Chance to Glue Up
(By The Associnted Press


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE VESLE FRONT, Aug. 20.-Sixty
Prussians have been taken prisoner by
the Americans near Fsmette, north Of
Fismes, without either side firing a
shot. The Prussians were machine
gunncrs and all that remained of a
company which had been in line less
than a month.
American detachments went out q
few nights ago, the location cf the ma
chine gun positions having been re-
ported by prisoner. According to the
Americans the Prussians were waiting
to be taken prisoner. The intelligence
officer who questioned the captives as
serted that they nearly all had agreed
to surrender if the slightest oppor-
tunity arose.
The Americans who took the prison
ers do not claim any credit for tho
capture, declaring that the Prussians
virtually deserted their posts.
A German prisoner taken Sunday told
an intelligence officer he believed that
il the line gets back to Germany proper
the fighting spirit of the German SOL
diers will be greatly stimulated

Foch Believed Planning to Clear
Picardy and Flanders by Winter

of actions which will occupy every mo-
ment until the arrival Of winter rains
makes the platcaus of Picardy and the
plains Of Flanders impossible for large
troop movements.
Most observers agreed that the i'm
mediate objective of General Mangin's
forces appeared to be the "picking" of
the Roye pocket, with the subsequent
control of the important supply lines
between that city and Noyon. For the
larger objective toward which efforts
of the Allies are being bent was seen
the capture of Noyon and a resultant
breakdown Of the German defensive line
over a front of scores of miles.
Activities of the British army cast
of Arras, around the Mcrville sector,
are thought to be linked up with this
larger plan. Not few strategists in
army circles forescc in the near future
a more important thrust by these
forces, completing the cycle Of often
sives from Rheims to the sea.

German Position
NotU Like That of
Allies Last March

LONDON, Aug. 2o.-The situation on
the main fighting front in France is
summed up by the Reuter- correspon-
dent with the French armies as fol-
lows:
ave have arrived at the stage in
this battle corresponding to that
which Germany reached at the end Of
March and early in June after long
bloody and eXhaust.ng advances on the
hee.s of inferior opposing numbers
We counted firmly on the arrival OF
the moment when the reserves would
be able to check the German advance
and prepare the flank attacks which
have by their success restored the in
itiative to US.
"The enemy in turn is using that
weapon against US. His reserves are
not yet exhausted. and however he
may grudge the necessity Of having tc
waste them in defensive battle
which in the end can only be q prelude
to retreat. he may still possess thirty
fresh divisions, as we'll as 1000
youths of the class of 1920. Our
successes must be carefully planned
and manfully Won"

Americans Make
Successful Raids
On Vesle Front
tBv Tho Associated Press)

'bD INC HsSOctdtGd PTeSs)
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE VESLE FRONT, Aug. 20, 7 P. NJ.
The operations Of the Germans be-
tween scissors and Rheims since the
French began their offensive northwest
of scissors have been characterized by
q slightly increased use of artillery
and decrease in aerial activity
There have been no alterations of any
Importance in positions along the
Vesle front.
The Americans carried out raids last
night near Bazoches. The operations
were successful. One Of the prisoners
taken gave information to the Amcri-
cans concerning the German unit.
along that part of the line.
The Germans are still using their
artillery against the French and Amer
leans and also are continuing to send
gas projectiles over.
1t is assumed that the reduction in
the aerial activities OF the Germans is
due to the dispatch Of some OF their
Bquadrons to the battle zone northwest
Of Sossons, as it is considered unlike
ly that the Germans underestimate the
operations there.
The belief prevails in army circles

