IN
THE BIG FIGHT

Washington. Aug. 1o.-The British
war official statement today on the
drive in Picardy reveals for the first
time the fact that American troops are
taking part in this smashing blow there
against the enemy.
There has been no information here
to show that men from this country
were in the drive and the identity of
the unit or units is not known.
Large numbers of American soldiers
are brigaded with the British for train
ing and they have aided in offensive
strokes notably that at Hamel, July 4,
when they advanced with Australians
and took considerable ground and some
prisoners.
The presence of Americans behind
the British line was believed to have
enabled the British to assemble large
forces for the present drive, but the
news that Americans actually are in
the fighting and have won "a consid-
erable success" was received here with
qualification.

GERMANS IN RETREAT TOWARD
SOMAIE AND NESLE NOYON CANAL
BY Associated Press.

Crushed by the impact OF the British
French and American offensive the Ger
man forces are streaming back toward
the Somme river and the Nesle Noyon
Canal.
AS far as can be determined the enc
my is in full retreat along the front
against which the allies were flung
Thursday morning. The Germans are
In serious position east of Mont
didier. The allies have closed in on
Chaulnes and have had the railroad
junction south of that town under ar
tillery fire for two days. With Cnaui-
mes lost the Germans will be forced to
make long perilous march eastward
over country roads toward Noyon. In
the center allied airmen rep6rt ths
roads filled with Germans in full re-
treat.
Somme bridges south Of Peronne are
under fire and that at Peronne Is re-
ported broken.
The number prisoners taken during
the frst days offensive is very large.
Paris papers report that 1t far ex-
ceeds figures given out In the Official
statement. Two divisional headquar-
ters with STATS are said to have been
taken. Heavy losses in guns and war
material have been sustained by the
enemy.

PARIS SAVED BY
BRAVE AMERICANS

Washington. Aug, 10.-A graphic eye
witness account of the fighting near
Chateau Thierry = which American
divisions, including marines, partici-
pated was made public today in the
form of letter from a marine corps
officer whose name is withheld. The
story is of peculiar significance in view
of the fact that many officers here be-
1ieve the Americans along this line
saved Paris. The writer tells how the
Americans on June l relieved the hard
pressed French, who dropped bach,
passing through American lines.
"Boches came on under deadly rife
fire. the letter says. But the Ameri-
can aim was SO accurate that they
finally broke and ran for cover, from
the fire.
The marines amazed the French and
they were Unable TO understand how
men should fire deliberately, use their
sights and adjust their range. The Ger
mans were undoubtedly mystfied at
the manner of defence. They stiffened
up until they found our troops were in
line"

France to-day. He pointed out that
the great battle front is rapidly being
Strengthened out from Rheims to the

over. THE Germans are not yet back
TO the original Hindenberg line, where
this years advance began" he said.
It is not the time to talk about the war

bow division, General March said the
division left the training sector in
Lorraine and arrived east OF Rheims
July fifteen. where it helped break the
main German attack. In eight days

sions. It met, routed and decimated
the crack Prussian guard and Bavar-
ian divisions and drove the enemy's line
