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

tingisihed tluingar'ian nobleman now
dii Ill Paris. 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. On the battle field It is said
there are between lour thoulsaid and
live thou sanld boles.
