SUMMARY OF SITUATION.
AssnriAted Praas


Allied troops are Still awaiting a
renewal Of the German attacks in
northern France. Meanwhile the
French troops and new supplies are
nearing in to strengthen the allied
Ipositions, while the Germans are APP
rarently finding difficulty in moving
supplies over the battle torn ground.
In the Flanders and Picardy fronts
rainy weather is adding to the enemys
difficulties.
Last night the British advanced
+ their lines for a short distance in the
Amicns sector between the Somme and
Ancrc rivers in minor operations.
Artillery fire continues violent, In
creased activity by hostile guns de-
veloped this morning on the Flanders
front between Meteren and KENNEL,
There is great aerial activity on
the American sector northwest Of
Toul. Capt. James Norman Hall, n
well known flyer is reported missing,
after a battle in which he, with two
other Americans engaged four Ger.
mans. Two fthe enemy airplaHes
are believed TO have been brought
down.
Fruitless Austrian patrol raids and
limited artillery fire is the only aeE;v-
ity on the Italian front.
A political crisis, involving the Sc
curity Of the Lloyd &c ,rEe govern
ncnt has arisen over l,'tar written
by Gen, Maurice, foraer chief diree-
tor Of military operations in whic1
the veracity of tho prom,Ar is cues
toned. A motion to discuss form
Of inpLiry Is to be made and state
ments by MIurice are to be debated
in the House of Commons tomorrow.
The government looks upon the mo-
ton as vote of censure.

of Chief of Police c. L. Bonner, of
Greenwood, several months ago.
Chandler alleged that the police
man severely beat him. He was, at
the time, in the Jail on charge of
larceny 1t seems that there is some
technical bit of law involved in the
prompt instructions handed down by
Judge Elmore, which granted Chand-
Ter the favorable end of the sult.
1t is understood that it is probable
that the case will be appealed.
The case of W. Binder VS.. Police
