Germans have made supreme eff
fort to check allied advance along the
Disc and to push their line forward
so as to split the allied forces be-
tween NoyOn and St. Quentin, but
they have been unsuccessful.
New allied armies which moved
east from Amiens and DouIlens are
reported to have so strongly
strengthened the allies left that the
capture Of st. Quentin is considered
certain within a short time.
Germans reported merely holding
their entrenched positions in the cen

culiar actions of a dog belonging TO

the discovery.
The dead man lay upon his back.

hours, 1t is believed.
1t is known that North was sent to

had been dismissed, and he was to re-
turn the corpse to the morgue. For
some reason. however. North went
first to the fifth floor in the elevator,
which he was operating himself. and
the elevator was found there.
But North, 1t is believed. walked
down to the fourth floor. and pushed
the table containing the corpse into
the hall. He must have forgotten that
he left the car on the floor above. For
he opened the elevator door and
backed into the shaft, pulling the table
and corpse after him.

TRAGEDY OF SILENT WOODS
NImrod, Leg Broken Among Rocks Of
Lonely Mountain, Finally p'ss
From Exhaustion.

Middletown, N. "a tragedy Of the
great. silent woods has been disccv-
cred In the Shawangunk mot ntains.
There was brought to town ~ few days
ago the body of the victim, an uniden-
tifled man. believed to have persisted
by starvation after having been in
jured by q fall among the rocla Of the
forest.
Discovery Of the tragedy WAS made
by John Diverlein, of Ellenvills, while
on a shooting trip. Diverlein, while
tramping through the woods. raw the
body Of the man crumpled up in a
ledge Of rocks at the base Of a high
cliff. It took half an hours arduous
work to reach It. The hunter found
that one of the legs of the dead man
had been broken and there also was
a severe cut on the head.
Broken twigs and occasional signs
of blood showed Diverlein that the vic
tim. after the accident, had attempted
to drag himself to q camp or TO some
place where he could attract aid. But
the injuries overcame him. and when
he revived 1t was only to face slow
death by starvation.
The wounds were not sufficient to
have caused death, and 1t Ia believed
that lack Of food and water. rather than
Of medical attention, killed the
man. The body was greatly emaciat-
ed, and several days. 1t is believed,
elapsed between the fall and the time
when death mercifully ended his tor
rible sufferings.
The dead mans gun was found on
ledge almost . quarter of a mile from
where his body was found. Indicating
the probable point of the fail 1t also
shows the distance the man had
dragged himself over the rough hill
side before he became too weak to
move.
