Germans Throw Greatest
Weight on Extended
Allies Line.
SWEEP OF CAVALRY,
Terrible Canage Result of Struggle
Heavy Artillery And Machine
Guns Used by Allies.

Paris Sept. 3-The heavy fight
ing on the French frontier toda,
is that in which the French lef
and the German right are still en-
gagged, the Germans throwing theil
greatest weight Oh an allied line
that extended, roughly speaking
from just south OF. Montdidier tc
Roye and to Noyon.
The German cavalry had swept
south to the neighborhood of Com,
,piegne and Oissons and has been
engaged for forty-eight hours with
the united British-French cavalry
divisions. This fighting covers Il
wide stretch and is reported to be
chiefly of a skilmishing nature.
The fighting between NIontid-
idier, Roye and Noyon is Of the
most sanguinary character. The
allied line is very strongly stretch
cd and is heavily supported with
artillery and machine guns. 1t is
admitted at the war office that the
Germans have brought many fresh
trooSs into action and it is con-
sidered inevitable that 4 new line
is being formed on which the allies
will fall back.
Although. because of the en-
ormous pressure from the German
fight, the retreat Of the allies has
been faster than was originally an
ticipated, it is explained today
that the Erench-British position
is stronger than it was three days
ago, Fresh troops have been detach-
ed from the extreme French right
and. with reserves. they are now
supporting the troops that have
been bearing the brunt of the fight
ing since last Saturday..
The next forty-eight hours prob
ably will prove insofar as the ac-
tual fate of Paris is concerned. if
the Germans, can push forward as
far in tiat:time as they have in the
last two days, they will be in con-
tact with the outer: lines of the
capitals defenses. = !:
It is considered certain that the
allied lines will eventually have to
fall back to the Paris Notifications.
Already there is discussion of the
final; line of occupation, So far as
outward indications are concerned.
the final line of defense will be eX-
tremely advantageous to THE allies.

cope with an opponent he must not
lose his temper. The man who loses
his temper while boxing is sure to
get the worst OF It. Outside Of
swimming there is no exercise to com.
pare with boxing for a complete use OF
the muscles OF the body, and, OF
course, swimming cannot be enjoyed
except In the water. Boxing, being a
competitive exercise. is superior to
swimming through the fact that the

exercised In the sparring bout Quick.

Long time ago, the fork-tailed martin
used to build their gourd-like nests
under the caves of the council house.
And that was very convenient place,
too-both for the martins, who liked
to live close to the people, and for the
little Indian boys, who liked to watch
the birds swooping and flashing in the
air.
Sometimes one of the boys who was
not satisfied with watching the birds
In the air would climb to the caves
and bring down one of the nests. And
II he waited until after the young mar.
tins had gone away, 1t was all right.
Then one OF the old men would tell
the boys why the martins nest was
like a gourd.
1t happened at the time of the first
ball game between the birds and, the
four-footed animals.
On one side, the Great Bear was the
captain OF the players, and for the
birds the Great Eagle was leader; and
for many days before the game the
big animals went about the earth say.
Ing what good ball players they were.
But the Great Eagle told the birds that
they must not boast; and 1t was be.
cause they did not boast that the little
bat and the tiny flying squirrel Joined
the birds and helped to win the game.
Well, the game was played in a
smooth meadow beside the river. and
Il began early in the morning, when
the dew was fresh and sparkling on
the grass. Out in the center of the
meadow stood the Great Beaver ready
to toss the ball. He looked toward the
Great Bear and asked If he was ready,
and the Great Bear said:
The game may as we'll begin" The
Great Bear spoke In a sort Of tired
way, as II 1t was really no use to go on.
but he supposed that the birds would
not be satisfied until the animals
showed them how much better they
were. And then the Great Beaver
asked the Great Eagle IL the birds were
ready.
we have just seen the edge Of the
sun coming over the treetops," said
the Great Eagle. "and we are ready to
play"
