BIGGEST ALLIED DRIVE
SINCE SPRING 1917
PARIS,—The Franco-American of
fensive which began on Thursday
was accompanied by most remark
able success. The greatest depth
reached on Thursday evening was
four miles with thousands of prison
ers, twelve villages and enormous
quantities of supplies taken.
This was the biggest Allied drive
eince Spring 1917 and iis success
and its remarkable speed in carry
ing every object is not the least
wonderful of its features.
Tanks supported the movement of
Infantry which followed a heavy
barrage fire sown with systematic
precision ahead of the advancing
troops and accounting for the small
loss of life.
All opposition, thanks to the
immeasudable superiority of the
American machine gun units, was
mowed down or captured.
The Germans made several frantic
attempts to stop the rush but each
one was futile, costing enormous
toll from the enemy.
The drive, Is the unofficial opinion
here, was designed to cut Soicsons
and Rheims away from the danger
ous Teuton encirclement and also
to force back the Germans attack
ing in tho Marne valley.
The French re-occupied Nautella,
Lafocse, Bois Du Roi Venteuil and
Briere as well as those Rheims
positions which had on Monday
been evacuated before the Germans.
Tho capture of the Marne positions
had a very disconcerting effect upon
the local German command and con
fusion evidently reigned by the
sweep forward of the French and
American troops, dislocating the
FAMOUS CUNARDER
GOES TO BOTTOM
LONDON,—The famous Cunard
Liner Carpathia was sent to the
bottom by a German submarine’s
torpedo.
The Carpathia was light and out
ward bound when the boat was
divered. The entire crew and bas
senger list is accounted for and
saved. The fate of the Carpathia
excites a good deal of sentimental
regret mainly on account of its
historic saving of the survivors of
the ill-fated. Titanic when the new
White Star boat struck the ice
berg off Cape Race.
On that occasion the heroic work
of the Cunarder which itself put on
full speed thru the dangerous ice
berg zone to effect the rescue of
the passengers, alone accounts for
tho large number saved from the
sunken White Star boat. The same
captain commanded the Carpathia
when it was sunk and the skipper
who commanded when the boat
raced to the scene of the Titanic
disaster.
ALBANIANS TURN ON
THEIR TEUTON MASTERS
PARIS,—Eager at first to co
operate with the conquering Teutons
the native Albanian trcops that had
been requisitioned by the Ten ton:
are now in revolt against the Aus
trian and Gorman officers following
the reverses sustained by the lattei
at the hands of the Allies.
News dispatches show that th
Albanian troops are everywhere Th
ing against the Teutons and mas
sacreing them who are retreating
rapidly in some confusion to Duraz.it
where they hope to make a stand
and to find, safety
The Allied troops rro gradual!1
sweeping northwards and the out
look for Teuton control of ihs
territory is rapidly grwing very dark
The severity of the discipline to
which the native troops had' been
subjected has made them eager to
tnrow off their allegiance to the
Teutons and a large number of tb •
'-after have been butchered by their
former commands in cold blood. The
Allies have come upon many dead
bodies that had been slain by the
Albanian troops. The situation in
Albania Is continuing to dev icp
strongly in favor of the Allies.
BAKER MAKES RULING
ABOUT BALL PLAYERS
WASHINGTON. D. C.—The much
discussed question as to the status
of the baseball players in the country
•was finally decided by Secretary of
War Baker who ruled that the play
ers must work or fight and that
under no understanding of their
calling could the ball players be
regarded as engaged in an essential
work.
The smaller clubs claim that the
ruling of the Secretary cf War will
place all minor leagues practically
out of commission and. the same
thing is asserted by many of the
major magnates.
LOSS OF LIFE
WAS VERY SMALL
LONDON,—Friday afternoon the
British admiralty announced that
five seamen on board the Carpathia
were killed when that steamer was
torpedoed by the German diver.
The rest of the 232 passengers and
the crew were safely landed.
The explosion of the torpedo caus
ed the deaths of the seamen as
reported, the missile striking the
Cunarder amidships.
For some time the Cunarder has
been used as a troopship and has
been very fortunate in escaping the
attentions of the divers. The at
tack was made upon the liner in a
heavy fog and it is not reported
that the diver was seen at any
time, by its victim.
JURY DISAGREES IN
CASE JOHN O’LEARY
NEW YORK,—The jury in the
case of the United States versus
John O’Leary has been discharged
after being out over 24 hours and
unable to agree. John was charged
with a treasonable conspiracy to
aid his brother Jeremiah O’Leary
to escape the espionage and treason
charges upon which he is indicted.
It will bo recollected that O’Leary
was taken at Sara Washington where
he lived on a chicken ranch.

enemy plans of defense against suchl
counter attacks. How completely
taken by surprise in this counter
were the Germans is to be seen in
the fact that the Germans had con
centrated troops in the Prunay sec
tor of the Champaigne front and
th- selected shock troops including
tho Prussian guard had started
their forward drive in this locality
when they were confronted by the
double French attack, the counter
evidently taking an offensive feature
on both sides of tho Aisne and
Morne fronts and this completely
disconcerted the most elaborate
plans of the German high command.
So successful was the French at
tack against this well planned Ger
man drive that not only were the
Prussian guard troops heavily re
pulsed but Beau Jour, Massignes
iand other highly strategic positions
on this front fell into French hands
as a result of the battling.
LONDON,—Foch’s extraordinarily
brilliant stroke on the Marne-Aisne
front is itself not less conspicuous
than the wonderful clan of the
American troops which swept down
all opposition as ably as the French
veterans with whom they fought.
The daring nature of the attack
does more to strengthen the com
plete confidence of the Allies in
the ability of Foch as a master
strategist than anything that has
cropped up since he was given su
preme command in the west front.
The stroke was as brilliantly con
ceived as it was splendidly executed
say the military experts in comment
ing on the battle in local pap rs.
CZAR SHOT SAYS

from Russia again says that the
Czar Nicolas has been shot.
The execution took place accord

July 16 after the control of the
Ural mountains had passed out of
the hands of the Bolsheviki.
Who was responsible for the exe
cution is not stated.
