NEWS REVIEW OF THE GREAT WAR Advances of Allies Threaten the Whole German Line From Ypres to Reims. FRENCH CAPTURE LASSIGNY Fall of Noyon Made Certain by Vic tories of Humbert and Mannln Halg's Forces Give Huns Sev era I Hard Blows North of the Somme. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Blow after blow was delivered at the Germans last week along the 120 mile front between Solssons and Ypres, and with euch blow their resistance grew weaker and their definite retire ment In I'lcardy more certain. At no point did the allies gain any great expanse of territory, but everywhere they struck they gained ground that was of vital Importance to the defen sive system of the Huns. When the week closed It appeared likely thnt the enemy must wlthdiaw from the entire I'lcardy snllent and that ho probably would be forced hack to the Cheinln des Dames before long. Mar shal Foch wns not only "picking the pockets" of tho Hun, but he was turn ing them Inside out. More than that, he was forcing the Germans to fight where and when he choso Instead of nwnltlng their attacks In sectors of their selection, 'thus he made It al most Impossible for them to reorgan ize their battered divisions and pre pare for n counter-stroke that might be effective. Pa The severest blow sustained by the nemy during the week was the cap ture of Lasslgny, one of the key points of his defensive line. The town, which hns long been but a mnss of ruins, was taken by General Humbert's French nrrny Wednesday. In the snmo attack Chlry-Ourscamp was entered, Orvnl wood was taken with tho grenade and bayonet and the plntenu that dominated the valley of tho Dlvette was occupied. During the succeeding night Humbert's men drove forward between tho Mutz and the Olse until they hnd reached tho Allette. Humbert's troops occupied the height of riemont on Thursdny and then captured Thlescourt, thus completing the conquest of the hills comprising the Thlescourt massif. This, In the opinion of competent ob servers, made certain tho early fall of Noyon. To mnke assurance doubly (sure. Gcncrnl Mnngln with another French army was steadily forcing his way up the left bnnk of tho Olse, not only helping to surround Noyon but endangering the German lines north of the Vcsle. In this OIse-Alsne triangle the nuns were retiring rather rapidly and Gcncrnl Mnngln took many thou sands of prisoners. At some points, however, notnhly Vezaponln, they brought up re-enforcements and counter-attacked heavily, with no result ex cept to Increase their own losses. Earlier In the week Mangln's troops hnd won n brllllnnt victory In that neighborhood, In the Vessens vnlley, overcoming very heavy gas attacks of tho Huns. Still nenrer Solssons. on tho extreme right of this bnttlc front, the French took Lnval and renched advantageous positions on tho plateau north of tho Alsne. Ha On Wednesday Genernl Hyng with n British army hit the Huns with one of his sudden blows, attacking on a ten-mile front north of tho Ancre fac ing Ilupaume and drhlng the enemy hack In disorder for several miles. Starting at dnwn In n heay fog, the r.rltlsli took Von Ilelnw's troops com pletely by surprise and before the day closed thc had captured villages, guns nnd prisoners In large numbers nnd hnd Inflicted heavy casualties. Oloso behind a sweeping bnmu'e tho tanks and then the Infantry rushed forward until they were almost within reach of Unpnume. The Germans put up ftout resistance at some places, especially Courcelles, hut tho tanks rolled over them remorselessly. MeuMwhlle the 'whippets" tore about the field, clean ing out the numerous mnchlnc gun nests. The prisoners were In good condition, but seemed ery glad to be captured. Next dn Marshal Halg delivered an other blow, this time Immediately south of the scene of Ityng's success, between the Ancre and the Koinme. Satisfactory progress was made there also. On Thursday Halg let loose a third attack, In the Albert sector extending south to Hi ay. The town of Albert was taken and the Hiltlsh rushed for ward for a gain of several miles despite despeiate resistance by the enemy. Meanwhile the Get mans were slow ly getting out of the snllent between Ypres and La Ilnssee under steady pressure by the Urltlsh. The fighting here was continuous and sharp for the Huns did not wish to be hurried, but when they moved too slowly they were prodded with vicious attacks, as north of Uallleul and near Mervllle. ta News from the Amei leans chiefly concerned those holding the center of the Vcsle river line. These men made no especial efforts to advance, but successfully held on to all their posi tions, despite the great activity of the enemy artillery. Their aviators did much excellent work during the week, especially In the line of bombing. This seems destined to be their particular duty,4 and It will prove to be of ut most 'importance. The arrival at the front of Amerlenn-mndc plnnes caused great rejoicing In the army. In the Woevre the Americans, by quick work with rltlc and grenade, frustrated attempts to raid their trenches. a All of the Japanese troops for the Siberian expedition have been landed at Vladivostok, and more of the Amer ican contingent have arrived there. Despite rumors to the contrary, these two nations and China are operating there In complete harmony and their forces are getting Into action at once to assist the Czechoslovaks anil to maintain control over the trans-SI-berlnn railway. The enemy, opposing the Czechs In eastern Siberia, made up of soviet troops and Teuton war" prisoners, has a strength of -10,000 men with 70 big guns and 200 mnchlue guns. In