THE ALLIES ADVANCE.


The greatest offensive of the war
is now in progress between Etain.
selle. q, The advance OF the allied
forcestshas been continuous, though
faced by stern. ,resista. The line
of battle extends for I50 miles and
American troops are occupied in all
OF this section, boys from New York,
Tennessee, North and South Caro-
lima being in the thick OF the fight.
The Hindenburg line has been
punctured in several different places
and the American and British forces
are in fierce fighting around st. Quen-
tin. The British encirclement of
Cambrai continues. and the Cana
dians have captured the defense sys-

Marcoing- -Masnieres line as far north

nearly twenty thousand.
The allied troops everywhere CON

Metz. the great German base, which
is fortified for forty miles around.
AT one place the Americans are less
than ten miles from this city, but
the war map changes each day with
the swiftly moving forces of the al
lies close on the heels of the retreat
ing enemy. Material advances have
been made during the past two OF
three days in Belgium. Flanders and
France, and in Serbia territory is
fast being reclaimed. while in Pales-
tine the Turkish armies have weak
ened to the point or almost total
cessation OF fighting back. In Bel
gium some of the ground which has
been held by the enemy since 1914
has been restored to the Belgians by
the forces OF Belgian and British
troops. The French are on the banks
of the Ailette river at the western end
OF the Chemin-Des- Danes, and 1t Is
apparent that this line of defense
must be abandoned by the enemy in
his retreat northward.
Suff resistance has met the ad
vance Of the allies on the whole of
the western front. but a steady
march has been kept up nctwith-
standing, and large numbers of pris
oners, guns and material have been
taken, fifty thousand prisoners and
three hundred guns have been taken
in Palestine. The Teutonic allies
since July Is. when the allied often

CRISIS INMEXICAN
OIL DISPUTE NEAR

The time has come for plain talk
regarding the evident attempts Of
the Mexican government to levy con-
fiscatory taxes and royalties on ap-
proximately 5000, 900 worth Of
American-owned oil lands in Mexico,
according to a statement issued today
by the Department of Commerce.
The controversy is over the oil
lands, upon which the Mexican gov
ernment is trying to visit the right
of taxation under the ancient eminent
domain laws, which provide against
the ownership of any Mexican soil
by any except Mexican companies or
persons. The United States Govern
ment is watching with Interest," tho
action of Mexican courts ON the suits
involving these issues.
THE United States cannot acqui-
esce in any procedure Ostensibly or
in the form OF taxation of
the exercise of eminent domain. but
really resulting in conffscation OF
private property and arbitrary priva-
tiOn OF vested rights" the statement
reads.
The controversy over the oil-land
is particularly interesting
since the United States is sorely in
need Of oil for war purposes, and as
other governments are also pushing
cl6ims against the right of eminent
domain. The present controversy is
one of the most potent factors in the
Mex situation today.
