serious accident Wednesday morning.

entire upper part of the body, as
well as the feet and ankles. Dr.
Perry attributes Mr. Rivers' escape
to.the fact that two-thirds of the surface
of the body was covered with

is doing well and with chances of recovery
in his favor.
MAY GREGORY FINDS A NEW
WAY TO EXTRACT A BULLET
A Chesterfield man has demonstrated
another of the many uses of the
Tin Lizzie. It has occasionally been
the cause of surgical operations, but
h this is the first case on record of
pr' 1 TIeni % performing such service
for its owner.
A hnnf .? "
. ,iai mr. may Gregory
was the unfortunate recipient of a
bullet somewhere between the fifth
rib and the thirtenth vertebra, said
bullet having been fired at close range
and with deadly intent from an automatic
pistol. Fortunately the missle
came in contnct with a rib immo- '
diately on entering Mr. Gregory's
waist-line, or this story would have 1
had a d fTerent ending. After fol- t
lowing the rib half way around the i
body the bullet turned off and hid i
somewhere between the hip pocket ]
and the collar button. Surgeons were
called in, but medical science failed i
to locate the leaden pellet. An X-ray
^holograph was talked of, hut was <
abandoned as Mr. Gregory became so <
used to carrying around the bullet
tjiat he decided to let it go at that.
Then he began running the Lizzie, t
After every long run his sleep would
le more or less disturbed by a slight i
tickling sensation in the back. The
more he drove his car, the more pronounced
the indication that something
was wrong. He had long ago
forgotten his wound. Finally, after
a particularly long and rough drive,
he was able to locate a small knot I
beneath his shoulder hl?nl?> a a
vc ched under his Rarments, by way
of investiRation, the long lost bullet l
rolled into his hand.
At last accounts Mr. Grepory was
enoyinR his usual Rood health and the 1
bullet .as in a fair state of preseva- :
tion, showinR no effects whatever of
its shaking up?or out.

the center and did not fall into thi

The French positions joined th
British to the south of St. Quentin.
In the meantime the Brtish strate
ty seems to be devoted to the task
jf meeting the attack so that it is
Jirected no longer straight at the
line, but is diverted toward the Oise,
.vhere the German advance h is been
nore rapid.
French troops have taken over sec'ors
of the front nnH
he Brtish units for work farthci

have also joined in the fighting.
The fall of Hapaumc early Monday ;
was a blow to the British, but it was
the result of a determination to fall
being attacked.

Berlin claims that 45,000 prisoners '
have been taken. These were proba- \
bly units which were left to hold the
easier defended positions while the ^
main portion of Field Marshal Haig's
urny fell back.
That the British losses have been
heavy there is no question but, considering
the magnitude of the strug- <
gle, this could not be otherwise. Ber- <
lin officially admits that the Teu.onie :
losses were "comparatively heavy."
The Germans have enlarged the r
'war-map." They have made a b'g c
dent in the British front in the region '
of Noyon-Royce-Chaulnes-Brny-Albert.
They have made their greatest
gain in this section, although far- .
ther north, a little to the south of
Arras, they have succeeded in reading
the old British line. They seem .
,o be a little to the east of that
ine from Albert to Hamsel, and cither
astride it or just at it at Beaut- t
nont and up through the vicinities ;
>f Serre, Pusieux, and Ayette.
hence the German front turns
mrtheast, pasing a little west of
donchy and on to the original line to ^
Belgium.
This represents, in places, a nain '
if from 25 to 20 miles, narrowing
lown to nothing north of Monchy.
It is a question whether the Germans
planed to turn north or southwest,
after "breaking through." Their
Koal was Amiens, from which poi.it
t'hey could readily swoop upon the
channel ports or down upon Paris.
And now, after six days of teri- 1
lie tiKhtinj? the German offensive ir
ihowintf sijrns of weakening. 13
At a late hour Wednesday nipht .1
he situation seemed to be similar to
hat of 1914, when von Kluck attempted
to dash on Paris, when (h
German artillery could not keep up \
.vith the infantry and the French ^
.cere able to turn back the invaders.
It is oflicially reported that 70 ,
German divisions, or 810,000 men
have taken part in the fijrhtinn and ^
observers at the front say that 10
to 20 per cent, of these have been
lost. 1
In the Roycc area British, French
ind American troops are fiuhtin^
ihoulder to shoulder.
(
Paris has been bombarded by a ''
mysterious German canon which is
aid to have been located in the forist
of St. Gobain south of Lu Fere.
There is considerable doubt as to
he accuracy of this. as the irun wouM -
