The (iermans, having materially strengthened their lines, are putting up a desper ate resistance from the Sommc north and between the south bank of the Somme and Koye. On the southern end of the line, however, the French made very important gains, advancing to positions between the Matz and the Oise Rivers that make further gains almost a certainty and give promise that t he objectives on this section of the front will be" reach ed. These arc Lassigny and Noyons, the capture of which will prob ably force the evacuation of the entire Noyon-Koye-Chaulnes line and force a general withdrawal to the old llindenburg line, from which the (icrman offensive was launched last March. The battlcline in the north and the center remains practically unchanged since Monday.

ATTACKED ALONO TWENTY MILES The Allies launched a general renewal of their attack yesterday morning along a twenty-mile front, from C'baalnes south to the Oise, their first assault resulting in vital gain by the French in the key sector of the outhern line, around Lasaigny. At this section of the front, by the afternoon, the Frearh j had won the entire," Massif -Lassigny line, the southern end of the Picardy front, their new line giving them command of the town of Lassigny and the v vmlier of the Divett end placing them in v position t "dominate the entire I,,', district north as far as Roye.

On their part of the front, the British made local gain during the early part of the day, meeting heavy resistance.- Along th north bank of the Somme ' . in the Bray section and south of the Homme in the neighborhood of Roye some substantial progress was early recorded, while German counter jst Foqueacourt were held and repulsed. -.

Man Who Saw Kamehameha Dies A t Hundred Sixteen After spending 11(1 summers in the Kona district Jvfantiniu, an Hawaiian who has always appeared to be old, died on Angust ft at Keokea, Kona, says the Hilo Tribune. The old man was taken suddenly and was ill for no length of time. That Mauumu could lay claim to the ripe old age of lift years is the belief of men and women who have known him for the past fifty years. These Hawaiian declare that when they were little children he was a very old man and their parents used to tell them that "Uncle" Mannmu was at that time known to be at least seventy. At any rate, nobody in Kau doubts that V a nu inn was lift at the time of his death. The old men could rot be prevailed upon to tslk much, but when he did, he spoke piio. iislly of things that hippeneil when he was just about at tniniug manhood. He remembered the reiun of Kamehameha and the first missionaries who rsme to this island. laud he used to relate how the "long SERVE IN ARMY CITIZENSHIP IS GRANTED ALIENS TO A PACIKH COAST MILITARY CAMP, August 13 (Official )--Four hundred forty five aliens have been grunted citizenship in order to serve in the I'nited States army.
