Fighting continued at various points south of the river. On the center the French have pushed forward on the south bank of the Avre to the outskirts of LEschelle St Aurin, seven miles northeast of Montdidier.

LONDON. Aug. 11. The important town or Montdidier, which was approximately at the apex of the German salient south of the Somme, has been captured by the allies, and thousands of Boches made prisoner. The eleven German divisions which the allies have torn to pieces are already in such condition that they can be of little use to the German command for a long time to come, and probably some of them can never be re formed.

The two new divisions which ap i c. s. Woolworth peered on the front were rushed down th two principal arteries of com munication. It is along these arteries, however, that the allied forces are the strongest, particularly in cavalry and tanks, and two divisions were far too few in numbers to stem the onrushing tide. Another German divisional head' quarters was reported captured today at lemons.

BZ2TXOADB X.EADEB. PARIS. Aug. 11. General von Hu tier's retreat from Montdlder was cut off when the French captured Fave rolles.

The German position along the Montdidter Royce road is precarious. The discomfiture of General von Hu tier's army and the probability of it even being surrounded aroused a great deal of interest here. There is a feeling in France that Von Hutier is a renegade Frenchman. His father emigrated from France to Germany and entered the service of William serving In the war against France in 1870.

Important rear guards are being sacrificed by the Qer mans to insure the safet yof the main armies and there is a well defined feeling among military critics here that the German reserves are not a im pot unt or numerous as was originally thought. The recklessness with which the crown, prince threw them into the battle of the Marne, drawing also rrom tne stock of his royal cousin, Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, is believed to be causing General Lud' enaorrr some worry. A temporary lull mav be emitted In the fighting on the present lines, as the eGrmans are desperately striving to save the material and retire their troops to the old Hindenburr line and recury tne front, where they intend to make their stand.

(By the Associated Press) The quick flrers which the allies overwhelmed in Montdidier were served by officers and this fact Is regarded as showing that the Germans are beginning to mistrust the resisting power of their soldiers whose fighting spirit has been put to a severe test guards covered the retirement of the Crown Prince's armies northward. The smoke of large fires continue to be seen far behind the enemy's lines, and the movement of long transport columns eastward are considered evidence that it is the intet vion of the enemy ultimately to retreat to new lines of defence.

Aviators have destroyed all the bridges across the Somme from the region of Peronne southward, and with the enemy's communicating lines either In the hands of the allies or dominated by their guns the retrogrande movement necessarily must be slow.
