FOE RETREAT
IN FLANDERS
CONTINUES
Vieux Berquin Evacuated
by Huns in Big With
drawal at Merris.

London, Thursday. Aug. 15.-
Further slight enemy with
drawals from the Lys salient
were announced in London to-
day. The enemy has eVacuat-
ed the village of Vieux Ber-
quin, south of MerriS, and has
retired between one and two
miles on front OF nine miles. :
Unofficial information reached
London today that the Germans
have begun a withdrawal on a nine
mile front along the northern flank
of theLys salient in Flanders, fol-
lowing the two retirements on the
Arras-Albert front.
Already they are reported to have
fallen back from one to two miles
in the Flanders withdrawal.
Withdraw On Big Scale!
Signs of a possible retirement by
the Germans on a large scale-per-
haps as large as the much talked OF
Hindenburg retreat-are contained
in official and unofficial adyices
reaching London.
Dispatches from British head
quarters tend to show that the en-
emy has fallen back to a consider
able depth oyer a front of six or
seven miles between Arras and AL
bert. In addition to this the reports
are numerous stating that up in
Flanders the enemy has withdrawn
his lines to a depth of one to two
miles on a nine-mile front.
(RV Associated Press /
Apparently the enemy has com
pleted his withdrawal movement in
the Hebuterne sector, north of AL
bert. Berlin announces officially
that German troops were withdrawn
from small salients. However, il
is not yet clear how far the Ger
mans have retired. The enemy still
holds Albert, but the British are
in the western outskirts.
Berlin Admits Retreat.
Berlin, via London, Aug. 15-(De-
Iayed) Admission that the Ger
mans have evacuated positions near
Puisieux and Beaumont-H -Hamel
which lie to the north of Albert, is
made in the German official com
municatiOn issued today.

Thursday, Aug. Is, (By the Asso-
ciated Press Germany has ac-
knowledged that the man power,
once so freely wasted, now is dwin-
ding in proportions great enough,
apparently, to cause considerable
anxiety to the high command.
The toll taken, particularly in re-
cent fighting by the allied armies
and the prospect of being confront
ed by eyer-growing American forces
has caused General Ludendorff to
issue most imperative orders for a
vigorous, immediate comb-out in
the German army in order to re-
cover from auxiliary units all men
capable Of entering the trenches.
In the comb-out, says the order
issued by General Ludendorff, first
consideration will be given to men
over 43 who have served in the
front lines longer than six months.
He announces that commissions
have been appointed to investigate
the entire situation, including men
of every rank. All men available
for the infantry must be sent to
depots in Belgium, the special pur-
pose of the high command being to
get more infantry reserves.
Appended to the order are spe-
cial instructions to Field Marshal
Won Mackensen and General Won
Schlotz to make "a greater demand
upon the local personnel instead
of using Germans in the auxiliary
services as reinforcements.

0, For a Book
90 for a book and shady nook!'
You recollect the rhymes,
Written how many years ago
In placid, happier times?
Today no shady hooks are ours,
With half the world at strife,
And dark ambitions laying waste
The pleasant things of life;
But still the cry for books is heard,
For solace of the magic word
80 for a book" the cry goes forth,
80 fora book to read;
To soothe US in our WEAKNESS,
The laggard hours to speed"
From countless hospitals it comes,
Wher stricken soldiers lie,
Who gave their youth, who gave their
strength,
Lest liberty should die.
How small favor to implore;
The books we've finished with-no
morei
A book can have a thousand lives,
With each new reader, one;
A book should have a thousand lives
Before it's course is run.
And we few kinder things can do
Our gratitude to show,
Than give the freedom of our shelves
To those that need it so,
Nor let them ask without avail
The sweet beguilement of tale
