GERMANS CONTINUE TO I/)SE.
Evacuations ut Homo Point?-At Oth
ers Driven Before Allies.
Washington. Aug. 14.-.North and
south of the Somme the (lennans
havo lost furthher important ground.
In the former region they have evac
uated their positions over a live-mile
front to tho British north of Albert,
while In the latter they have been
heaton hack In tho hill and wooded
dist riet Just north of tho Oise river
hy the Preach.
Gorman front lino trenches al
Beaumont Hamel, Serre, Puisieux
au-.Mont and Bucquoy have been
found untenable hy the enemy in the
face of tho recent activity by the
British all along the line from Albert
to Arras, while tho Kreuch have per
severed lu their violent attacks
against tho Germans on the sector
which dominates the lower portion
of the Picardy plain und tho oise
valley and have encroached further
upon the Lassigny Massif and tho
Thleucourt plateau, and farther
south have captured the Important
town of lllbecourt.
Unofficial reports have announced
tho capture of Lassigny hy tho
French and of all the German posi
tions between tho western outskirts
of Bray-Sur-Sotnine and Btinehetn
hy tho Australians. Thore ls, how
ever, no official confirmation of them.
Prom tho Somme to tho Oiso, ex
cept In the latter region whero the
French have made further gains, the
Germans seemingly have had further
success in holding back tho allied
troops and still are in possession of
Chaulncs and Itoye, upon tho cap
ture of which tho efforts of tho Brit
ish and French have been centored.
On this central part of tho battlo
front the enemy continues to deliver
counter-attacks and also has further
reinforced his line with tuen and
guns and ls using them without stint
to retain his positions, realizing that
their capture would spell disaster.
Huns Evacuate Positions.
London, Aug. 14.-Tho Germans
have evacuated their forward posi
tions at Beau mon t-H a mel, Serre,
Pulsieux-au-Mont and Bucquoy, ly
ing in tho region north of Albert,
according to Field Marshal llalg's
communication issued to-night.
French Take Ribecourt.
Paris. Aug. 14.-The town of Itibe
court, on tho road leading to Noyon
and six and one-half miles south
west of that town, has been captured
by tho French, according to the olll
dal statoment issued to-night.
Allies Continue Advance.
Now York, Aug. 1"?.-The lighting
on the Somme-Oise battle front still
continuos Of n minor character, com
pared with that of the early pari of
the week, when the .lennans rein
forced their line and stopped Ibo
eastward sweep Of the nilled torcos.
Nevertheless, the British and
French again have been able to gain
-ground on two important sectors -
the British a short distance north
west of Roye, whero they took the
villages of Onmery and Parvillers,
and the French on the southern wing
Of the battlo front, where they have
captured two farms in the process of
clearing the hilly and wooded dis
irict around Lassigny of tho enemy.
Gormans Continue to Fall Hack.
North of the Somme, between Al
bert and Arras, the Germans are con
tinuing to fall back, and tho British
are keeping in closo contact with
them. Thus far the Germans have
definitely given up tho towns of
Beaumont-Hamol, Serre, Bucquoy
and Puisicu-au-Mont and at several
points have crossed the Ancre river,
with the British following closely on
their trail. No official explanation
has yet been advanced of the retro
grade of tho Germans over this front,
but it is not at all unlikely that the
operations on the Somme front nod
tho harassing tactics tho British re
cently have omployed made the en
emy desirous of establishing himself
on new ground eastward, with thc
Ancre river a barrier between him
and his foes. At any rate, thc IIc
butorno salient has virtually been ob
literated hy tbe retirement of the
Germans, and seemingly they now
will be compelled to make a read
justment ot' their line between the
Somme and Arras.

Pressure Renewed in Royo Region.
New York, Aug. 16.--Allied pres
sure has been effectively renewed
against tho German line in the region
of Roye, on the Picardy battle front.
The enemy is clinging determinedly
to this town as a bulwark of the po
sitions he took up after being driven
hack from the Amiens region. Both
tho French and the British are push
ing closer, however, and making bia
prolonged tenancy of the place doubt
ful.
London last night reported the
British lines advanced northwest of
Roye, in the neighborhood of Damery
and Parvillors, whilo to-day Paris re
ports a forward movement on the
part of the French west and south
west of Roye, on a front of about two
and a half miles.
Roye ls fast becoming the virtual
apex of a salient which will soon in
vite a crushing allied stroke if the
Franco-British pressure can lu; effect
ively maintained as it has been re
cently.
Appointment of Gen. Von Boonu,
who led the retirement from the
Marne, to tho command of the Ger
man group In Picardy is confirmed
officially from Berlin. It ls believed
In London that because of tho scar
city of reserves the Germans will
light on tho defensive on their pres
ent line. Fifteen reserve divisions
havo boon thrown In between the
Ancre- and the Oise, and the enemy
ls said to have only 10 frosh divisions
on the ontlro front from tho North
Sea to Switzerland.