Der of his reserves and the harried
condition Of those carrying on.
Up and down the line. from the
Somme to the Disc, you hear the roar
and hum of the destroying machinery
which day and night is following the
east moving Boche with shells and gas
bombs, his billets, roads, supply trains
and ammunition dumps being the tar
gets.
The Boche is not going back today
as rapidly as he did last week, but his
position is not improved. The probable
fall at any hour of three such i'm
portant points on his front as Roye,
Lassigny and Chaulnes, carrying in
evitably sooner or later the loss also
of Noyon, brings the Boche to the
problem of crossing the Somme-an
unwclcomc possibility, if, indeed, not a
!, necessity, and ct best hazardous and
costly undertaking, with the Allied
troops hard on his heels and the AL
lied guns playing on the bridges.
Allies on Familiar Ground
Many officers who have served a long
time on the Somme believe that the
Germans will make no endeavor to
make an earlier halt, but will fight as
they so back as slowly as possible, to
snatch time for the reorganization
straight to the Hindcnburg line as g
base for operations and winter quar-
tcrs.
They argue that every foot of land to
the Hindcnburg line is thoroughly
familiar ground to the British, and
that the Bochc realizes under what
great disadvantages he would labor in
establishing a jumping off poin. for ar
attack at place about which every
road, hill and dale and tree is known
and recorded by his persistent ant
cver-p pressing foe.
Others assert that the foe would lose
700 hcdNlIy IN morale and cHectiEcS by
such an extended withdrawal, anc
therefore he will not yield so much
ground until obliged to, and will prob
ably stand on the Peronne- -Nesle -Noyor
line.
However military tactics experts may
disagree on the probable hating place
Of the retrcating Boche, it requires NJ
expert to observe in this region, as il
Chateau Therry and Fismcs, that he
had prepared for substantial supply

An hour and half after the order
was given to attack infantrymen were
passing Audignicourt and Vassens, and
were followed Immediately by batteries
Of 3inch guns. The first line Of de-
fence was then breaking.
The Germans on retiring filled the
ravine with mustard gas. This, how
ever, proved only a temporary trouble,
the entire ravine being turned in q
short time and the French troops
progressing toward Blerancourdcllc,
eight miles southeast Of Noyon.
Further to the right, Tarticrs, two
and one-half miles southeast of Nor
sain, was entered at o'clock, and
columns of prisoners began to appear
upon the plateau to the rear.
The artillery reaction was very weak
over this part of the front
Filters Harass Enemy
French aviators, flying away down
under the low-lying clouds, kept the
staff regularly informed as to the
progress of the attack and harassed
the enemy with machine gun fire. No
German fliers tried to interfere with
their work. Few were seen in the air
during the morning.
The Germans made a desperate de-
fence in the hilly and wooded region
south of the Disc around Carlepont,
Caisne and Lombray, where they held
strong positions, which were profusely
dotted with quick-hrcrs. The Four-a-
Vcrrc and Croisettc farms were taken
by the French after violent struggle,
which proved very costly to The enemy

stalled German attack, which officers,
taken prisoners, say had been prepared
for 1880 o'clock this morning. The ex-
tremely heavy artillery preparation
during the last twcnty-four hours by
the French served as a warning to the
Germans that the French also had an
attack in anticipation, and two fresh
divisions, one of Jaegers and the other
of men from Baden, were brought up
during the night in lorries to attempt
to defend the German line.

ing it has suffered greatly, especially
from the Allied artillery.
The initiative having passed from
the Germans, the position ceased to be
of value to them. Merville, of course,
has been entered and the Allied patrols
by this time have operated some dis
tance beyond it,
Channel Drive Abandoned
BY withdrawing in the Mcrvile sector
Of the Lys salient the Germans definitely
have given up one of the points from
which drive for Calais logically would
be launched. This is taken to indicate
that the German high command has, at
least for the time being, abandoned
hope of reaching the coast, and now
perhaps is chiefly concerned with get
ting the German lines back to q place
of greater security.
South of the Scarpe River the British
still further advanced their line, while
their positions south Of the River
Sommc were improved by local actions
An enemy attack which developed here
yesterday was complete failure in
every respect, the Germans suffering
heavy casualties.
Foe Gains No Ground
While the Germans managed to penc
trate the British positions at two points,
they were quickly hurled out, and the
line this morning was completely re-
stored. Not single foot Of ground
was gained by the enemy.
Between the Somme and Ancrc
rivers the British lines have been
steadily improved in the last few days,
and last night the positions Of the
enemy west of Bray were successfully
raidcd.
Aside from a desire to get out of the
ground which has been extremely un-
profitable for them to hold, and where
the British, by reason of their superior
positions, arc able to pound them day
and night, the Germans in retiring pos.
sibly have another motive; namely, to
establish strategic defence against
the operations Of the tanks should they
anywhere be attacked by the British.

