TO MAKE HISTORY
ARMY CROSSES RIVER MEUsE IN
FACE OF HEAVY ENEMY
FIRE.

With the American Forces on the
Sedan Front.-The crossing of the
River Mouse and the capture Of the
town Of Dun by the Americans, when
its full details are known. will rank
as one of the most gallant feats Of the
operations northwest of Verdun. The
troops who accomplished it will be
entitled to rank as heroes, for their
work In militarily crossing the stream
was a strategic movement of unusual
daring.
The crossing involved the forcing
of way over the 160 foot river. 3
half-mile wide stretch of mud and 60
foot canal in the face of frightful
enemy fire. 1t also involved SWIM
ming by those who knew how and
the pulling of others over ropes. Crap
pling irons were used to scale the
sheer walls of the canal, along which
machine gunners had been posted,
under the fire of scores of batteries
from the hills adjoining.
The troops received their grin in
structious to cross the Mouse under
"a sun which was shining for the first
time In days. The orders were TO
send over enc brigade. and II that
failed to send another and others, one
after the other, IL it became neces-
sary.

TURNS.

With the French Arm yin France
The FTanco-American operations west

shaken the pivot upon which the en-
tire German retreat turns. The Ger
mans are still making a stout resist
ance. without modifying the salient
feature c. the situation, which is that
their armies west Of the Mouse are
practically cut of from direct COM
munication with Metz.
The main reliance Of the Germans
now is on the line of the Mouse,
which they appear determined to de-
fend, while west Of the river their
principal resistance is along the Ar
dennes Canal. French troops have
reaches this obstacle from Rilly-aux-
Oies, at the bend of the Aisne, to the
River Bar. Here they encountered
sustained artillery, machine gun and
musketry fire.
The Germans are still holding along
the Aisne between Rethel and Cha
teau Porcien, while further west in
dications Of a retreat were noticed.
The French pursuit maintained con-
tact with the enemy's rear guards
and reached Herpy and the region
east of Recouvrance and Bannegne.
as well as height SO, southeast Of Mon
tignyle-Court.
East of the Disc River French troops

the famous Golden Glades sextet
The latter give representation of
hockey match that combines all
of the skill and thrills of a genuine
contest.
The second part gives way to a
"boiled down" musical comedy en-
titled "On the Carpet" which is
succession Of clever specialties
threaded together with dozen or
more whistleable song hits. A re-
cent addition to the cast is Robert
Regnier, barytone of unusual
ability.

Here one may dine and dance in an
