I -- - I GERMANS RACING BACK TO uim DENBURG LINE, WHERE THEY MAY MAKE FINAL STAND Allied Forces During Past Week Hav. Made Important Gains, Capturinn Thousands of Teutons and Quantities of Guns. Tak-in- g Paris. The German army is being rapidly driven back to the old Hinden burg line, where it is expected a final desperate stand will be taken in an endeavor to stop the onrushing allied forces. The Hun forces are exhibiting sign of having lost their earlier enthusiasm and there seems to be a general feeling of depression and gloom, as evidenced among the prisoners captured. And many prisoners are being taken, as well as so many guns that all count has been lost. On some parts of the northern battle front the British have readied points a thousand yards from the old line, which seems strongly held. In addition to crossing the road at many places, the British have made progress southward for a considerable distance with the cavalry operating in front of the IIlinden-bur- g Albert-Bapau- nfantry. In the engagements of the last week the French have captured Lassigny and have driven a deep wedge to the north, with its base on the line In the fighting the French have taken about 12,000 prisoand more than 200 guns. They have placed Noyon in a pocket and have outflanked the enemy positions along the Vesle river. While these operations were in progress the British, who. had been held up temporarily in their drive south of Albert, launched an offensive north of that place which has been successful in every way. The Germans have frequently in the last few days, in aa effort to wear out the attackers and to hold positions which are the mainstay of the German right flank in the P- ners counter-attacke- icardy salient. Once these d positions are lost, the Huns must go back beyond Bapaume and Peronne to the Hindenburg line. .Already Bapaume is outflanked to the north, where the British have taken Ervillers and are near St. Leger. Since July 15 the allies have taken about 110,000 prisoners, and of these about 40,000 have been captured in the last week. Although no accurate count of light and heavy cannon captured has been made public, the reports made from day to day would indicate that the allies had taken between 1300 and 1500. During the week the Germans raided the American positions along the Vesle, in order to ascertain, no doubt, whet- General Foch was preparing a drive from that direction. In Lorraine the Americans wiped out a sharp salient apexing into their lines when they captured the town of Frapelle, inflicting heavy losses on the foe. her SPURN SPANISH THREAT. - , 1 West-Hira- m I I I Ger-ou- I Hesse-Casse- l, man-pow- er J pres-explosio- n I g rf - in Relations With Germany Intensified By Attitude.
