German armies which have been
evicted from strategic positions along
the Vesle river, in the center of the
line and directly east of Rheims which
seemingly renders necessary that they
put the Aisne between themselves and
their pursuers as quickly as possible
Fin order to escape further large losses
of men made prisoners. Just how
large this "bag of captives is at present
can not be reckoned, but unofficial
advices from Paris assert that when
the figures are made public they will

LETTERS FROM THE BOYS I
WHO ARE AVER THERE.!
I
TIis Herald and News is always !
pieaccd to have for publication any j
jp Jev from the boys over there, and j
we krow that our people are now!
rroro than ever interested in them, 'be- j
carse the war has come very much !
nearer home to us since we have i
some of our own hoys there. We were !
all interested before, 'but there is a I
personal touch now which naturally !
increases the interest.
We saw a letter the other day from
Walter Ruff to his mother. It was J
brim full of ?-ood cheer and stated i
that all the boys were having a good :
time and enjoying themselves. And i
the same was the tenor of a letter j
we saw from John Fellers, son of Mr jand
Mrs. L. (M. Fellers. And Mrs. D. |
A. Livingston had a letter from Duane
only a few days ago. Walter Ruff ,
says that he has seen a couple copies (
of The Herald and 'News and it sure
made his heart fee* good to see tire
old paper from his home town,, and
that he read everything in it, advertising
and everything else. iSn tha
merchants and others who advertise
may feel good that their advertis- j
ings are 'being read in Belgium. >For j
the boys are now in Belgium. !
Then we had a letter from Jahu
Livingston to his father and mother.
Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Livingston, and he
has the same good and cheerful spir.
it that the others have. Two cf these
boys seem to :be of the opinion that
it will not ?e lcfeo^ before it is all
over.

The text of the communication fol

".Between Soissons and Fere-enTardenois
the enemy yesterday con
tinued his useless attacks. Strong artillery
duels preceded these attacks,
which were directed in the morning
against our front on ihoth sides of
Ville^Montoire and in the afternoon
extended as far south as Hartennes
They were repulsed before our lines,
sometimes in hand to hand 'fighting.
Here the enemy once again suffered

Many People Eat Worms.
The use of insects for food is receiving
considerable attention. The
new gospel is being preached widely,
but, we fear, into deaf ears. The
American public does not seem to take
kindly to an insect. And yet crabs
and lobsters, which are eaten joyously,
are classed by zoological science as
"near insects." And, if the truth
must be told, little creatures still more
savory than insects are partaken of
by our disdainful population?worms.
Americans eat worms quite generally.
Sometimes they are conscious of it and
sometimes not. All agree, however,
that the worms are very Savory. They
are, of course, the perfectly authentic
worms that come in Rocquefort and
other cheeses. .
i
Reward Not Always to the Great.
A London bookseller's catalogue announces
a copy of Browning's first
book for $2,200. Yet, when it was
printed, in 1833, through the assise-'
ance of the poet's aunt, Mrs. Silver- j
thorne, the poet would have been glad -.
to have sold a copy in its little drab 1
boards for a few shillings. The reason j
it is worth so much money now is that
few of them have survived, and this'
particular copy is described as im- j
maculate. There may not be money in j
poetry for the poets, but if the poet j
only te thoughtful enough to become j,
great his early trifles may bring a j
flood of gold to some happy possessor. ]:

ALLIED ADVANCE
AT LITTLE COST.
Expecting Hard Battle Americans and
French Can Only Follow Retiring
Hnns.
With the American Array on the
Aisne-Marne, Aug. 2, 7 p. m. (By Associated
Press.)?'Another jump forward
was made today iby the French
and Americans on the Aisne-Marne ,
front. From one to two miles were j
gained with almost no fighting.
Plans had been made to strike hard j
blows against the resisting Germans' j
rear, but the German war council evi- |
dentlv had decided that the time was i
inopportune to fight, for when the al- !
lies moved forward it was only to follow
on the trail of the retreating j
enemy.
At a few places there' were sharp
encounters, 'but they were nothing as
compared with the terrible engage- 1
ments that (previously had 'been fougftt
or what was expected.
The French cavalry operated near .
Dravegny, about two and half miles |
north of Coulognes with the Ameri. j
infantrv close behind while an
other detachment of mounted French j
troops opened the way a short dis- j
tance to the west, with French in- :
fantrv and lAmerican foot troops close '
up. j
The penetration by the French and j
Americans to the region of Dravegny
would place them only a scant eight j
miles southeast of Fismes, on the rail
road line midway between Soissons
ar.^ Rheims.
To the westward the French reach j
the southern borders of the Lou
r>p;ene, Mareuil and Rigulizv woods j
and the French cavalary to the south. '
ern border of the Moines wood.
Germans Had Gone.
Occasional bursts of machine gun
fire rhal>en,s:od the advancing line '^ui !
:+ v<?s apparent .early in the move- i
r'ent that the Germans had gone. !
The stiffest fighting encountered br !
J
the Americans was in a little piece of ;
ground east of Ohamery, where, ae I
cording to the German newspapers
the body of Lieut Quentin Roosevelt j
WT.S ounea arier nis airpiane naa ;
been brought down early in the pres- i
ent operations.
Through wheat fields and over
*oodPd trails wfth the rain
that fcll almost all day the Ame^canc j
mrrved slowlv and cautiously, hut aV i
T^ost continuously over farms and !
small villages among them Coulons^s ;
?rid Cohan. To the westward another
fo^oe of Americans also was moving I
steadily through and around the Nesle
woods and the rolling country east of
the woods. To both the east and west
o! that part of the line held by the
Americans and French were meeting :
Avith similar success.
Few prisoners were taken during
the day. but one of them, a captain,;
edmitted that the German artillery
had been withdrawn. His story tend. j
ed to confirm the stories of other men :
captured that the Germans were de- j
t.ermined to make their next ibig stand j
on he Vesle. and not the Ardre, and j
that their movements underway in- j
d'>ated the fortifying of ;Fismes arid |
th^ center of the next fixed line of
battle.
Ffehthicr to Come.
Tt is rot anticinated that the Germans
will withdraw to the Vesle line
without renewing their rear g:inrd resistance
and it is expected the present
virtually unopposed advance will j
- ? -1* ? neVif i
end quicKiy, pemaps wiui buu iiguv- j
ing on the higher ground just south
of the Ardre in order to give the Germans
more time for getting their ar- ;
Hllery and stores across the river.
}Iay Shell Fisnies.
with only a slight advance in addition
to that of today, the heavy g':ns
of the allies easily will be in posi
h'nn to shell Fismes and any part of ,
t^e line the Germans may determine 1
to stand on could immediately be '
rradp uncomfortable.
Although the enemy's retreat on the j
whole has been successful and he bas j
succeeded thus far in extricating the j
greater portion of his armies from the
client, observers hare witnessed conditions
which they believe indicate c
the Germans are moving more *
