GIANT SWING TO
FLANK FLEEING FOE
LONDON,—The great battle ex
tends in unabated fury today fron
Stwssons and Dorman, with the Ger
mans trying tol extricave tkemselvei

perato counters deiv red with flai

The facts show that the German!
have still seven thousand and sixt;
eight thousand men on tho Aisne
Marne front but they arc evidently
pressed fer reserves for the Germai
prisoners taken are dog tired anc
often exhausted with their effort!
marching and fighting to save the
army.
The line runs from the village of
Arneterre on the Aisne to and thru
Coincy, Bcauvardes and reaches Treb
le up on the Marne extending along
that river to the town cf
Dormans where it suddenly bends up
to the Rheims Eperany front.
A scries of flanking movements
mark the latest developments some
cfc' these involving a giant swing
which crept across the Tkeirry rail
road between Soissons and the Ourccj
river where the French brilliantly
boro down all opposition.
The Germans had apparently
figured on a cic/unter offensive of
considerable dimensions in this sec
tion but were completely frustrated
by the genius of General Foeh who
anticipated this m;ove with marvel
lous flcfesight.
The fighting is continuous, fero
cious and desperate, the Gfrmru gen
erals striving to clear their main
armies from the penetrating salient
without some decisive surrender.

PARIS,—The most important de
velopment between the Marne and
Aisne on Thursday has been the con
tinued victorious progress of the
Americans. They successfully cross
ed the Fere-En-Tardenois and Jual
gonn rt«d gaining the much de
sired footing in the Rix Forest.
The situation is developing with
I lightening rapidity as the German
rout increases and the British and
French forces continue to stab the
armies as they retire with crushing
blow's in the flanks.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—A wireless
from Russia annc)ances the complete
and crushing defeat of the White
Guard at Jaroslav by the Bolsheviki
forces, the latter taking the town,
five thousand prisoners and compell
ing the White Guard to flee across
the Volga.
LONDON,—The whcjle country is
astounded by the strike developments
which reached a climax this morn
ing, when two hundred thousand
munition workers walked cut. Every
demand they had mad.? had been
refused. The press is demanding an
immediate settlement and the gov
ernment officials are in some scath
ingly denounced for their lack of
foresight in letting matters go to
such a head.. Efforts to mediate
have begun.
JUSTICA ON WAY
AMERICA DIVERED
LONDON,—The ten thousr-.nr t^:
Cunard liner Justieia but compara
tively recoi.tly built was torpedoed
by a German submarino off the
coast of Ireland when bound for
Ameiica to carry troops tc4 France,
The liner was light and carried nc
freight, but had on board a crovj
and passenger list of six hundred
The passengers were all saved and
but four of the crew were lest 1.:
tho explosion which rank the liner
The Admiralty reports state that ir
all ten tefrpedoes were launched ai
the liner by the German U boat, from
a long distance, four of these were
exploded by gun fire, three missed
their quarry while one struck home
causing tho sinking. The diver was
visible in the distance only by its
periscope and permitted little op
portunity flc|r gunners on hoard the
Justicia to sink the diver.
All agreed, that the liner was
splendidly manoeuvered and it was
hoped that it had just cleared the
danger when it received its death
blow from the torpedo.
The Justicia is one of the new
standardized Cunard ships which
have been built in considerable num
ber in British yards of late. The
evssel was not remarkable for
m,ore than the average speed but
was very easily handled, a factor
almost as valuable in the danger
zone.
The boat sank slowly and the
small loss of life is thus accounted
for.

LEWIS TELLS SENATE
GERMAN PEACE OFFER
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Thursday
in the Senate, Senatfcfr James Hamil
ton Lewis told that body that in
formation had reached the govern
ment that the recent German peace
offer had been made granting con
cessions on the west fnefat but ask
ing for a free hand in the east would
b presented officially within a few
days.
Lewis said that Germany was ap
parently ready to grant those things
which the Allies were fighting for
and that probably this would be
fcllowed by German propaganda
to show the Allies that that it is
therefore useless to continue to
fight for territory according to <<:
ficials.
The Senator’s speech which was
delivered to a crowded Senate is
said' to indicate that President Wil
son in his announcement as tel the
Russian policy of the Allies, will
make it clear beyond any question
that Russia will not be allowed, re
gardless of western concessic|is, to
become a German vassal.
The speech of Snator Lewis an
nouncing that Germany was willing
| to make such concessions in the west
indicate also that Germany was ready
! to restore the independent sover
! eignty of Belgium, Alasace-Lor
raine In response to the French de
mands and possibly the Italian de
mands fc)r Italia Irredenta. This is
a matter of speculation, but neces
sarily to be concluded from the
| observations made on the subject
■ of these concesskjns by the Senator
j from Illinois.

GERMANS RETIRE BUT
REAR GUARD RESISTS
LONDON,—Wednesday evening
the situation on the west front
showed but little change, the Ger
mans retiring northeast of Thierry
and. suffering large looses in men
and equipment, the equipment ow
ing to the hasty nature of the main
retirement, and the. heavy losses in
men t/wing to the stubborn resist
ance which the roar guard units
have been desperately Interposing
to the Franco-American advnce.
Thi3 rear guard resistance has
been conducted wholly without re
gard to the losses that they entailed,
and they have been so far success
ful in greatly retarding the Allies
advance.
The enemy however yesterday af
ternoon began to shc|w signs of being
more ready to abandon positons
and several very important positions
were relinquished because of the
American gunfire, quite regardless
of their strength.
The greatest German kfsses w re
probably south of Soissons when the
Germans with fresh reserve divisions
endeavored to counter attack wif.li
tremendous force. These mar.scd. at
tacks came directly u^der the fire
of the American artillery and tho
attacking trocfeis dropped like grain
before the reaper. The attack was
promptly abandoned. The infantry
attacks cf tho Franco-American
troops continue to make progress
slov/ly but surely notwithstanding
the resistance cf the Germans.

resistance. These counters are cost

is beginning to show signs of lack
