Mnrlh,s Greatest Bnttle.

There is now ::"inG on in tn" COIN
try Just south of Il line between S"iS-
SONS and Rheims, Il battle which Will
probably take its place III history us
one of the iicrCcSt, bloOdIcSt ana inost
important in the history OF the world
If the Niles win this battle II Will
mean the beggisping OF the uid OF the
war, and if they Tosr-.1-IS war will
have to so over int" another year a'
least, and maybe longer.
The tremendous battle is the CLIMAX
of the Allied drive that began on July
10, and which has been in progress
>,r since. with the Allies g"lnE
steadily.
With the battle in it's early STAGES
our readers are familiar. The lines al
the beginning w"r" IN III" form "I Il
mighty ~" with the top of the l"it
side resting on Soiss"nS, the top OF the
right side resting on Rheims. and the
bottom extending southward across TN"
Marnc river.
The Germans were inside OF the u,
with the AllicS poundin" them ON alI
sides, driving them from the hottom'
holding them on the sides, and Sluev%-
ing them in from the top.
The German forces inside the ~
numbered close To half Il million men,
and if the top ends could have bcrh
suuccZcd together these half nIillioh
mon would have been forced 10 sur
render. along with tremendous uuanu-
ties of war material that they were
taking along for their drive On iilrlS.
Except for the vast forces OF Ger
mans TO the north of the opening oi
the II" II would have been obviously
impossihl. for those within tn haN"
gotten out: hut these forces were sui
iicivnt to hold bach tn" Allies on cithci
side until the German forces to the
south were able to press on to the
north.
Rut all the while the Allies have
been pressing northward from the
south, and toward the centre from the
east and west, and the pressure of the
Germans from the north on both the
Allied fronts. has brought together tn
main armies uf the Allies on the on"
hand and the Germans on the other.
with the result that the great battle "l
the ages is now IN progress.
The original battle line WAS about ="
miles long. and it iS now reduced TO
less than nifty miles: but the reduction
has only added TO rather than dimin-
ishcd the tremendous momentum oil
the mighty struggle.
The information is that the Germans
now have more than million men IN
this great battle, many divisions nav
ing been sent forward 10y Prince Ru-
prvcht To the rVlirt oi the German
crown prince. whose army 1t was tha'
had been gotten into that most dam
gcrouS pocket.
AS to how many mon Gen. foch mas
with which TO meet the Germans Is
not known: hut from what the Allied
in chief has been dong up
to this time. the presumption Is that
he is well able TO handle all that the
Germans can bring against him. NJ
least to the extent Of holding them
back.

IRREGULAR ENROLMENT

That is n very interesting and i'm
portant situation that has been de-
velopcd with reference to Yorkville
No. 2 club roll as disclosed by the in
vnstigations OF the Democratic cxccu-
tive committee last Monday.
Yorkville No. includes all the
Democratic voters In York township
east OF Congress street. Lincoln
street. and the Chester road.
Examination of the books by the
Democratic e.ecutive committee de-
veloped that between It's and 200
voters. possibly more. were entered in
handwriting other than that Of the
enrolled members.
The law of the party. which Is the
law of the state, having been enacted
into a statue with the approval of the
governor. provides that every club
member must sign the club roll with
his full name, and in his own hand
writing, provided he can write. In
the case of a club member who can
not write. the secretary in charge OF
the club roll may write his name for
affix his mark which must be duly at
tested.
It has been held that II John Brown
Smith signs his name John b. Smith,
such a signature will be acceptable:
but IL he makes II J. B. Smith. II II
not, and throughout the state hun
dreds Of J. b. Smiths have been
thrown out in times past, for failure
to sign their names In full Along

Yesterday was day of ccascicsS
fighting in which little actual progress
could he made. The enemy offered u
most determined resistance and
brought up fresh troops but although
he delayed us for 4 day. my conviction
is unaltercd that the Germans have
no intention OF standing this side of
the Ncslc.
Throughout yesterday the tncmy's
machine gun fire scarcely ceased even
when apparently none OF our men
were in the open. The fire swept every
hit of cover where they might b" OK

was strongly hacked by artillery.
