THE 26TH NOT LIKELY TO RETURN
EARLY.

If, as reported, the 26th division is a
part of the army Of occupation which is
now proceeding into German territory to
maintain the terms of the armistice,
there seems to be diminishing chance
that the Goth division viii be back in the
United States by New Years, as has
been intimated might be possible. The
army of occupation has started on a long,
as well as a difficult, task and the time
for its return to French territory is at
best predetermined, while the time for its
voyage across the ocean is even further
from actual determination. We people
Of New England might as well resign
ourselves to the probability that the
boys will not be home by New Years,
We presume that the boys themselves
have long since schooled their minds to
the idea that their stay in Europe viii
extend considerably into the year 1919;
and we doubt not that, much as they
would like to be back home at New
Years, they will prefer to stick to the
job until complete job is done That is
what they went over for and they are
not likely to be swerved from that pur-
pose through personal feelings. There
fore, in writing letters to the members
Of the division it would be well, perhaps,
not to say much about the boys being
home by New Years. Such train Of cor
respondence might prove to be rather in
imical to the morale of the best soldiers.
The United States government viii bring
them home at the very earliest opportu-
nifty, for the 26th division has done a
powerful work in western Europe and
has won an early reward.

No less than five men have been men

venes next January. The announcing of
these names brings out the fact that few
veterans of acknowledged skin in legisla-
tive matters have been chosen for the
1919 session Of the legislature. Usually
there are several men, any one of whom
has been considered as highly acceptable
speakership material.

The promptness with which Germany
began dumping prisoners on the allies
shows that the spirit Of self preservation
of the Germans is still strong. They are
going to shift as much responsibility as
they can from their own shoulders and
multiply the burdens of the allies; in
other words, they are going to feed
themselves and let their enemies take
care of the hundreds Of thousands Of
men who have been performing labor for
the German industries for varying pc.
riods during the past four and one-quar-
fer years. OF course, it was to be ex-
pected that Germany would release her
prisoners under the terms Of the armi-
stice but it was scarcely expected there
would be such deluge Of WORKOUT, fam
ished humanity thrust upon the allies.

pointed out the progress made by the
Allies since the offensive began in July.
One correspondent having referred to
the French soldiers, the Marshal said:
You may say anything you like about
them. Whatever you say will never be
too much. They are going on without
respite, without relief and without rest.
We can ask anything Of them; they are
always ready to 60 on

Asked concerning prospects for the fu-

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY AT THE
FRONT, Aug. 23,-The Germans have
brought up reenforcements and are re-
sisting violently in the region Of Roye,
where, however. the French have made
additional slight progress north and
south Of the town. South of the Oise
Gen. Mangin is continuing his advance.
Gen. Humbert now has before him on
his right the system Of wooded ridges
fifteen miles long and three wide which
stretches along the north side Of the Disc
Valley from Lassigny to four miles
north Of Chauny.
Gen. Mangin. on the other hand. Is
confronted by a formidable massif COM
posed OF the forests of Coucy and st.
Gobain. His front commands the whole
road on the enemy's side OF the river
between Doyon and Chaudy and the
greater part of the road between Chaudy
and Scissors.
What is to come next lies in the hands
of Marshal Foch. In other words. al
tHou6h lic poSllloi VA kHC Aioiit tStN -
the same as 1t was four months ago the
military situation is entirely different
because we instead of the Germans are
advancing and have the initiative.
The result Of the combined efforts OF
Marshal Foch, Gen. Mangtn and Gen
Humbert in the last few days Is a won-
derful record. The timing of the two
operations has been superb; each sep
arate part OF the advance has moved
with the regularity OF clockwork at just
the right moment. patiently when there
was need of patience, swiftly when speed
was the essential factor. but always ir-
resistibly.
After Gen. Humbert had overrun nearly
the whole network OF ridges between the
Matz. the Oise and the Divette. he
waited until Gen. Mangin had swept
up the Oise before he attacked, first ar
Lassigny and then at lie Plemont, and
so occupied tho whole massif When he
did attack. both places fell. not to from
tai assaults but by encirclement.
At the same time. Gen. Mangin's ad-
vance not only to the Oise but along II
up to the Ailette puts him on the south
flank Of the difficult country north OF
the Oise between Noyon and Chauny
ready II necessary to. combine with any
turning movement that may be made
upon II from the north.
The master stroke of Gen. Mangin's
advance was the extraordinarily neat
way in which he began by two innocent
, looking operations on small fronts
which disposed OF a third Of the force
opposed to him before the battle began
at hardly any cost to his own army. A,
the same time this gave HIM a position
from which he was able to expand his
front and straighten It in such a way
as to turn the enemy's right and force
| him to retire from the two forests be-
tween Pontoise and Pimprez.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE,
Aug. 23.-The whole British front now
Is ablaze from four miles south Of
Arras to six miles below the Somme,
almost to Lihons. Roughly the dis
tance is twenty eight miles. and it is
now all battle front Everywhere. ex-
cept in local counter attacks, it is we
who are on the offensive; the Ger
mans everywhere are being beaten
back.
At all points large captures Of pris-
oners are reported to total Of sew
eral thousands. On the greater part
Of the front English troops are doing
the fighting. but the Australians also
are at work with unusually brilliant
success. Airplanes and tanks. where
the ground permits, are cooperating
in the fighting.
The fighting is not SO much one
continuous flame as q succession OF
attacks in which the enemy's atten-
ton is fixed first at one point and
then at another until ALL the sputter-
ing activities are merged into one
grand confiasration.
Dovecets BritisA Again.
In the hshting from Moyenneville to
Beaucourt the total number OF prison
ers taken in that area exceeds 5000.
On this front the chief fighting in the
last twenty-four hours has been the
result Of German counter attacks west
Of Achiet-le-Grand and around Merau-
mont. The poor. harried Dovecote again
has changed hands twice. and once
more rests IN our possession. IL the
word rest can be applied to a spot con-
tinuously gassed, shelled and fought
over.
To the right of this area we made
useful gain, pushing across the difficult
ground of the Ancre Valley between
Grandcourt and Thiepval and clearing
out the German system OF trenches there.
Yesterday evening We went through
the town OF Albert. in which and It's en-
virons 700 prisoners we're taken. They
were captured in scattered. separate
posts, so that the whole place had to be
mopped up in detail. The attack ex-
tended southwark nearly to Bray. We
have taken Meaulte and all the German
positions as far as the Albert-Bray road.
The Germans last evening counter at
tackled strongly and succeeded in MAX
ing us fall back to Happy Valley. north
of Bray, but the ground which counts,
namely the Albert -Meaulte high pla-

We next flung ourselves last night
against Gomiecourt, north of Achiet-le-
Grand and before dawn the place was

falling in the ruined village. while our
