HAD LAUGH ON GERMAN SPY
How Charles NJ. sehwab Made q
Monkey Out Of EmIssary Of
Of Kaiser.

Charles NJ. Schwab had an adven.
ture with German spy" said Phil
adelphia editor, "a short time before
we entered the war.
"Mr. Schwab went out to Chicago
on some munitions business. and the
spy logged him like a shadow all the
way-dogged him all over the Windy
city, too.
zone evening, to fool the fellow, Mr..
Schwab wrote some fake kilograms in
the hotel library, and then he tore
couple Of the kilograms up. scattered
them on the floor and hurried from
the room.
''The spy, who was. Of course. right,
on the job, didn't follow him out right
away. That was what he had expect
ed. and 20 after bit he stole back on
uptoe to take Mr.. Spy by surprise.
'What he saw made him smile. The
spy was down on his hands and knees
gathering up and putting together the
torn bits of fake telegram.
"Mr. Schwab, standing in the door
way, gave a loud laugh. Then he
said:
"Boy Ed. or Won Papen. or what
ever your name is. I'm pleased to see
that you Germans care more about

FRENCH LAUNCH NEW ATTACK
BETWEEN MATT AND oIsE
RIVERS.
ALLIES HOLD GROUND
HUNS TRYING TO SAVE SELVES
FROM POCKET ON SOUTH OF

Paris, Aug. 1.-THE French re-
sumed the offensive Tuesday between
the Matz and Disc rivers, making
progress to the north and east of Curry
and thereby increasing the menace to
the Germans at Lassigny, according
to the war office statement. Strong
enemy resistance was unavailing to
stop the attackers.
The strength of the German Opposi-
ton from Immediately north of the
Somme river to the river just below
Roye, apparently has checked the east
ward march of the allied troops, Ger
man resistance has not prevented the
French on the extreme southern end
of the line from winning additional
points of great strategic value in the
hill and forest region between the
Disc and the Matz, where Lassigny
and Noyon are the ultimate detectives.
The capture of these places would
result probably in the forced evacua-
ton by the Germans of the Noyon-
Roye-Chaulnes line, and would have q
marked effect on the battle line run
ming southeastward past SoisGons and
thence along the Vesle river.
The battle line in the north and
on the center remains virtually as it
stood Monday. although all the allied
troops have bettered their stands
slightly and taken additional prison
ers. The Americans and French at
last accounts were in the environs of
Bray, north of the river, while south
of the. river the Germans continued in
possession of Chaulnes and Roye,
which seemingly they intend to de-
fend at all hazards.
Notwithstanding the enemy's ef-
forts, Chaulnes is receiving a mighty
visitation Of shells from the allied
guns, and Roye has been SO en-
croached upon that 1t is now under
heavy cross-fire from both the north
and south, and seemingly both towns
ultimately must be evacuated.
