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,

A geiiera! feeling of satisfaction
pervaded the country when It was
announced that the 100 I. W. W. lead

had been convicted. Next on the list
of alleged disloyalists to be given a
dose of Justice are five Socialists
Victor L. Rerger, Adolph Gcrmer, Ir

against them are even more serious
than were those against the "Wob

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
