PARIS, Sept. 11.-Thru the most
terrific rains since the fighting be-
gan last March, the allies today are
not ceasing to batter the Germans,
harassing them everywhere from
Dixmude to Rheims Nevertheless,
the operations are steadily slowing
down.
Belgians. British. French and
Americans are smuggling up closer
to their former lines. II the rains
continue, mud will force a further
slackening. Still. the weather has
been exceptionally dry since before
the offensive, and the German Is
thirsty, so much of the moisture
can be absorbed. But an early set-
ting in OF the rainy season. which
is now liable at any time, would
affect the whole trend Of the re-
mainder of the campaign.
Today. despite local fighting
where the British and French wcre

"MI FOUR YEARS IN GERMANY

The Liberty Theatre presented ON
two days this week very real and
very Interesting picture based upon
former Ambassador Gerard'S book
entitled "My Four Years in Ger
many" The scenes. plot and action
clearly typify German subtlety, cum
ming. deception. and cruelty. and
show the German Government as it
is-a beast seeking to conquer and
rule the world with its damnabla
"kultur." Gerard. as Ambassador,
had the nerve to defy the German
Emperor. and was probably in large
measure the means of keeping peace
with that country for long time.
The picture ought we'll to he seen by
every American. II is worth the
money as amusement. and worth any
mans time for the information and
enlightenment II contains.

On another occasion on the same trip

a load OF vegetables to market As soon
as she came within hailng distance she
called for US to stop and motioned wildly

she was in no danger whatever. since a
blind horse had never been known to
take fright at a "horseless carriage"
