 ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN FRANCE, Nov. 4.-(By the Associated Press) The French advance in pur- suit of the Germans beyond the Chem in des Dames has attained an average of q mic and half, the southern bank of the Ailette being reached every where. Altogether since yesterday about eighteen square miles of terri tory have fallen into French hands.
 Many points in the line were bonn barded by the German big guns during the French advance, especially in the neighborhood of Allies, where numer- ous mustard-gas shells somewhat de- layed the progress of the French troops.
 The French are displaying the great est prudence in their movements, in consequence of the frequency of the caverns on all sides of the hills As a result of this caution the troops while going forward discovered a number of traps for the unwary. In Cerny a steel helmet hung on a pole was found on examination to have an electric wire connection running into a mine which would explode in the event of the helmet being snatched away
 At the present moment the French occupy every crest and possess all the observatories about Craonne, Allies, Cerny and Courteon while so far as can be made out the Germans have established their line on the other side of the Ailette valley. They destroyed every bridge over the Ailette as they retired
 The German evacuation was discov- cred on Friday when q patrol of chas- seurs found one of the German front trenches empty and Immediately gave ;he alarm. Other patrols advanced and found all the trenches empty and q search of dozens of shelters and tun-

He Was the kaiser's Choice

BERNIE, Nov. 4.-The appointment of Count von Hertling as imperial Ger man chancellor is looked upon here as a revolution in the political life of Germany. In high official quarters the appointment is said to shift the center of the peace fight away from the Prus- sian military circles toward Munich and Vienna, and consequently it is consid- cred tremendously significant for the rest of the world.
 The choice of Count von Hertling everywhere is hailed as victory for parliamentarianism, but it is little known that Emperor William and not von Hertling, took the initiative in the parliamentary consultations. Emperor William told von Hertling he could have the chancellorship on condition that he showed that the majority in the reichstag was behind him, it is said He added that he was unalter- ably opposed to anyone who, like Dr. Michaelis, the retiring chancellor. was merely pawn for one or the other group and who would likely be obliged to resign soon.
 Thereupon, it is said, von Hertling gained the support of the centrists, the liberals, national liberals and social ists, thus leaving only the conserva- tives against him.
 While Emperor William and the conservatives are known to have beer satisfied with Dr. Michaelis. the en- peror made up his mind not to risk a | chancellorship crisis in a few weeks and took recourse in the nearest ap- proach to parliamentarianism Germany ever has known.
 It is stated that Dr. Karl Helfferich vice chancellor, is certain to give ui | his post.

LONDON, Nov "A dispatch to Reuters limited, from Athens, contains the texts of telegrams secretly ex- changed between Athens and Berlin prior to the overthrow of King Consta- tine. One of the most interesting was sent November 23, 1916, by Queen Sophie, sister of Emperor William, to the emperor II follows:
 By q miracle we are unhurt. The allies bombarded the palace for three hours with the French fleet, which opened fire without warning. We took refuge in the cellars.
 There was lively street fighting to- day, revolutonaries firing from houses on the army and people, who fought magnificently. It Was a great victory against the great powers, whose troops fled before the Greeks and withdrew, escorted by Greek sol diers.

BERLIN, (Via London), Nov. 4, II a. m.-Outside the brief reference in the general staff report, no details are available here with regard to the capture of the first American troops in France.

 It was evident that the German troops which occupied the front lines until the last moment received little warning of the order to retire, as half eouheu meals, still hot, Were found in the sauce pans.
 It is a remarkable coincidence that the French troops who are racing the Germans on this occasion had occupied Lassigny when the Germans executed their retreat in March of this year.
 The entire position, which IS d per feet honeycomb of shelters, was re-or- sanized by the French during the course of the day and last night.
 It is uncertain whether the Germans intend to retreat further, although many movements of the troops toward the north have been observed, and it is believed Laon has been evacuated by the civilian population. It is known that the Germans were busily engaged throughout the summer in establishing field works at q considerable distance ln the rear of their present position.

VOW HERTLING'S SUCCESS IN HIS NEW OFFICE IS ONLY PROBLEMATICAL

dispatch to the Vossische Zeitung says that the opposition in the Bulgarian parliament proposed on Thursday last a vote of lack of confidence in Premier Radoslavoff and his ministry, which was defeated by only nine votes.
 The opposition speeches are not transmitted, but brief resume of Rad oslavoffs reply indicates that the gov ernment was criticized for permitting Bulgaria to become a vassal of the central powers from a military stand point and for sacrificing economic in- depe' >lence and advantages to serve tustIo-Gei man interests.

