NEWS REVIEW OF THE GREAT WAR British and French Begin New Offensive Between Albert and Montdidicr. HA1G DIRECTS THE DRIVE Allies Force Crossing of the Vesle Rlv- er In Face of Strong Resistance Plans for Siberian E:cdltlon March States American Army Program. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Having thoroughly whipped the armies of the German crown prince nnd driven them back beyond the Vesle river, Focli, now a marshal of France, turned his nttcntion In the middle of the week to tho forces un der the Bavarian crown prince, Rup preclit. At dawn on Thursday the Brit ish Fpurfli army and the French First nrmy, under command of Field Mar shal nalg, began nn offensive on a wide front in the region east and south east of Amiens. The front under nt tack was nbout twenty-eight miles in length, from Albert south to the vicin ity of Montdidicr. Within 24 hours the nllled forces had penetrated tho enemy lines to points from six to seven miles beyond thestart, hnd taken more thnn 10,000 prisoners nnd great quantities of material and, many guns, nnd had occupied numerous towns. Their own losses were rcmnrk nbly light. Tanks led the Infantry In the attack nnd did wonderfully" good work. Complete success In this offensive would result In obliterating the Oer miin allent In the Montdidicr region nnd would Imperil the entire Hun lino from Helms to Ypres. The Germans seem to have anticipated this move ment by the nllles and some days prev iously withdrew their forces there nnd In other sectors to stronger positions. Progress by the nllles here carries them Into the Plenrdy country which was rnvaged by the Germans In their retreat of March, 1017, nnd ngnln de vastated by them when they drove for ward this year. ! The defeated hut not disorganized Huns between Solssons nnd Reims, ns was predicted, gathered their strength for a pause In their retreat between the Vesle and the Alsne. Their guns were brought Into play from tho plat eau In thnt region which commnnds the Vesle valley. The Germans, In deed, mndo strenuous attempts to pre vent the French nnd Amerlenns from crossing the Vesle, especially In the vicinity of Flsmes. hut numerous rela tively small units forced the crossings nnd held onto their now positions de spite furious counter-attacks. These operations were mostly between Rrnlsnc nnd Flsmes. lTp to the close of the week Marshal Foch had not tried to send any very largo forces across the river, probably waiting un til his artillery could drive the Huns from the nearer hills to the north. The Germnns were using only medium caliber guns, which was taken to moan that their heavier artillery was being placed north of the Alsne to defend1 that line; for there seemed little doubt that they would be forced that fnr north before very long. Their position south of the Alsne was said to bo real ly untenable though seemingly strong. At tho west end of the line tho French and Americans were steadily pushing enst along the Alsne, and nt- the east end Immediately north of Reims the French made considerable advance be tween the railways running to I.aon nnd Rethel. The city of Flsmes, 'which was so gallantly taken by tho Amerlenns, was as gallantly hold ngnlnst all attacks, though the Germans deluged It with explosive nnd gas shells. Tho machine gun nnd ride lire of the Yankees was' so accurate ns to nrouse tho admira tion of their allies. hi- Activity Increased during the week In the Lys salient which the Germans mnde tow Hot hum; and llnzebrouck. On the s. hern side of this bulge the British i mmI forward between the I.awe mid 'Me Clarence. In other see tors of tli northern line also the Brit ish nttm i . l successfully.

It was clear that Fod I, nl no Intention of allow ing the IImis to have any rest, now that he ! n them nn the defensive. R- Authmvi-s admit thnt the kaiser's strength Is -till prodigious and that he has large r. serves, but all unlte'ln in serting tint he has passed beyond the high point uf power and etllcleney and can never regain numerical supremacy, nor can he ever again hnve the oppor tunity to achieve a victory that was his two uiiiiiths ago. Those of his peo ple who Know the truth now ndmlt thnt his ultimate defeat is n certainty. The more fearless papers of Germany and Austria do not hesitate to say this plainly. The military and pan-Gormnn leaders are held responsible, nnd ns their only hope lies In administering to the nllles the crushing blow so long pronfTsed by them, It Is rensonahlo to expect another grent Hun offensive be fore long. Thnt Is, If Marshal Foch gives them a chance, which doesn't seem to be a pnrt of his present plans. Arrangements for the American-Japanese expedition to Siberia have been going forward rapidly and the Czecho slovak forces over there will soon have the active support of a small but competent body of nllled troops. It Is announced thnt two regiments now In tho Philippines will form pnrt of the American contingent, nnd thnt It will be commnnded by Mn.. Gen. William S. Graes until recently assistant chief of stuff of tho nrmy. Later It will be determjned whether he will com mand the entire expedition. At Vladi vostok the Americans will be Jolnefl by nn eqinil number of Japanese and prob ably they will flrst drive from the Amur branch of the trans-Siberian rallwav the bolshevik! and the Teuton wnr prisoners who were nrmed to aid them. Eastern Siberia would then bo In the control of the nllles and loyal Russians. British forces were landed at Vladivostok last week, for what pur pose was not stated. m Japan hns given evidence of eager ness tn do more In Siberia than merely aid the Czechs, If she has the excuse, and It Is reported thnt Lenlne now plans to declare war on the Japanese, being Instigated by Germany. The suc cesses nf the Czechs hnvo had great ef fect In Austria, and reports from that country tell of the desertion of nbout a nillllnn soldiers of the Austro-Hun-gnrlan nrmy. Eighty thousand of these deserters are living In Vienna and the government fears to take nny step against them. ia Conditions in northern nussln are very cneourngirig. The nllles hnve been driving the bolshevik! south from Archangel, nnd a new government has been established In that city embracing half n dozen districts.

