up and down King street and enter
ing stores as though he had some
thing TO sell. Upon gazing upon the
mans physique from behind he bore
a remarkable similarity to a we'll
known AleXandrian Of by-gone years
(James Burley, generally known as
"Bow-legged Jim"). This son of St.
Crispin paid the debt of nature in
1892, and left no successor, from a
physical point Of view; hence as soon
as Major Gus Simon, a Transvaal
Beer, the individual referred to
above, was sighted, the older eie-
ment involuntary exclaimed "Bow-
legged Jim redivivus." Upon taking
front view, however, a difference
was apparent between the Alcxan-
drian and the gentleman from South
Africa.
The Major claims to speak six
languages. and is now a naturalized
citizen of the United States. He
served in the Anglo-Boer war 1899

DRIVING GERMANS BACK.
French Make Important Gains in
Forest of Coucy.

French Make Important Gains in
Forest of Coucy.
London, March 2S.-On the flanks
of the Hindenburg line the Germans
were driven back yesterday. French
and British troops took seven more
villages. In the center before st.
Quentin the Germans held firm. The
threat of piercing their line on the
plateau between the Disc and the
Somme has evidently melted the
Germans to desperate efforts.
Important French gains were made
in the forest of Coucy, ten miles
north of Scissors, and the same dis
tance east of Laon. They took the
villages Of Petit Barisis, Vernsuil,
Coucy- cy-la-Chateau, and Coucy-la-
Vile.
The capture of Petit Barisis brought
the French in heavy force within two
miles Of the forest of st. Gobain, one
of the strongest natural defenses Of
the region where the Germans are
expected to make a stand. Advanced
guards of French according to last
nights report. reached the western
outskirt Of this wooden area.
The British made more progress
toward Cambria, in their advance
from Peronne. On a northwest
south west line from twelve to four
teen miles southeast of Cambria,
they stormed and took today the vii
lagos Equan Court, Lieramont and
Longavesnes.
The hottest fighting today was on
the plateau southeast of st. Quentin
on the highway from Ham. The
French hold the railroad entering st.
Quentin from the west, and their ar
tillery dominates the line running
southeast.
The third line running east and
the only remaining one supplying
St Quentin will be in the fire of
their guns if they can advance two
or three miles farther east, along the
low water shed between the Disc
