The Americans on the sec tors where they are alone or brigaded with allied troops every where arc fighting with a spirit of abandon that places them rightly in the category of veterans. Near the NeuilIy tyeuillyo wood, which lies northwest of Chateau Thierry and at the point where the drive has brought the enemy nearest Paris, the Americans have beaten off strong German attack, md on the Marne at Jaulgonne, some six miles northeast of Chateau Thierry, fighting shoulder to shoulder with the French, they have aided in forcing the first contingent of the enemy to cross the Marne again to seek refuge on the northern bank of the stream. In this last engagement the Ger mans suffered severe casualties and also left 100 prisoners in the hands of the defenders of the line.
 Between the Aisne and Ourcq rivers the Germans have captured Pernant and to the south of that village the French have ceded q little terrain. In the Ourcq valley they also took the town of NeufIly- LaPoterie tyeully-LaPoterie0 7k miles northwest Of Chatea Thierry in fighting during which the place changed hands several times. In the region between the Disc md the Aisne the Germans have been unable to advance any xH-hA Io s,f Ln near Pernant were extremely heavy owing to the stubborn de- fense of the French.
 There still is only moderate ac- tivity along the line held by the British in Flanders and Picardy, where patrol activities and bonn harding continue. On the Amicns front the Germans are heavily bombnrding British positions.
 Full confidence in the outcome of the war again has been expressed by the supreme war council of the allies. which has inst gone over the entire situation resulting from the big German offensive, although 1t was stnted that the allied nations Amay be still exposed to critical days"
 The report of the council says that the aid of the American troops will mnke 1t impossible for the enemy to gain victory by wearing out the allied reserves before he has exhausted his own.
 Additional attacks on shipping by German submarines of the At lantfc coast have been reported A majority of the persons aboard vessels sunk by the underwater craft have reached shore, but 16 from the steamer Carolina perished during a storm while in a motor. boat of the vessel Sunday night.

The ancient Roman glass works
shipped to all parts of the civilized
world; and specimens of their produc-
tons are today found throughout Eu-
rope, and even in Ireland. When
Rome commenced to decline and her
great people fed to ByZantium, they
took with them their glass industries,
and Constantinople became the great
est glass manufacturing city in the
world. This prestige it held up to the
tenth or eleventh century, and when
it entered upon its decline and fall the
glassblowers fed to Venice and there
established what afterward grew into
the celebrated Venetian glassware.
