The Great War?1469th Day said to have been counted on Saturday. Trench mortars also have como up, and it was reported that two German tanks had appeared behind the lines at Quesnoy. The approaches to Royo are being heavily held by the enemy. Fo? in Danger at Royo Tihe brilliant storming of Goyen court, to the northwest of Roye, by in? fantry and cavalry on Sunday morn? ing, however, is pointed to by the cor? respondent s\z complicating the German defence of Roye, while near Chaulnes, he reports, the opposing troops are looking at each other across the No Man's Land of the old lattlelines. The.so lines und the country about Goyencourt, he continues, are often im? passable to cavalry becau e of the old ?hell holes and trenches, even the con? crete pill boxea being still in existence in this region. "Sn-'ezir:;; gas was ussd against us at Veauvillers yesterday for the iirst time Bin?e the attack," the correspondent goes on. "The old viro across the fields drove some of our cavalry on to the road southward of Goyencourt and they were checked by concentrated ma? chine gun lire." Big Enemy Losses The correspondent specifies some of the German divisions that suffered most heavily. The 5th Bavarian Di? vision, for instance, was hurried from Arras to Lihons and was overrun by the advance, losing so many in killed and prisoners within an hour or two of its arrival that it was of little use afterward. The 41st Division no longer exists, the writer reports, and some of the smaller units were annihilated. Prison? ers to the number of 528 were taken ? from the 28th Infantry Regiment, and its two remaining companies, kept, in reserve, were surprised later in Framerville and all killed or captured. The 2-l3d Division was thrown in north of the Somme, just too late to check the British rush through the woods, and many from it were capt? ured. Among the items captured here j was a box that contained 450 iron crosses for distribution. Poor Roads Block Advance Reuter's correspondent on the French front under date of Sunday attributes the slower rate of progress on Satur? day than cr. the first two days less to the resistance of the enemy than to the ! fact that thf roads over which the Al? lies must advance are so encumbered with abandoned material and trees, which the enemy felled in great num? bers acrcss the read', that the progress of the cavalry and ir.iar.try has bt>:-r. impeded. This is not so much or. their own account, but owir.g to the diffi? culties met by the ammunition and sup? ply columns which followed thtrr.. On the other hand, he adds, thf enemy's haste prevented the mining of ', roads and the setting of death trap as he did in 1917. It is possible, there fore, to explore abandoned towns an villages without fear of being blown t pieces. New French Army in Line The entry of the French Third Armj under General Humbert, Into the but tie on tho line south of tho origina front of the Allied attack and th strengthening of the German resist anee are regarded by th<; commentator :n the morning newspapers as the tw< outstanding features of the Franco British offensive during the week-end The brilliant and rapid stroke o the French Third Army is recognize< fully, and important results aro ex pectad from it, Tho German reactioi had been foreseen, und tho com mentatora at present see nothing in it as a cause for anxiety. Nevertheless a warning is again raised against over confidence and exaggerated anticipa? tions. It is recalled that General Man gin on the Marne turned tho Germa:: offensive into a defeat, and that the British victory at Cambrai last Novem oer was converted into a grave re verso. Germans Not Defeated What happened before conceivably may happen again, suys "The Daily Mail," and the same note is struck elsewhere. Even If General Ludendorff cannot regain the offensive this year, ho can, it ia contended, put up a very stubborn defence. Accordingly, it is held, it behooves the Allies to go warily, remembering there still are difficult corners to be passed. Sanguine reports of the capture of Chaulnes and Roye seem to have been examples of the tendency in some quarters to imagine that the progress is faster th:ni it is in face of the stiffening enemy resistance. Those places still are apparently in German hands, thoxigh their fall seems possibly not far off. On the whole, however, the situation is regarded as extremely fa? vorable for the Allies. Progress Satisfactory "The Daily News" ?ays that the Al? lied progress continues to exceed every ieasonabl'3 hope, and thinks that the coming month may hold possibilities of changing the whole face of the war. "The Times." while emphasizing the German reaction and predicting that ih<V position become more stationary, doubts nevertheless whether the Ger? mans will remain long on the present front. It believes they can hardly ex? pect any extensive recovery of the ground they have lost. ,;The Daily Mail" describes as ar. event of historic importance the entry into the fight of the America^, troops north of the Somme. It says they won the admiration cf the most famous British regiments.

