The German defense was Stiffening
this morning in the region southwest
of Noyon, but the French neverthe-
less gained a stronger foothold or
the heights of Thiescourt.
There are indications that Won
Hutier is organizing line of resis-
tance on the general front OF Roye,
Lassigny and Noyon to protect the
withdrawal of the great masses of
munitions and supplies gathered just
to the rear and to ease up a retreat
which is becoming more difficult to
keep in hand.
How Allied Line Runs.
At noon today the allied line was
as follows, starting from the north:
West of Meaulte, which is still in
German hands; thence to Etinehem.
Framerville and Lihons. which still
are German; Hallu station (the Ger
mans hold Hallu); Parvillers. L'Ech-
ellie and Armancourt, both of the lat
ter still being German; and thence
through Tilleley Park and through
the station of Roye-sur-Matz 10
Moreuil-La Motto to Samson and
Machemont, from which it joins the
line on the Oise.
In the area before Vauvillers the
enemy had been supported by heavy
artillery, but further southwark the
French First and Third armies have
advanced slightly, and in this neigh
borhood the Germans do not appear
to be too we'll supplied with artillery.
Large fires and long transport col
umns in the enemy's large back areas
tend to strengthen the belief that his
heavy counter attacks against the
British are intended to afford him
time to evacuate his stores.
The allied casualties in the last two
days of fighting were comparatively
light because the allies virtually ran
through the German positions. But
since Saturday the fighting has been
of a more severe character

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. ll.-A letter
written by President Wilson to

ing with the senatorial race in this
state, was made public tonight.
The communication was in reply to
a letter written by Mr.. Howell ask
ing the president to take the
people into his confidence and give
them the benefit of your view of the
situation"
The president in his reply said
that he had supposed the people of
Georgia fully understood his atti-
tude that he never would undertake
to dictate to the voters of any state
the choice they should make, but
would not hesitate to give his views
when they were sought.
Senator Hardwick has been

jealous of the reputation of the

ernment in the present crisis is to

Allied Airmen Discover Ger.
mans Stringing Barbed
Wire Opposite Lines
Near Fismes,

With the American Army on
the Vesle, Aug. 11.-Allied
aviators have reported that
the Germans are digging in op-
posite the Franco-American
line along the Vesle.. The OBJ
servers also have reported that
the enemy is stringing barbed
wire along the hills northwest
Of Fismes.
Allied officers express the
belief that the Germans will
not give ground here unless
deliberately pushed off the
plateau.
1t was learned from German prison.
ers that an old quarry near Longueval,
large enough to conceal two regi-
ments, was being used as refuge
for troops at rest. The Franco-Amer-
ican heavy artillery shelled the cave
all day Saturday and the Germans
were finally compelled to abandon it.
Fighting Continues at Fismes.
The Germans made two artillery at
tacks against the Franco-American
troops on the Vesle front, but the
allied troops counter attacked so Wig
orously that the Germans did not
launch an infantry attack.
The struggle for the retention Of
Fismette, on the northern bank of
the Vesle near Fismes, has developed
virtually into a continuous fight. The
Americans, however, are holding the
upper hand, notwithstanding the
German attempts to dislodge them.
German Aids Americans.
In the region of Fismette the Amer
leans Friday captured a 23-year-old
German from a regiment that had
been in the front line for only a day.
He pointed out snipers and machine
gun nests and the artillery soon wiped
them out. This German assisted the
Americans in caring for the wounded,
on several occasions going into the
open and bringing in injured men de-
spite the German fire.
Tile German was wounded this aft
ernoon by a German machine gun
bullet. He was taken to a hospital,
where the bullet hole in his hip was
attended to.
A wounded private from Fismette
said about 50 German prisoners in a
cellar in Fismette were killed by a
German gas attack Friday nightEThey
had lost their gas masks.
The Germans are using gas lavishly
in all their attacks and the French
and Americans are reciprocating with
gas projectiles in profusion.
The Americans hold the outskirts
of Fismette. There also are many
troops within the village.
First Field Army Organized.
With the American Army in France,
Aug. 1.-THE first American field
army has been arganized. 1t is under
the direct command OF Gen. John ].
Pershing, commander in chief of
the American forces. The corps COM
manders thus far announced are Ma
jor Generals Liggett, Bullard, Bupdy,
Reed and Wright.
This does not mean the immediate
withdrawal from the British and
French commands of all American
units, and it is probable that divi-
sions will be used on the French and
British fronts for weeks yet.
1t is understood, however, that the
policy of organizing other armies will
be carried out steadily. "

Many hours ago the British. French
and American troops had reached

mans before their retirement to the

What Harry Sommers Thinks
About Re.Electing Ollie James.

The Lexington newspapers
grow disconsolate over the show
ing made by Kentucky's two
United States senators, and
begin their campaign to secure
better representation for the
state by launching a boom for
Judge Charles Kerr of Fayelte
county, to succeed Senator
James. Judge Kerr is a repub-
lican, and a man of ability and
character, but we believe that at
this time it would be something
close to a national misfortune to
defeat Senator James.
There has hardly within our
recollection been a senator into
whose first term has been crowd
ei more valuable services than
Ollie M. James. He has meas
urtd up to every opportunity
offered to him, and by his sound
support OF the President on
every domestic and foreign
policy, his services have received
a generous recognition at the
White House rs in the country
at large. A ready debater. he
won his spurs early in the Wilson
administration in a tilt with the
recalcitrant Louisiana senator's
on the question of free sugar,
and since that day when the
President wanted to squelch an
opposition, sometimes sneaking,
sometimes contemplate. and
sometimes disloyal, he has invar-
iably called on Ollie M. James.
1t was always done well.
The views of the News and
Senator James are far apart on
some questions. but at a time
when our national security over
shadows every other considera.
ton we cannot afford to swap
the ability, patriotism and tain
ing of Senator James for a man
that is untlied and unproven.
