INFLATED during the summer months
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
huenza hit us-and in the last 10 days
this stock has vanished. At first we

by the American artillery yesterday
morning. At the same time two fires
were started in Montdidier, followed
by numerous explosions.
The weather continues misty and
rainy. There was no infantry ac-
tion yesterday and only intermittent
machine gun and rife fire. The posi-
tion of the Germans is becoming
more and more intolerable, while the
Americans are entrenching their po-
sitions more firmly. Any hopes the
enemy might have had of breaking
through in this sector are diminish

The Americans take nothing for

two to one. which is believed to set
new pace in this sector. What ap-

is that the Americans never turn

an alarm clock under his arm, dis

clock to a wire.
Soon the alarm rang, hereupon the
Germans opened fire. The wire had
been SO arranged that the clock con-

the enemy. Meanwhile the Amer
leans rested in their trenches and
enjoyed a hearty laugh.
An American officer turned the
tables nicely on the enemy recently.
The Germans had retired during a
bombardment to concrete dugouts
behind their trenches. leaving the
first three lines to one man, who
went around setting off flares. so as
to create the impression that the
whole front was alive with Germans.

Hampstead, L. ALMOST equallng
L~ongfellow's tale of "Evangeline," are
the strange experiences of Mrs. VIII

nearly three years Of travelling she
finally met her husband at Camp Mills

About three years ago, soon after
their wedding. Captain Whaling was
transferred from the Pacific coast to
the Philippine islands. He left his
bride of three months with the idea

ship after he had obtained suitable
quarters. Delays followed, and 1t was
some months before Mrs. Whaling left

Two weeks before the time the
steamship on which she was travelling
was due in the Philippines, Captain
Whaling was ordered back to the
states. Unknown to each other their
ships passed in the middle Of the Pa

1t Manila found that her husband had

FIRST BIG INFANTRY ACTION
SINCE JUNE DRIVE.
ALLIES GAIN IN ALBANIA
AUSTRIANS' RIGHT WING TURNED
BY ITALIANS IN DASH
NEAR ADRiATiC.

Paris. July 10.-French troops hit
the German lines a smashing blow
early Tuesday morning in the area al
most directly north OF Paris, where
the Germans were stopped after 1lve
days OF fighting in their thrust to-
ward the capital, in the last and least
successful Of all their 1918 oifensives,
about a month ago.
The attack was delivered along a
two and IA half mile front and at some
points Gen. Petain's troops pushed
into the enemy positions for the dis
lance of a mile. Two farms were cap
tured and Il counter attack which a
delivered against Il OF them was re
pulsed. Some 45U prisoners were
taken.
The area chosen for the blow was
south OF the Matt river region, north
west Of the C%Ompeigne forest, on the
front between Montdidier and he
Disc. Further TO the southeast along
the line the French continued to gain
additional ground on the Marine front
by forcing the Germans back further
in the vicinity of the Chavigny farm.
Entente airmen are keeping up an
active bombardment of the area be-
hind the German lines. British flyers
again have invaded Germany, dropping
bombs on Kaiserlautern, east of
Metz, and on Luxembourg. In aerial
fighting British and French airmcn
have accounted Tor twenty-five ma
chimes.
the French and Italian assaults were
launched north of Avlona July G. 1t
appears that the Allies have been sue
cessful in turning the Austrian right
wing. An official statement from
Rome says that Italian cavalry have
gained the Austrian real and de-
strOyed bridges across the Semini
river, which parallels the Voyusa,
where the attack was begun. This
marks an advance of about fifteen
miles. All positions have been main
tanned on the heights Of Bolnia and
slight progress made elsewhere.
Martial law has been proclaimed in
Moscow. Advices received at Basic
stated that the Russian social revolu-
tionaries have confessed the plot to
murder Count Won Mirbach, the Ger
man ambassador to Russia, in order to
annul the Brest-Litovsk treaty.

time the Yukon was frozen and weeks
elapsed before navigation was re-
sumed. The return trip vas made by
slow stages, and Mrs. Whaling finally
reached Ell Paso, Tex, where a COM
munication from her husband Informed
her that he had passed the border and
would be in Mexico for some time.
Mrs. Whaling waited In Texas some
weeks, expecting the return of her hus-
band, only to be again disappointed by
learning that months would elapse be-
fore the return Of the American forces.
When Captain Whaling's regiment
finally reached Its Ohio camp Mrs.
Whaling, who had been with her rela-
tives in Kansas City, started for Ohio.
To her CONSERVATION she learned that
two hours before her husband had left
for Long Island. She then came. east
by express and was trying to learn the
location of her husbands regiment at
Camp Mills when she met an army Of
icer with whom she was acquainted in
the Philippines. After some search
Captain and Mrs. Whaling met in front

ALLIES TO oUTNUMsER FOES.
Hun Forces Estimated at 2,842, 900 and
Entente at $500, 900.

observation-disclosures compiled here
of official German and allied reports
indicate that the allied armies in
France will far outnumber those of
General Ludendorff when the forth
coming German drive is launched.
Germany will marshal 2,S42,000 men
and the allies will have at least $780,
000, it is believed.
These figures are based upon pub
lished reports in Germany which state
that the French and British nov have
approximately eleven divisions, or q
500, 900 men. To this must be added
the American force Of 1,00O, 900 in
round numbers, and the Italian, Bel
gian and Portuguese troops. AS the
forces of the last three mentioned
countries are not large and will un-
doubtedly be offset by divisions which
the Germans will send to the western
front later, they are not calculated in
the total strength Of the allies.
