16 BRILLIANT OPERATION SURPRISE TO ENEMY; RESPONDS FEEBLYi HAIG'S FORCES PUSH FORWARD SEVEN MILES [Continued from First Page.J French and heavy casualties un doubtedly have been inflicted on the enemy. Thus far everything has been ac complisht-d with excessively small losses to the allies. Of one entire British corps, for in *tance, two hours after the attack began, on!y two officers and fifteen men of iho ranks were reported as casualties. The artillery has followed up the storm troopt, closely and now is burling shells down upon the enemy forces, which, taken by surprise and fiercely attacked, must be in a more or less crippled condition. It Is be lieved that reinforcements are on the way to help them. Moreuil and the country front ad joining Viilers Aux Erables have been taken by the French, while the British have captured the Dodo and Hamel woods and Marcelcave Tfter hard fighting and pushed a consider able distance beyond. Especially hard lighting was ex perienced. and still is in progress, on the left flank of the fighting front iri the neighborhood of Morlancourt. North of the attacked zone the barrage began at 4 o'clock yesterday morning and lasted four minutes. Tanks then rolled forward and with them the infantry swarmed toward the enemv lines. These lines wire reached and passed as a mist started to roll in. Nearly all the country already fought over and that in front of the allied forces is low and rolling and especially adopted to open warfare. J Chases German General When the tanks and the armored j car batteries pressed far forward in, the rolling country there was much agitation among the enemy. A re-1 port came back that a British tank, probably one of the fast little whip- J pets, had been seen chasing a fri^t-1 cned German general up the road. Hut the enemv general was not alone j in the direction in which he was going. Observers reported consider able columns of enemy transports going eastward in a hurry during the middle of the day.

FRIDAY EVENING, RAILWAY UNDER GERMAN FIRE NOW FREED BY ALLIES [Continued From Page One.] have been reached are evidence that the momentum of the allied drive has not nearly spent itself. Armored Tanks Tear German Lines From dispatches from the battlefield, it now appears | that the allies attacked the Germans with little artillery ipreparation, the method pursued resembling on a grand 'scale that adopted by General Byng before Cambrai last : November. Armored tanks in great numbers tore | through the German first-line positions, infantry masses followed, and then through the gaps in the enemy line the cavalry and armored motorcars swept into the back : areas, surprising German detachments and throwing the i whole defensive organization of the enemy into chaos. Germans Abandon Villages Hardly had the German reserve along the Somme been reported than dispatches began to tell of a German retirement in the Flanders sector. Locon, Le Cornet Malo, Quentin, Le Petit Pacaut and Lesart, little vil lages on the extreme western tip of the Lys salient, have been abandoned by the Germans and are now held by the British. This is looked upon as the carrying out of a German withdrawal from the Lys salient, which has been forecast in recent dispatches. The ground held by the Germans in Flanders is very low and is dominated by the allied artillery and a retirement there has been expected. Whole German Line Threatened In its larger aspects the success of the allies south of the f.omme constitutes a very serious threat to the German line, especially to the southward. The advance has not so far weakened the German positions north ward toward Arras, but the enemy finds himself in an embarrassing position around Montdidier, and from that town southeastward at least as far as the Oise river. A further advance of the allies in Picardy would outflank the whole German line as far as the Oise and probably cause an immediate retreat to positions which can be linked up with the Aisne line. With the British Army in France, Aug. 9. —British cavalry and some infantry were signalled in the neigh borhood of Chaulnes this morning. When last heard from directly, they, together with armored cars, were operating back of Framerville, and now have progressed many kilometers beyond, continuing the cleaning up of the country and capturing villages. SHOOTS CHILDREN, TAKES OWN LIFE [Continued from First Page.] sot into the house by breaking it open Searching for his wife, he found her on the bed with the two on the floor nearby. The older boy was unconscious while the youngest was found to have' been killed almost instant>y. Dr. G. M. Schminky, the local physician, was immediately called and frantic ef forts were made to save the life of the unconscious child. It was not deemed advisable to take him to the hospital since it is said he is in too serious condition to undergo the ride. It is said that the woman was a trifle melancholy and that her con dition was brought on by the terrific heat. Coroner Eckinger was called on the case and he stated that he thoughtit unnecessary to hold an in quest. Definite funeral plans have not been made, it was said to-day, but it is probable that the mother and child will be buried together. If the other child dies the three may be buried at the same time.

