NEWS REVIEW OF
THE GREAT WAP,
Allies Continue Their Advance in
Picardy Steadily but
More Slowly.
ROYE AND NOYON IN DANGER
First American Field Army 13 Formed
Situation in Austria and Russia
Improved Man-Power Bill In.
troduccd In the Senate.
Uy EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Moving more slowly but steadily iitul
with determination, the allies lat
week pushed the Germans further
back In Picardy. General von Itoehm,
the Hun "retreat specialist." having
been ilaeed in coiumand on the Komum
front, put up an Increasingly strong
resistance to protect his withdrawal,
and the lighting became rather local'
Izetl. The llercest struggle was towanl
the south end of the battle line, where
the I'leiich were forcing their way to
ward Noyon. Overcoming tremendous
resistance, they drove the (iermans
from most of the massif or heights of
I.as.signy early In the week, and also
moved forward in the (Use valley.
Then they gained a secure footing on
the Thlescourt plateau and thus dom
inated most of thu country northeast
of them for utiles. Tills movement and
the unceasing pressure of the British
from the northward Imperiled the en
emy's position In Hoye, although he
clung with desperation to that city
mid to Cliaulncs further north. Along
much of the line he was holding lie
had the advantage of the old trenches
nnd wire entanglements built by him
prior to July, 1010.
Whether Von Hoelnn would elect to
Iry to make n prolonged stand there,
or fall back on the much stronger
f'eronne-Noyon line was not revealed,
hut observers believed he would choose
the latter course, nnd the fact that
ho was withdrawing his troops north
of Albert strengthened this view, lie
evacuated the towns of Henuinont,
Hamel, Scrro, 1'ulsluux an Mout and
Hucuuoy, taking up positions on
heights more easily defended. Along
the Somme, on both hnnks, the British,
with the able assistance of .some
American troops have been advancing
slowly, taking Bray and Ktluehem.
Im
In the advance on Jtoye and Noyon
from the southwest the French have
been lighting over extremely dlllicult
ground with numerous ravines that
furnish cover for the Innumerable ma
chine guns the Germans have been us
ing. Hut the French kept bringing up
their artillery and cleaning out these
nests, nnd long before the end of the
week they had taken Ulbecourt, on
the Olse, and had Noyon under con
tinual lire, rendering it almost unten
able. On the Solssons-Kelms front tho
flghtlng was mostly contlncd to repent
ed but futile attacks on the Americans
nt FIhiiics, Flsinette and the neighbor
ing region. Artillery of both sides was
very active along the Veslo river.
Pai
Although the licardy offensive was
slowed up somewhat, army ollicers see
no Indication of a letting down on the
part of Marshal Fo;ii. On the con
trary, they predict that another great
drive will come fjioii, either In Flan
ders or between the OIso and Kolssnns,
and expect movements of far greater
scope In the uenr future. The Ger
man high command seems to have ac
cepted defeat and to bo trying to get
nut of Its dlllUulties as best It may.
The effect of this 011 the morale of the
soldiery Is quite evident In the pris
oners taken, and Its effect In Germany
Is rolled cd In the press which admits
failure on thu west front, iih else
where. Kurly In tlio work It was announced
that the First Aniorlcnn Hold army, of
live corps, hud been constituted with
General Pershing as commander. It
Is understood that tills army will by
Itself hold the eastern part of the line,
to Alsace, nnd somo ollicers believe an
nil-American drive enst of Verdun may
cotno soon.
fel l ' &
Geneva dispatches said the Austria
Swiss front lor was closed for some
days and all trains were full of Aus
trian troops going to the Italian front,
which was taken to mean another com
ing olTVnshe there. Ilowoer, the Ital
ians were ready for It and dally Im
proved their positions, especially in
the mountains.
In .Albania I he AiiMtlnus evacuated
nil points held by them south of the
Keuicul liver.
An amazing development Is the selz
ure of Baku, center of the Caspian .sen
oil district, by a British force which
made Its way up through Mesopotamia
and Persia.
fcj
The parlous condition of the central
powers resulted In a "kaiser confer
ence" at Gorman main lioaihpuirtciN
which was attended by the rulers of
Gcriiiuuy and Austria and their chief
advisers and by representatives of the
Turks-, Bulgarians and Itussiau holshc
vikl. The Internal situation in Austria-Hungary
especially Is growing
worseor rather hotter daily; an ex
plosion there aluio.st any day would
not greatly sin prise anyone. Bulgaria
shows signs of breaking away from
its confederates, and as for Turkey, the
general public knows nothing of what
is going on there or what Is epected.
P-a
The situation In Uussla, Including
.Siberia, nlt is Improving, for the
forces opposed to the holsholkl and
the Germans are growing stronger and
amalgamating. The possibility of es
tablishing an eastern front that will
seriously worry the Huns Is being con
sidered, especially since the ".supreme
government of the northern territory,"
embracing half 11 dozen districts, has
declared Itself opposed to the Germans
and ready to light them. Possession
of the port of Archangel and the Mur
man coast gives the allies an Inlet
for troops to help tills movement. That
Germany recognizes thu menace Is evi
dent from the fads that she Is sending
more soldiers from the west front to
Russia, and has ordered Finland to
prepare to make war on the people of
Murmansk and the allies there. Dis
patches from Ilolsingfors declared the
Germans Intend to occupy Petrograd,
though what they would gain by pos
session or that huuger-stiicken city Is
not apparent. Lenlne and Trotsky
and their soviet government were re
ported to have lied from Moscow to
Kroustadt, the great fortress near
Petrograd, and to have placed the exe
cution of power In the hands of a tri
umvirate composed of Lenlne, Trotsky
and ZlnovlelT. Lenlne ulso Issued a
manifesto urging the pitiless annihila
tion of all counter-revolutionaries.
