The Australians are fighting fur ther north, along the Somme. Small parties of Germans are re ported to be still in Rosieres, three and one-half miles west of Chaulnes but the British are all around them and their life as fighting men prob ably will be short. . The figure of 17,000 prisoners tak en embraces the number that had been counted. Of these the French reported that they had taken more than 4,000 while the British total at. noon was more than 13,000. The French have been doing good work today on the south of the new drive and probably have taken many addi tional prisoners there. to wheat t!:is fall. HOW AE0UT SOME FLAGS?

Up to three weeks ago for months the allies waited to see what the Germans were doing; wondered where they wr-uld strike next. Now it is the German who wonder? where the al lies will strike next. The war con tinue to be thus. Far more in value Close Up Salient. The present advance has already had an important effect upon the strategic situation. German forces at Montdidier are now in a very uncomfortable salient with only one line of railway to supply them and that line under crossfire from allied guns. It seems likely that a withdrawal from Montdidier may be necessary if the Germans cannot force the French and British back from the ground taken by them during the past two days. -T. H.

Smith, who fcr the past num ber of years has been making -hi3 home up near Wausa. was in Platts- J mouth last Friday evening, visiting a brother, and went from here to Murray, where he will spend a few days visiting with his mother and brothers. Fete has been very pros perous since moving to the northern part of the state, and has done quite well. He has grown good crops ev ery year, and this dry one will be no exception, so he says. His corn crop never looked better, and the day he came away they were enjoying a good rain.

Read the Joamal Ads It Pajx General Foch is taking the initiative which, with the help of American, French and Rritish trcops he will maintain. Certainly the sun shines on our side of the fence. Fcr the first time since Russia broke down the allies no whave a numerical superiority of the effectives. While for some little time the number of Americans in France have given our side the su periority as to actual numbers, the recent fighting has brought into line and support positions Americans in sufficient numbers the presence of whim, coupled with the German losses of the past month, have plac ed us in a position of superiority in men ready to fight. It cannot be said that the American army just now is as good a fighting machine as tlie Germans, but we have the makings all ready and seasoned. To carry this to a revelation of num bers would not do at this time. Scarcity of Fighting Material. The German army morale is un questionably weakening so far as certain elements which make up a large part of the army is concerned. Rut disregarding that and putting all the boches on an equal plane, when the Germans started their drive cf July 15, Ilindenburg had some seventy divisions in reserve with which to batter his way to Paris. In the fighting to date since then the seventy-three German divi sions have been identified, of which forty-eight were brought up from the German reserve. Of these eighty sixteen were so decimated that they cannot be used as shock troops for at least four months. Sour of these were put out by the Americans. The Fifth guard division, Fourth Prus sian guard, Twenty-third and Two Hundred and Sixteenth. The Ger mans now face the problem of build ing up these divisions with a great scarcity of first class fighting material. Hindenburg had to draw heavily on his reserves, it is thus seen. On the other hand, Foch hardly touch ed his. Germany now has twenty frahs divisions. She can use these for her promised drive against Rritain. Rut will she? I think she will not. Ilindenburg dare not take the chance with these twenty' new divisions. It would leave him strip ped of shock troops to meet another allied attack. In boastful . terms Germany had flux (dysentery).
