WAR CRITICS

SEE YANKEE MENACE

It Will Be Serious Matter To Face American Fighting Millions.

AMSTERDAM. Aag. 20.—Professional soldiers like Generals Von Bhime and* Von Liiebert unHke so many other German war critics do not seek to belittle the significance of the appearance of the American army ou thfl west front.

General Von IJlirme, who is on the retired list, writes an article on the subject "which appears in the Kheinlsche "West flaische Zeitung of Essen. He frankly admits that "we have to recognise that the Americans, all in all, have done very smart work and it would be a very serious thing if the German army command had, to face an American fighting army of millions."

This prospect the German public •,*iust on no account be permitted to ponder over and almost immediately after the article a semi-official statement was issued to the effect that the "exaggerated reports regarding the siso of the American army in Europe merit no credience and only exists

In Yankee imagination and entente Propaganda" The statement

9*56

further that "the

tonnage question which is already acute, will become still more serious for the entente when America bam to •hip her crops to Bnrope."

General Von Liebert who was former German commandant at Lodz and who now is miltarv critic of the Taeglische Rundchau of Berlin, tells the public that the American army has actually become a big factor and the debarkations la France are proceeding regularly. The general laments the" "moral perversion" which brought the Americans to the front and says: "The French and British owe their fecent succefses to their trans-At-lantic ally, without whom their offensive would have been doomed to disappointment."

BOY SAVES OLD GLORY.

Re-

Climbs Vandalia Flag Pole and •tore* The Flag. A new Tiero springs Into light every day over here, aa w^ll as over there. Hart Cleaverly, of 101 North- Fourteenth street, is one of the youngest of whom we have heard recently.

Mart works at the Vandalia sbopa. The crther day the caMe on the flag pole broke. To fix it was a dangerous Job to tackl«. A call for a volunteer to scan the pole was answered try 16-year-old Mart. He climbed the swaying pole to the top, and with one hand he held on, with the oCher he made the necessary repair. A breathless crowd stood about until the hid H&ad finished—-and It took htm 25 min•Jfcfes to finish.

The American flag' was restored to Its proper place. Was it any wonder that the crowd broke Into cheers after Mart had accomplished what he set out to do. and had landed safely on ground again? And was it any wonder that this same crowd took up a liberal parse for the youngster?

frontier, the visit of Emperor Karl to the Trentino and the conference' with the German military headquarters. Commenting on the meeting of the German and Austrian emperors, the Italian newspapers almost universally agree that it must be taken as new proof that the hope of separating Austria from Germany is "a mad delusion." The Idea Nationale says the meeting of the emperors is in direct consequence of the steps taken by the allies in Russia.

Must Quit Ypres Front

By the Associated Press.

Allied forces again are making progress on important sectors. Further successful developments of the present operations doubtlessly will force the enemy to readjust his line at least locally, if not over the entire front from Ypres to Rheims.

French successes onra 20 mile front east and west of the Oise are becoming a setHous menace to the Gqrman line from the Somme to Rheims. West of the Oise, Roye and T^assigny Appear to be doomed.. The Britsh are at, the gates of Roye while the French have reached the western outskirts of I-as-signy. The .fall of these, towns will imperil the enemy position at Noyon, which also is being threatened increasingly by the French advance over the high ground between the Aisne and the Olse southeast of Noyon.

In Flanders the British have made additional appreciable gains* in the Lys salient and the German situation within the salient appears more difficult daily. Driving against the bead of the salient, the British' have won ground on a front of nearly six miles and entered the important town ot Merville where the Clarence river enters the Iys.

Noyon fast is becoming the central point of a salfefit such as that which centered around Montdidier at the beginning of the Pi card y offensive. The stability of the present German line from the Somme to Rheims depends 'greatly upon the holding o the Noyon salient whose western outposts are

Roye and I^assigny. British troops are reported to have reached the railroad station in the western suburbs of Roye. The French have driven the wedge between Roye and Lassigny to "FresniereS, cutting the main highway between the towns. in addition to being threatened from the west, L,assign'y is boing approached from the south by G«n. Humbert's troops who have finally debouched from Thiescourt wood.