The Amerlcnn yards are now tinning out vessels with extraordinary rapidity. The launch ing of the first one from the great gov ernment yard at Hog Island was nt tended by President and Mrs. Wilson. leo Our war department's army program was partly revealed to the senate com mittee on military affairs by General March, chief of staff, when ho ap peared before It to urge all possible liuste In passing tho bill extending tho lira ft age limits to eighteen and forty tlvo years. Concisely stated, the pro gram Is as follows: Ninety-eight divisions 3,020,000 men to make up troops obtained tin der existing law. Eighty divisions 3.200.000 men to be sent to France. Eighteen divisions 720,000 men to bo held In reserve In the United States while additional recruits aro being trained. An nrmy when completed of 5,000, 000 men, minimum strength. Troop movement to France nt tho rate of 2.r0,000 men n month until cold wenthcr sets In, meaning over 1,000,000 more men nbroad before the first of the year. i An expeditionary force of almost 2, 500,000 men In France by Janunry 1. General March told the committee Pthe United States can end tho war by getting 4,000,000 trained troops, fully equipped, Into France, nnd he Intlmnt ed that Marshal Foch Is only await ing the nrrlval of tho Americans In full strength to hurl the entire united mllltnry strength of the nllles nt the Huns on the western front. This tre mendous blow, he Intimated, was duo to fall next spring. The chief of stnfif said he did not believe It would bo necessary to send the eighteen-year-old clnss to the firing line, but that tho government wants these young men trained nnd In rend In ess. He snld it would bo satisfactory If tho bill were passed Immediately after congress re sumes the transaction of business on August 20. Some of the senntors be lieved quicker nctlon would be ndvls able. Chairman Dent of the house mll ltnry affairs committee, clinging to tho null ami mile-war ideas that always have unlimited his actions, shows no desire to hove the bill considered by his committee In time for early pas sage. It was stated that tho sensible members of tho committee, bended by Representative Kabn, probnbly would have to take charge of the measure. Why the small-minded Dent is not ousted from his chairmanship of this most Important committee romnlns ono of the mysteries. Other men connect ed with the administration nnd the government, who were pneiflsts and small nrmy nnd nnvy advocates, have seen the error of their ways long since nnd nro doing everything in their power to help win the wnr, hut no such light Illuminates the dense mind of Dent. m Tho houso ways and means commit tee Is still busy with tho next revenuo measure. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has Informed Chnlrman Kltch In that he Is strongly In favor of a flat war profits tax of 80 per cent, which he believes would render unnecessary any Increnso In tho existing excess profits tax rate, and would also ho found the only wny to reach real war profiteering. Tho committee has agreed upon n section thnt would call on the president to pny a tax of $21, 000 as his part of the country's flnnn clnl wnr burden nnd under which the Supreme court Justices, nil federnl Judges nnd all state officers would be taxed. "There Is a great sentiment all over tho country," said Mr. Kltchln, "thnt no one should be exempted from taxation." In which Mr. Kltchln speaks tho exnet truth. 8 The federnl trade commission hns recommended thnt the government tnko control of nil the principal stock yards, cold-storngo plants and ware houses and of refrigerator nnd cattle cars, In order to destroy the monopoly which It declnres Is exercised by Swift A Co., Armour fc Co., Morris ft Co., WIN son ft Co., Inc., and tho Ciidahy Pack ing company. Tho commission ac cuses theso concerns of illegally and oppressively controlling nnd manipu lating tho meat and other food supplies of the nation, and of profiteering.
