THE STANFORD WORLD IMPORTANT GAINS MADE BY ALLIES GERMANS UNABLE To WITH. STAND REPEATED RUSHES SO GIVE UP GROUND FRENCH ADVANCE OVER MILE Forward Movement is On Front of Approximately Nine Miles, and 2,200 Hun Prisoners Are Taken in Operation (War Review for August :al) The Germans on three important sectors of the western battle front have been voinrotaled to give up posi- tions of great strategic value under the onslaughts of the British and French troops. In the Lys sector west of Armen- tieres the enemy has retreated over a front of nearly six miles, leaving the trivia of alerville in British hands. Between the alatz and Oise rivers the French have fought their way to the western outskirts of the dominating position of Lassigny anti further south in this hill and wooded region have debouched from the Thiescourt wood and also captured the town of Phn- Imes., situated in the (Ii se valley on the Noyon-Compeigne road. Around the curve in the battle line northwest of SoISSIMS, 1111. Freoch from near Ca riepont to Fontenoy, the Aisne, a distance of approximately nine miles, have driven back the enemy to tin average depth of more than a mile 111111 capthred several vil- lages and 2,210 prisoners. Unofficial reports record the cap- ture by the British of the railway stal- lion on the western outskirts of tile Important town of Hoye, one of the pivotal points on the battle front be- !ween the Somme and the Oise. Viewed on the war maps,. the gains In the vew operations are most im- portant_ ones for the allies, for aside front wide areas over which the ene- my has been compelled to ackflOWI- edge defeat, the weakening in the German defense is becoming daily more not and it with- in a short time they probably will be forced to commenee a retrograde movement on a Neale that will mean the entire blotting out of the old lines and the taking up of flea. ones to the east and southeast possibly from the region of Rheims and Ypres. The Lys salient is fast fading away under the attacks of the British apd the voluntary retirement of the Ger- mans to new defense positions east- ward, and seemingly the big westerly bulge Into the trilled lide between Ypres and La Bassae soon must dis- appear. Under the new gains of the British around Hoye and particularly those made by the French from Lassigny to the Oise valley and northwest of Sols- sons, the Germans now are in a toad predicament. lit -re their positions are dominated by the allied guns from the west, r.outhwest and south for many miles and apparently a retreat east- ward across the plains of Picardy and over the Somme and even from the western Aisne will be necessitated. Over a front of four miles between Bailleul and Vieux Berquin on the Lys sector. the British have forced back the Germans to a depth ranging from 1,000 to 200 yards, taking In the maneuver the village of Gutter- steen and 490 prisoners. A little to the south along the Lys river near Merville the British have also ad- vanced their line. and still farther south, between Arras and Albert, the Gentians have been relieved under pressure of further terrain near Hue - buoy. -The latest German official commu- nication asserts that French attacks between the Oise and Aisne. deliver- ed over 11 wide front, failed, but the French war office statement Is spe- cific in announcing • the penetration of the environs of Lassigny, the cut- ting of a passageway through the Thiescourt wood and the ( - 111>1 tire of Pimprez. That there has been hard fighting, however. Is indicated by the British official statement whieh says that northwest of Chaulnes the Ger- mans succeeded in penetrating the British lines at several points, but later were driven out. • Additional American troops arrived last week in Vladivostok to aid the otIMr international troopa in their operations against tire Bolshevik' and German forces in Siberia. Washington, Aug. 20. -Information furnished by officers of vessels at- tacked by Gertnali submarines along the American coast has strengthened the,bellef held by several officials here that the enemy raiders have had coin- muniention'with persons on shore. and Nay even have landed members of their crews in an effort to secure re- liable Information.
