the Scottish division which participant
ed with the French and the Ameri-
cans in the attack on the western
pivot of the German line below Sois-
sons.
This division, composed of famous
highland and lowland regiments, en-
tered the line to relieve an American
division. 1t took its place on the
front after three days and nights of
incessant travelling In lorries and
march of ten miles with full packs.
The Scots Immediately launched an
attack and drove back the Germans on
their front.
The conduct Of the division has
called forth high praise from the
French general.
The American troops. although
thoroughly fatigued from many days
Of constant fighting. lent their artil
lery to the support of the Scotch, who
some days later, in conjunction with
the French. attacked and took Blu

Paris. Aug. I'm an advance OF
about two miles on the Aisne-Mafne
front, the allied troops reached era
moiselle and Cramaille on the south
western part of the salient, capturing
600 prisoners.
The allies delivered a new stroke
over ten-mile front between BuZan-
cy. about four miles south of SCISSORS,
to Seringes. north of Fere-en-Tarde-
nois The result was considerable
advance and the wiping out OF the
elbow in the line at Oulchy-le-Cha-
teau, according to advices to the
London Evening Standard.
Hill POS, to the east of Grand Ro-
10Y, is said to lie in the allies hands,
which means an important step for
ward in the direction of Fismes, on
the Vesle. From Hill 205 the citadel
Of Fismes is visible. Cramoiselle, a
village some four miles northwest of
re-en-Tardenois, also was captur-
ed
the americans have occupied the
whole of Meuniere wood, southeast of
Cierges.
The allies also made progress in
the direction of yille-en-Tardenois.
The operation between Buzancy and
Fere-en- Tardenois is designed to turn
the lower half of the German right
between scissors and Fere-en-Tarde-
nois. Success would automatically
force the Germans to give up their
horizontal line between Fere-en-Tar-
denois and Ville-en-Tardenois and
might compel also an abandonment
Of their left
From Buzancy the allies have held
positions running in a Southerly di-
rection closely following the course of
the Scissors Chateau Thierry high
road. At Grand Rozoy, about two
miles north of Oulchy-le-Chateau, the
line bent sharply to the east, running
north of Fere- -Tardenois to the viii
lage Of Nesles, where it turns south
past Meuniere forest.
The gain made by the allies, accord
ing to the report, has not only wiped
out the elbow In the line above Oul-
chy-le- Chateau, but has accentuated
the plight in which the Germans in
Roncheres and ST. Gemme find them
selves. To the northeast of Grand
Rozoy is high ground which dominates

you do that. And if you don't wish to

can't do that because you haven't any

And what do you think? The idea
doesn't come at all, or when it does
come it's been such a long time COM

means a rhyme. So you're poet with
