LONDON, August 5.--Foch is giving

the Germans no rest. French and American troops yesterday captured Flames, a grealt enemy storehouse. Braisne is closely Invested and thc south bank of the Vesle river; from Rheims to Soissons, has been clear_ed of the foe.

The Allied advance in this region

has become so menanclng that yester- day it was announced enemy troops had carried out a retirement on a front of between 8 to 10 miles along the Avre river to fthe west of/Mont didier. Tremendous losses have been inflicted by Foch's armiesl and an of- ficial despatch from Paris yesterday stated that when the number of pris~ oners 'captured during the last two or three days is announced it will thrill the Allied world. '

Once -more the elements have been

unkind to the Teutons. for heavy rains have swollen the Vesle river to such an extent that their rearguards were unable tc ford the stream, and they , were compelled to ilglrt for their lives~ but without success. Most of these

msn were k_illed_ cr inside prisoners.

LUDENDORFF ,CANNOT MAKE A STAND

Ludendorff is not being given an

opportunity and he probably has no inten-tion of making s stand on north bank of the Vesle. for already the Allied forces 'are_ threatening both flanks of his retreating army. The French war office last night announc- ed that ground had ‘been won north- west cf Rhaims up to the village of La Nouviilono. which is situated about two miles north of the Veele river on the main road frcin -Rheims to the Alsne Canal. The enemy made des- perate efforts 'to check this flanking. move, especially -between Mulzon and Chalnpigny onthe south bank of the river.

The French official statement says.

however, that light elements of Foch's "my succeeded in gaining a foothold on the _north bank to retard the Allied Progress. On his right flank the foe is rushing reinforcements to the Soissons sector from the north pre- sumably from Prince R1lpprecht's ar- my. Unofficial despatches state that the Allies have taken Cuilies. north of Boissons. _

ALLIED PROGRESS ON WEST BANK OF A\/RE

Recording the enemy retirement in

the Mon-tdidier region the war omca last night announced that betw-. ' Castel and Mesnil St. George, on the west _bank of the Avre, the Germans were forced to abandon a -part of their lIUliilons._ while French troops _occu- pied Brachps and penetrated into Har- llcourt.

ful for. '

At the Home the Lieutenant Gov-

io those mon, and the establishment of fills Home was a fitting way ln which to show them, that the country was prepared to look after them and see that their health, when broken. should be restored as far as possible. His Honor made modest reference to the fact that he had placed Govern- ment House at the disposal of the Hospitals Commission having seen the necessity for such a step. I-fe ther. called upon the Premier, Honorable A. E. Arsenault. who moved the follow- ing resolution: “That on this Fourth Anniversary of the Declaration of a rlghtsourwar, this meeting of Citizens of Charlottetown records its inflexible'

determination to continue to a vlct`orI~_ ous end the struggle In the malntnn~_,` ance of those Ideals of liberty and _litlif tlco which are the common and stored cause of the Allies." . ' - -
