Last night Is French report shows
slight gains on the Marine front, where
the Germans have been pushed back to

Vrigny and the greater part of the line

As result of the last week S ac
tivities, the whole situation on the
western front has been transformed.
The Germans according to dispatches
from the front have used sixty-f five
divisions on the Champagne front, and
the whole of the Crown Prince S re-

fresh reserves remaining to the Ger.

Last week it appeared certain that
Prince Rupprecht would be called up

front, but the enemy put off this at.
tack, and the psychological moment fol
it probably has passed, for the Ger
mans appear committed to the great
battle in progress and cannot afford t.
stake heavily on a dubious operation al
another part of the front, according t.
the view of British experts.
The German situation in the salient
although awkward, is not untenable
The enemy S difficulties are not great

was placed for many months in tn,
Ypres salient, before the capture o

miles wide and twenty miles deep, and
similarly, is dominated by the allie,

General March Makes An
nouncement, But Does
Not Tell Number
TWO NEW ARMY CORPS
HAVE BEEN FORMED
Official Advices Show That Present AL
lied Offensive Has Pushed Germans
IL Miles Farther From Paris and
Shortened Allied Lines by 10 Miles.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Trained
combatant American troops from France
have begun to arrive in Italy, General
March announced today at his regular
conference with newspaper men. Neither
the place where they are to be used nor
the number has been Indicated
Two additional army corps have been
organized in France. They are the first
and the fifth commanded by Major Gen
erals George w Reed and Omar Bun
dy respectively
Summing up the battle situation on the
Aisne Marine front, General March said
that it had resulted according to official
advices, in forcing the Germans back IL
miles from Paris and shortening the allied
lines 10 miles. The positions on the flank
of the salient near scissors and Rheims
are unchanged. The German withdrawal
from Chateau Thierry from the center of
the salient leaves the allies 3 II miles
from Fere-enTardenois, and the Germans
are still under constant shell fire.

POSSIBLE VICTIMS
OF GERMAN U-BOAT
Bodies of Man and Woman Lashed To

Recalls Captains Boast.

BAR HARBOR, Me, July 27-The
bodies of man and woman lashed to-
gether were picked up in the harbor to-
day by a patrol boat of the naval coast
patrol reserve. They were found 100 yards
below. the breakwater The bodies had
been in the water several days and an iden-
titcation was believed to be impossible
They were taken in charge by the county
medical doctor, J. d. Phillips, of South,
west Harbor.
The first supposition was that the man
and woman were lost from some vesse
that had been attacked by an enemy sub
marine This was based on the boast o
an officer of the German submarine which
sunk the Gloucester fishing schooner, Rob
ert and Richard, off the coast Monday thai
they had sunk big ship few days EARL
er and that they were in doubt of the stat,
of the crew.

VENISON
EASY TO DETECT
Violators of Law Not Safe Just Because
Deer Meat Is Packed in Brine
Local Case in Point.

Some violaters of the law have an
idea that it is impossible to tell eorned
venison from other kinds of meat, but
recent court ease proves how much
they are in error During q recent
raid In this county a jar containing
three pieces of corned meat was seized.
The officers were well satisfied that it
was venison, but in order to make
doHbly sure three experienced meat
handlers were called in, on July 20,
one at a time, and asked to tell what
kind of meat the jar contained, and
were asked also to express an opinion
as to how long it had been in brine.
All three said right away that it was
veniscn, and all of them, after an ex-
animation of the meat and brine, stat
ed that it had not been in the brine
more than two or three weeks. The
case never came to trial, as the respond
ent decided to plead guilty, and con-
fess to the state s attorney and county
warden that he shot the deer the first
of July.
This shows that the butchers knew
what they were talking about. Fur
thermore the state laboratory at Bur
| lhgton mas Deeh able TO tell, IRON
| samples submitted to it, just what
| kind of animal meat came from, alst
the age and sex of the animal, so il
will be readily seen that it is an easy
matter to prove in court whether o.
not certain jar of meat is venisor
or something else, and the lawbreakel
who gets the idea that he is safe wheI
he gets his venison eorned has anothe
think coming to him.
