London, Aug. lon the Picardy
battle front the Germans have ma
terially stiffened their defense against
the American, British and French
troops, but they have been unable to
stem the tide of advance against
them.
Although the forward push of the
Allies has been slowed down some
what, nevertheless they have made
farther important progress from the
north of the Somme, where the Amer
leans and British are fighting together,
to the northern bank of the Disc river,
where the French troops are engaging
the enemy.
The Americans and the British at
last accounts were pressing closely
upon Bray-Sur-Somme, aided by tanks
and armored cars, which inflicted
heavy casualties on the enemy as he
endeavored to retard their progress.
French Making Progress.
Across the river, the Germans heav-
lily engaged the British at Lihons and
it's vicinity, and at one point pierced
skirts of Lihons. A counter attack,
however, entirely restored to British
line and the enemy retired to posi-
tions east and north Of the village.
Unofficial reports from London have
credited cavalry with penetration of
the enemy's territory almost to Nesles.
By far the greatest progress has
IL no.
region Immediately southwest and
south of Roye to the Disc river. Here
they have driven their line well across
the Roye-Compiegene road, and at
Cambronne have reached the road
leading from Compiegene to Noyon.
Since the capture of Montdidier the
French have penetrated eastward to
Tilloloy, distance of about seven
miles and to Canny-Sur-Matz more
than eight and half miles, and
through the billy region southwark to
the Disc have averaged gains exceed
ing six miles over a front of IL miles.
The stiffening of the German de-
tense does not, in the minds of OBJ
servers on the battle front, indicate
that the retreat of the enemy has end
ed. Rather it is assumed that these
maneuvers are similar to those car
ried out over the Marine front, when
strong rear guards covered the re-
tirement of the crown princes army
northward.
The smoke of large fires continues
to be seen far behind the enemy's lines
and the movement of long transport
columns eastward is considered evil
dence that it is the intention of the
enemy ultimately to retreat to new
lines Of defense.
Aviators have destroyed all the
bridges across the SOmme from the
region of Peronne southwark, and with
the enemys communication lines eth
er in the hands Of the Allies or domi-
mated by their guns, the retrograde
movement necessarily must be slow.
Therefore strong rear guard actions
are required to save large numbers OF
men and guns and enormous quaint
ties of stores from capture.
The Allied troops gradually are en-
circling Roye and it's capture, which
seems imminent, will greatly heighten
the difficulties of the Germans in fall.

Worthy of Imitation.

The plodder is not dependent on pull
and other tricks. His conduct is so
ordinary that folks are not attracted
to him until they learn to know his
reliability. His very nature makes him
self-dependent and he asks favors Of
no one. He knows that to make good"
he must produce. To do that every
step must be known and every prob
lem fully met. So he counts on his
own ability to carry him over every adj

for the present crushing misfortunes

 world, TO sadly meet their fate. If this father had been a W. Q. W. His loved ones could have lived in
