the northeastern part of France have
begun to stop in their fight and to be
showing more fight They are using
their artillery effectively and the Allies

through Guise, thence southwark and
along the river Aisne. If they succeed
in reforming it is conceded that they
may resume the offensive.

ScOrched.

was turned in from the Delta Gamma
sorority house at GA University ave-
nue.. The fire companies responded
promptly, but by the time they reach