trans-Halknlla, also, the Czechs are fighting against heavy odds and haste Is needeil to secure Irkutsk and western Siberia. In Russia the Czecho-Slovaks captured Shadrlnskl, nn Important railway Junction east of the Ural mountains nnd between Kknterlnburg and Kurgan. No definite news came from Arch angel and the Muniinn const, though German dispatches asserted the allies hnd withdrawn beyond range of the holshevtkl nrtlllery. Petrograd has been the scene of bloody battles between Lettish guards nnd rioters who demanded fond. Hun dreds vvero killed and wounded, and finally martial law was proclaimed. In Moscow there Is a veritable reign of terror nnd several hundred of the 1fi, (KM) ofllcers arrested have been shot. Scarcity of rice caused serious riots In Japan, the trouble spreading to many parts of the empire. Tho gov ernment took forceful action to stop the disorders and also bought up all the rice In storage to bo sold to the people at reasonable prices. Tho out breaks were due to the taking over by the war department of Iurge stores of provisions for the Slherlnn expedi tion and to the hoarding of stocks and Inflation of prices by the rice growers nnd speculators. ) The submarines operating off the At lantic coast hnve turned their atten tion mainly to the fishing fleets on the Grand banks and have destroyed a number of trawlers. One of the lat ter was captured, fitted out with two guns and a German crew and sent out as a raider. It sank several fishing vessels, but the navy put n large num ber of swift craft on Its trail and It was predicted that Its career would ho brief. It Is believed there are threo submarines In American waters, nnd a number of steamships have re ported battles with them. The navy department announced that the American steamer Montnnnn, used ns an army supply ship, was tor pedoed and sunk In foreign waters with tho probable loss of threo mem bers of tlio civilian crew and two members of the naval armed guard. Losses of allied and neutral mer chant shipping during July aggregated Hl.'t.Oll gros tons, an Increase over the month of June hut a big decrease from the losses of July, 1017. There Is nothing In the shipping situation to ehange the opinion that the suhmailue campaign Is a flat failure. Its out breaks now tire sporadic and more an noying than serious. Among the neu tral nations that have suffered from It Spain Is showing the most resent ment, anil last week It unfilled the Impel lal German government that, Spanish tonnage having been reduced to the eMieme limit, Spain will be obliged. In case of new sinkings', to substitute therefor German vessels In terned In Spanish ports. At the Mime time, tin Spanish cabinet announced, Spain will continue to observe neutral ity. There Is a strong pro-Germnn element In Spain, and every hint of a rupture of relations brings violent protest from the pro-German press there. Ha Germany's latest peace offensive, consisting of speeches by leading men, was opened by Doctor Self, minister of colonies, who devoted himself main ly to blaming F.nglnnd for "starting the war" and attacking the ItrltMi In tention to retain the completed Ger man colonies. He also defended Ger man's ionise in the near Hast, as serting that she was merely protect ing the frontier peoples of Russia un til they are capable of determining their own national future. Tho Czecho-Slovaks he denounced as "land less robber bands." The expressed de termination of the allied nations to I defeat the Germans on the battlefield gives Doctor Solf great pain and arouses his bitter uuger. With troops going across the Atlan tic at the rate of about 'J.'O.OOO a month, with the new draft law about to be put on Its passage, and with war Industries well organized nnd rendy to operate full blast, the Amer ican government Is confronted with n seilous shortage of labor. A million workers are needed at once and tho administration Intends that they shall be provided for the concerns that aro making war materials, no matter what happens to private business. Nones sential Industries will be called on to give up many of their men; all Idlers will be put to work, and women will be used to release men for war work that women cannot do. The emergen cy Is one that must be met, and those In authority propose to meet It In the same spirit In which they have met the need for a huge army of fighters, PQI A geiiera! feeling of satisfaction pervaded the country when It was announced that the 100 I.

Rerger, Adolph Gcrmer, Ir win St. John Tucker, J. Louis Kiigtlnbl and William F. Kruse. The charges against them are even more serious than were those against the "Wob blies." na The house ways and menus commit tee nearly completed the draft of tho i8,000,000.000 levenue hill, but had still to decide between two proposi tions for the excess profits tax. Ac centing to Chairman Kltchln theso were, first: An 8 per cent deduction In addition to tho SU.OOO specific ex emption, with a ir per cent tax on profits between 8 and 15 per cent; fit) percent tax on profits between 1ft and 20 per cisnt, and 70 per cent tax on profits above 20 per cent, and, sec ond, the same exemption and deduc tion, with -10 per cent tax on profits between 8 and 20 per cent, and 70 per cent tax on profits exceeding 20 per cent. The committee decided on a Mat 10 per cent deduction as a minimum on war profits. The proportion of excess profits and war prolPs taxes will re main the same; that Is, DO per cent of business will full iindei the war prof Its tax. It decided on a flat 10 pur cent minimum deduction lor prew.ir earnings In computing the war pioll's tax.