BERLIN (NIGHN. A new break
ing through attempt on the part of
the French, which had been ex-
pected for some days and which was
preceded on August 18 and 10 by
strong attacks, commenced to-day
between the Disc and the Aisnc. The
first enemy assault broke down in
our battle positions after bitter
struggle.
BERLIN (DAN. - Southwest of
Bailleul the artillery activity fire.
qucntly increased to great strength.
Monday evening the enemy renewed
his attacks on the battlefield Of Sun
day. South of Mcteren they were
unable to develop owing to our con-
centrated fire. North Of VieuxBcr-
quin they were repulsed in hand-to-
hand fighting.
On both sides of the Lys a few
days ago, without fighting, wc with
drew our posts which had been
thrown forward as far west as Mcr-
vile to a line east thereof. Mer-
vile was occupied last night by
enemy detachments.
Near Lens and on the Scarpc Brit
ish thrusts were repulsed. North of
Lihons our shock troops attacked the
front line of British posts, captured
the defenders and wardcd off several
enemy counter attacks. Southwest
Of Chaulnes we beat back an etiamy
attack launched in the evening after
a short outburst of firing. North
west of Roye the French renewed
their attack with tanks. They were
rcpulsed.
Between Beuvraignes and the Disc
there was bitter fighting throughout
the day Here, on a broad front, the
French advanced repeatedly in strong
attacks, partly with divisions which
had been freshly brought up. South
Of rapeau-Mesnil their attacks COL
lapsed before our lines. On both
sides of Fresnicrcs they broke down
under our counter attack.
In violent hand to hand fighting
the enemy was rcpulsed between Las
signy and Thiescourt, and parts of
our front lines, into which he had
temporarily penetrated, were cleared
again. In the same way we held our
adjacent lines to the Oise against
stubborn attacks Of the enemy. kept
up until evening. The enemy was
thrown back into his positions of de-
parture. Between the Disc and the
Aisne the artillery duels again in
creased in the afternoon to great
strength.
Toward evening the enemy con-
tinued his infantry attacks between
Carlepont and Nouvron. On both
wings of the attack he was repulsed
in hand to hand fighting. In the
centre Of our front our artillery fire
held down the enemy's infantry be-
fore our positions.
Between the Meuse and the Moselle
our reconnoitring detachments pene-
trated several times into the enemy's

Allied Attacks
Block LudendorRs
Counter Offensive

PARIS, Aug. 20.-Apart from the
tactical results obtained, the objects
of which will be seen more clearly in
the near future, the Allied attacks be-

the last two days. modestly called
local or line Strengthening operations
in the War Office communicates, have
the important effect of keeping the
enemy on the alert and preventing
him from preparing a counter often
sive.
The attacks have made it impossi-
Bile for General Ludendorff to regroup
his troops. They have obliged him to
maintain more than 140 divisions in
the first line, which have to be re-
lieved constantly. At several points
it has been necessary for him to in
crease the density of the first line
The army of General Won Eben,
which holds the line from Carlepont
TO Missy-surAsnc. had only ten di,
visions in the first line on August !.
The recent French operations on that
front, it is believed here, will make
it necessary for General Won Boehn to
send him reinforce.nents

Of the operations carried out Monday

of the Aisne untenable, except at an
enormous cost.
The nature of the German artillery
fire apparently would indicate a stabi-
lizcd line north of the Vesle, but no
permanent trenches have yet been dis
covered, which tends to support the
theory that the enemy still intends to
recroSs the Aisne. Meanwhile the
German line is being subjected to OIL
