FURY IS SPENT AND SECOND PHASE DIES After Three Days Fighting Ha* Hesolved Itself Into Isolated Engagement*. (Sunday.1 The second phase of the great hattie along the Somme. which the Germans began on Thursday last, has died down. It lasted less than three dayR, and the fighting has resolved ftself into more or less isolated engagements, in which the French and British allies have more than held their own. The attention of the Germans f'.r the present is mainly directed at the lower end of the battle zone, which apparently they are attempting to onhirge for the putpose of getting elbow room in which to move their vast masses of troops. Meanwhile, General Foch, the commander-in-chief of the allies, is beuaander-in-chief of the allies, is biding his time, meeting the German as HamiH wun powerful resistance, and here and there conformine his lines to the necessities of the battle. It is confidently stated at Paris that Foch will not be drawn into any false move?where each move is of such vital importance?but will strike with his reserves at the moment chosen by him.

At the outset of the great German offensive, when it was sweeping the allied f?rces before it, notwithstanding thoir tenacious resistance, Emperor William. it was announced officially from Berlin, was in supreme cc raand.
