t is assumed General Foch plans
to give the enemy no rest. Points

GERMANS
REPUlSED
AT HAMEl.
Attempts to Retake Village
Captured by Australians Eas-
lily Stopped; Big Guns Busy
in Ypres Region.
BY The Associated Press.

The British front east of
.Amiens, on each side of the
Avre and along the Somme
river, seems to be the storm
center of the battle front in
France. Australians, assisted
by American detachments, on
July 4, drove the Germans out
of Hamel and the Vaire and
Hamel woods, to the south at
the same time launching a
secondary attack on the Ger
man positions north of Somme.
Since that time the. lines before
Amiens have been very active.
The Germans have been repulsed in
an attempt to retake the village OF
Hamel and the wooded positions
further south. The British official
report says the enemy was stopped
easily but the Germans claim to have
checked the British forces east of
Hamel and to have thrown them back
to their original lines at Villers Bret
toneux.
American Front Calm.
With the exception of aerial COM
bats. the American front has been
calm.
The German official statement tells
of British attacks in the Ypres region.
adding that they were repulsed.
] Heavy artillery fire in this neighbor-
hood is reported from London.
The French have been content to
hold and consolidate their new posi-
tions near Moulin Sous-T 7 ouvent and
Autreches, northwest of Soissons,
sswhcre in two recent French attacks
the Germans suffered severe casual
ties. The French war office says
during the past day there has been
heavy artillery firing near Cutry and
Mohtgobert southwest of Scissors.
Italians Lines Extended.
Italian forces operating near the
mouth of the Piave, have continued
to make progress, ,taking more than
400 prisoners, as we'll as a battery of
cannon and many machine guns. In
the mountain region, the Italians have
extended their lines northeast of
Monte Grappa and have repulsed
desperate counter attacks by the
Austrians against positions taken
from the enemy in the Italian drives
. week ago.
Finland Menaces Allies.
Stockholm reports that Finland is
expected to declare war on the entente
allies. This is probably the result of
German pressure incident to the land
ing Of allied forces at Kola, on the
Murman coast. 1t has been reported
that German and Finnish troops are
pushing northward toward'the port of
Kola to seize vast stores transported
there before Russia's collapse as a
factor in the war.
Unrest in South Africa.
Two rumors of internal dissension
have been current. One is to the
effect that the death of Mohammed
", Sultan of Turkey, was not due to
natural causes, but the result of a
revolt in that country. The other
comes from South Africa, where it is
reported considerable unrest exists
and where strong measures are being

through the increased production OF
cattle and hogs, the so.called meat
animals. At present and prospective

hen during the winter for two or
