With the American Army on the

Associated Press. )-American with
the French moving with them on
their left, have advanced from the
Vesle to the edge of the plateau
Blanzy and Baslieux. The Germans
nearest this line along which they
might make a rear guard defense of
! any consequence are opposite the edge
Of the plateau paralleling the Aisne,
over which it is obvious they have re-
moved their stores and heavy artil-
| lery.
The advance Of the Americans in
force began at o'clock this morn
ing and patrols, one after another,
have been going over all day and
meeting sharp resistance at some
points.
After a month on the vesle. during
which they have been subjected to a
gentle pressure night and day by the
tightly drawn line from scissors to
Rheims. the Germans appear to be
heading straight for the Aisne and
possibly for their old positions on the
Chemin des Danes. 1t was not unex-
pected. The move was in fact be-
cause 1t was inevitable. While the
pressure from the south was insistent
If not vigorous. the onward drive
i north from Scissors on to the west

sition between the two rivers practi-
cally untenable.
The extent to which the retreat has
gone is not mentioned officially and
therefore cannot be told, but 1t Is per-

ress has been made by the Americans.

CRAP SHOOTING
BOYS ON INCREASE

According TO Chief OF Police Black.
The increasing population OF this city
lured here by the high wages is re-
Eponslble for the increase in the crime
that has swept this city during the
past few months. This fact was brought
out when 1t was learned that the police
records for November showed an in
crease OF 200 per cent in crime over the
corresponding month Of last year. In
speaking Of the wave OF lawlessness
Chief Black said:
Few Of our citizens have contributed
10 this crime wave.
One OF the chief factors hat
boosted the drunkenness totals in the
fall was the fact that the wholesalers
for awhile sold liquor by the quart
when the retail places were closed dur
Ing the Influenza epidemic"
The increase In the number Of arrests
FOR shooting crap. Chief Black holds,
Is due 70 the fact that the youth Of the
city are earning more money than ever

work and trips and have TO be ready
for anything all the time. The Irish