This bombing has been going on day and night since the battle began, forcing the Germans to divert their transport, so that the general movement was southeast. Now his bridges to the southeast are under heavy fire. At many places along the new front, especially just south of the Somme, the Germans are occupying the old dug? outs built by the French more than I two years ago. The Germans have I concentrated some artillery at many j places and to-day are sending in more : chclis than on any day since the bat? tle began. Lihons, which came into , British hands yesterday when Field ? Marshal Haig's men stormed the place I after having been driven out in a ccun ? ter attack, was being heavily shelled to-day. Pillboxes Halt Cavalry A party of cavalry charging down I the Roye road ran into the cross fire of large German pillboxes studded with ' machine guns just this side of Roye and received a check, but the Germans who happened to get the opportuni?y to do this execution paid the extreme pen? alty later. To-day the resistance by the enemy has been stitfening progressively, but his troops appear to be nervous and apprehensive of what the future holds out for them and what the Allies in? tend to do. In order to feel out the Allied forces, it is expected that fur ther heavy counter attacks may be launched by the enemy. Stories of the air fighting over the battle lines are amazing. One ob? server, coming into his station, shot down four machines. In the same fight? ing, a British pilot chased one enemy 'plane to earth and was swooping down to finish off his antagonist when the man climbed out of his machine and held up his hands in token of sur render. Spared German's Life "So T didn't kill hirn," the British pil( t Baid. "But on my way homo I met a group of enemy machines and got a bullet in me, hut managed to land inside our lines."

He brought it to earth, where it crashed, ; but both the occupants escaped death. Another pilot, during the course of a fight, started for home, wounded. When ten feet above the ground in? side his own lines he collapsed from loss of blood. There are dozens of thrilling tales cf how machine after machine, skim? ming close to the ground, fired point blank into bodies of enemy troops, kill? ing a great many, despite the ?re from the ground, and how they wiped out the crews of enemy machine guns held- \ ing up the Allied advance. They also effectively attacked the poorly con structed German tanks before they ever had a chance to get into action. Prisoners from fresh Prussian and Eavarian divisions have been captured in the last few hours. The morale of these men is extremely low, a great many of them expressing the opinion that Germany, twice badly beaten in recent weeks and perhaps having fur? ther defeats in store for her, is on the down grade, headed for defeat. French families who for months have ! been refugees from their homes in. this district are now returning when? ever possible. Many, of course, will f.r.d their homes, but others which were within the range of the Germ a r. g-ar.s before the Allied offensive wc.-u knocked -co pieces by shell?rc. Ir. yesterday's f.ghtiag the Frenck added two thousand prisoners and move than thirty guns to their capt? ures. First Phase Near End The battle appears to be approaching the end of the first phase, with the lines steadily h?rJmin? en the front, speaking generally, that the Germans held before they retired to the Hin denbnrg line. It is true that slight advances are being made here and there along the front, and local battles, brought on by enemy counter attacks, have been and are being fought. The Allied forces, however, having gained a great success, seem to be pausing, at least for the moment. The assistance that has been ren? dered by the Americans in this fight? ing has been comparatively small, but nevertheless important, for they have captured and held positions strongly defended by the enemy at one of the most difficult points in the line Lt a time when the German resistance here was threatening to hold up the left flank of the advance. Men in Need of Rest It must be understood that hard fighting like that in which the Allies have been engaged since Thursday can? not go on indefinitely without giving the troops opportunity for rest.

Extremely bitter resistance is being encountered from the Germans along the line of Chaulnes-Roye-Noyon. The enemy is bringing up strong reinforce? ments, while the Allies are preparing for a further advance. The Germans are reacting on the Al? lied left with a certain amount of suc cess, having had time to get into line divi tons rushed frantically from the north. It is believed here the fresh troops are being thrown into the fight in a desperate endeavor to block the Allied advance toward Nesle. General von Huticr, who escaped with much damage from the Mont didior pocket, is now trying to halt, temporarily, on the Roye-Noyon line. Me is strong enough at the Noyon end, where his flank rests on the Oise, but should the British succeed in debouch? ing from tho villager of Lihons, Chilly, Fransart. Fresnoy and Goyencourt in the general direction of Nesle, von Hutier's right at Rove would not only be turned but he would be cut off and hopelessly lost. The entire line, it is believed here, would then go down. Should von Hutier succeed in hold? ing on sufficiently to get his guns and material away, his next move probably would be back toward the Somme, pivoting on Noyon. lie would swing his right back on the line of Nesle and Noyon.

Their losf-es are extremely heavy and their dead lie all over the field. They are found in shell holes and nooks, ? where they vainly sought protection fromtthe French 'ire. Among them are. some survivors, who are found in every possible hiding place. Privations were endured by the Ger? mans in the front line recently. This was picturesquely evidenced by a let? ter found since the offensive began. It was from an officer who informed his ? i elat i ves in Germany that the French artillery had been furnishing the only meat avail; ble by killing horses. An? other officer wrote with pride and satisfaction that he was able to send along with his message of love apd hope a sack of wheat he had just gleaned from an adjoining field.

