GERMANS FEAR
REVOLUTION AFTER
WAR IS OVER
(By the Associated Press)


British Headquarters in France,
Aug. 21.-An order which was issued
by a German military commander,
and which is more Illuminating than
anything that has come out of Ger
many in many months, says:
ut has come to my knowledge
through letters sent to the royal
Prussian ministry of war that men on
leave have spoken publicly of revo-
luton which is to break out after
the war.
II wish to impress all superior
officers who happen to overhear such
objectional talk or hear of it through
others, that they must deal at once
and without hesitation. The home
authorities and director of military
railways are requested to take cor
responding measures"

ALLIED FRONT I
REDUCED OVER
FIFTY MILES
Thirty-Two Divisions Have
Now Arrived in France,
but More Ships Are Needed
Hun Positions Are 'Un-
healthy :
tBy the Associated Press)

Washington, Aug. 21.-As a result
of allied successes during the last
month, the battleS front in France
from Rheims to the North sea has
been reduced in length more than SO
miles, General March told newspaper
men today in his mid-week confer
ence. When the I Germans began
their last advance, the line stretched
for $50 miles. tits now less than
200 miles in length.
The success Of the enlarged pro-
gram of the war department, General
March said, still is dependent upon
requirement of adequate shipping ia
cifities, and while the emergency
feet corporation is constantly swell
ing the tonnage at the army's dis
posal, it is still necessary to charter
and hire many additional ships.
General March enumerated 80 Amer
ican divisions as having arrived in
France.
The chief of staff said that the
Thirty-seventh National Guard and
the Nintieth National Army, includ-
ing many Texans, reached France be-
tween July 80 and August 13, and
have been in training. The Nine
tieth, he said had not yet reached
the front line. Lacking official de-
|
tails of the British drive reported in
Associated Press dispatches, General
March declined to-comment on the
new thrust.
He said that during the period
which elapsed since his last talk
the Allies had continued to- attack
at widely separatedspoints. In Elan
ders, sthe pointed Out, the points OF
the salient which had existed there
have been bent in by the Allies
southeast of Meterin on the north
flank, and near Merville on the south
side. The apex was thus made "un.
healthy" for the enemy and he was
forced to withdraw from one to two
miles on a 14-mile front.

Would Destroy Fleet.

The dories carrying the crews of
the three vessels sunk arrived here
at 10 a. m. today. The fishermen
say that while coming into port they
heard firing and believe other ves-
sells had been sunk by the raider.
Captain Myrrhe, master Of the Tri-
umph, said he was told by the cap
tain of the U boat that he was only
one of six submarines operating on
this coast.

New Threat to German Line.

II the drive continues to press the
Germans back, the enemy forces
further south will be in serious
position. They are at present hold
ing back the French and British
along the west Of and parallel to the
Somme and north of that river have
been resisting allied attacks as far
north as Albert. The new advance
seems to have penetrated the north
ern section OF the enemy's front line.
In the Flanders battlefield the
Germans are also under heavy pres
sure. The British official report
states that during last night an at
tack was made from Festubert, just
north Of Lens, to the Lave river, q
distance of more than four miles.
The village Of LaTouret, at about the
middle OF the line, has been captured.
This marks an advance Of nearly q
mile at this point.
On the northern side of the Lys
salient the British made local at
tack over q mile front near Locre
this morning. The important Dra-
noutre ridge has been wrested from
the enemy and the Locre Hospice, q
group Of buildings which have been
the scene OF terrific fghting since
April, has been attacked.
Between the Aisne and the Disc
the French continued to advance this
morning. The progress made there
during, the past two days seems to
place TN jeopardy the German lines
east Of scissors and also about Noy-
on. According to the latest advices
the French now are on the high
ridge to the northwest Of Scissors.

TWO VICTIMS OF
RAILWAY ACCIDENT
DIE AT HOSPITAL
LIVES IN MIDLAND CONTINEN.
tai WRECK NEAR ASYLUM.

One of the sad results of the
caused slight washout on the Mid
land Continental track near the Asy-
lum spur, was the death that night of
both Engineer Luce and Fireman
Brackeen, who were scalded and
fatally burned by the overturning of
the engine. The train was the regu-
lar passenger coming from Edgeley
and was due here at 4.35 o'clock.
The train, approaching the city from
the south, ran into the heavy rain
storm which was falling over and
near the city, but which was not of
wide extent. South of the city for
few miles there was no indication Of
the intensity of the storm, which
was really cloudburst over the city
and immediate vicinity, and the en-
gineer was therefore not looking for
la washout, in all probability. The
washout was in small cut between
the asylum spur and the bridge
north, and cut out small portion of
the track This must have been seen
by the engineer and fireman, as the
train had almost come to stop when
the engine toppled over. A boxcar
went off the track, but no passenger
or trainman was hurt.
The unfortunate accident cast a
gloom over the community today.
Engineer r. H. Luce was we'll known,
also T. P. Brackeen, the fireman.
Both were married, Mr.. Brakeen
having a wife and two children, one
and two years old, also relatives in
the city, John Brackeen, brother,
and Mrs. A. L. Harper, a sister. A
brother, 10y, is in the army.
Engineer Luce leaves wife but no
children.
Both men were badly scalded
and suffered terribly. Mr.. BracEeen
was conscious at intervals and each
died at the Trinity hospital about
$50 p. M, death occurring only
about five minutes apart. Both vic
Tins we're beyond any chance of re-
covery, as the entire body of each
was terribly scalded.
Engineer Luce managed to extri
cate himself from the cab, but the
fireman was unable to do SO, and sew
eral passengers helped Mr.. Brackeen
out of the cab where he was pinned.
The gauge and steam valve burst,
which allowed the steam to escape,
and both were scalded with live
steam. No bones were broken. The
men were taken in an auto to the
hospital and were conscious and, it
is reported, conversed with DR.. Arzt
and others after the accident.
The funeral of Engineer Luce will
be held at Stanton, Mich, and his
wife will take the remains to that
place for burial today.
The funeral and burial of Mr..
Brackeen will be in this city. His
father has been wired and If he can
reach here Thursday the funeral will
be at that time.
The Northern Pacific wrecker was
secured today and proceeded to re-
place the Midland Continental en-
gine on the track.
Engineer Luce was one of the
Oldest and most valued employees of
the Midland company, having worked
with the road during its construction
period and about year ago returned
to the service of the company. He
was an experienced, careful engineer.
He formerly conducted the Mandan
hotel at Mandan, now run by Nels
Romer. There were. about fifteen or
sixteen passengers on the train.
