PARIS. April 29.-The allies are
slowly but surely recovering the lost
ground in the north. according to the
latest reports reaching headquarters.
The task is most difficult as the Ger
mans have dug themselves in at every
point. in addition they have brought
up numerous heavy guns stalking them
on the strength Of their massed in
fantry. and are constantly shelling
the entire allied front In consequ-
ence gains can be counted in feet and
even ~inchos rather than yards. At
several points il is declared that the
French sappers have been able to
mine parts of the outlying trenches
and thus enabled the allies to make
gains.
The Germans are constantly re-
loeiving fresh troops aud IL Is believed
There that they have by no means
abandoned their plan to hack way

fighting they exhausted their reserve
supply of ammunition and are now

advantage of this and are feeling the

TWO PRESBYTERIAN
CON GREGAT|ONS IN
4 JOINT WORSHIP
WILL ASSEMBLE AT KNOX
CHURCH THIS MORNING TO
HEAR REV. Mr.. SMITH, DeFUN-
lax, WHO ARRIVED YEsTER.
DAY.

Because of the absence of Rev. Mr..
Moffett, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church, from the city, there
will be no services in the down town
churches either this morning or to-
night, and the congregation is to &C.
cept the invitation to meet with the
Knox Presbyterian congregation to-
day and tonight, and hear Rev. Mr..
Smith, a young man from DeFuniak,
who will preach at both morning and
night services.
The usual Sunday school sessions
and the meetings of the young peo-
pies societies will take place at both
churches and at the usual hours, but
no preaching will be held in the First
church.
Rev. Mr.. Moffett will be in De-
Funiak today and for the next sew
eral days, attending the presbytery
which convened there yesterday. A
young man from Pensacola, Mr.. Clyde
Douglass, will probably appear before
the body at DeFuniak on the occasion
of this session and will be examined
as to his qualifications, with view
to him studying for the ministry
The young man is now teaching
school at Hollis, Fla, but will make a
trip to DeFuniak today for the pur-
pose of undergoing the presbyterial
examination. He is a son of Dan
D. Douglas Of this city.
Rev. Mr.. Smith, who breaches to-
day at the Knox church, is a young
man who has been heard in that
church on several occasions in the
past, and his sermons are well-select-
ed and interesting.

.0RT0LPH, GERMAN,
UNDER ARREST, AND
HELD FOR HEARING
GERMAN WHO WAS THOUGHT
TO HAVE BEEN SPY AND
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY SOME
WEEKS SINCE, AGAIN IN THE
TOLLS.

WaIber Ortolph, the German, who
was arrested some weeks ago and
charged with being a spy, the said
charges not having been proven by
the government, is again under ar
rest in Jacksonville this time, as a
dangerous and suspicious character.
He is held for hearing.
Speaking of the foreigners trou-
bles, the Record of Tallahassee cor
reefs a slight wrong statement as
follows:
History Of Troubles.
Walber Ortolph, the German ar
rested in this city last August and
confined for two weeks or more in
the Leon county Jail awaiting hear
ing on a charge of attempting to OBJ
tain information concerning the ma
tional defenses, was arrested last
Monday in Jacksonville as a suspi-
cious character.
Ortolph occupied a room with a
man known as N. Kuhn, and the lat
ter alleged that when he awoke Mon
day morning his trousers, and sum
of money in the pockets of the gar
ments, were missing. The trousers
were found in another room, but the
money was gone. Ortolph is said to
have moved to another house, and
this aroused Kuhn's suspicion, which
resulted in the arrest of Ortolph.
In giving an account of the arrest
of Ortolph each Of the Jacksonville
newspapers stated that he had been
arrested several weeks ago in PEN
sacola as German spy. The report
ers Of those papers evidently do not
read their own news columns, for
each paper contained lengthy articles
about the arrest of Ortolph in Talla-
hassee, and about the hearing that
took place here before United States
Commissioner Guyte P. McCord. Or
tolph was not arrested in Pensacola
and was not taken to Pensacola.
While Tallahassee is not envious of
its gulf coast sister city, the people
of the State capital do like to see the
news told correctly when it concerns
something that actually happened in
this city.
1t is reported here that Ortolph
has been constantly under sufveil-
lance since he left Tallahassee short
ly after the case against him there
was dismissed for lack of evidence
The United States court officials
were not able to obtain any positive
evidence that he was an agent Of the
German government, but many Of
them still believe that he was so EN-.
ployed.
