What is kinown as "the marching wing" of the allies is colthiinally In colhit wit IIh the Gerlman troops and Completely covers the approach to tie coast tolvns. Whei they fought a pitched battle West of Lile, the GIer mans were forced to make a marlked retirement fromi Laventie in tihe (iI rection of ]'ille, their occupation of Which last Tuesday by 30,000 men, np pears destined to be of short duration. T'he line of the "hattle of the north" extends over the most historic ground in Flanders, where, on the field of the "Cloth of Gold" Francis I and lenry Vill had their celebrated meeting in 1520. Owing to the sinuous character of the line of battle the total length of it, from the coast of Belgium to the Swiss border, now reaches nearly 360 miles. Belief In their final success appears to have taken a firm hold on the al lies. All the men display confidence in their commanders who are doing everything possible to spare their troops. The allied soldiers are fighting with vigor. They often perform marches which seem beyond human power. This is made evident when small detachments are acting apart from the mnain bddies. French dragoons recently were en trustcd with the task of covering the passage of a river by artillery. They met a body of German luessars in a clash. Both sides charged simultan eously and the melee lasted ten min ites. during which the men slashed and pierced each other with swords and lances while the officers' revolvers cracked. Finally the Hussars -broke ranks and galloped off, leaving imany of their men on the field. The dragoons also suffered severely, but attained their object-that of securing a safe passage for their comrades. French officers in the immediate vi cinity of the firing line recently were amazed to see two motor cars con taining seven children, all under ten years of age, and two grown persons :rong Forces of Allied Ar tne Midst of the Fighting enter fhe batile zone. \cross the glass shieldn oile of the Cars in reichi were tie Words "Inl tih service of the atubasesador of thae inilt ed States'' Onl bein'E stopped It wa~s fottnd that0 eric Wood, one of the attacies of the \miilerican eibassy inl Paris, was inl one or the ears with \It-.

The children had been rescIled from a chateati in Northern Fra nee, where they had been with Servants ince tle outbreak of thle war, by an expedition sent out by Myron T. lerrick, the Aimerican ambassador. During the trip out the iparty was arrested several times. Their first ar rest occurred near Compiegne. A French territorial who stopped then ointed out a village spire In the di.s tance, saying "Germans are 'bombard Ing." The party desired to turn back, but tie soldier informed them they nust go to the village and see the colonel of that section. When the party arrived the bon bardment was very heavy. Houses were being struck by shrapnel and col lapsing every minute. While their pa pers were being examined in front of the colonel's headquarters, a shell burst directly over head, but as soon as the noise subsided the colonel con tinued his conversation as though nothing had happened. The Ainericans had had difficulty In finding their way through Senlis, Amiens and Boulogne, owing to 'the disappaerance of sign posts and the refusal of the peasants to give thei an' information. One place they pass ed had been taken and retaken six times by the I nch and Gerinans and consequently tie iinhabitants feared to give them directions oin the ground that they might 'be spies. On the eastern section of the allies' line the fighting still continues se vere. ,The Germans today made a str'ong attack on Malancourt, porth west of Verdun, which, however, was unsuccessful. The French have even made some progress here and also in Alsace despite the German efforts to hold them or force them back. A large nuomber of Paris firemen, equipped with a sort of oxygen hel met, have arrived in the region of Roye to bury the German dead on the battlefield, where they have been lying for thre, wveks. The. firemen brought a large supply of disin(ectant wvit thein In order to lessen the danger of colintating ilsease inl handling the bodies.
