The German offensive thus has
been turned into repulse, the ad-
vices from the front say, and may
now be turned definitely into a
German defeat.
The initiative is now In the hands
of the French? The tables have
been completely turned by Gen.
Foch's brilliant stroke and the
whole German situation between
Scissors and Rheims is endangered.
The Germans. 1t is contendcd,
will have to fight hard to stave on 4
a out and to extricate themselves.
This means that the allies dof-

traized his RI CUP of armies. 1t is
stated that he will have all he can
do to extricate himself from his
present position.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN Aug. 13 (By The Associated Press) The situation since the bat tie of the Avre shows a change which for rapidity and extent has rarely been in military history. Mar shal Foch's strategy and the master ly tactics 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 count CT offensives which will have the greatest bearing on subsequent oper- ations are the clearing of the Chateau Thierry pocket. 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 ChGIcnes and the equally important northern line from Paris to Amiens, restoring to the allies means of com munication which give them enormous ly greater ease in future movements of troops. The successes render impOs- sible any rupture of the line which would separate the French armies of the center from those of the east, or a rupture of the junction between the French and British. The most disas- trous consequence to the Germans aside from the heavy losses they sus- tained in men and material is the col lapse of their plan to drive wedges into the allied lines and the subsequent widening and joining which would have threatened general dislocatiOn Marshal Foch's strategy in reducing the salient wedges wrested the initia- tive in operations from the Germans. at once obliging them either to order a general retreat to a strong line such as the Somme. or to engage reserves.

PROBABLY HOLD LINE VERDUN TO SWISS BORDER, THROUGH WHICH STROKE AT GERMAN TERRITORY MUST BE PUSHED IN ALLIED OFFENSIVE

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-Sec-
 retary Baker was formally advised
 today by General Pershing that
 the first American field army had
 been created, General Pershing
 retaining command of the army
 as we'll as or the entire Ameri-
 can expeditionary force for the
 present.
 Formation of the army is taken
 here to mean that the American
 ization of 2 definite portion O.
 the front has been completed. The
 only statement of the location of
 this American front given is that
 it Is south Of the Marne." Pre-
 sumably this means a part, at
 least, of the long line from St.
 Mihiel to the Swiss border, where
 American troops have been put in
 at intervals during the last few
 months.
 The extent cf that front has not been disclosed, nor has the definite strength of the army been given. The advices indicate that it comprises, however, five full corps, which meS1s approximately 1.250,0O0 men.
 The effect of the taking over of the line is to make a definite beginning at appOrtioning the long front. The Brit ish hold the left flank, aided by the Belgians from the North Sea to the junction of the British fourth army and the French first army in Picardy
 In thai position the British stand between the enemy and the channel ports which would be his only road 10 England while the British fleet eX- ists

German High Command Lays Stress on Necessity of Con- serving Manpower in Their Operations A

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 13. (By the Associated Press "A captured enemy secret or der signed 'Ludendorff' lays stress on the necessity of economizing men. The order asserts that the two ele- ments essential to the future conduct of the war are to maintain every where our fighting strength and the spirit of offensive"
 The captured document was issued late in June.
 Tt is essential" says the order, that all commanders of whatever rank, as well as all troops, should be immediately imbued with the idea that the war cannot be won by stubborn defense, but only by further success sion of vigorous attacks. These at tacks, however, cannot lead to victory unless we adhere to and improve on the methods of warfare adopted in the recent offensives."
 The order then goes on to say that everywhere under the well tried prin- ciples of the manual of infantry train ing in war and the additions made by the high command, namely, Non Hin denburg and Ludendorff, success had been gained at small cost It cites as an example the operations southwest of Noyon from June onward
 Not only is there a probability of obtaining other successes by these methods but also the situation in re gard to endorsements compels us tC perfect them still further" the order continues. Tt is absolutely essential that we should avoid our old fault oi attacking in too dense formations and we should reduce our casualties by every possible means. The necessity holds equally good for the defensive fronts. The divisions must do theil utmost to reduce casualties to the ab solute minimum by a distribution ir depth and the creation of extended outpost zones.
 Notwithstanding instructions" thu order points out, "too much attention still is paid to the possession oi ground, the holding or retaking of DOT tions of trenches, villages and woods and to fighting for points whose only value is that of prestige. Now, moro

WASHINGTON, Alg. 13.-German submarine raids in American waters were understood to have been dis cussed today at an unusually prolong- ed session of the cabinet, but if any new plans for combating this menace were formulated it was not disclosed.
 The only report of the activities of the raiders reaching the navy depart ment during the day told of the de structiOn of the Norwegian steamer Sommerstad, yesterday morning, twen- ty-five miles southeast of Fire Island, N. Y. Captain Hansen and his crew of thirty men were landed by a naval. patrol boat which found them at sea in small boats ten hours after the steamer went down.
 Destruction of the SOmmerstad by a torpedo which passed under the ships bow and later circled and struck the vessel amidships gave rise to a sugges- tiOn that the torpedo Was controlled by radio on the submarine, bat this was ridiculed by naval experts. They eX- plained that the course of a torpedo is regulated by the gyrOscope, which
  weapon will describe a circle. This has been done time and again during torpedo practice in the American navy so as to return the weapon to the ship discharging it, and it has not been an thing for torpedoes fired by German submarines to take similar courses.
 With the torpedo's steering gear set so the weapon will run in a circle, it becomes almost doubly effective, naval officers explained, for if it misses the object when speeding on it's outward course, the possibility remains that it will strike after it turns about. possibility that is increased if the ship attacked goes full speed ahead as the Sommerstad did No additional re- ports on the depth bomb attack by an American destroyer on a submarine off the Virginia coast have reached the navy department, but it now seems fairly well established that it occurred Sunday after gas from oil supposed to have been discharged from a subma- Tine overcame six men in the coast guard station and lighthouse on Smiths island, North Carolina, Sat urday evening.
