AMERICAN TROOPS
PURSUING GERMANS
NORTH FROM VESLE

taken by assault or forced TO retire.
The withdrawal OF the Germans is
regarded as direct result of the enor-
nous pressure against their line .ex-
tending north Of Scissors. It will
not be surprise If d secondary resis-
tance for another brief interval will
be made where the line runs back
toward Rheims.
II is pointed out that the Germans
cannot afford to hold there long,
since the same pressure will be exert.
ed, and they cannot afford to leave a
salient at this point. BY shortening
and Strengthening their line with Its
base on the Chenin des Danes, the
Germans will be able to release two
Of the four divisions for much needed
support in other sectors.
The Germans carried out their re-
treat behind ! smoke screen raised on
the northern edge Of the plateau
north of the Vesle. French and
american patrols are we'll to the
north of the river with numerous
towns and villages at their mercy.

With the British Army in France,
Sept. 4.-British troops are on the
Canal Du Nord practically along its
whole length from Peronne to north
of the Arras-C Cambria road and in the
south at two places. where the canal is
only about half constructed, at
Ruyaulcourt and Moislains. Patrols
are pushing forward.
Along the canal to the north the
enemy is holding the east bank, ap.
pareItly In great strength, and has
been using his machine guns freely
All day. Patrols have been heavily
fred upon.
The Germans have destroyed all the
bridges and crossings over the canal
Exhausted and in confusion the en-.
envy is being subjected to heavy shell
fire. But the British for the moment
are making no attempt to drive him
turther. II appears that the Germans
intend to make a desperate stand
here in front Of the famous Bourlon
wood and Cambria
The northern part OF the Hinden.
burg line IS being cleared. Allied
troops are making progress astride il
n southeastcrly direction.
North OF Peronnc, the British have
xdvanced to the east. and while the
actions have not been fought with the
violence which characterized those in
fhc past four days, being mainly be-
tween strong British advanced patrols
and German rear guards, additional
ground has been gained. The enemy
artillery seems to have stifened all
along the line.

BOMB EXPLODED
AT CHICAGO KILLS
FOUR, WOUNDS Il

Continued From rage Onesb ~
/ leased by Judge Lands because O
his physical and mental condition
was taken into custody early thi:
evening for questioning in connection
with the explosion.
Daley Kicked Out.
Haywood said. that Daley practi-
cally had been kicked out OF the l.
w. w. and that ii was foolish to con-
meet him with the explosion. The
| organization dropped Daley, he said,
when he recently entered the federal
building despite an order of the gov
ernment authorities that he remain
away from the structure.
Bomb Of High Explosives.
The bomb which is believed to have
consisted OF at least three wire-wrap-
ped steel cylinders charged with high
explosives, was carried into the
Adams street entrance of the build
ing during one Of the most busy
periods of the day. Concealed in a
suit case and connected with a time
fuse, the device was deposited behitd
radiator unnoticed by the passing
throng. Nearly 100 persons were in
the corridor at the time. at the stamp
windows, writing desks and letter
registry division.
The explosion came just at $40
o'clock. The force OF the blast tore
the radiator from its fastenings and
hurled it 20 feet into the street, where
it struck and killed a passing horse,
smashed the desks, uprooted great
slabs of marble from the walls and
ground the woodwork into splinters.
Debries Flies Everywhere.
Flying debries cut into shreds
several war posters and canvas ban
ners stretched across the front of
the entrance and filled the street with
plaster, stone and broken glass.
Directly across the way, every
pane Of glass in the first three floors
of the Commonwealth, Edison and
Marquette buildings was blown in
upon the occupants OF offices, stores
and restaurants. Many of the in
jured were cut by these flying frag-
ments. Every person in the corridor
where the exp,oslon took place was
hurled to the floor and their cries
soon filled the building and halted
the first panic stricken rush Of the
uninjured to escape from other en-
frances.
The streets outside were soon
roped off by policemen and firemen
and ambulances and requisitioned au-
tomoDiles began the work Of rush
ing the victims to nearby hospitals.
Within a half hour detail of sailors
from the Great Lakes naval training
station and detachment OF home
guards with fixed bayonets took up
the task of keeping back the crowds.
Outrage Inevitable.
"This outrage, in my opinion, was
inevitable as an act OF reprisal on

declared after hurried investigation,

was acomposed OF nitro-glycerine. |
Several arrests have been made and
we are questioning the prisoners as
fast as we can. All persons known
to be OF radical thought will be
brought in for examination"

FRENCH HIDE
IN CELLARS TO
AWAIT RESCUE
Men and Women Held Captive
by Germans Since 1914
Rescued by British
at Encourt.

With the British Army in France,
Sept. 4.-Villages which have been
taken at the crest Of the advance had
previously been evacuated by the
enemy. In at least one town some
French inhabitants, including wo-
men, managed to hide themselves in
the cellars and after enduring several
days of shell FIRE, first from the ap-
preaching British then from the re-
treating Germans finally were res
cued
When British patrols approached
the town OF Encourt-St Quentin three
men in civilian clothing emerged to
meet them. On the strength of the
story they told, the British troops
rushed into the town and there found
DC persons, 80 of whom were women,
hiding in cellars. They we're helped
out, and came back to the lines.
Captive Since 1914.
It was a strange and pitiful process
sion. Both men and women had been
under the domination Of the Germans
since September, 1914, they had not
seen single allied soldier since then,
for this was the first time that the
ground in the locality of their village
had been out of the possession OF the
Germans since the beginning OF the
war
They were unkempt old Frenchmen
starting at the bare, shell-shattered
fields and roads alive with troops,
aud women carrying parcels or limp
i1gly pushing carts bearing their few
belongings or children across fields
. where one of the most furious battles
of the war had been fought.
They were almost delirious with
joy as they threaded their way to the
rear between long stretches OF guns,
ainbulances, horses and khaki-clad
soldiers. On the road they passed
men who had been wounded or kill
cd, the combination OF such sights
aud their grateful emotions at being
delivered from the Germans sending
tears streaming down their thin
checks. More than one laughed and
cried alternately as they again trod
the free soil of France and tried to
thank the soldiers who had helped
them.
Hide to Await Deliverancc.
The three men who had first come
out OF the town to meet the British |
returned today, but the rest of the |
party, becoming frightened by the |
enemy shell fire, had found shelter
in the dugouts up at the front. They |
were given warm food and advised
to remain there for while.
One man told story Of how when
the town was gassed he had searched
around until he found dead German
and removed the gas mask, taking it |
back to his mother, who was hiding |
in cellar. On September !, he said |
fiH entire population was ordered )
evacuated by the Germans. Some de-
cidcd that, rather than to miss the |
chance Of escape, they would hide |
and await deliverance. The Germans,
anxious to get away themselves, did
not take time to search the town
thoroughly.
The refugees said that since 1914
The food had steadily become worse
until at last it was just enough to
keep them alive, but it did not give
them sufficient strength to work. It
was almost impossible for them to
get clothing. They had not been al |
lowed to leave their little town since
the Germans first swept into II, al
most four years ago.