HEAT WAVE OVER; SUFFERING ENDED Mercury Hovers at 85 Today; Cooling Breezes Add to Comfort of Residents The big heat wave that has been present in Harrisburg during the week has entirely disappeared, tem peratures to-day moderating de cidely. Temperatures throughout the morning and early afternoon ranged around the 85-degree mark. A cool ing breeze is'adding materially to the comfort of Harrlsburgers. No prospect of an additional heat wave such as the one just passing or a wave nearly as hot, is held out by weather bureau officials. A heat wave is moving on Harrisburg from the northwest, but it is not expected to reach the temperatures recorded this week. Reaching here on Sunday, it is expected to raise the mercury to 92 or 9 3 degrees. More Deaths A few additional deaths were re ported yesterday. None of them, however, came as direct results of the hot weather. Harry Rhoades, 34 years old, a laborer at the Stelton plant of the Bethlehem Steel Company, died in the Harrisburg Hospital. He had severely burned on the previous day. The excessive temperature weakened his constitution and h was unable to make a strong fight for life. Several additional prostrations were reported during the day. Among those were G. C. McLaughlin, tield foreman at the government site at New Cumberland, who was prostrat ed by the heat while walking down Second street at 9 o'clock last night. He was treated by Dr. J. D. Swartz.

The Germans put up a vigorous resistance north of the Somme, the statement shows, and there was heavy fighting between Ghip lfly and Morlancourt. The allied progress is continuing. P* French have taken Fresnojr-,en-Chaussee, while the Brit ish have reached a point east of Le Quesnel and Caix. The Germans are evacuating their positions in the Lys valley, on the Flanders front. I he cavalry, tanks and armored cars, it is indicated, have gone ahead of the line running from Framerville to Lihons. The total of prisoners captured is reported to have reached ten thousand. From Lipons the line runs southward to Meharicourt, south-j east of Rosieres. This represents a total maximum advance of eleven miles. It will be impossible for the Germans to hold their Montdidier P u Sl p° nS ' ' s ke'licved here. It also is believed the advance on the Picardy front makes Amiens secure against an enemy attack and has removed the threat against Paris. Along the whole front the average advance of the infantry is from'five to six miles. British Capture Morlancourt The British have captured Morlancourt on the northern end of the Somme battle front, and the infantry line now runs from that point southward to a point southeast of Moreuil. This repre sents an infantry advance to the maximum depth of seven miles iij the center along the Amicns-Chaulnes-La Fere railway. FRENCH CAPTURE NEARLY 3,000 PRISONERS IN 4-MILE ADVANCE On the French Front in France, Aug. 9.—French troops on a front of six miles northwest of Montdidier have advanced to a depth of four miles and captured nearly three thousand prisoners. Important material also was captured. The advance was carried out with extremely light losses. ' The French front runs from the Avre north to a point just south of the Amiens-Rove road where it joins up with the British. 1 he attention of the Germans was fixed on the Vesle attack u hen the new offensive was opened. There was no reply to the French artillery preparation which lasted 45 minutes. I icrman soldiers were captured while harvesting grain in the fields, so complete was the surprise. Moreuil and Morise! were carried by assault. Ihe difficulties of crossing the Avre were overcome rapidly, the French using hastily constructed foot bridges. After taking Braches the French captured La NeuviMe and the series of hills dominating the plain beyond.

IN FRANCE A MONTH, WINS DECORATION [Continued from First Page.] for the treatment and evacuation of men wounded in the first waves of the assault." l>ea\es In June Myers entered active military serv. ice with the Medical Reserve Corps in the early part of May and after being located for slightly less than a month at Camp Greenleaf, Ga., while preparing for active service, Myers went to France on June 3, attached to the 9th Infantry. Entering active duty almost as soon as he got to France, Myers per formed the duties for which he has been cited, sometime in June. On July 5, he wrote to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George R. Myers, that he expected to be decorated, but gave no details of his deeds. That the decoration had actually been made was not known however, until early this morning when the press notices were received. Myers, who is only 28 years old is a graduate of the University of Maryland Medical College from which he was graduated in 1915. He served his interneship in the hos pital attached to that institution and for the past two years had been prac ticing his profession at Coketon, W. Va. He is a member of the Nu Sigma Nu fraternity. While at college Myers made an enviable scholarship record and won several large prizes for general ex celence in scholarship.
