[By Associated Prens | While there are no definite reports of the resumption of ithe drive on the southern and Picardy lines, Paris dispatches indicate that the French, making fresh progress, are advancing steadily toward Noyon.

Big Guns Roar on Thirty-Mile Front in the Picardy Theatre [By United Prexs} ! PARIS, Aug. 14.—A great artillery battle is raging on a ;30-mile front in the’ French sector between the Avre and Oise river. In the Oise Valley, however, General Humbert is strik- ing northward almost at right angles to the main front.

British headquarters today reported increased activity in |Flanders, with a slight advancement at two points and artillery- ing in Picardy. While the Germans have gained their equilibrium in Picardy temporarily and apparently are making a stand on the |Bray-Roye-Lassigny-Noyon line, they are showing unusuah nervousness on the whole front. They are trying hy small raids for prisoners to learn where Foch’s next blow will land. Meanwhile, Foch is keeping them guessing by exerting pressure at vital points.
