GERMAN Center
ISBEATEN BACK

Cavalry could not proceed through the
heavy marshland. and the movement of
the heavy guns was out of the question.
With the first evidence Of the success
OF their offensive movement against the
German center, the enthusiasm of the
French troops spread almost out OF
bounds. Despite the effort which the
continuous fighting of the last FIVE days
had cost them, they vigorously assailed
the enemy and drove them from their
positions,
Advance Is ContInuous.
The success Of the allies on their left
continues with every movement attempt
ed. The British and French are continu-
ously advancing, taking prisoners. cap
turing guns and supplies and picking up
the wounded and burying the dead as
they go. Eleven German guns were cap
tured by the British alone today.
The enemy is retreating rapidly east OF
scissors In some disorder. Scissors Is the
first objective OF the British attacks to
cut the railway Hines, by which the Ger
man right wing army has been receiving
supplies from its base at AiX-la-Chap-
pelle.
Forced Hack Fifty Miles.
The German right has been forced back
nearly fifty miles. and the British cavalry
is now in full and persistent pursuit. II
the British are successful in this maneu-
yer and are able TO cut this line of COM
munication the German right wing army
will be left without supplies Of food and
Aihmunition and probably will be COM
PEELED to surrender.
The captures reported yesterday by the
allies are now officially declared to be
much greater than at first reported.
Large bodies Of German infantry have
been found hiding in the woods, and
when the pursuers come upon them they
are glad to surrender. for their condition
generally is serious because Of the lack Of
food.

LOCAL PHONE GIRLS TRYING TO
ORGANIZE

Telephone operators IN three North
Side exchanges are trying to organize
and fight for better wages. The work
has been going on in one exchange
for several months, but has been
somewhat hindered by the girls fear
of spoilers.
A meeting was held in the home of
the leaders of the movement last
night. Plans were discussed, but some
Of the wiser. girls cautioned the 9th
ers against moving too hastily.
They pointed out what happened
to the proposed union of department
store girls; a proposition that bid fair
to be a success if it had not been for
the over-enthusiasm of the girls.
The telephone operators want the
chance of earning decent wages by
working shorter hours. Switchboard
work is excessively hard on the
nerves. frequently girls have to be
taken to their homes in taxicabs in a
condition bordering on nervous pros
tration. .
The girls have chosen a former
telephone operator as leader: She is
in a position where the company can
not cOerce her. They hope to be in
a position in the future to come out
publicly.

A Path To The Door.

People sometimes ask themselves what
can we DOT ain BY expenditure of effort
in making our city better city, except
the gain that comes to us through ouI

Libraries, better play grounds, better
sanitation, better transportation, better

But there is anorher side to making a
city better city, better in allits various
departments and facilities Because the
better it gets the bigger it gets.
