the Allied left wing is not of i'm

Severe artillery duelling has been
almost constant in the general neigh

Germans have entrenched infantry
along the Aisne river and have en-
battled siege guns and other heavy ar
tillery in the foothills of the Ardennes
mountains. During the last week,
however, the opponents have rested
somewhat in both the eastern and cen

The delegates we're posing for their

"Step back Just a little" requested
the photographer. The front rank
backed up. The crowd on the stands
tried to shift and the structure gave
way. Slowly it started to sway at the
rear at first, overturning the support

the 2x12 beams that supported the
seats, and then it came down in a
pile, mixing humanity and timbers.
Strangely, not a woman had
