Hun Reinforcement
Fail To Check Driv
BRITISH COMMANDER LAUNCI
iES BLOW NORTH OF OLD
BATTLE ZONE.
While the Germans were busily ei
gagedf in defending themselves f
gainst the attacks of the French ar
British armies from the Ancre riv<
to the region of Soissons, Field Ma
shal Haig early Monday mornir
struck another surprise blow over
new front north of the old batt
zone. The new offensive was launc]
ed from the east ofArras on tl
Scarpe river and southward to tl
Cojeul. All along the front the Bri
ish pressed forward, at some plac<
o a depth of more than two mil<
and captured a half dozen or moi
Preux, Guemappe and Wancourt.
Across the Cojeul the new Britis
ittacks on the old batle front brougl
;hem to the villages ofMory and S
Leegr, and farther south the sma
;own of Favreuil one and a half mile
lortheast of Bapaume, from whic
;he British pressed on eastward i
jout a mile. Farther south the Bril
sh are reporten unofficially "to hav
eached the western outskirts of Ti
oy in the nipper movement they ar
:arrying out against Bapaume. Wit
laig's men now standing well withi
;he gun range of the town, it seem
ikely that the Germans will be for<
?d to evacuate Bapaume in short oi
ler.
Additional gains also have bee
nade by the British east of Albei
md on both sides "?f the Somme rh
ir.ln fact, notwithstanding the ei
arts of the Germans through the '
>f large reinforcements to hold ther
n check the British and French a

JAPAN'S TROOPS CONCENTRATE
ON SIBERIAN FRON
London, Aug. 26.? Japanes
troops are completing their concei
tration on the Ussuri front, accor<
ing to dispatches from Vladivosto!
A.t Engeneuka, sailors supported b
armored cars? attacked the Bolshev
ki forces in the face of heavy a
tillery fire and routed them.
The strike at Vladivostok is te
minating in a fiasco as striking la
orers have been paid off and Chine:
substituted for them. At the arsen
shops a serious clash between stri
ers and non-strikers occurred but a
lied patrols intervened. The dispat<
says that the Bolshevik agitation
mang various elements of workm<
is subsiding.
It is reported that Americans ha1
privately loaned the city of Vla(
vostok 3,500,000 rubles, taking tl
tramways as security.
