So fast has byen the advance prog rows that already French and" Amer ican troops have leached or are astride several of tin- im|M?rtaut roads of sup ply for the German armies in the south, particularly the line running from Sois muin to Chateau-Thierry, It is not lin ?robijble b.v reason of this /act ahd the inability of the enemy instantly to re : M,?ve them that further large quantities ? >f supplies will be taken Six miles apparently was the deep est point of penetration made by the allied troops in the first day of light ing. 5 , Tills was at liu/ancy, south of Soissons. which they captured and passed through eastward. At several other points distances of from four i?> live miles were reached from the original starting lines. At Soissons the Americans and Frenchmen came to within a mile of the city.

Freuch an Italian troop# and the enemy southwest of Rbelms, where the British have made a further advance, while in Champagne to the east of Ithehns the French are reported to have regained all their old frout line I>ositious between the river Nulppes and the town of Masalge*. The Herman defensive has noticeably stiffened on the western Hide of the Rheims-Solssons salient, but although large numbers of reserves have been tliruvvu lutu the. lightlug the manoeuvre* seem to be more in the uature of a strong rear guard, action, designed to help the large forces of the enemy in the (Cha teau Thierry pocket to escape northeast ward than a punwso ti> stand and give battle, with the ultimate aim of hold ing or heating back the Franco-American troops. ? That the Germans now realize to the full that the Allies have the upper hand in the battle seems appnreut from re ports that they are burning villages be hind them in their retreat and destroy ing large quantities of munitions and war materials throughout the entire salient which they have found it im possUile to move owing to the rapid strides of the Allies across various of their lines of communication and the domination of others by the Allied big' guns. These guns now are throwing shells fur behind the lines, searching out the entire countryside, while Allied air planes are harrying the retreating col eumns with machine g'in lire. The efforts of the Germans to retard the Fran??o-Amerlean forces were par ticularly heavy Monday in the regions of Groisolles add Bezu St. Gertnaln, re spectively northwest and north of Cha teau Thierry, and to the east of Cha teau Thierry, where the Americans are giving them battle. On all, three sectors the enemy lost further ground and his forces in the Cha teau Thierry pocket were, therefore, placed iu greater jeopardy. Realizing the seriousness of his pre dicament. the German Crown Prince is said to have sent out distress signals to Crown Prince . Ruppreeht. of Ba varia. whose men are facing the British line in France and Flanders, tuking for aid. Ftupprecht disputched several divisions of his reserves to the south to help his imperial cousin, but to offset this Field Marshal llaig immediately detached an equal number from -Picardy ami moved them into the battle area southwest of Khcims. The latest German official communique asserts thai in Sunday's lighting be- J tween the Aaisne and the Marue com- i pletc success rested with the German ii rms. ? In France and iu Flanders the Brit ish continue to harass the German lines with snuil attacks and raiding operation^ while the Itnlians are keeping up their pressure against the Austrians, both in the Italian theater aud iu Albania. In i lie latter region considerable ground luis been gained along the I >evoll river. I Items From Stockton. I toy kin. S July 1!HS-Mrx. Ji?f \iley is spending n whil?- with !hi mother lioro.

I Regular habits, outdoor life, plaiu food, , and strenous military drill, are in them-, selves strong factors toward good health. ; aud aiany a man who enters the service 1 a comparative weakling will come out - tiue of physique and strong of limb. As for drinking, it "isn't done!" Naloous and even soft drink establish ments are not allowed to sell anything to a soldier in uniform, and many young men who have heretofore been occasional drinkers now proudly proclaim thpmselves teetotalers.

Erick son said, were laid twenty years ago. Militarist* of Germany, he said had plan tied the fall of Namur and Liege years before the war was declared, and they also planned their own capital must have defences stronger than those of the Belgian cities. Numerous smaller German cities are slmiliarly protected, he said. Notice to Candidate*. Candidates ai'e required to file their pledges and pay their assessments on or before Monday, .August 12tli.
