GERMANS Forced

St. Mihiel
RIVER RUNS RED
WITH VICTIMS BLOOD
BY WILLIAM PHILLIP smMs,

United Press Staff Correspondent.
PARIS, Sept. 26.-That the Germans
are increasing their efforts to break
down the French offense is officially
admitted. The result is fighting on a
scale never before seen and the cas-
ualties already are enormous. But
the official declarations insist that at
no point have the Germans scored "A
victory. They drove back the allied
left at NOyon only in turn TO be press
ed back toward their original position.
They crossed the Meusc in the neigh
borhoOd Of st. Mihiel. but could not
hold their line and were driven back
across the river with great loss, their
pontoons shattered by the accurate
fire of the French three-inch guns.
The lighting on the left and right
is of the hand-to-hand variety. The
new British expeditionary army and
many Of the French reserves are in
action and General Joffre is hurrying
every available man from the rear to
reinforce the French at every point. IL
is realized that this struggle will have
a most important result on the final
outcome Of the war Germany has
her first and second lines. her reserves
and part of her volunteers, engaged.
defeat will mean that they must re-
tire well into Germany to the shelter
Of the Rhine forts and into Belgium
to the new lines already prepared. A
victory for the Germans would imperil

to ensure ultimate victory.
There is absolutely no line obtain

attraction. The story Cf the play
deals with the reclaiming of the

Produced by the Universal Film Co.

Louis Joseph Vance
TEEN himself the happiest Of mortals,
The beginning of the period was
synchronOus with the slam of a taxi
cab door that shut away superfluous
world from the company of two who
loved.
The sound spelled safety as we'll as
success in Alan's understanding.
The car slipped smoothly away from
J the curb, pursued only by a little gust
OF semi-ironic cheers from the little
company of working men who had wit
messed as well as measurably partici-
pated in the putative elopement from
the house of Urine.
Vigilant for any Indication that their
evasion had had witness in that
strange home of deathless hatred,
Alan watched it through the little
window in the back of-the cab until a
corner blotted out the vision of it;
then with a sigh of relief sank down
by the side of the woman to whom his
every thought, impulse and emotion
were dedicated.
"Rose!" he whispered, and tenta-
lively touched one of the hands that
lay clenched in her lap.
She responded with never a sign to
indicate consciousness either of his
touch or his whisper.
And reminding himself of the strain
imposed upon her by the experience
through which they had just passed,
Alan excused her unresponsiveness on
grounds OF reaction, and for the time
felt constrained to let his sweetheart
rest and regain her normal poise:
there was bliss enough for him in the
consciousness that he had won her
safely away, that nothing now more
than short hours drive across town
and by ferry across the Hudson stood
between them and the marriage that
should prove the contamination of all
their trials Barring accident!

I'll stand the cost of the new tire"
But if another cab comes along
while you're at it you'll lose us as
quick as a wink. Here's my card, in
case We have to desert you in a hurry:
you understand this "a matter of life
and death, and I'll have no time to
settle up with you. But you can call
at Mr.. Digby's Office and he'll fix
things up to your satisfaction"
& The man took the card and after a
glance at the name touched his hat
with more noticeable respect.
All right, Mr.. Law" he agreed:
anything you say" And forthwith
got to work.
The rapidity with which he COM
pleted the change Of tires proved him
an excellent chauffeur, an adept at his
craft; but the delay was one disas-
trous for all that. 1t worked together
with what Alan pardonably described
as the devils own luck to bring the
touring car in sight at the precise mo-
ment when the chauffeur was cranking
up and Alan on the point of re-enter-
ing the cab. And though they were
off again before Alan could close the
door, the attempt was hopeless from
the start.
And yet-whether or not because
Alan's distaste for interference had
been too convincingly demonstrated
the touring car for the time being
contented itself with trailing about
fifty feet in the rear, while the taxi
fled the tenement purlieus of the Ho-
bOken waterfront ana 1Ound us way
