of gauze bandages with the same curse
on them.
In his letter Charley explained that
he had taken the trinkets from a Ger
man prisoner at Toul and that he
would keep right on searching until
he copped the missing ear. Charley
also sent copy of "Plane News" the
trench newspaper printed by our avi-
ators in France, with a marked para
graph or two about a twenty round
bout that had been arranged between
Rose and the French welterweight
champion, to be fought in Paris this
month.
We are going to give the cigarette
box, the buttons and the bandages to
you, Aunt Nell, but the car we are
going to keep and frame (when we
get it or the Kaiser loses it, as you

This is the night, barring rain, hail
and snow, when Battling Levinsky and
Charlie Weinert meet in their post
poned eight-round bout at the New
been training at Bridgeport, Conn,
while Weinert has been working out
at his home in Newark. This will be
their third set-to and it may be three
times and OUT! The arena is only
three blocks from the Summit Avenue
station of the Hudson Tubes.
"Ferocious" Freddie Fulton hoped
into town yesterday afternoon and
after cornering the visible supply of
steaks at the butcher shops went to
Billy Grupp's gymnasium, where he
will start his training for his twenty
at Danbury, Conn. At the end of the
week, after appearing at the War Hos
pitals' Entertainment Associations big
boxing carnival at the Garden next
Thursday night, Fulton will move out
to Danbury to finish off his training.
The "ferocious" plasterer will prob
ably make his headquarters either at
Neighbor Johnny Burr's former farm,
opposite Mistress Fields pond, OR at
"Alabastine" Cottage, just across the
road, where there's swinging couch
hammock, we'll with an "iron bound
bucket" and lots of other tools to keep
an athlete in the "pink of condition" J"
AS for Dempsey, he hit town yester-
Danbury so as to be on the ground
with the worms that the early birds
always catch. Mike Collins, Fred's
manager, and "Jenial Jack" Curley, Joe
Mulvihill's associate promoter, also
went out there yesterday to look over
the site of the battle. Work has al
ready started on the forty thousand
seat arena, so it really begins to
look, Eleanor Ann, as though Brother
Johnny had better hitch up the fiivver
and point its nose toward Danbury on
July 4.

Newark got only All even break in
doubleheader at Wiedenmeyer's Park
Yesterday afternoon with Rochester,
winning to and losing to 0, but
the fans got an extra prize package
and surprise when Cy Seymour stepped
up to the plate in the second game
and beat out bunt. 1t took the bitter
edge off the second affair.
Cy was signed to keep company with
Liberty Schaefer. who is feeling lone
some among so many youngsters. If
it hadn't been for this pair Of pastim-
ers Hagan, the Rochester pitcher,
would have had picnic. They made
three Of Newark's four hits, Schaefer
beating out bunt, too.
The first game was won IN the tlrst
inning, because Newark found that
Heitman had not warmed up and the
Bears promptly started into send
scorching liners, warm grounders and
torrid grass burners to all points of
the field. Five hits in row made
two runs for Newark, Shay and
Schaefer getting across the platter.
But for a nifty heave to the dish by
Kost another Bearlet would have got
through in this inning.
In the second eam- Rommell pitched
as brilliantly as Brady, but his support
was as ragged as the Crown Princes
batting average. Making errors came
as natural to the Bears as losing bat
ties comes to the Grown Prince. Three

Rochester's first two runs came on

SWEEPING GERMANS
 0FF HIGH GROUND

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE-Aug. 20.-General Mangin with his right solidly on the heights north of the Aisne around Fontenoy, is sweeping the Germans off the high ground south of the Disc, obliging them to retreat across the river or retire eastward. In either event the success of the movement will expose the region about Noyon to artillery attacks from the south, the southeast and the south west
 The Germans are fighting hard against this danger. relying principally upon machine guns as in the Thies- court region, thus indicating that some of their artillery already is across or is on the way across the river Disc, The count of prisoners and an inven- tory of the booty taken still are in complete. Our corps in this opera ton had counted fifteen hundred prisoners up to noon. and had inn mense qualities of captured war ma- terials of all sorts.
 At Mont de Choisy, the French troops are within two and one half miles of the Disc at Pontoise, the di- rect road to which is now under fire of the French batteries.
 Carlepont 10 the southwest, is also in the hands of the French tonight. and from this place their guns con- mand another road to the Disc at Sempigny, directly south of Noyon.