Americans on Vesle Line Beat Off Raid Against Fismette WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE VESLE FRONT, Aug. 12,-The Germans are shelling the Vesle front spasmodically, their heavy guns ap? parently being concentrated in turn on ; certain targets. St. Thibaut, Mont Notre Dame and Fismea have been chiefly chosen. A real attempt to feel out the Allied strength has taken the form of an at? tack at. Fismette, a little village north? west of Fismos. This, however, was a failure, as the American shooting was bo good that not a single man was Military Comment By William L. McPherson ] Copyrlsht, 1918, by The Tribune Assoclatlcn | f"A OCH'S two offensives have i been marked by efficiency i and economy. He has achieved large results at a minimum of cost. He has compelled the en? emy to fight at a disadvantage, in I the Marne salient he exerted just the- pressure necessary to keep the i C rewn Prince of Prussia's armies mcving north toward the Vesle. With inferior forces he compelled he retreat of superior forces. In the Picardy offensive Foch had ? a superiority in numbers at the start. He wiped out the M?ntdidier salient with surprising ease and at a very moderate price in casualties. Now the German reserves have come upon the old German trench lines of 1914-'16. They are trying to cover Ludendorff's second retreat by heavy counter attacks. They are paying a heavy toll in these; for the counter attack which only holds the advanc? ing enemy for a few hours is one of the most expensive of operations. It sacrifices men for time. Foch is not wasting strength at? tacking the German lines where they are strongest. He is holding firm there and pushing ahead where weak points are discoverable. His policy for the last two days has been the favorite German policy of infiltra? tion. Thus the line from Lihons half way down to Rove, where the Crown Prince of Bavaria has been throwing in reserves, has remained a'most stationary. But in the region about Poye there have been slight gain?, and further south the envel? opment of Lassigny is proceeding very satisfactorily. Also on the north and south banks of the Somme the British are getting forward steadily in the direction of P?ronne In the loops of the Somme Rivei the Allied advance was much slower at the beginning of the drive thar it was up the Luce and Avre val? leys, further to the south. The British were held up at Chipilly, or the north bank, for two days. Now with the assistance of America! troops, they have reached the out skirts of Bray, on the north bank and Proyart, on the south bank This brings the line up to a leve with Framerville, the furthest poin of penetration c . the first day fron the direction of Villers-Bretonneux Chaulnes is still strongly d?fende? by the enemy. But half way dowi between Chaulnes and Roye th French pushed forward yesterda; east cf Fouquescourt. They ar slowly closing in on Roye, although here, as well as at Chaulnes, th Germans have been making violen counter attacks. They have to hoi the Chaulnes-Roye lins in order t protect the German retirement from | the region about Lassigny. Fewer German reserves are being used in the south. Therefore Foch j is pressing the envelopment of Las? signy. On Sunday General Hum? bert's troops reached the neighbor? hood of Gury, about three miles southwest of Lassigny. Yesterday they took this village. They also occupied Roye-sur-Matz, three miles west of Lassigny. Yesterday after? noon they reached Les Loges, two miles southeast of Tilloloy, taken on Sunday, and only a mile west of the highroad between Lassigny and Roye. This brings them north of Lassigny. This southern base L now the weak spot in the German line of defence. Foch is trying to work in around and behind it, and so compel the evacuation of what is left of the Matz Valley salient, created by the Ludendorff drive of June 9 last. The terrain directly south of Lassigny is very difficult. It is hilly and wooded and contains the strong position of the Forest of Thiescourt. If Las? signy is enveloped the Germans will have to draw back from all this region toward Noyon. When Ludendorff pushed down th< Matz Valley in June to Ressons-sur Matz he outflanked the French posi tions on the west bank of the Oise north of the Matz. The French hat to retire as far south as Rib?court And that retirement left their posi tions on the east bank of the Ois' exposed to flank attack. So the, evacuated the Forest of Ourscamps which they had been able to hoi previously against all direct attack; Foch wants to regain this vain able position. Its retention by th Germans depends largely on thei ability to hold Lassigny. So th present operation at the lower end c the present German defensive lir has a bearing on the southern fror : as far east as Soissons.

Foch can afford to wait as he did on the Marne, after striking hard for three years. Unless Ludendorff can recover some ground, which is far from likely. Foch can sit tight and watch the enemj n>ake a considerable withdrawal. Having released Paris and Amiens Foch is no longer worried about terri' tory. His job now is to smash th< German arm;/. Unless Ludendorff make a general withdrawal, the Germans wil probably attempt to hold the lin< on the Vesle, which they strengthens considerably i nthe last fortnight. Rupprecht still has some fifteen divi sions in reserve and there are half ; score more on other fronts. The Kern mel attack was nothing more than a; attempt to improve a loca! position As details of the battle arrive the par that airmen are playing grows mor important.
