What is known as "the norchiing wAing" of the allies is cont ii nual ly inl coltact withi tile Ger11a n tl'ooPs 11nd completely covers the approach to tile coast tovis. Whenl they fought a pitched battle west of ille, the Ger nans were forced to imake a marked retIrement frol Laventie in the di rection of Pille, their occupation of whieh last Tuesday by 30,000 mien), all pears destined to be of short duration. h'lhe line of the "hattle of the nort.h" extends over tile most historic ground in Flanders, where, o tle field of the "Cloth of Gold" Francis I and Henry Viii had their celebrated meeting in 1520. Owing to the sinuous charamcter of the line of battle the total le-gth 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 perfoilm marches which seem beyond human power. This is made evident when smnall detachments are acting apart from the main bddies. French dragoons recently were en trusted with the task of covering the passage of a river by artillery. They met a body of German liussars in a clash. Both sides charged simultan eously and the melee lasted ten min utes. 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 many 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 E[MINT UNSUCCESSFUL rong Forces of Allied Ar tne Midst of the Fighting enter tle battle Zone. oss the glass 8hih11d oil one of the car; in FIrenieh were the words "In tler servi!c of tlle ambai~ssadl'or fthe I'ited Staites"' CO beilg stopped It was fouind thi1 tiC Wood, on1e of the altaclies of tle .\ me rica emIbasy ini II'ar is, was iII on1e of the cars., with Mr. Cordy, a vol unt-er' attache of the ('ib assy.

The children had been resctied from a chateau in Northern France, where they had been witli servants since tihe outbreak of tile war, by an exspedition sent out. by Myron T. Hierrick, the imerican amibas;sador. During the trip out the party was arrested several times. Their first ai rest occurred near Compiegne. A French territorial who stopped thei oilted out a village spire in the dis tance, saying "Gerians are 'bombard Ing." The party desired to turn back, but the soldier Informed then they must go to the village and see tile 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 ats the noise subsided the colonel coil tinued his conversation as though nothing had happened. Tile Annericans had had difliculty in finding their way through S.enlis, Amiens and Bonlogne, owing to -the disappacrance of sign posts and the refusal of the peasants to give them any information. One place they pass ed had been taken and retaken six times by the French and Germapls and consequently the inhabitants feared to give theml directions on the ground that they might 'be spies. Oin the eastern section of the allies' line the fighting still continues se ver'e. Tile Germans today made a StrcOng attack on Malancourt, pQrth west of Verdun, which, however, was unsuccessful. The French have even made some progress here and also in Alsace despite tile 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 tile region of Roye to bury the German dead oil tile battlefld, where they have been lying for three weeks. The. firemen brought a large supply of disinfectant with them ii order to lessen tie danger of contract Ing disease in handling the bodies.