French Capture 2,200.

Along the western bank of the Oise and south of Noyon the French have Pimperz and reached Dreslincourt, to the north-we.«t- Bast, of the river tov/ar Soissons. Gen.

Mamertn

has captur

ed more high ground and has taken Worsain and has brought his total of prisoners to 2,200. In this operation the French not only menace the security of Noyon but relieved the pressure ajfainst Soissons.

FORCE GERMANS TO GIVE OP MERVILLZ SECTOR

vY. d:

pinching off Noron and advancing northward, he virtually will compel the Germans to retire from the present line north of Roye toward Arras and will hasten, if not force, a German retreat to the north of the Aisne between Soissons and Rheims. Success around Noyon might be far-reaching, but the terrain is difficult because of the woods and hills, and German resistance may continue stubborn. There ha.8 been only slight activities along the Vesle, the French and Americans having enlarged their holdings north of the river by slight advances at several points.

German Tactics Unchanged. There hag been no change in the German tactics between the Ancre and the Oise, which might have been expected from the appointment of General Boelm, who conducted the retreat -n: the Marne to the supreme command in that area. Berlin says that Monday allied thrusts west of Chaulnes and north of Roye failed, while the French were repulsed between the Oise and Aisne.

London reports th« checking of German efforts between Herleville and Lihons, west of Chaulnes.

In the operations around Merville the British have taken more prisoners in addition to the 675 captured in the successful storming of the Outtersteen ridge. The British forward movements in the "Lys salient are not yet very threatening to the strong German positions on the" hills north and northwest of Armentieres, but if they can be continued eastward the high ground from Mount Kemmel eastward will be outflanked.

GERMANS LOSE EFFICIENCY.

In Recent Operations the Enemy Surrenders Tamely. WTTH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. Aug. 20.—(By the Associated Press.)—In response to pressure applied first at one and then at another part of the line, the Germans opposite the British on several portions of the front continue to give ground.

The German troops which have been encountered "in the -past few days, especially during the operations of last night in which Outtersteen ridge was captured *nd consolidated, seem to have lost greatly in fighting efficiency. Of nearly 700 Germans captured during the Outtersteen operation, many surrendered tamely, after securing their rations and personal belongings.

The operations of last night astride the Scnrpe river may serve a» indication of the Germans' intentions. -The old Hindenburg line crossed thp

river here on an angle, so that compared with the present line, which here runs nearly north and south, the direction of the ground south of the Scarp*? is deeper than that north of the rivecIn other words, th« old Hindenhurg line is closer to the present line, nort)} of the Scarpe than south of It. ^British patrols operating north of the river have met with stiff opposition, but south of the river patrols have managed to penetrate for some distance.

Fighting From R«r.

(There are Indications that the Germans also are giving way In parts of the Merville sector. On the new Homme front the Germans overlook no opportunity to fight rear, guard actions. They appear ready to retire, hut apparently want tb be pushed a little, because In the pushing operations they may be afforded an opportunity to get in their deadly work with machine guns.

At the same time, Oerm*m» apparently do not want to fall back further than Is necessary before the completion of the operations around Roye. There are no signs of further counterattacks this time.

Some 40 division have been Identified as having been engaged In the recent operations. Of these 27 have been used against the British, and many of them are believed to have been exhaustedL

That General Tndemdorff Is displaying anxiety regarding a possible shortngp

of horses for the German army is indicated in a secret order just captured. This order cautions all commanders not to expend their horses as they cannot be replaced.

The men must understand that this Is necessary in order to continue the war until victory is reached. It has been ascertained that 900 remounts oenMy received by one German forma tfon wer° composed of horses taken from officers.
