Four weeks ago today
Marsnai
Foch took the initiative In tne west-
em side of the Marne salient ana a
week ago the French and British hit
the German lines east ana soutneast
of Amiens. In the four weeks the
Allies have reclaimed nearly 1,800
square miles of territory, improvea
their positions to the detriment of the
enemy, freed the important railways
running east and north from Paris
and unofficially have captured 73,000
prisoners and 1,700 guns. These are
the physical gains, the future holds
the others.
Many army officers In Washington
expect that a new drive shortly will
be made against the enemy. Fland
ers or the aera between the Oise and
Solssons are believed to be the most
likely fields of action
Along the Vesle the French and
Americans are being subjected to
bombardments from German airmen
as well as from the enemy guns.
There has been no infantry action. In
Lorraine American patrols have
brought back prisoners from the
enemy trenches.
Allied airmen Tuesday put out of
action 43 German machines, 21 of
which were destroyed. Attacks on
railway stations, airdromes, ammunW
tlon dumps and other military tar
gets continue without a letup,
American aviators also have bombed
railway stations in the area between
Verdun and Metz.
It is reported that the Soviet troops
are retiring from Moscow. The rea
son for the movement is not disclosed.
Premier Lenine and Foreign Minis
ter Trotsky were reported several

STIR GERMANS
London, Aug. 15 One of the most
significant features of the aerial
bombing offensive of the British is
the load resconse It has elicited from
the German people, say British news-
papers.
The bombing of England brought
n0 complaint, but onlv renewed reao
lutions from the British people; yet
Germany, suffering from the first pre-
nminary Bangs of the British attacks,
at once began to crv out against It,
an(j protest unon protest is pouring
int0 the German authorities from the
populace of the different areas attack
ed.
This means that the British bomb
ing offensive is effective, that far-
reaching destruction has been caused
to railway junctions and factories.
and that the Germans claim that
British raids have accomplished noth-
ing serious have been untrue.
Details of the damage caused by the
British raids can easily be suppressed
by the German censorship, but the
voice of the German people cannot
permanently be strlfled, and it is as
serted there is abundant photographic
and captured documentary evidence
that their fears are based upon real
execution done.
