ment, Allies and the General
Public.

Washington, Sept. 10. - DR.. Gar
field, fuel administrator, announced
that he expects soon to tx price for
gasoline for domestic consumers, az
well as the government and the Allies,

ket price. He Is awaiting further re-
ports on the situation before taking
definite action.
No intimation was made as to what
the fixed price would be. .
DR.. Garfield's announcement dis.
closed that for. some time considers
tion had been given the problem Of
bringing the price of gasoline to .
lower level. Several reports already
have been made to Mark L. ReQua,
director of the oil division of the fuel
naturalization, and 1t was the intima.
ton that on completion Of the investi.
CATION now being conducted. immedi.
ate action would be taken.
Disclosure Of DR.. Garheld's purpose
came during an informal talk with
newspaper correspondents, in which
the stocks of gasoline in the country
and the stated shortage east Of the
Mississippi river, which caused the
administration to request that no pas
sepger automobiles be operated on
Sundays In that section were dis.
cussed.
Dr.. Garfield would not discuss re-
quests that this request was based on
information furnished the administers
ton by the oil industry for the alleged
purpose of maintaining the present
price of gasoline In the face of a re-
parted large supply in the country.

With the American Army on the

Vesle in force, advanced at certain
points on a curved line from Glennes
to Vieil-Arcy. The attack was pre-
coded by a heavy artillery lombard
ment.
From the plateau the Americans
took up positions in the ravines which
drain northward, but the advance was
necessarily cautious, owing to the
commanding position Of La Petite
Montague, which is the highest point
in that region.
The American and French artillery
bombarded this mountain, where the
Germans had built strong emplace'
ments for heavy machine guns and
also kept up q continuous fire upon
all points where the German artillery
had been endeav0riug to hold back the
advancing infantry.
The principal resistance with which
the Americans had to contend came
from the region of La Petite Mon.

observers reported there were from
30 to 40 machine gun nests entrenched
on the summit Of the hill. On the other
hills to the south of the Aisne the
German machine gunners had taken
the positions, and with snipers at var.
ious points caused some annoyance.

The Germans threw shells into
Fismes, Bazochese, Blanzy and other
places in an effort to check the Allied

There was a strong direct and indi.

American Headquarters Between the
Ailette and the Aisne, Sept. 10.-The
French and American troops have
evidently reached line beyond which
the enemy considers they cannot be
allowed TO advance with safety to his
defenses, and he has thrown himself
against this new line with an energy
which discloses the arrival of fresh
troops.
They are also beginning to reveal an
abundance Of artillery of all calibers,
which has been concentrated on this
chief danger spot in his line-the outer
defenses of the st. Gobain massif.

Foe Still Retreats In Flanders.

London, Sept. 10. - The Germans
have markedly stinened their resist
ance against the Allied armies from
the region of Arras to Rheims, but
their efforts to ward of further en-
croachwents into the territory they
are holding have failed. 49,.
All along the front the German big
guns are in action, while machine
guns in vast numbers are being placed
in strategic positions, which the Allies
are endeavoring to gain.
Nevertheless the British have dug
more deeply into the sector southwest
Of Cambria, capturing important posi-
tons in the four-mile front between
the Havrincourt wood and Piezieres
regaining their old trench positions
dominating Gouzeaucourt and captur'
ing Gouzeaucourt wood.
French Nearer ST. Quentin.
To the south the French are only q
short distance west of st. Quentin and
are at the gates of La Fere. On this
last named sector the French daily are
charging their turning movement
against the St. Gobian forest, the con.
quest Of which would remove the
greater barrier to an Allied advance
in force eastward toward La0n In an
outhanking movement against both the

London, Sept. 10. - The British
forces, after pausing for several days
along the line west and northwest Of
Cambria, where the Germans settled
themselves behind the Canal du Nord.
are reported attacking q section Of
this line in considerable strength.
:! What is unofficially described as q
formidable thrust" was developed by
Hold Marshal Sir Douglas Haig'a
forces along the Arras-Cambrai road,
which crosses the canal about six
miles from the outskirts Of Cambrai.
Whether this will prove to be the ex-
pected attack to break the canal line
or merely q reconnaissance in force,
however, remains to be developed.
British Menace St. Quentin.
1t il definitely reported. however.
that on the line to the south tho Brit
ish are pressing forward toward st.
Quentin. where the German retreat
has been slowest and accompanied BY
the greatest resistance.
Successes also have been scored BY
the French in the st. Quentin region,
where their line joins the British.
There have been indications that the
Germans intended making q stand
along the Crozat canal, defending the
stronghold of La Fere, the principal
outlying protection Of the st. Gobain
massif on the north.
Frustrated by French.
This plan appears already to have
been frustrated by the French, how
ever, a crossing of the canal oppo-
site Liez, about three miles northwest
of La Fere, having been forced last
night by General Petain's forces.
Elsewhere the French are right up
to, the Crozat position along virtually
the entire length Of the canal with
their infantry only four miles from
St. Quentin and their cavalry patrols
hard upon La Fere.
