WAR SUMMARY

Sea and Rheims, however, ant
would be likely to force the evacua'
tion of a great part OF northern
France now occupied by the Ger
mans.
Operations by the French and
Americans in the south may be
counted on to work toward such a
result. There is a hint in today
dispatches that some development oil
importance is impending on the
southern front, where the LETT flank
of the Hindenburg line is under
Franco-American pressure.
Strongholds vital to the German
defense in northern France which
they sought to hold with large re-
serve forces. rushed forward at the
last moment, have fallen before the
rapidly advancing British forces,
Driving through the Drocourt-
Queant line. English and Canadian
troops are pushing the Germans be-
fore them in the greatest battle OF
the present offensive and one OF the
most important contests OF the war.
The English have driven wedge
into the German lines with the tax
ing OF Eperpigny and strongly fortl-
fed enemy positions northeast OF
that town. The Douai plains spread
out before the invaders with no nat
ural defenses to overcome such as
have been surmounted in reaching
their present line. In the same sec
tor of the south, English and Scot
fish troops are advancing with
Queant as their immediate goal, cap
turing many towns and villages in
Guiding Noreauil.
Thousands of prisoners passing to
the rear testify to the superiority OF
the British attack, The variety and
number OF units represented by them
indicate the haste with which Ger
mans rushed reiniorcements to the
battle in an effort to stave of the
disaster OF completely broken line
in the defenSes protecting the cities
OF Douai and Cambria. These cities
ii taken by Field Marshal Haig
would deprive the Germans OF two
OF their most important bases OF sup
plies in northern France.
On the Lys front. the British
forces continue to gain ground in
the direction OF Estaires. Here, it
seems probable that the Germans
plan to fall back to a line through
Armentieres with the defenseS OF the
Hindenburg line in their rear. which
the British must break through be-
fore reaching Lille.
On the French section OF the long
battle line, the Germans are in re-
tirement northeast OF Soissons. The
entire Scissors plateau is now in
the hands of the Franco-American
troops under command OF General
Mangin. The French are advancing
in the direction above Vauxaillon
where late reports state that the
Germans were burning ammunition
dumps preparatory to a further re-
tirement, probably to Chemin des
Danes. As the latter place is also
menaced bv the French advance, to-
dard Vauxailon, a still further re-
treat by the Germans is anticipated.
The advance north Of scissors,
which started six days ago, has been
one OF the most stubborn battles in
which American forces have yet
been engaged.

ways and means committee, the
American people will pay in taxes

for amendment from the state, es-
timating that it can be passed by the
house and sent to the senate within
ten days.
In the meantime, the house is eX-
pected to finish the water power bill,
unless the war time prohibition
measure pending in the senate inter-
venes. Mr.. Kitchin said unless the
prohibition bill is ready for the
house by Thursday, it would go
over until after the passage of the
revenue bill.
Hearings of the senate commit
tee on the bill, Chairman Simmons
today, will begin next
Friday. instead OF Thursday.
Senator Simmons said every effort
would be made to complete the
legislature before the November
electlOns.

The cases in police court against

Liberty Bond. Puryear said he bit
Harrel with his fict and that HA,
rell iell and cut his head on 4 gas
heater. Harrell said, Puryear hit
him with a six shooter. The evidence
showed that they had two half-pints
OF whisky and had been drinking.
llarrel maintained he had bought
one half-pint from Puryear and gave
him his check for $3.50 Puryear
denied this and said three of them
Clipped in and bought the whisky
from the negro porter, sending him
out for it, and they did not know

Puryear has caused state cases to be
begun against Puryear for selling

(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated PreSs)
On a front of virtually fifty miles
from Just below Ypres to a point
near Peronen on the Somme, the
| German armies are in retreat.
This retrograde movement is not
voluntary one on the part OF the
enemy but has been forced by the
series OF unremitting hammer blows
inflicted by Marshal Foch in the
past six or seven weeks. 1t has now
been accelerated by the notable vic
tory won by Field Marshal Haig yes
terday in breaking through the
strong defensive lines protecting the
railway centers OF Douai and Cam
brai, and threatening to outflank
even the main Hindenburg line south
OF St. Quentin. Already the taking
of 10000 prisoners by the British in
their advance is reported and the
German casualties in killed and
wounded are declared to have been
notably heavy as their thickly massed
forces felt the force OF the British
blow.
SO pronounced and so speedy is
the German retirement that it seems
as ii the enemy, ii he has not met
with disaster, is perilously on the
verge of one.
In what appears like an effort to
escape in time. the German retire
ment, which had been proceeding
somewhat leisurely both north and
south of the Somme, has been mar
kedly accentuated north OF that
river.
In this movement, the important
French coal mining city of Lens, at
the gates of which the British
pounded vainly virtually all last year
ha, been evacuated, the British NOV
ing in.
To the north, in Flanders, the re-
treat is continuing, and the British
have further closed up the Lys
salient by taking possession OF Wul-
yerghem, two miles south OF KEN
mel.
NOlllll VI Lens iIC NlNl mans dP
parently are acknowledging them
selves beaten on the Queant-Dro-
court line, where Haig's break
through was effected, and are re-
treating in this vitality important sec
tor without attempting a counter
drive upon the victorious British.
Still further south the retirement
has resulted in the evacuation OF
areas three to four miles deep on
both sides OF the Bapaume-Cambrai
road, the British taking town after
town in this area in their steady ad-
vanCt
Although the German command
must have been expecting an attack
on the Hindenburg swith line,
which the British had closely ap-
preached in their earlier advances,
it apparently was not expected at the
moment. The Germans seem to have
been surprised at the quickness with
which Haig's Canadians and other
British forces, after fighting their
way up to the line, organized a
vrushing advance against itself. This
morning. along the twenty miles
front where the British are mainly
engaged, they are reported to have
advanced no less than maximum
OF four miles. This seems to en-
phasize the clearness OF the break
of the line and with the large cap
ture OF prisoners point to the de-
moralization OF the German forces
in this area.
1t cannot be estimated with any
degree of accuracy what effect the
present big drive OF the allies may
produce. The fall of
Douai and Cambria. which now ap-
pears not improbable in the near fu-
ture, would put the entire German
line out OF joint between the North
