Raiders Driven Out.

A hostile raiding party reached our

moved great many Of their guns well
TO the rear, leaving others forward to
keeA I'D a show of resistance. This they
had been valantly doing for the past
three or four days, firing more rounds
than any German guns in recent months
The reason for this is considered as
probably a desire to shoot up stores of
ammunition which there was not time
to remove.
The foGgy. misty weather was ideal
for the beginning of the German retire
ment. as 1t completely hid the purpose
OF the movement from the prying eyes
Of the arplane, which otherwise would
have daily searched out the German po-
stions. Germans made prisoner yester-
day and to-day said they had been left
behind to walk about and fire their rifles
and make as much noise as possible.
They were delighted to be relieved from
their thankless task.

Patrols sent forward reported the
evacuation of the German outposts.
Similar reports came from north OF the
Ancre. and by nightfall Yesterday the
British had established themselves in
Petit Miraumont and advanced all along
the line, meeting only with sniplng re-
sistance here and there
To-day the British patrols pressed for
ward. keeping in close contact with the
Germans, who had retrcated further
1000 yards during the night. Thus the
way was opened to the ground winch LOT
months had been contested.
There were bursts of stiff resistance
from German obstructing parties, which
had been scattered in the rear of the
retiring columns. Early to-day big
mine was exploded in the main street OF
Miraumont just before the British ad-
vanced patrols entered.

The fact that Carter obtained employ

that led indirectly to his arrest Most Of
the men who act as bus boys in the res
taurants here are foreigners, and few OF
them speak English. Carter's superior
intelligence and his command of English
attracted the attention of the restaurant
proprietor, who on several occasions
questioned Carter about himself.

Carter told the police that he became
connected with the Midvale company
about two years ago. Prior to that time
he had been traffic manager for whole

had been in the fruit business for him

he took the money.

The police said tonight that Carter
defalcations covered period of several
months. and that early last January the

which had furnished his bond became
aware that something was wrong with
his accounts.

ALBANY. Feb. 25.-Robert Carter of

OF $4,000 a year. Tonight when he
returned TO his furnished room at ~

The police say Carter will be taken
back to New York tomorrow morning
for arraignmcnt. In his cell at police
headquarters tonight he made no at

Il can be stated. however. that the
British now or soon will I've in a posi-
ton possibly to force the evacuation or
Bapaume. which has been the key to the
German position since the beginning or
the battle OF the Somme.
The points which already have fallen
into the hands of the British have stood
out in the history of the fighting on this
front and had been most stubbornly de-
Tended Only week ago when the
British attacked on two mile front
east and south OF Miraumont and Pys
the German resistance was bitter and
the high ground desired was won only
after desperate hand to hand encoun-
ters and the taking of more than 500
Germans prisoners.
The British had been waiting FOR n
clearing OF the foggy weather before
pressing the advance. but meantime 1t is
apparent that the German high COM
mand decided to retire without any fur
ther fighting to stronger positions pre-
pared we'll to the rear.
Friday night fires were observed in
the German front line trenches. They
were only dimly visible through the
thick mist Of the particularly black
night, but il was discovered that tn.
flames issued from burning German
dugouts.

cover of fog and mist, which have been
particularly heavy in the past forty
eight hours on the Ancre, the Germans
to-day carried out the greatest retire
ment they have made on the western
front in the last two years, and the
British have swept into possession OF
Pys. Serre, Miraumont and Petit Mirau-
mont. including the famous Butte de
Warlencourt. which has been the scene
Of some of the fiercest fighting of the
war. and in places is deep with the bones
of dead men.
The exact extent of the German re-
trement is not known tonight. but 1t is
estimated that 1t approaches depth
OF three miles at some points. British
patrols are out in all directions harassing
the Germans and keeping in touch with
their movements. Until they report 1t
will not be possible to say just where
the Germans have determined to fix
their next line Of resistance.

a thorough rechecking OF their
lists of employees
The work has been requested by
federal authorities who are contin-
uing their man hunt among enemy
aliens which began last Wednesday
night and Thursday morning with

Today's developments from the
recent raids includes the discovery
OF a death-dealing device described
by the police as cedar box bomb"
One-half of the box contains a high
explosive and the other a spring
which explodes it by the slightest
touch on the handle of the box.
Interest today cepters in the ar
rest of Adolph Colombo of Hobo
ken. in whose possession was found
a quantity of seditious literature.
Police admit that a notebook found
in his possession contains the names
of persons of German names living
in Hoboken and New York and that
newspaper clippings OF much sig
nidcance also were found.
Steamship piers and water fronts
are being closely watched today
and additional arrests are expected.
