ALLIES REGAIN
 1000 SQUARE MILES German Retirement to New
 Line Continues.
,he,t., by American Press Association.

With the spread of the German retreyt an the west the British and French are now pushing forward along the whole great arc from Arras to Soissons, aboue, ninety miles apart by air line and cov- ering a front of over POO miles aloNg E the twists and curves of the foremost trenches. The total area so far re- gained appears to total close to a thou sand square miles of French territory.
 Four large tOwns-Peronne. Nesle, Noyon and Chaulnes-and nearly 200 villages have already been occupied by the advancing allies, although most of them were all but obliterated by the Germans, who destroyed and set on fire what they could not carry away. The British have advanced at some points ten and the French fifteen miles from the old line.
 The British headquarters report says:
 Our patrols have crossed the Arras- Bapaume road and railway at many points between the two places, and al though we cannot yet claim to domi- nate these important routes the Ger mans are certainly off them. In other words, the great salient has practically gone"
 Replying to a question in the house ef commons Andrew Bonar Law, chan eeaior of the exchequer, said the daily average expenditure of the British gov ernment from April 1, 1916, to March 8, 1917, would wcSk out at f6,OO0,OOO tS30,00OOOO).
 Bonar Law said the nominal total national debt was estimated at f3,9OO.- 100000 $19,5OOOOO,OOO.
 The total estimated amount due from Great Britain's allies and the domin- ions, the chancellor said, was 1864 ,OOO,- GOO. or $4,82OOOO.OOO.

His First Golf Play.

H. Chandler Egan's first golf was played on a three hole course in a pasture back of his fathers house, at Highland Park, III. The former cham pion and his brother laid out the links, then invited their cousin, Walter, to teach them the game. The latter tee ing up ball on the first, hit it straight down to the broomstick which served as flag pole. The ball bounced along the uneven green and disappeared in the hole. Turning to his astonished gallery, he remarked:
 'There, you see, it is very simple. That is the way you do it."
 Chandler Egan tried, but didn't sue ceed, and although he won the amateur title twice, he claims he was never able to equal the wonderful drive his cousin made that day.-Golfers' Maga- zine.

Diplomatic Letters Stolen From Gu
 harder Saxonia.
 The mail room of the Cunard liner SaxOnia, which arrived at New York from London a week overdue, was bro- ken into some time during last Thurs day and twenty-six bags of mail cut open.

 The act was discovered by Captain Benison, who immediately sent a wire less message to the postal authorities. The steamer was hardly in quantntine when Postal Inspector Joseph E. Ja- cobs, accompanied by four men, board cd her from a tug.
 The inspectors were unable to tell how much mail had been stolen. A sailor found a package in the hold, which had evidently been thrown away BIS useless to the mail robbers.

 Comparative order has been restored. Food prices dropped overnight. mak- ing a starving populace happy. Huge stocks of foodStuffs were found hid den in many warehouses and method ical distribution has been set in mo tion by the provisional government
 But those who hid these stores and told the country that ''there is no food'' are facing the penalty that is the in dispensable part and parcel of revolu- ton.
 "The former ministers responsible for these crimes will pay the cost announced the new minister of justice. NJ. Kerenski At the same time he in- formed the country that the former duma members whom the reactionary government sent into exile in Siberia because they talked too much will be immediately released.
 Three men stand out as command ing figures of the hour-Kerenski, who is a Socialist and was a duma mem Der from Kiev; Professor Paul N. Mil yukoff, leader of the cadets" now foreign minister, who was the guiding genius of the revolution, and Grand Duke Nicholas, the ex-czar's uncle. to whom may be intrusted the supreme command of the army.
 Say War Will Go On.
 But to this latter plan there is wide spread opposition. There are thousands who look upon him as an autocrat, and the days of autocracy in Russia are over if the people retain their control of the situation.
 While the provisional government is swiftly and energetically effecting and enforcing measures to adjust the whole internal upheaval, it is at the same time bending every effort to show a solid front to the foreign foe.
 "The war will go on until victory Is won" is the motto of the hour.