PARIS, Aug. 20.-Lieut. Rene Fonck, the famous French aviator. who shot down three German airplanes on Au- gust IA as announced officially Sunday, accounted for all three of them in the record breaking time of 20. seconds.
 FonclS went out escorted by two pa- trolling machines. After cruising for 10 minutes he surprised four enemy two scatter battle planes flying in In- dian file with only a few hundred yards between each
 The French flier fell upon the first enemy machine with his machine gun It fell in flames in 10 seconds. Later he got his sights on the second machine with the same result. The third lodged sideways before Fonck could take aim and Ncaped, but by swift turn of the rudder he dashed at the fourth airplane and sent it down.
 Lieut.. Rene Fonck, recognized as the greatest French air fighter since Cap tain GIynemer is credited with bring ing down SO enemy airplanes. Of these he downed six in one day in the course of two patrols.
 A little over a year ago Lieutenant F'onck entered the aerial service. He is only 23 years old.

IF FRENCH SPECIFIC PART IF
 STRATEGIC PLANS
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

lhepupiican A. r. Leased WireJ
 WASHINGTON, Aug 20- Inter- preted at first as a local operation in- tended primarily to enable the allies to retain complete possession of the initiative on the Picardy front, the rapidly developed success of the French east of the Disc tonight was accepted by many military officials here as a definite and fully prepared effort having a specific part in the larger strategic plans of General Foch.
 Intends to Keep Busy
 Latest advices tonight describing the advance of the French Tenth army for two and one-half miles on front of more than 15 miles were taken as conclusive evidence that the major plan of the allied generalissimo is far more comprehensive than has been supposed. It is believed to include a series of actions which will occupy ev- cry moment until the arrival of winter rains makes the plateaus of Picardy and the plains of Flanders impossible.
 Picking" Rove Pocket Objective
 Most observers agreed that the inn mediate objective of General Mangin's forces appeared to be the picking of the Rove pocket, with the subsequent control of the important supply lines between that city and Noyon. For the larger objective toward which efforts of the allies are being bent, was seen the capture of Noyon and a resultant breakdown fthe German defensive line over a front of scores of miles. Activities of the British army east oi | Arras. around the Merville sector arc thought to be linked up with this larg- CT plan. Not a few strategists foreset | in the near future a more important thrust by these forces, completing the cycle of offensives from Reims to the sea.
Arizona republican., 1918-08-21

The attack of General Mangins fore es from Fontenoy on the Aisne to Pim- prez on the Disc. was progressing fav- orably when this dispatch was filed.
 Prisoners were continuing to arrive at the rear to add to the several thou sand captured before noon and the gain in territory at l o'clock had been from one to two and half miles. The enemy was resisting with the greatest vigor at vital spots. Where the fight ing is thickest the ground is covered with German dead.
 First Line of Defense Breaks
 The artillery preparation, which was most violent, began yesterday morning and the enemy, anticipating an attack hastened to reinforce his lines, sending up two of his best divisions which were held in reserve. These divisions arrived during the night in motor lorries. An hour and half after the order was given to attack, infantrymen were passing Audignicourt and Nasens and were followed immediately by batteries of three inch guns. The first line of defense was then breaking
 The Germans on retiring filled the ravine with mustard gas. This, how ever proved only a temporary trouble, the entire ravine being turned in a short time and the French troops pro- gressing toward Blerancourdelle, eight miles southeast of Noyon.
 Artillery Reaction Weak
 Farther to the right Tartieres, two and half miles southeast of Morsain, was entered at g o'clock and columns i of prisoners began to appear upon the | plateau to the rear. The artillery le- | action was very weak over this part of 1 the front.
 French aviators, flying way down under the low lying clouds, kept the staff regularly informed as to the prog ress of the attack and harassed tic enemy with machine gun fire. Nc German fliers tried to interfere witt their work. Few were seen in the ail during the morning.
 Huns Defense Desperate
 The Germans made d desperate de fense in the hilly and wooded rogicr south of the Disc around Caricpont Caisne and Lombray, where they helt strong positions which were profusel, dotted with quick firers. The Four-a Nerre and Croisette farms were talcl by the French after a violent struggle which proved very costly to the enemy
 At noon the line had been advance, 10 the road east of Carlepont to tn Caisnes wood and Bellefontaine, an, south of Lombray and Blerancourdeli to NeZaponin and then southward L the cast of Tartieres and to. Osly.
