counsel as the swivel chair king of a
conspiracy to upset Americas mill
tary program, stoutly denied on the
witness stand late today that he had
ever advocated violence and rs-assert-
ed his views that essential social re-
forms must be brought about by in
dustrial rather than political methods.
The general secretary-treasurer OF
the Industrial Workers of the World,
in short dramatic sentences struck a
comparison between the wage slave
of today and the chattel slave of the
period before the civil war;"
The black man of the south before
the war was better off" he asserted.
This slave had but one master who
owned his body. But this master fed
him well. He was .weH housed and
given substantial clothes, and his
free hours were spent with his family,
croonin,, southern melodies. Do the
workers of the present age spend
their idle hours grooming songs like
the Suwanee river?
Now these black men have been
brought to East St. Louis or the Chi
cago packing plants and neither life

The scenes on the battle ground
over which the allies already have
passed gave evidence Of this haste
in abandoned guns, stores, and even
regimental and artillery maps and
papers.
Aerial observers report large
streams of transports and men hur-
rying eastward in full retreat.
Beaucaurt fell to the allied forces
this morning and Lequesnel also was
taken after hot all-night fighting.
Allied cavalrymen have been oper-
ating for more than "a hours. They
rode through great holes torn in the
German line by the infantry. Today
was ideal for their operations, being
clear and sunny.
The cavalry Is working far back
toward the Somme and is still round
ing up villages, while tanks and arm
ored cars are running over the coun-
try, clearing way for the troops or
killing horses drawing enemy sup
plies. The drivers of motor trucks
and lorries are chasing parties of Ger
mans here and there, scattering them
or running them to earth.
Great Work Done by Cars.
The details of some of the work
OF these armored cars show that they
have performed valiant service. One
OF them ran into a town yesterday
while German corps was having
lunch. 1t turned its guns through the
corps quarter windows, killed some
OF the staff and then chased others
who escaped from the house. At Ro-
sieres another car, set an enemy train
on fire.
A group of cars met, far inside the
enemy lines. German supply col
umn and halted it. Four mounted
German officers came UP to see what
the trouble was and were shot from
the cars, which then proceeded to
make quick work of the column.
At Framerville the cars engaged a
train loaded with the enemy and fin.
ally set it on fire. Tanks entered this
town soon afterward, help the arm

These fnaneuvers seemingly indi-
cate the Germans either considered
their grond insecure or that Crown
Prince Rupprecht's army has been
materially decreased in strength to
rush reinforcements to the battle
zones where the German arnies in
the south are being sorely harasscd.
German Flanks Give Way.
After the British had penetrated
fhe Picardy salient to depth of near
ly IS miles in the center toward the
important railroad junction of Chaul-
mes, the northern and southern flanks
of the battle front gave way before the
pressure respectively of the British
and French.
On the north the British captured
Morlancourt and pressed on east
ward, while on the south, northwest
of Montdidier, Pierrepont, Contoire
and Arvillers- were taken by the
French, who drove in their wedge
to distance of more than eight and
one-half miles.
The tanks, armored cars and cavalry
are still working throughout the en-
tire region, while airplanes are soar
ing far behind the lines, bombing
transport and troop movements and
also paying particular attention to
the bridges over the Somme by which
the enemy is endeavoring to escape.
All behind the line the Germans are
destroying ammunition depots as they
quit their positions.
Montdidier Salient in Peril.
With the new turn of events Mont
didier is in an unfavorable position
with the allies liamnering away
crossfre at the Germans holding it
and with the only railroad leading
into the town also under their guns.
A forced evacuation of the town
seems possible. With further pres
sure eastward and northward the en-
tire Montdidier salient may have o
be abandoned.
There has been little fighting Of
great moment on the Vesle river, ex-
csept in the nature Of reciprocal artil-
lery duels. The Americans have made

Retreat of Germans
Reaches Proportions
OF Rout in Places

Washington, Aug. o.-The start
ling rapidity OF the British-French
advance in Picardy, coupled with
new successes in Flanders and on
the Vesle, produced an impression
among some army officers that de-
cisive momert. perhaps the final
battle, was approaching.
The German high command
seemed to stand face to face with
vital decision.
Either, his reserves must be
rushed in and a pitched battle
risked, or all he has gained at stag
gering cost abandoned and a with
drawal begun without delay.
The French and British have gone
ahead with such rapidity in Picardy
that the German retreat must have
reached the proportions of rout in
places. The whole bottom of the
great Picardy salient has been fat
tened out in two days. If he is
forced to withdraw, the last men,
ace to Paris will be removed.
