eighty miles, drawn are of circle TO
the northeast, forty-fiye miles from

About twenty-five miles further

line forcing the French Notifications.
Besides delivering this frontal attack
the Germans are engaged in two
thanking movements. One army ex-
tends to the west from st. Quentin,
passing through Peronn to Amiens.
Another, which crossed the Mouse
river from Longwy through the Stem
way gap. is advancing from the east
toward the Mouse.
The purpose of these three move
ments-two flanking and one frontal
undoubtedly is to bottle up the allies

could proceed to Paris without Sc

This attempt to duplicate Sedan

probably mean decisive German vic
tory in France, has been the con-
slant aim of the German strategists.

brought it on.

WAS IN HER BANK"
Lucille Clark, the beautiful young
Lockport girl, still insists that the
Rev. Charles H. Byles, pastor of the
Congregational church of Lockport,
reached under the table and unfas-
tened her garter.
Miss Clark is particularly wrathy
right now because she claimed she
was tricked into signing a paper .
which exonerated the Rev. ByIes
from any amorous intent in unbuck-
ling her garter. The paper she sign
ed was as follows:

being ungentlemanly.

According to the girls story the
minister's curious hands began their
tour of exploration while both were
members of a church party and were
playing a game called Where is the
half?" Mr.. Byles, according to the
girl, found the half" in fact he
found about nine-tenths.
The game called for the passing of
a 50-cent piece under the table.
Whenever it came Mr.. Byles' turn to
pass the coin, the girl says, she felt
his hand steal up her silk stockings.
Twice she pushed it away.
But it proved very persistent
hand. Finally the hand got very bold
and she felt tug at her garter. The
hand succeeded. The garter slipped
down.
The minister was tried by the trus-
tees of the church and acquitted by
a vote of five to two; but the girls