Moscow being admittedly In the con
trol of thv counter-revolutionists, the
German embassy also lied from that
city to Pskov, which greatly perturbed
the German press. v
The diplomats of all the allied pow
ers, now living on warships ut Arch
nngel, have demanded of Trotsky an
explanation of bis throat that Russia
would declare war "against Anglo
French Imperialism."
--to
The first American regiment sent to
Siberia, the Twenty-seventh regular In
fantrv from Manila, landed nt Vladi
vostok Thursday, and other Yankees
are on the way.
The Gzecho-Slovaks In eastern Si
beria now have the assistance of Brit
ish and French forces which landed t
Vladivostok and Joined them In the
Usuri river valley. Those In western
Siberia wore last reported as engaged
In 11 desperate battle with a large bol
shevik army.
A long step forward In the moral
support of these lighting Czechs nnd
of their fellow nationals who are in
rebellion against Austiia-llungary was
the formal recognition by Great Brit
ain of the Czecho-SlovakN as an nl
lied nation and of tin Ir armies as an
allied force regularly waging warfare
against the cent nil powers. It Is
hoped and believed America and other
allied nations will follow the example
of Great Britain.
Last-week's dispatches told of furi

thnui and the ways of combating
them. The submarines, in addition to
sinking a number of steamers and at
tacking others, in souk cases onl,
few miles from the harbor of Now
York, also destroyed a considerable
number of IWIiIng vessels off New Kng
land. Several lights with these U-boats
were reported and It was believed that
at least one of them wus sunk. What
was believed to be a gas attack on
tlio coast guard station and lighthouse
011 Smith's island. South Carolina, In
which sccriil men were overco;iio. has
not yet boon explained though the
theory that tlio poison gas came from
a submailne was discarded. Presum
ably tho fact that our naval vism-Is
are pretty busy on convoy duty accounts
for tlio comparative Immunity of thcjc
r-hoats along the Atlantic coast.
Tho steady decline of the German
submarine campaign is emphasized by
the olllclal reports on sinkings and
shipbuilding for .Inly. The allied and
neutral shipping sunk during the month
amounted to i7U.00) tons, compared
Willi r,:il.s;i!) tons sunk in July. 1U17.
During the mouth the allied nations
constructed a tonnage In excess of

Tlio administration's nian-power bill
extending the draft age to eighteen
and forty -live years was reported to
the senate Thursday and that body
prepared to take It up and act on It
speedily. Chairman Chamberlain in
reporting the measure said General
March told the military affairs com
mittee that ho believed 1.000,000 Amer
icans under one commander could go
through tlio German linos whenever
they pleased and that if the ages are
fixed as asked, the voluntary enlist
ment system automatically ends. He
also said all the men called for actlvo
service under the amended net would
be In Franco by next June. The new
American war program, It was re
vealed, calls for SO divisions, or about
;i,000,000 men, in France nnd 18 more
divisions in training In America, by
June .'50, 11)10.
Mr. Otiamberlnln told the senate
that President Wilson's program called
for concentration of American forces
on the western front, Including Itnly.
and that tho theory of the fighting in
the future Is tlmt we must force tho
Issue and win on tho western front.
Tho hill as reported contains a work
or light provision to which organized
labor, through Samuel Goinpers, has
filed emphatic objection.
Tho Immediate need for more fight
ing men Induced the president to issue
on Wednesday a proclamation calling
for the registration, on August 21, of
all young men who shall bave become
twenty-one j oars of agv between Juno B
last and that day. Tills extra enroll
ment, it Is believed, will include about
lBO.OOO men, one-half of whom are tit
for military duty.
Pea
Cliiiiritiiin Kltchln nnd other mem
bers of the house ways and means
committed being wedded to tho Iden
that the best way to raise more rev
enuc is to Incroaso tho excess profits
tax, rather than to Impose a war prof
its tax. Secretary of the Treasury Mc
Adoo was compelled to go before the
committee with a mass of figures to
sustain his contention that the war
prollts tax method Is the best and only
fair one. In reply to Kitchln's asser
tion that a war prollts tax was "only
camoullage to let out the big fellows"
the secretary produced figures to show
that la a great majority of cases the
war prollts tax would fall more heav
ily 011 the largo concerns than would
the excess prollts tax, which, If fixed
at ) per cent as the committee pro
posed, ho said would touch not more
than one of the large corporations. He
favors the contlnuanco of the existing
excess profits tux, with corrections hill
without Increase. Ho also urged heav
ier levies on unearned Incomes than
on earned Incomes, and tho Imposition
of a tax upon servants as luxuries.
The secretary Impressed on the
committee the necessity of passing tho
new revenue hill before September 118,
tlio date set for launching tlio fourth
Liberty loan campaign, saying that
further delay would jeopardize tho
ability of tho treasury to sell sulllclent
treasury certificates to finance It In
the Intervals between the Liberty
loans. In Wushlpgton most of the do
lay In passing the measure Is expect
ed to develop in tho senate.
