sweep southeast of Paris was check
ed on the Grande MORN, the German
war machine has been showing signs
OF wear and each fresh day of battle
has closed with the allies in more
favorable position
On Sunday there was furious fight
ing along the Grande MORN, which
continued at La Ferte- Gaucher
fthroughout the night and on Monday
morning the enemy began to retreat
upon their new line along the Petit
MORN There they were allow no
rest, for the allied forces were tast-
ing the rare joy Of the offensive and
wished to taste 1t to the full.
On TUESDAY the German command
became apprehensive for the safety
Of its communications and saw,
looking on its right flank, a posi-
bility OF disaster.
North OF Paris the French found
ample room for assembling a large
army and while the British were slip
ping from the northeast of Paris to
the east with the Germans their
place of glory was taken by strong
French force which moved up to the
River Ourcq and became a very SER
ious menace to the enemy's retreat
ing movement. The Ourcq formed the
upper blade OF a pair of shears, of
which, as they were gradually clos
ed, the Grande NORM, the Petit
Morin and the River Marne formed
the lower blade.
Immediately the German staff
realized this situation, and endeav-
ored to e0tricate itself from between
the blades by rapid retreat and by
a series of furious but fruitless on
slaughts upon the French holding the
right bank of the Ourcq.
The fighting here has been of a
peculiarly desperate character. The
French, however, stand firm along
the Ourcq, while the British have
crossed the Marine and driven the
enemy a distance of twenty five
miles.
From the center news is meager
but the French are understood to be
progressing. The Germans appar-
emily are suffering from lack of am
.munition and it would seem that
their difficulties in obtaining sup
plies from their base have only be-
gun If all their plans succeed, as
they have done during the last few
days the allies should be well on
their way to victory.

TRAVELETTE
Santa Catalina Island.
BY NIIksAH.

This hflly little island, sixty miles from
the coast Of California, Is widely known
for the great herds Of wild goats that
roam about its interior. It was long the
custom for every tourist who went there
to hire guide and go on a goat hunt.
but OF recent years the sport has been
discouraged by the owners Of the island,
who say that the goats make domestic
animals Wild. and have set out to ex-
terminate them systematically. However.
II you cannot kill goat, you can still
buy a beautiful goat skin rug at any Of
the little shops along the beach.
The origin Of the Catalina goats is
mountain goat. but ordinary domestic
goats leading wild and unconventional
life. The guides will tell you that when
the Spanish conQuerors landed on the Is
land, centuries ago. the aoorisanes got
their goats. and then the goats escaped
and propagated free and independent
race. This. however. is mere tradition.
On the island there is a tent city for
tourists OF moderate means. and several
really admirable hoteis where those who
have money can drop it as rapidly as at
any watering place in America. Ihere
Is also small beach. which is not much
Of a bathing place. because there ts no
surf to speak o.: but during the fashion
able bathing hour II is distinctly a sue
cess as spectacle. In orchtdaceous Colo
ration and daring brevity the costume
effects splayed at Catalina are not sur
passed even at the great Atlantic beaches
This daily parade Of fashionable bathers
somewhat distracts attention from the
natural scenery at Catalina, which is by
no means to be overlooked. The island
consists Of a bunch Of rugged. carven
hills. chucked down in the midst Of a
still green sea. and escailoped with little
sleeping bays, where sea lions bark and
great white regiments Of sVlls drill and
wheel between sea and sky.
The waters about the island are Won
derfuily rich in life. and one o. the regu-
lar amusements of the place rs going out
In glass -bottomed beats to see how the
fishes live. You look down into a sub
merged forest Of seaweed where re-
sp,endent red and golden fishes laziiy
wander about, where long yellow preda-
tory tarpons raid sivery schools Of flying
fish and drive them into the air in a
burst through brown forests Of broad
leaved, waverins kelp. Fishing Is also
favorite sport and all classes Of anglers
are accommodated rom the meditative
philosopher. who likes to sit on wharf
and watch a founder flirt with the clam
impaled on his hook, to the ambitious
devotee who goes after the ieap:ng tuna
