GERMANS COUNTER ATTACK.
And Forced British Advanced Posts
Back Short Distance.


With the British Army in France,
Tuesday, Aug. 27.-(By the Associated
Press. Driven from the high ground
protecting Peronne on the west and
forced beyond the Hindenburg line in
the region of Arras, the Germans are
fighting desperately to stay the British
attacks in the region of Bapaume.
Since noon to-day, heavy reinforce
ments have been put into the enemy line
in the Bapaume region, for the purpose,
apparently, of giving the enemy time
to dig in on line paralleling the Canal
du Nord on the west. His next defense
line east would be behind the Canal
du Nord, about six miles east of Bap-
aume.
Along the Somme the British have
pushed the Germans off the high ground
between Maricourt and the river. South
of the river they have reached Dom
pierre, six miles west of Peronne. North
of Maricourt the Germans made vicious
counter attacks this evening and the
British had to give up some Of the

where seventy prisoners were brought
back by patrols which retired when the
enemy threw in heavy counter attack.

ESCAPED GERMAN
 ARRESTED IN SPAIN
GOT OUT OF THE FEDERAL PEN - ITENTIARY AT ATLANTA ON
 FORGED PASSES.

New York, Aug 5.-'Iieutenant Robert Fay, the Herman plotter, whose arrest in Spain was announced today by Secretary Lansing, had served only few months of an eight year term when he escaped with another prisoner from the federal pentitentiary at Atlanta, Georgia, by means of forged passes. Both men were employed as electricians and had more privileges than other pris- oneTs.
 Fay, who came to the United States from Rotterdam in 1915 under tho name of II. A. KearLing, first came to public notice when he was arrest ed near Grantwood, New Jersey, in October, 1915, on suspicion that he was conspiring to destroy intuition ships.
 Indicted and later re-indicted on five counts, he pleaded not guilty, but it was reported that he would turn states evidence. He failed to do so, however, and it was assum- ed that he shouldered all the blamt in order to shield other conspirators higher up"

GERMANS WITHDRAWING
 BEFORE THE AMERICANS
HUNS BOMBARDMENTS AND COUNTER ATTACKS HAVE
 GROWN WEAKER

With the American Army on the Vesle, Aug. 15.-The sustained pres sure by the French and the Americans on the line between Soissons and Rheims appeared today to be having the expected result Information from behind the German front, o5tainoi by observers indicated the withdrawal of one or two enemy divisions. In ad dition the counter actions Of the Ger mans have been notably reduced of late Moreover, the enemys reply to the American guns which have never ceased their punishment, has been ap preciably less prompt and the fallin, off in the enemy's aerial activities has been especially noticeable
 "Wednesday was the most active lay in the air for some time along the American battle front. One of the American planes attacked German Rumpier machine and fired one hun dred shots under it's tail The Ger
 man disappeared but apparently was under control. Another American machine forced a German to run for his life
 Captain Charles J. Riddle, of Anda - lusa, Pa, is the latest American avi- ator to bring down German aero plane. While out with a patrol this morning Captain Riddle met three monoplanes north of Fdiery. The Americans attacked and one of the German machines fell, apparently out of control. It vanished in the mist so that Captain Biddle's victory has not lyet been confirmed Lieutenant Vaughn R Mccormick got his second official German aeropane yesterday when he engaged the enemy in the air north of St. Mihie! French observers have confirmed the destruction of the German.

the basis of actuarial figures, from tations and the experience of this of flee in the previous registration, 1t has been estimated that the required number of men for class one, may be had only by including within the draft age limits men between 32 and 45 and IS and 20 That is to say, approxi- mately thirteen milliop men must te added to the list of registrants .n order that with all exemptions all lowed, at least two million men will remain in class one.

To have the first install ment of the new class one ready for camp by October, 1t would be neces- sary to have the regulation not later than September 15."
 Existing draft machinery in the different states will be used to en- roll the 13.000,0OO men. General Crowder said, with such additional registrars as may be necessary. The actual regulation will be made in the customary voting precincts, within the jurisdiction of each board.

BOLSHEvlKIS ARE FLEEING BEFORE ADVANCING TROOPS
American Troops From the Philip pines Have Been Landed at Vadi- vostok, Where They Joined Forces of Japan, British and French---Rus- sians Pleased at Overthrow of Bol- sheViki.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The march Of events in Russia from news receivea today seems to be rapidly assuming the proportions of a rout of the Boi- sheviki and of nature to bring dis may to Germany.
 With allied troops rapidly moving south from Archangel, forces of Brit ish, French, Japanese and American troops at Nladivostok and operating to the westward and q British force al Baku, the Czecho-Slovaks have taken new heart in their heroic fight against the Germans and Austrians.
 Late dispatches today recorded the advance of the allied troops from south on the road to Vologda The Bolsheyild are retreating and were reported committing every known atrocity upon the civilian population which openly has espoused the cause of the allies.
 The Bolshevlld throughout Russia are reported not only fleeing the au- vancing allies, but the newly aroused Russians who have learned that the allies are not beaten on the west front. as the Germans and Bolshevild have been persistently preaching.
 As the real news reaches the great masses of the people, the men are re- ported taking up arms that they car ried home with them when they were disbanded after the debacle of Brest- Litovsk.
 One official of the state department declared today that far from being tired of fighting and wanting only to get back to their homes, as the Ger man propagandists have reported, the Russians are more anxious than ever to fight for their freedom which they thought they had lost so soon after having gained it by revolution.
 One proof of this is found in the
 marching Of armed bands of peasants upon Petrograd demanding food and robbed their farms and stores of all provisions.
 The soviet of Petrograd, fully ap- Ipreciating the menace of the aroused peasants, have fled to Kronstadt where with Lenine and Trotzky, many observers believe the soviet govern ment is making its last stand. Reports, official and otherwise from all parts of Russia indicate the news of the approach of the allies Is spreading throughout the country, and tha the peasants are Hooking to the standards of any group openly anti German or anti-Bolsheviki. The landing of American troops a. Vladvostok, announced today by Sec retart Baker marks the actual begin
 ming of operations from the Siberian coast to the relief of the Czecho- lSlovaks. British and French contin- gents have been at Vladivostok for several days and there is reason to 1 believe that the Japanese have also | landed.
 l The principal opposition by tn Bol- sheviki and the armed German and Austrian prisoners is on the Siberian
 railroad between Lake Baikal and IVladivostok. All the rest of the line
 to Moscow is in the control Of the [Czecho-Slovak troops and the loyal
 Russians and Siberians.
 | The control of the road from Vladi-
 vostok to Nikolsk, the junction of the
 Manchurian eastern line and the Si- fberian road is in the hands of the d.