SUBMARINE SINKS ANOTHER.
oil Tanker Torpedoed Near New
York-Seven ol' Crow Dead.
New York, August 14.-A German
submarine, approaching the very j
gates of New York harbor, sank tho
oil tanker Frederick H. Kellogg, off ?
the Ambrose Channel last night.
Thirty-five members of thc crew
brought here to-day, reported that
seven others are missing. These sur
vivors were picked up by an Ameri
can steamship.
The Frederick H. Kellogg was a
new tank steamship of 7,127 lons
gross register, valued at more than \
$1,500,000. Under command of ?
Capt. C. H. White, she was on her
way from Tampico, Mexico, to Bos
ton, with a cargo of approximately i
7 0,000 barrels of crude oil. |
The ship was owned by the Petro- ,
leam Transport Company and was
launched a year ago this month at
Oakland, Cal. . j
Torpedoed without warning at
6.10 o'clock last evening, the Kellog
sank In three minutes, said members
of her crew on coming ashore here
to-day. The force of the explosion
was terrific, they declared, and the
seven missing men who were in the
engine room, are believed to have
been killed. No submarine was seen,
according to Capt. White. i
Bowed for Three Hours.
The survivors, in small boats,
rowed for three hours toward shore
when a freighter took them aboard, j
One of the crew reported his narrow
escape when be was caught below
decks by the rapidly sinking ship.
He was carried down by the suction,
he asserted, but swam to tho surface
and reached one of the boats.
Members of the Kellogg's crew
declared that while making for shore
I they saw a submarine operating un
der attempted concealment. A dory
suddenly rose out of tho water, they
said, and from one of the many holes
In Its keel a periscope protruded.
The dory floated for some time,
tho sailors asserted, as though de
signed to attract passing steamships
toward it, then disappeared.
Five members of the crew of the
sunken oil tanker were to-day offi
cially reported dead.
Another Schooner Sunk.
Washington, Aug. 15.-Seaplanes
and naval patrol boats attacked with
depth charges a German submarine
which shelled and set fire to the
American schooner Dorothy Barrett
yesterday afternoon off Cape May,
New Jersey.
Navy reports to-day said one
bomb from a seaplane exploded
within 75 feet of tho bubbles and
wake from the U-boat which had sub
merged when the planes and patrols
were sighted. When the planes had
completed their attack two patrol
boats closed in and let go depth
bombs. Tlie result luis not been de
termined.
The crew abandoned the schooner
as soon as the submarine appeared
and opened tire and have been land
ed safely at Cape May. Navy dis
patchos to-day did not make clear
whether the vessel was destroyed.
She was bound from New York for
Norfolk when attacked six miles from
the northeast-end lightship near Cape
May.
Mine sweepers have been sent to
the scene, as there is a possibility
that mines were laid in the vicinity,
as was the case when tho raiders
made their ilrst appearance in
American waters last May.
This submarine probably is the
one which Tuesday evening torpe
doed the oil tanker Frederick lt. Kel
logg ?IO milos south of Ambrose
light.

ican tank steamer Kellogg, torpedoed
Tuesday evening by a German sub*
marine, is still atloat 16 miles off

missing, hut the navy has no confir
mation of reports that live men were
killed by the explosion of the torpedo.

Movement of Mon Not to Ile Inter
rupted by Kv!'?Mistbm Class 1.
Washington, Aug. IT?.-The draft
program and plans of the War De
partment are of such a character that
the rapid movement of troops to
France is continuing, Secretary Ba
ker said to-day, and by reason of the
very great assistance given hy the
British government in ( placing so
much shipping at the disposal of the
American government, tho depart
ment hopes to continue the acceler
ated movement overseas.
There now are approximately 2,
GOO.OOO American soldiers in this
country and ov irseas, Mr. Baker
added. The reservoir in the United
States is such that even with tho ex
hausting for a time of the eligibles In
Class" 1, the movement of men over
seas would not be interrupted.
Fourteen national army diviulons
already are in France, the Secretary
said, and these have been included
In the new field army organization
recently announced by Gen. Persh
ing. There also arc twelve national
guard divisions, including the Rain
bow organization, overseas, together
with five regular anny divisions.
GERMANY FIGURES MAN-POWER.
Losses Estimated at ?,000,000 Since
thc Beginning of tho War.
Paris, Aug. 16.-The total German
losses from the beginning of the war
to the end of July, 1918, are under
stood to be 6,000,000, according to
the morning newspapers.

ed up to the beginning of the Ger
man offensive last March. From
March 27 to June 17, the Germans
are said to have lost 1 20,000 killed
alone.
Ludendorff Seeks More Men,
With the British Army in France,
Aug. 16.-Germany bas acknowledg
ed that her man-power, once so
freely wasted, now ls dwindling in
proportions great enough, apparent
ly, to cause considerable anxiety to
the high command. The toll taken,
particularly in recent fighting, by the
allied armies, and the prospect of be
ing confronted by ever-growing
American forces, has caused Gen.
Ludendorff to issue most imperative
orders for a vigorous, immediate
comb-out in the German army iu or
der to recover from auxiliary units
all men capable of entering the
trenches.
The comb-out, says the order issued
by Gen. Ludendorff, first considera
tion will he given to men over 43
? who have served In the front lines
longer than six months. He an
nounces that commissions have been
appointed to investigate the ontire
j situation, including men of every
' rank. All men available for the in
fantry must be sent to depots in BeJ
: gium, the special purpose of the high
; command being to get more infantry
'[ reserves.
i Appended to the order are special
instructions to Field Marshal Von
i Mackensen and Gen. Von Schlots to
J make "a greater demand upon the
local personnel," Instead of using
Germans In tho auxiliary service as
reinforcements.