 LONDON, Nov. 4.-Count von Hert- ling, the new imperial German chan cellor according to ar Amsterdam dis hatch to Reuters limited, will make his first appearance before the reich stag November 22.
 Count v0n Hertling, conferred on Saturday with General von Ludendorff, chief of the general staff, and Fielo Marshal von Hindenburg in the pres ence of several leading parliament arians. according to an Exchange Tele- graph dispatch from Copenhagen today Chancellor von Hertling's negotia- tions with regard to the entry of par lismeniarians into the cabinet, adds the correspondent. will have to await his return from Bavaria. about the middle of the present month.
 Probabilities of Permanence
 COPENHAGEN, Nov. 4.-Satisfa"- tion of the liberal elements of the Gerrr m population and press wlth the new administration in Germany seems mixed and half way. It is based rather on the assumption that Count vor Hertling. imperial chancellor, is enter ing office as the representative or the majority of parliament, rather than upon von Iertling's personality, and he evidently will last only so long as he conducts his administration as the representative of the majority party.
 Count von Hertling. notwithstanding his age and previous record has showi pliability and elasticity toward the demands of the majority party. which were scarcely expected, and the suc- cess of the von Hertling era will de- pend largely on the ability of the reich stag majority to hold together anG agree on a policy which von Hertlins will be willing and able to represent.
 The Pan-German movement has an sw cred the appointment of von Hert- linz with straight declaration of war base, on his known and suspected attitude On peace terms and the belle that lN. is inclined to make peace or a basis which will permit later a re approachment with the western powers Count von Hertling's views on Belg inm. however, are not those which tn entente powers are considered likel, 10 accept They were phrased to ap pear that Belgiums ante bellum pol icy must be altered in favor Of Ger many. presumably by some checks in consistent with it's full independence

Higgins Is Pennant Winner
/ J. u II ] !
Will Make Good AS a Pilot

TN q lengthy article panning John
McGraw for alleged mistakes that
\ lost him the 1917 Worlds Series,
Billy Murphy IN the St Louis Star
drifts into praise Of Miller Higgins
and expresses the belief that the re-
firing manager OF the st. Louis Card
inals could have made a better show
ing with the Giants than did 8IcGraw.
Here IS what Murphy says:
Given the same ball club. Miller
Higgins would have run away from
Chicago. Higgins has made a great
leader for the Cardinals and has been
very much unappreciated. He has
that Infinite capacity for toll which
is genius. He is a keen student Of the
game. He is seldom caught mapping
or unawares- He is one OF those base
He IS not found wanting when the
pinch comes
He leads HIS men a cleanIy
example and adheres to "a. He
believes that you should correct
your own gait before putting
hobbies on others. In a ball

Of baseball.
There is no doubt that Higgins IS
one OF the smartest managers in
baseball The wisest man on the
diamond will tell you that He has
never had first class club to oper-
ate. He has worked without pitch
ers OF class. although Doak did so
mighty good one year.
Huggins's players have had few
favors such as are part and parcel
Of the perquisites Of men belonging

who win games. He hasn't had the

baseball man, unless he had some
motive in mind. There might have
been a hit and run play on. as Jack
son was going for second when tins
ball was hit
This might have been to avert
a double play, for the Giant in
field played b-ck and was will
ing to let the SOX have one run
Or Collins probably figured that
by running he would stop
double play, a. am sure Benton
could have made one had he
wheeled and whipped the ball to
second.
The ball was hit 80 hard that Felsch
had hardly started from the plate
Whatever the play was Collins did
third as far as he did, although the
play did result successfully for the
Sox."
This play Of Collins went unnoticed
because Of the stupendous blunder
Zimmerman perpetrated in chasing
him across the plate. when all he had
To DO was TO toss the ball TO Rariden
for the out The procedure Of that
play was so unexpected that the fans
and experts overlooked the fact that
Collins slipped Up a little by break
ing for the plate with the bail and
play in front OF him and no one out
at the time.
The argument about Zimmerman's
play continues and II probably will so
on throughout the winter. as baseball
men and players have different opin-
ions regarding where the players
should have been as soon as Collins
was trapped between third and home.
