money was gained by the methods employed in playing auto-poker, not through any real brightness on the part of the boy, but simply because. in his turn, the figures in the license number happened to bring luck his way.
 However, boys seen on street cor ners watching approaching automo- piles, are not necessarily playing "aI. tto poker" Another manner in which groups of boys while away their time, is to see if they can de- termine the make of a car by the sound of the engine, or by it's appear ance as it approaches them. Out of 100 passing autos, one boy recently guessed the correct names of 85 cars, which is considered quite remarkable. This was done before the cars were near enough for him to see the name plates. Different from auto poker, this pastime requires considerable in telligence, especially along automobile lines, and is more difficult to play, as very few persons know the appear ance of the various makes of cars, they are so numerous. Most people are familiar with the Ford car, and the sound of the engine, but the more eXDSIlSlNC hlOdSlS ttI6 lOI So commonly known.
 Tn playing auto-poker, the boys feel that they are getting around the law on gambling. They have abso- lutely no evidence about them that could prove that they are playing for money. yet large sums are accumu-
 lated in this manner every day and it has become a steady habit with many The habit is a pleasant one for the steady winner but he who is constantly losing, soon tires of the game and gradually drops out. l The other day ''youngster" about 1 four years old, rushed out onto the
 sidewalk in front of his home, anG | shouted as an automobile went by, "l l got two twos," holding up two fingers 1 as he said it. He had the habit, no 1 as the older boys have it. but simply i because those around him have beer constantly playing the game and he l caught the idea.

The importance of the American advance in Belleau is not indicated by the amount of territory captured as that only amounts apDrcXimatelv to 800 square yards. The new positions of the Americans. however, dominated the ridge beyond so that they now hold the upper hand.
 Another German officer, arrogant and sarcastic, remarked:
 We are just starting with the Americans. We are going to wipe out whole divisions as if they were con- panies.''
 The German privates were less arrO- gant, and apparently were glad they we're captured. One declared that the Germans were surprised at the Amer jeans. who appeared so young but fought like devils when they got start ed. Another declared:
 'The war will soon be ended. There are too many Americans coming to Europe"
 This prisoner was a Prussian, who fought on the Russian front. He con fessed that the Germans were prepar- ing to attack the Americans in Belleau Wood when the American troops start ed their attack It was a surprise affair. The Americans came one way, and the German officers tried to force their men forward the other way. This prisoner was shot in the leg by his own officer because he hesitated con- fusedly between the American guns and bayOnets. and the pistols in the hands of the German officers.
 Raymond s. Howell, of Barnesville Ohio, who was in the first line of the advance, describing tine operation. said:
 We tc0k up position in the open wood; there were no trenches. The Germans opened a heavy fire. and shell fell around us like rain We charged over the rocky hill our fel- lows laughing and yelling a war whoop. We then came up cn a wheat field and crossed in the face of a whitening shell and machine gun fire. and drove back the Germans at the point of bayOnet
 Tt was a wonderful sight The Americans never hesitated and the sounds Of their shouts and whoops were almost drowned by the Germans cries of 'kamerad

ITALIANS V|EINC
 WITH AMERICANS
 FOR GREAT GLORY
Have Been Engaged in Clean ing Up Piave Battle Front and Adding to Prisoners Taken in Counter Attack

While the Italians have been busily engaged in cleaning up the Piave bat i tie front. gathering together the spells of war and making struggling Austrian prisoners, the the American troops stationed in tine Belleau Wood north west of Chateau Thierry have been devoting their time to showing the Germans again the fighting timber O. which they are made.
 In the demonstration the Americans gained control of the wood in its en- tirety. advanced their positions ma teI'ially northwest of the wood and made prisoners Of 264 of the enemy. in addition to inflicting heavy losses in men killed or wounded.
 The attack was launched Tuesday night with the purpose of driving out the few remaining nests of Germans in the wOOd-nests from which enemy parties constantly were haTrassing the Americans II followed 2 hurricane of artillery fire. the intensity of which stunned even those of the Germans who previously had gone through the terrific drum fires of the British and French The hammering of the guns was kept up for thirteen hours before the infantry set out to accomplish it's task, and the havoc wrought by the American shells, many of them of high explosives, was evident from the num- Der of enemy dead strewing the ground and the state of general de- molition that prevailed
 The capture of Belleau Wood is of considerable strategic importance, ow- ing to the fact that from it the Ger mans had been able to rake the allied positions on all sides of it with their artillery. Its eastern and northern edges also command the railroad be- hind the German lines running to Chateau Thierry.
 All the positions still held by the Austrians on the lower Piave, cOnsti- tuting the Capo Sile bridgehead, have now been taken by the Italians, and the entire western bank of the Piave is clear of the enemy. Nearly 400 prisoners were taken in the enter prise. Aside from this fighting there has been little activity in the southern section O. the Italian theater. Seem- insly the chase of the enemy on the eastern bank Of the Piave has ended, at least for the time being. In the mountains heavy bombardments are in progress in various sectors, and intensive aerial operations are going on along the entire front. The Rome war office re-asseTts that all the ar tillery lost by the Italians to the Aus trians in the initial stage of the fight ing has been recaptured.
 On the battle front in France and Flanders the operations continue of a minor character. The British, both in Flanders and Picardy, have carried out successfully attacks against the Ger mans and taken further prisoners and machine guns. Likewise the French northwest Of MOntdidier have raided
