1t Is a report of a commission APP

great deal Of stress on the fact that
a previous treaty had divided Maine
from Canada, along the highlands,
separating the streams flowing into
St Lawrence from those flowing into
the Atlantic Ocean This division of
territory is what led to the curious
shape of the northern boundries of
our state. At the time the report
was issued the inhabitants of Maine
seemed to think their territory extend
ed to or beyond the valley of the St
John river, There must have been a
good deal of excitement over the con-
troversy, as the report denies the right
of the United States government to
make a treaty regarding the Maine
boundry without the consent of the
State authorities. 1t seems ten thou

suffered heavy losses and have in
flicted similar punishment on the
allies. are farther away from the
French coast than they were at the
beginning of the battle.
The small forces, which have been
left TO hold the line from the Disc To
the Meuse while the greater battle is
proceeding, have been engaging in
night attacks at different points, the
advantage sometimes going to the one
and sometimes to the other. 1t is
said that in one of these night attacks
near Craonne the Germans lost 2000
men.
Along the Mouse the French are add
vancing slowly between Apremont
aud ST. Mihiel in their effort to cut
off the Germans who are holding the
latter place.
The German official report issued
today says that the Germans were
forced to withdraw in Poland in the
face of Russian reinforcements. This
is the first mention from this source
of the battle in that region since the
German advance on Warsaw was frus-
trated by the arrival of large numbers
of fresh Russian troops.
