The Frenchman plays no favorite in his applause at the Paris Baseball League games conducted under the auspices of the American Y. M. C. A. If the shortstop makes a great play, he applauds. If a moment later he lets an eaay pickup roll through his legs, the Parisian applauds just the same. It's all the same to him, but he likes the game as he does everything else American.

On almost every sector of the batJefront, the enemy line continues to rumble before the allied attack, notwithstanding the violence, born of lesperation, of the counter-offensive actios. Near Arras the old Hindenburg ..ine now is well outflanked; from he Scarpe to the Somme the hostile ine gradually is falling back while rom the south of Somme to Soisons the enemy front has literally ieen smashed and the German hosts pparently are caught in two dis inci traps, escape for which without ieavy losses in men made prisoner nd guns and material seems almost npossible of achievement. Scores of additional towns have een captured by British, French and imerican troops, the Americans hav:ig entered the fray with the French lorthwest of Soissons while all of the Id German salients'in the allied lines ow have been flattened out and the Hies themselves have dug deeply into he enemy's terrain. The first trap in which the enemy inds himself is the triangle formed iy the sharp curve of the Somme liver with Peronne its apex and with lurlu on the Somme and Fresnes, espectively its northern and southern uses. This triangle is a little more han three miles deep and six miles 'ide and in it the German are fighting dth their bucks towards the Somme n both north and the east. Desperate resistance is being ofered by the enemy in order that his len may have time to reach a haven f safety across the stream but the ......

Auk- 5.?The order had just come to n move the division headquarters. The ti Germans, turning their backs on Par- tc is, were retreating northward before ^ the victorious French and Americans W o^ soldiers out of the salient which the j, Crown Prince had constructed as a 01 base for his "victory drive," which al was to engulf the French capital and win the war. They had just crossed the Vesle River, and the infantry ^ operating from this division head- al quarters had got miles ahead, so far st that the General and his staff had to w move up closer to keep in better touch. And so when I reached diviPi sion headquarters the order had just come to pack up and go forward. ^ The headquarters had been in one b< of the beautiful chateaux, whose G grace four years of war n?t S< C| blotted out and the magnificance of which could not die while even rem- e, nants of the structure remained. Maps and tables and chairs were packed up ci by Amerirans and loaded on trucks. e Then orderlies swept the floors clean, c carried out all scrap paper on the w lawn and burned it and did every- P iL * ? *- a imng 10 muse the place spotless. 11 Then the Major in charge took w from his pocket a large key and opened a room which had been sealed cl since the day the Americans arrived, tl At his direction soldiers took from that room costly furniture, china, T silverware, and paintings and with e minute care put them hack where n they had been found. As the head- F quarters pulled out of the place it fi was in most excelcnt condition. No o souvenirs had been taken away, no o sacrilege committed, do looting per- A petrated. With the headquarters staff I went fi on the highway a distance of ten ir kilometers until we reached another u chateau, the new headquarters. On the front door were chalked German " names and insignia?the foe had quit d the filace two days before and he e had used it for division headquarters. Inside was the customary sight to be witnessed after the passage of the n boche. Confusion and wreckage were tl everywhere.

In the library big mirrors had been nashed by bullet holes, through the entre of a glorious old clock a bavoet had been shoved, pillows and mut esses had been ripped open warmly, a big knife had cut across a j undsomc oil portrait in the salon, omen's finery had been dragged all /er the place and muddied and torn.

I landsome pictures had been taken : rom the walls anil slammed down , ver the corner of beds, on chairs, ; n anything that would smash them. . doll had been torn limb from limb. An American doughboy was careally collecting the ruins and stowig them so that the room could be | sed for the Major's office. "Never mind, lad," said the Major, 1 let's not use this room.

All along the front the German line has given way before the pressure of the British and French troops at points where the falling back of the enemy or the capture of towns and roads running eastward adds greatly to his already serious predicament from the standpoint of victorv. Numerous towns, villages and hamlets have fallen into the hands of the British and French in the continuation of the fighting, and scarcely anywhere along the buttlefront have the Germans been able to do more than delay the allies when they knock for admittance to the German line. Rear guard actions in which innumerable machine guns are used also are serving merely to keep the allied advance slowed down as far as possible while the main German bodies make their way eastward toward new positions. At Gate* of Peronne In the region around Arras the British now are well astride the roads leading to Doual and Cambrai, and further south along the Somme they have press6d forward until they are almost at the gates of Peronne. Between the Somme and the Oise the French have broken the back-bone of the German resistance at Roye, capturing this pivotal point to an invasion eastward of the plains of Pit*ardy and advancing their lines north and south of the town over a front of about 12 1-2 miles to a depth of more . than 2 1-2 miles at certain points. North of Soissons, the French, although the Germans are fighting thorn aitterly, again have advanced slighty their line in the outflanking move- ' ment, both against the Chemin des Dames region and the Noyon sector. iwerywnere the Germans have lost 1 leavily in men killed or made pris?ner and in addition the allied troops Eigain have captured numerous i;uns, machine nuns and war stores. The prisoners taken by the British from last Wednesday to the present week aggregated 21.0V0. In fighting Tuesday around St. Mard, west of Roye, the French secured 1,100 captives. The Canadian troops are fighting in lively fashion between the Sensec and Scarpe Rivers, and to them have fallen numerous German field villages and many prisoners. Biptume Encircled. Bapaume, one of the strongest, points over which there has been much heavy fighting, is still held by the Germans, but the British are now so nearly around it that possibly lew of the enemy remain inside the shell torn town. The British on the west are in the outskirts of the place and doubtless it soon will be nipped out of the batte line in the pincer movement that is beivg employed against it. TEAL'S MILL The Rev.
