Caesar Jordan, and Hattie Steele. The
complaint was sworn to by Caesars
wife and alleges that her husband and

office of the county attorney which
had been badly torn. She claimed
and had done SO maliciously and at

pressed the opinion that only one tenth

ticularIy in Flanders, the Argonne, the

claim to have been successful at all
points, except at Steinbach, in Alsace,
the German official report says the
allies attacks have been unsuccessful
at several places
ON the whole, however, it would ap-
pear that the allies. who now have ii
superiority in numbers, as well as in
artillery, have succeeded in making
some progress. and have withstood
