GERMANS DEFEATED
ON 2O-MILE FRONT
Second Line Of Defenses Is
Reached In Many Places
by Allied Troops.

London.-British troops in conJunc
ton with the French forces on thsiI
left attacked the German positions
along a wide front north Of the river
Lys. The entente allied forces have
advanced well beyond the shell shat
tered front line German trenches. In
many places they have reached the
second line defenses on q z0-mile
front OF attack. according TO the re
ports.
The official statement from British
headquarters In France reported the
capture by the entente allies in their
drive Of the following villages: La
Basseeville. Steenstraets. Bixschoote,
Keriorenkoek. Frezenberg. Saint Jul
ian. PiIken. Hoogs. westhoek and
Hollebeke. and more than $500 prison
ers.
At many points on a front OF 20
miles the allies took three lines OF
German trenches.
~ - sAlu the IeFma1s are employ-
ing new scheme OF defense which
apparently depends principally upon
organization for counter attack.
They now diminish their garrisons
and by the same amount increase the
strength OF their supports and re
serves who hold rear lines In force
and who are organized for immediate
attack.
AS an instance Of The terrible pound
ing by the British artillery, 1t Is said
to be known that the crew Of one
German battery had to be replaced
nine times and the guns thereof five
times.

RUSSIAN ARMY IN
CRITICAL POSITION

London.--A dispatch to the Post
from Petrograd referring to the Rus
sian retreat in Galicia says 1t is con.
servatively estimated that more than
two million Russian troops are stead
lily marching rearward. These con-
stitute the 11th and 7th armies with
their reserves.
The Sth army, which is largely cav
airy and not included in the foregoing
figures, also is retreating, and its po-
sition, says the correspondent, is ex-
tremely critical. The Germans are
straining every effort to capture 1t
while following up the Eleventh and
Seventh armies.
dispatch to the Times from the
headquarters Of the Russian army
says the situation is more hopeful.
Panics among the retreaters are sup
pressed ruthlessly. Three divisions
of cavalry have taken positions across
the whole front or retreat.
Deserters are shot and attempts to
spread panic are suppressed by
prompt executions.

The Kansas Free fair, miniature

received this morning, Will include
Calling guns, genuine navy torpedo
and a complete naval defense mine
The torpedo that will be displayed is
a duplicate of those used at the present
time to combat the German boats. 1t
is about fourteen feet long and will be
one of the most interesting displays of
