some 13 miles southwest of St Quentin The British army which links up with the rench east of Chaulnes la little more away from It Tonight the British stand on the weat bank of the Somme opposite Brie and eronne while the rench have pushed their lines up to the western embankment of the canal Du Nord where only two miles of front between Catigny and Ser mafzs 1s still stubbornly defended by the Teutons rench Keep On Pressing 'eastward from Noyon the rench bit themselves Into the western slopes of Mont Simeon They captured Jrfindrlcourt and Mor llncourt the Paris war office was able to announce tonight On the southern end of the bat tle line the rench aided by Amer icans crossed the Allette at many places north and south of Champs overcoming fierce German resist ance Guny and Pont St Mard were captured The New Zealanders who cap tured Ilapaume didn't stop a sec ond They dashed straight through and beyond the shell battered town Tonight the heaviest fighting rages around Vraucourt four miles northeast and In front of Haplin court four miles to the east our and a half miles to the northwest of Peronne the British have captured the little town of Hem not to be confused with Ham one of th strong points In Luden dorff's slop gap line The Berlin war office had a few things to say thia morning' and to night The German day report shrewdly prepared the public for the fall of Neale Noyon and Bapaume In ita Ingenuous way It told of the Allies' advancing "beyond" the line Pomplerre Nealo Baaulleu Huxoy of "Noyon lying before our battle and of Bapaume being "subjected to heavy British artillery fire" By nightfall Ludendorff felt obliged to be a bit more explicit He put the German line "east of" Bapaume and Noyon" which Incidentally Implies the Ger man evacuation of Peronne also "On the whole front from Ba paume southward" says ield Marshal night report "the enemy has been forced to abandon with groat loss In prisoners guns and material as well as In killed and wounded the ground gained at such heavy cost in March and April of this year" Yanko Among Victors The rench at Juvigny are 14 1 2 miles both from 1st ere and Jaon Americans are believed to have participated In today's attacks that resulted in capture They fought with the rench In that region yesterday rom Noyon northeastward to Chauny and us I'ere the rench are expected to have comparatively easy sailing Moro difficult Is an advance on aon since the route to that bas tion the southern pivot of ths old real Hindenburg line Is barred by three great forests But presently the American armv on the Veslo Is expected to be set Into motion with the rench army under Mangin simultaneously tack ling In th right flank north of Solssona Such a concentric assault would open an easier route to laon for the Chemln des Dames Is believed to hold no longer hope to the German Alena army as a permanent stopping place Thue four great Key points in the real Hindenburg line Cambral st Quentin La ere and ar gravely menaced by the last 2 hours' developments Another Douai 14 1 2 miles northwest of Cambral Is seriously threatened by the British eastward push northeast of Arras At Ar leux the British are only about 12 miles weal of Douai The northern pivot of the Hin denburg line Lille would bs threatened by any substantial ad vance on the part of Haig's lan ders army The continual local successes by the British In lan ders netting them many valuable jumping off places foreshadows an early drive on that front which would necessarily be directed against Lille An unofficial hut authoritative es timate late today placed the total of prisoners taken since July IS bv lbs rench and HrlUsh at IZOriOii and that of captured guns at 2000 Haig's official day report gave more than 24000 prisoners and more than 100 guns as the totals taken by the British since August 21 Latest word from th attacking front Is that the rench have reached the Homme between Clsan court (seven miles soutli of I'e ronne) and nouy le I'etlt The British aro advancing on Beaulancourt and have reached th high ground northeast of Gueude court They are approaching Le Transloy three and a halt miles southeast of Bapaume and

Continued rom Par One slve detailfl until the end of the season It is still possible that with a little help from the weather Hoehn rnay be able to halt his pursuers at the Hindenburg line for a brief time He may bn able to organize pn orderly retreat beyond the Hin denburg line In his own fashion and at hia own time But it seems to me now Inevitable that before the end of the fighting for this year the Hermann will have to re tire out of the Hindenburg line and to the frontier and it Is possible that tho Allies will now be able promptly to overrun the Hinden burg If this last happens we shall see something like the spectacle when finally the Ice goes out a northern river in spring a break In the German lines from the Meuse to the Yser from Verdun to Ypres recalling the spring phenomenon Plainly Plans Stand Just now Boehn has reached poRltlona east and south of the old Somme battlefield which he hopes will enable him to gain a breathing spell He unquestionably means to stand behind the Tortllle river the upper Somme and either the Canal du Nord from the Somme near Neale to the Oise at Noyon or the St Croeat canal from the Somme at Ham to the Oise near Chauny The obstacle the rivers and canal offer to the tanks the difficulties the pursuer must meet and over come to get across these streams may compel the pursuer to halt for the moment and permit Boehn to get his breath and presently to get back to the Hindenburg line In good order But the trouble for Boehn is to the north and along the Scarpe Horne has begun to drive east to ward Douai Byng is pounding down the Arras Cambrai road and a short advance by either spells disaster and retreat for the Germans a re treat which may prove as fatal to the kaiser as did re treat from Moscow If the Hinden burg line falls to hold then we shall see one of the most tremend ous military disasters of all human history We cannot calculate upon It the chances are still against it but there is the possibility increas ing daily oe Resources Exhausted We know now that it is the sober judgment of British and rench military men that had the Germans been able to continue their drive in had they stuck to the push fur Amiens Instead of turning north to landers they might have captured Amiens and separated British and rench armies They gave it up because their gigantic machine had run down It had ex hausted the stored resources in the solossnl push from St Quentin to Montdlder But method is quite differ ent he does not use up his armies he docs not concentrate all his human and mechanical resources in a single thrust He uses one army nfter another and keeps varying the attack The result is that none of his armies is exhausted and af ter a little rest it can resume There Is therefore no let up as there was In Picardy no pause ns there was after tho Alsne when the Germans waited 40 days before trying again We have had now since July IS a practically continuous attack by the Allies now in Ile de rance now in Picardy now in Artois and the extension to Champagne and landers Is already foreshadowed There has been no respite and there is likely to uo none for Koch has still very large American reserves not trained sufficiently to be highly effective in an attack upon fixed positions but capable of supplying an enormous aid if the German Uno crumbles and it becomes a question of pursuit of a beaten enemy to a new position and an effort to turn the defeat Intq a It is a safe calculation that the American troops are still to play a larger part in the present cam paign than they have yet played There Is a promise of a situation in which their peculiar qualities will prove invaluable It is a time to guard against extreme optismisin but It is also a time when we can see that even in the Immediate future there may be a victory which will be the military decision so much talked of even If the German like Napoleon after lelpsic a cen tury ago is able to fight one more campaign on his own soil after his defeat beyond his frontiers has been decisive Michigan Men On Honor Roll Detroit and other Michigan men mentioned in today's cas ualty lists are the following: Senes Llewellyn 9
