Member Of the United States Marine
Corps Loses Hat Containing Fur
lOugh Papers From Train
VIII Have TO Make
Explanation.

G. NJ. Fisher, of Huntington, w. Va,
a member of the United States Marine
Corps may have hard time explain
ing why he does not have his furlough
papers on his person If he is taken up
by the officers in any city within the
next few days and he will also have
to pay full fare on the railroads in
his travels
Young Fisher travelling on fast c..
& o. train Number Three, was unable
to get seat and went out on the
platform of the car where he sat on
the step. The train was travelling at
a pretty good rate of speed just west
of Manchester when his hat blew off
onto the track In his hat there was
eighteen dollars in money, his fur
Tough and his certificate upen which
he was entitled to reduced railroad
fare,
Upon arriving at Maysville he re-
ported the matter to the railroad au-
thorities and they at once got into
communication with the railroad men
at Manchester, A search was made
and the hat was found alons
side the railroad tracks but someone
else had found the hat first and the
money and papers were missing.
Fisher continued on his trip to Gin
cinnati.

For Appearance Monday Az

The case of Edward Byron, four

The Crise river has been crossed
along the whole of its front, further
progress has been made in the center
of the fighting line and on the east
the Allied line has been pushed more
than three miles north of the Dor
mans-Rheims road.
With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front, August 2-Anoth-
er jump forward was made today by
the French and Americans on the Ais
ne-Marne front. From one to two
miles were gained. and with almost
no fighting.
At few places there were sharp
encounters, but they were nothing
as compared with the terrible en-
gagements that previously had bee:'
fought or what was expected.
The French cavalry operated near
Dravengy, about 21a miles north of
Coulonges, with the American infan-
try close behind while another de-
tachment of mounted French troops
opened the way a short distance to
the west, with French infantry and
American foot troops close up.
The penetration by the French and
Americans to the region of Dravegny
would-place them only a scant eight
miles southeast of Fismes.
Occasional bursts of machine gun
fire challenged the advancing line,
but it was apparently early in the
movement that the Germans had gone
The stiffest fighting encountered by
the Americans was in a little piece of
ground east of Chamery, where, ac-
cording to the German newspapers,
the body of Lieutenant Quentin Roose-
welt was buried after his airpIane had
been brought down early in the pres
ent operations.
Through wheat fields and over
wooded trails soaked with the rain
that fell almost all day, the Americans
moved slowly and cautiously, but al
most continuously, over farms and
past villages, among them Coulonges
and Cohan. To the westward another
force of Americans also was moving
steadily through and around the
Nesles wood and the rolling country
east of the woods To both the east
and west of that part of the line held
by the Americans and French were
meeting with similar success.
Few prisoners were taken during
the day, but one of them, captain,
admitted that the German artillery
had been withdrawn. His story tended
to confirm the stories of other men
captured, that the Germans were de-
termined to make their next big stand
on the Nesle, and not the Ardre; and
that their movements under way in
dicated the fortifying of Fismes as
the center of the next fixed line OF
battle.
Although the enemy's retreat on the
whole has been successful and he has
succeeded thus far in eXtricating the
greater portions of his armies from
the salient, observers have witnessed
conditions which they believe indi-
Gates that the Germans are moving
more hastily than they desire. Huge
clouds of smoke and dull explosions
have come from st. Gille, on the
Are, short distance south of Fis-
mes, and other places nearer the AL
lied front. These told of the destruc-
ton of big ammunition dumps. Fires
also are visible at eight or ten places
even as far as Fismes. That they had
been started by the Germans seems
obvious, since no Allied shells had
reached these places during the day.

AMERICANS ON
\ HEELS OF HUNS
AS They FLEE
Enemy Being Forced Out Of Positions
and Given Push on Way TO Berlin
according 10 Kultur Towns
Are Burned.

Washington, August 2-The col
lapse of the German defensive posi-
tions just north of the 0urcq, forced
by the dash of American troops in the
center and the brilliant French and
British flank operations which fol-
lowed, is sweeping the enemy swift
ly back out of the -Marne sal
lent. The rush forward today came
so swiftly that 1t was difficult for
army officials here to appraise the
full extent of the victory. As the sit
uation stood, according to reports late
tonight, however, there was strong
possibility that the Germans would
be unable to hold the Vesle line to-
ward which they are fastening and
would be driven to the heights north
of the Aisne.
Tonight's official report from Paris
carried the most startling message
from the battle field in several days.
scissors, the key of the German right
flank in the whole Aisne- Marne posi-
tion was again in French hands. At
the same time. the brief announce
ment that Thrillois west of Rheims,
had been taken, showed that the jaws
of the great trap created by General
Foch at last had begun to close.
The French were forced out of the
city, the largest on that sector of
the front, in the first German assault
on the Chemin Des Danes last May
Its capture by the enemy was long
stride or the road to Paris, a stride
that was in fact definitely checked
only when the Germans met American
French, Americans and British troops
northwest of Chateau Thierry weeks
later and were halted in their tracks
and hurled back. To many officials
here, the little stretch of line where
the first two American divisions came
into action below the Vil-lers-Cot-
terets forest will mark the German
highwater mark.
OF greater military significance in
tonights report however, is the ad-
vance of the other jaw of the trap at
Thrilloise. This was taken to mean
the French arc pushing into the north
and west of Rheims, an advance that
may well serve to force the enemy to
continue his hurried withdrawal to
the Aisne without a chance to stand
along the Vesle. The left flank of his
line at the Vesle is in danger of be-
ing turned before his forces south
of that river reach it.
II the advance of the French on this
line continues, it may we'll become a
race for the Aisne with the enemy
in a desperate attempt to get his
forces into line beyond the river be-
fore they are cut off. The picture of a
struggle to the death between the two
armies drawn by General March re-
Gently. is being revised sharply.
The greatest value seen by many
officials in all that has happened since
the counter blow was launched is that
a PRECEDENT of victory on the western
front has been established 1t has
been fully demonstrated already that
the enemy can be fought Extensively
and there are many signs that his
punishment is just beginning. Gen
eral Foch holds the initiative firmly
and is master of the situation. He can
choose now the time and place to
fight.
