Bapaume and the Scarpe river, and
hard fighting is reported to be in
progress here. The British advance
ed lines are now reported to be east
of Monchy-le-Preux. German rear
guards are fighting to retain their
hold on Pelves on the south bank of
the Scarpe, the British having
reached the edge of the town.
North of the Scarpe progress is be-
ing made by the British on both sides
of the road to Douai. As Haig's
forces advanced south ofthe river
the Germans soon found that the
ground north Of the stream was ex-
tremely dangerous. Here they are
protected with a large number of ma
chine guns and are employing the
same tactics that they generally are
using along the rest of the battle
front.

SPAIN SHOWS PATH FOR
OTHER NEUTRALS TO
FOLLOW TO END

Neutrals Have Been Afraid of Ger
many up to the Present Time
Germany's retreat along the west
ern front is being accepted by the
neutral nations of Europe, whocon-
stitute the only adequate impartial
observers left in the world, as the be-
ginning Of the Kaiser's inevitable de-
feat.
Americas collosal military
strength which is accumulating over
seas, is now exerting profound in
fluence upon all the neutral chancel-
lories and is giving courage to them
to defy the insolent outlaw of Ber-
lin.
The first neutral to show unmis-
takably how the world outside the
conflict regards the present plight of
the German militarists is Spain. The
demand by the Spanish government
that Germany consent to the seizure
of interned German to make good the
losses of Spanish vessels sunk by
German submarines shows how Spain
feels over the situation.
Spain has played an opportunists
part without the war. Spain has
tried to pick the winner in advance,
but has hesitated as to the tide of
battle fiuctuated. Now, however,
by challeging Germany's piratical
rights at sea, King Alfonso's govern
ment. demonstrates that the Spanish
authorities believe Germany is going
to lose the war.
The meek acceptance of Spain's
ultimatum by the Kaiser is within
itself confession that Germany
committed the greatest diplomatic
mistake in modern history when she
refused to abide by a like ultima
tum from the United States.
1t is impossible for the Kaiser's
carmarilla to offer a satisfactory ex-
planation to the German people con-
cerning this reversal of attitude. The
malignant influence upon Germany
morale will be extensive and loss of
confidence in the judgement of those
entrusted with Germany's future
fate will certainly become evident.

FORCES ARE ASTRlDE SCARPE
Are Pushing Forward South of Ba:
paume.
Troops of Field Marshal Haig were
astride the river Scarpe and were
pushing forward to the south of Ba-
paume Tuesday. Elsewhere, along
the British front their progress also
continues.
There has been heavy fighting at
Longueval and on the adjacent line
where the Germans have launched a
heavy counter-attack with fresh
forces brought up especially for the
purpose of Sedan.
In the face of this counter-attack
the British fell back to the edge of
Longueval.
In the course of the night the New
zealanders, according to reports,
swept around Bapaume at the north
and reached the railway just north
of the Bapaume- Cambria road.
The Germans are Offering stiff re-
sistance in the neighborhood of Thil-
10y, to the south of Bapaume.
Reports have been received from
the advance lines that British patrols
have again entered the outskirts of
Bapaume and that there has been
street fighting between the British
and FGermans on the edge ofthe
town.
The British have penetrated the
Hindenburg line at one point to the
east of Deninel, which is between

KEYSTONE OF ENEMY LINE
IN HANDS OF THE BRITISH
French Troops Are Again Advanc-
ing on City Of Roye.

French Troops Are Again Advanc-
ing on City of Roye.
Smashing through the German
lines in battle field of northern Pic
ardy, British troops have reached the
western and northern outskirts of Ba-
paume, the town which has been con-
sidered to be the keystone of the en-
emy lines in that sector of the front.
The official statement issued at
London shows slow but continued
progress in almost every part of the
line from Croisilles, for to the north,
to we'll below the Son1me river.
The British are advancing coward
Beugnatre, two and half miles
northeast Of Bapaume nearer the
Somme river they have moved east
ward along the difficult ground bor-
ders that esteem. They are report
ed east of Suzanne which is situat-
ed on the northern bank of the river
and are closing in on Dompierre
which may be the pivot of the Ger
man lines south of the Somme in the
direction of Chaulnes.
French troops are once more ad-
vancing near Roye, the official state
ment issued at Paris telling of sue
cesses near St. Mard, about a mile
south of Roye. Heavy German
counterattacks were repulsed in this
region.
Between the Ailette and the Ainse
the French have repulsed German
counter-attacks and have advanced
their lines about three quarters of a
mile in the direct east of Bagneux.
This advance should bring General
Mangin's army nearly north of the
town of Juvingy, which appears to
be important from a defensive point
of view.
There is little indication, however,
that the German armies are demoral-
lied in the battle that is going on
from Arras to ;soissons. At every
point they seem to be fighting saw
ogely and to be compelling the Brit
ish and French t oextendthemselves
to the limit. This resistance seems
to be especially vigorous in the re-
gion of Crosilles and further north
between the Cojuel and Scarped riv-
er where the British attacked recent

mand, had just torpedoed a British
steamer, between Malta and Sicily.
The German. was waiting to see the
vessel sink when two French patrol
boats emerged from the fog and sank
the U-boat. Of the crew only one
officer and four men were rescued by
the boats.
While being taken to Toulon the
officer appeared i'll at ease. When he
thought no one was looking he tried
to throw some papers overheard, but
a sailor seized his arm. He refused
to answer questions but examina-
tion of the papers explained his un-
easiness..
Lo Journal asks if the man who
committed the "most vile, the most
barbarous and the most cowardly act
in the annals of war" is merely to be
sent to the prison camp.
A dispatch from Toulon Friday
which described the sinking of Ger
man submarine in the MEDITERRANEAN
patrol boats added that the mate of
the submarine attempted to commit
suicide when brought on board of
rescue ship. The man appeared to be
insane and is reported to have de-
clared that the U-boat had torpedoed
the Lusitania.

Will take up individually with the re-
personalities of other nations his gen
eral plan that in his opinion and In
the opinion of many leaders of world
thought, will end for all future time
wars between nations.
There are two sharply opposing ole
ments that are today very graveiy
threatening the success OF the peace
conference. First there is the open
and fragrant efforts Of the Germans
to stimulate pity for crushed nation
in the United States, France, Japar
and In South America in the eXpec
tation that such sympathy can Dc
capitalized at the peace table.
Another who influenced the Presi
dent was Premier Cleusnceau o
