Paris, Aug. 26. (Havas.)?The lumber of prisoners taken by the British since Aug. 21 has reached 20,000, the Petit Journal declares. According to La Journal three new I jerman divisions have been identi-' ied opposite the British. Since Aug. j 5 nearly fifty German divisions nave >een in the fighting against the Britsh. Great Things Expected. Paris, Aug. 26.?The allied high :ommand had great hopes in the British army and the latest newsj 'rom the front shows that these lopes will not be disappointed, says li'Heure. It declares that the Britsh have obliged the German staff to idmit defeat. Marcel Hutin, in the Echo de Pars, points out that the British advanced by local thrusts which tore &Tge holes in the German lines, rhat the enemy has been unable to hwart these maneuvers, he says, jroves the tremendous superiority l A Atror "fVio nac me anies nave gaiutu ?u?

He de:lares 4hat the allied success north >f the Somme is a purely British victory. French Official. Paris, Aug. 26.?Heavy bombardnents in the region of Roye and>etween the Oise and the Ailette j ivers are reported in the official j statement issued Dy tne war omce ;oday. The text of the statement reads: "Very vigorous artillery actions >ccurred during the night in the region of Roye and Beuvraignes, three niles to the south of Roye. The ar;illery fire also was heavy on the j kilette, Oise, and Aisne rivers. "Two fJerman surnrise attacks in! ;he Vosges sector were without result and we took prisoners. The light was calm on the rest of the front." MOONLIGHT PICNICS GALORE. Monday must have been named ifter the moon. At any rate, Monday night ought to have been called 'Moonnight" this week, for it was he time of moonlight picnics galore. Miss Annie Welborn arranged a nost delightful excursion to Little Mountain in honor of her charming visitor from Belton, Miss Nancy r*itr Tl '? I ?? King. Twenty of the more prominent members of the younger social set made merry as the big truck rolled down the hill by the City Park, chugged up Blue Hill, or dashed along the road to the mountain called Little. There, on the slope near the spring, plate suppers were served in a manner worthy of New York's Four Hundred. Chocolate candy was also in abundance and so sweetened the spirits of the young people that they caused the hills to resound with beautiful melodies.. (Editor's note.?We don't know :hat there were any hills around, but this was put in to make the story romantic.) About twelve o'clock, "Vic" returned home, and this was \ proof thati the good time was nearly at an end. From the farewell exclamations of those present, it was evident that they were unanimously in fa^r of Miss Welborn arranging another excursion. But another picnic was moQnlighting at the same time. The "North Main Inner Circle" got a truck and a chaperon and started off in the lirection of Due West. After disturbing the repose of the Holy City, '.hey turned Westward like the Gauls and invested Cold Springs. The mineral water made the basket lunches taste all the better and it was a happy crowd of young people that sleepy Abbeville welcomed back, just as clocks began their second circuit.

Senate Believes Such a Provision is Necessary to the Winning of the War. Washington, Aug. 26.?The Senate. Military Committee today again de-j clared a "work-or-fight amendment to the man-power bill necessary to a successful prosecution of the war. j when it reported the house bill with! this amendment attached. The House Saturday voted down the amendment. Should it pass the Senate, it is likely to prove the stum-j bling block in conference that mayi delay enactment of the law. The military committee also cut out the Treadway amendment providing that Provost Marshal General Crowder appoint a special staff of examiners to reclassify the men in the' deferred classes. Members of the committe said General Crowder already had power to reclassify the lists. Prohibitionists stepped aside and gave the man-power bill right of way when the Senate convened today. Senator Sheppard, in charge of the bill, which is the unfinished business, obtained unanimous consent that the military bill be given precedence. in Greenville. From the account of one who has seen him play ball and says he is one of the best diamond stars ever seen in this vicinity, he t ought to be a fine officer, especially \ of a platoon of bombers. t SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY 1 AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH * Every member of the Abbeville Baptist church is earnestly desired I at Sunday School next Sunday morning at ten o'clock in order to make our attendance reach our aim which s is 200.

Vesle Front, Aug. 27,?American troops today attacked the Germans in the region of Bazoches, three miles west of ' Fismes. Simultaneously the Germans attacked the American lines at Fismette. about a mile north west of Fismes. Infantry fighting in the outskirts of Bazooches is continuing. The Vmericans at present are holding the upper hand. . Paris, Aug. 27.?French troops have captured the town of Roye. Resumption of activity is reported in the Noyon region. The French are i also attacking along the Ailette line and pushing southward toward Coucy-le-Chatfiau. General Mangin has won possession of high ground south of Crecyqu-Mont, from where the German positions north and east of Soissons are being heavily shelled. These positions are now subjected to a double fire as they {foe also being shelled from a French line along the Ainse. LIEUTENANT BILL PERRIN. It is now Lieutenant Bill Perrin. This popular young soldier received : his commission just recently, following a rapid rise from the ranks.
