TANKS WORK HAVOC
MANY GERMANS TAKEN BY SUR PRISE FALL EASY PREY TO BRI- TIsH INFANTRY, REINFORCED BY TANKS, ARMoRED CARS AND PLANES

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY
 IN FRANCE. Aug. 21 (By the As

 ow's seventeenth army during the
 heavy fog at dawn today on
 front of more than ten miles, ex-
 tending from the Ancre river 10
 MOyenneville, the British have
 made steady progress. capturing
 villages. taking guns and inflicting
 heavy casualties.
 Coming on the heels of the battle south of the SOmme. the scene of which virtually adjoins this field. .he blow exploits the confusion created among the German forces.
 Heavy fighting has occurred along the embankment of the AfbertArras railroad. which. although well within the German lines seems to have been easily reached by the stOrming British infantrymen, assisted by tanks. It was from this embankment that the Germans. armed with countless ma chine guns, fired a rain of bullets but while they were doing it they must have suffered severely not only from machine gun fire but from shells for the British guns moved up closely in the rear of the infantrymen from their flank. where the big British guns hurled in an avalanche of steel from the north.
 As is inevitable when a battle rages with such intensity as along this em- bankment. the exact situation is ob-
  that the British have broken down the German reserves when the battle be- have passed through to the eastern side. Behind the embankment there may not have been a great force of German reserves when the battl be- gun. but by this time the harassed enemy certainly is rushing men to the scene as fast as they can for an- other disaster threatens him.
 The battle opened with a sudden crash of guns of all calibers just as day was breaking. Great pillows of thick fog such as are seen only on this side of the Atlantic, hung over the scene. The intantrymen and tank crews could scarcely see a hundred feet ahead of them and the flare of countless blazing cannon was smOthe<- ed with explosions from their mouths rolled up into a continuous deadening roar.
 The fog was most favorable to the attacking formations. for it effectively them from the eyes of the en- emy and at the same time caused the Germans opposite to believe that the attack was not directly against them. 'The guns sounded a long way off" said one of the early prisoners. ''so we ourselves that we were not to be attacked Just then a tank. by infantry rolled risht over our position and surrendered.
 As tanks and men followed behind the sweeping baTrage. the atmosphere became even more thick. for mixed with the fog were greht banks or

 Summarizing the results of recent operation, he pointed out that the Elan ders salient had been flattened by the enemy retiring from one to two miles on a IA mile front; on the plains of Rove the line had been put well back of the old 1916-1917 line and between the Aisne and the Disc the French have carried the line forward four miles to the plains surrounding the city of Noyon, which is only four miles beyond.

CRy Review Leased wlrel

A CANADIAN ATLANTIC PORT. Aug. 21.-The operations of the steam trawler Triumph, manned by a crew from a German submarine. have re- suited in the sinking of four fishing vessels and probably others, according to reports at hand tonight. Schoon- CTS known to have been sunk are the Una P. Saunders and the Lucille Sehnare of Lunenburg, N. S., the A. Piatt Andrew of Gloucester, Mass, and the Francis J. O'Hara of Boston. Their crews, numbering eighty in all, had reached port safely tonight
 A fifth vessel. the Pasedena, was in sight when the Lucille Schnare was sent down and it was believed that she shared the fate of the other fish ermen, although no direct news of her had been received. Great anxiety was felt here also regarding other vessels of tn fishing fleet known to have been within the scene of the raiders activ- ity.
 The Triumph, which left Porlatnd, Maine, last Monday for the western banks, was captured by a German sub marine at D. m. yesterday. A crew of sixteen men was placed on board and they lost no time in arming her with two guns and beginning their work of havoc. among the fishermen.

Meanwhile outside the Union coun-

NEW MEXlCO'S ". s. $. QUOTA
FAR FROM BEING COMPLETED

East Las Vegas, n. NJ, July3l.-
New Mexico on July 26th owned APP
proximately 100000 of War Savings
stamps, or about one-tenth of of our
quota for 1918. The total owned and
pledged in this state on the same date
was S2,25l. ll.69, or about one-third
OF the years quota. Only one county
Luna, has reached its quota in stamps
owned and pledged, although complete
reports from other counties, it is ex-
pected, will show several more near or
over the quotas.
These facts were brought out at "a
conference here last week between
State War Savings director. Hallett
Reynolds, and X. p. Swofford, of
Washington, ID. c., member of the Ma
tional Wal Savings committee, who is
now touring the country on inspection
OF War Savings work in the various
states, encouraging backward states
and making plans for next years war
savings campaign.
MIR. Swofford does not regard New
Mexico AS one of the backward states
in War Savings. There are other and
far richer states. he says, which have
not done as well. But he made an
urgent plea to all War Savings work
ers, and particularly to county War
Savings chairman, to get behind the
state director in vigorous work for the
remainder of the year.
with one-third of your states an
nual quota owned and pledged" said
Mr.. Swofford, you can easily make
the balance in the remaining months
of the year, provided your work is or
ganized and persistent. The War
Savings work differs from the Liberty
Bond campaign in that it is persistent
and never ends, while the Liberty
Bond drive is over after three or four
strenuous weeks. Our work reaches a
far larger number of people. There
are 100000 0 War Savers in the Unit
ed States now. II is something to be
one of that vast army, and an honor
to be n of its leaders. 1t is a grown
mans job and one in which every stay
at-home American should be actively
engaged"

STATE POLITICAL DOINGS
