[By Valted Press] PARIS, Aug. 20.—The French, attacking on a 10-mile front this morning between the Qize and the Aisne rivers advanced a maxi- mum of two miles within a few hours, driving a big wedge into the most vital portion of the west front. German positions at the southern jend of the Picardy and the western edge of the Soissons-Rheims fronts are in danger of being outflanked. Perhaps it will force the Germans to withdraw to Chemin des Dames. Over 500 additional prisoners have heen taken already. Simultaneously, the French struck on a wide front north of the Oise river, where they reached the outskirts of Thiescourt, captured Braquemont and Fendu woods and most of the village of Beauvraignes. The average advance here was one mile against stubborn resi-tauce. All the hills commanding the Aisne and the Ailette valleys were taken and Audignicourt ravine was completely turned. They forced the enemy to withdraw his heavy artillery behind Noyon. General Mangin’s army is delivering the main French attack. (By United Presse] i / PARIS, Aug. 20.—The French advanced between the Oise and the Aisne Riverse last night, capturing the village of Vasseus, the war office today announced.

The French virtually hold Lassigny and 4 are within five miles of Noyon, and have penetrated farther toward Roye. The French advance hetween the Oise and the Aisne not only threatens the German lines to the north, but may compel a retirement A in the Soissons region to the eastward. The whole 30-mile German . line hetween Roye and Fontenoy is seemingly about to collapse and = positions may be affected ten miles farther east to beyond oissons. $1,134,000 Wyoming will raise $10,050,000, » called fc during the next or fourth Liberty h ‘ Loan drive, and Natrona county will furnish as her share some $1,134,000 aecording to thi ures furnished by Louis F.
