THIEVES BUSY IN
LONDON ON FIRST
"COP-LESS" NIGHT

London. Aug Considera BILE
lawlessDess marked the first night
passed by London without police
protection During the earlier
hours of the morning there were
some harmless demonstrations, but
later on the thieves became active
and daylight found a number of
windows of jewelry shops and 9th
er places of business broken and
considerable property stolen.
This was particularly true in
such centers at the Strand. Aldgate
and other busy streets. which are
usually so well guarded that shop
keepers leave their goods on view
during the night. Some OF these
places were entirely without civil
ian police protection last night.
There were few military police
about. includ ng Americans, but
they devoted their attention entire
" to their own men. and even II
they had. tried would not have been
able to cope with the thieves. who

He was unable. however, to arrest
the progress OF the allies. At the
northern end General Horne and
General Byng gained important
ground for future operations by
taking BulleCourt, the most solid
position in that sector. tLast
nights British official statement ad-
mitted that British troops had been
forced TO fall back to the western
outskirts of Bullecourt.)
General Mangin attacked the
southern end of the line. The reg
ION in which he is fighting forms an
elbow where the line running from
Dunkirk to Noyon meets a line run

to Nancy. This hinge" position Is
exceptionally strong since it is

ette to the north.
There are wooded ranges Of hills
IN this St. Gobain country which
dominate Laon and a serious defeat
here would oblige the enemy TO
make a precipitate retreat and
force him to abandon not only the
line of the VesIe but the three lines
formed by the Aisne, the Chemin
Des Danes and the Ailette.
General Ludendorff in Gonse-
auence has thrown in the best di-
visions he can muster. These are
Alpine regiments, Prussian guards
and picked Bavarian and Saxon
units.
General Mangin has in his com
mand some of the finest American
divisions, together with French and
colonial troops The. fighting dur
ing the last Az hours has equaled in
ferocity anything as yet seen during
the war. Nevertheless the enemy
had to give way and the Franco
American forces have won half the
plateau between Soissons and the
Coucv-le-Chateau. The Scissors
Coucy and the oissons-Anizy-le-
Chateau roads are threatened and
the Germans are faced by the dan
ger of the French getting behind
the Chcmin- n-des-Dames, in their
rear
Conservative military opinion
here views the situation with great
satisfaction. 1t is felt the Germans
DELAYED their retreat too long and
that they are lighting so hard and
sacrificing men to gain time be
cause the Hindenburg line is not
yet ready.
In any ease that famous position
is not believed to be such solid
rampant as il was when first made
a year ago. when the works were
new and well kept up and were sol
idly garrisoned by troops with. un-
impaired morale. They still are q
formidable obstacle but everything
depends on the condition they are
in and also the state of the troops
that will fall back into them.
