rested for several days. They did not
appear to be such good material as the

Americans Advance Another Mile
The whole American army moved
forward today while the allied armies
on the f1anks pressed hard against the
sides of the German salient.
Their gains were made almost with
out resistance.
In open order the men plowed their
way thru raihsoaked fields for almost
a mile.
Indications are that the Germans will
not make a stand until they reach the
area north of the Nesles forest
The Germans withdrew during the
night so that when the Americans
started early this morning they did not
encounter the usual machine gun fire.

Germans have been retiring
This area is a nest Of the German

g London, Aug; 2. Reuters cor,.e-
.spondent on the American front says:
There may be some danger Of mis-
conception or disappointment, arising
from flamboyant accounts Of lighting
on the American front and the conclu-
sion may be drawn that the director
of the allied advance Is finding success
ful accomplishment beyond his means.
"Altho no praise is too high for the
way Americans are lighting, that fight
ing is on a comparatively small scale
as things are measured on this front,
and does not suggest hurry on the part
Of the allied command to reach a par.
ticular destination.
IF the commander's purpose re-
quired speed mpre guns would be
needed for by comparison with past
fighting the present operations might

1T has been bitter as possible and
the Americans have won imperishable
laure!s in it. but the scale OF fighting
would not entitle one to expect greater
progress from 1t. 1t would be mis-
take to suppose that the great strug-
gle Is producing inadequate results.
