American Thrust Most Important.


According to the experts who went
over the situation in the absence OF
General March, the movement that is
attracting most ,attention is that of
the American east = Cnavigny and
Juvigny. The conditions of forward
thrust have been radically changed
here in favor of the Americans. They
are able to follow the Germans on the
pl .eau running approximately east
from their furtherest salient because
of the brilliant, steady advance Of
other Americans units operating in the
region of Fismes ana Fismette. It is
predicted that the Germans, having
failed. to. move the Americans from
the Fismes sector, no,~ will be obliged
to yield daily to the American thrust
along the p,', eau ano :aiiey extend
ing eastward from Chauvigny.
With the French storming sI-yay at
the German center near NOyOn and
the British doggedly pushing on over
the Hindenburg line and now deflect-

interest must be concentrated on the

most acute front from the British

American battle front all the way
from the Fismes sector to the Juvig-
ny-Chavigny salient, with the French
plunging ahead against the center of
the German retreat.

Reserves Used Up.

Washington, Aug 31.-Ultimahely
the Americans and their European al

via the valleys of the Moselle and

THE seemingly irristible thrusts
Of the Americans and the French east
OF the Chavigny-Juyigny front is to
be continued on the high ground they
hold and probably will be the first
operation to turn the left of the Ger

The German army is not able to

whole German army til-t is being

eral armies which are urged on by
the impetus and spirit of unchecked
success.
Official intimation came from Gen.
eral March today that there will be
soon somewhere on the great battle
line all-Ameriosn field armies and
groups OF armies.
These are the salient points Of view
of the continuous battie which is rag

against the advance OF the Americans
from Chavigny and Juvigny.

The deliberate Judgment OF stat
Officers today is that nothing can
now prevent the roiling mp OF the
German wings. The point is made
by these authorities. who talk rom

crown prince nor Prince Rupprec2t
now has the ability to throw any
great masses of troops at any point
against the general advance toward

which seems to throw flood of light

German point of view, has not been
made before, because it is only with
in the past few days. that it has be-

it rained almost steady for As hours
and turned cold as thunder, every

You asked me once up on time to
tell you all about this branch of the

it. The Medical Dept. consists Of
Ambulance Company Field Hospital
Evacuation Hospital, Base Hospital,

and etc outside of that there is a
detachment Of Medical men attached
to every division Of fighting men they
go over the top with the infantry, are
right in the charge with the Cavalry
and so on but instead of gun they
carry a litter and it is their duty to
gather up the wounded and carry
them off the field to emergency dress
ing station near the front line Am

and pass them on to Field Hospital
which are really emergency Hospital
and are located as near the front as
possible they turn them over TO Eva
cnation Ambulance Company who
pass them along to Evacuation Hos
pital which are sort of clearing
houses for Field Hospitals, are located
(when possible) or rail roads or ndvig-
able streams and are equipped to give
more extensive treatment, from here
they are passed on by Hospital train
or boat'to Base Hospital whiCh are
located outside the danger zone and
are still better equipped. from here
all that require long treatm ent or
are permanently disabled are sent to
the home country, the idea is 10 keep
them moving to the rear, get the n
back into service as fast as possible.
BESIDES the Hospital they have dress
ing stations along the line where they
take care of the slightly wounded
keeping the Hospital for the more
serious cases and keeping the men as
near the front as possible So they
don't get too far from their company.
We train with stretchers instead Of
guns, are taught first aid stuff and
equipped with belt containing ali
kinds of bandages dressings and etc.

MANY PRISONERS HELD
 IN SIBERIAN PRISONS

TOKIO.-There are 17,0OO Aus trian and German prisoners in Si- berian camps, says semi-official announcement. Besides many who deserted the concentration camps when the Bolsheviki gained the poli- tical control in Russia have not re- turned.
 It is said to be certain that the majority of the prisoners in these places participated in the battles with the Bolsheviki against the Allied forces and the Czechs, and returned to their camps when they found themselves beaten. They are now assuming an uncertain attitude to- ward the Allied campaign in Siberia.

RUSSIA URREADY
 FOR STABLE RULE
 ASSERTS YANKEE

STOCKHOLM.-If any nation or outside leader attempts to set up stable government in Russia they doubtless will find the mercurial Russians difficult lot to satisfy. They have plenty of ideas and opin- ions but lack action.
 "The trouble with Russians is that they believe opinions are achievements" recently said prom inent American who is familiar with Russian affairs. This certainly characterizes many of the Russians who are now waiting in Scandinavia for something to happen in Russia. They are criticizing the Allies for failure to act more speedily in Russia.
 Their changeableness is surpris- ing. The very leaders who were loudest in denouncing the Brest peace treaty were soon hobnobbing with the Germans. Paul Milukoff and other leaders of the extreme right, who had pretended great friendship for the Entente, turned 1 to the Germans in an effort to es- ; tablish under their protection a monarchy which would father the policies of the Constitutional Demo cratic party.
 When it became evident that the Germans would not enter Northern Russia in large numbers and set up to that of Skoropadsky in the Uk- raine, bourgeoise leaders who had turned from the Entente to Ger many, again became friendly toward the Entente and less critical of the failure of the English, French and -AiilC1 II dIS lO ctllcI IkuSSid III large
 numbers and overthrow the existing
 government. Entente successes or the Western front and Entente sup
 port of the Czechs in their pheno.
 menal campaigns against the Bol sheviki further softened the hearts of Russian leaders of the extreme
 right. But diplomats of the Entente ! powers stationed in Russia were not deceived by chameleon-like Russian l leaders whose aim seems to be the establishment of class government The action of the Entente in re fusing support of the Horvath gov,
 emmett in Siberia indicates clearly the decision of the Entente to stand
 aloof from class and party move ments and give the great mass of Russians chance to work out theil
 will by democratic means.

NOTED SCULPTOR

l am willing to do anything" The foregoing remark was addressed to an employment interviewer recently at the Hog Island shipyard, the speaker, an overall clad man of middle age carrying under his arm a newspaper wrapped package, evi- nently his lunch. The mans face however, belied his attire as lab orer. It was one of refinement and exceptional intelligence.
 What are your qualifications what can you do?" the interviewer asked.
 ''I am a stone cutter and have worked at the trade nearly all my life,' the applicant replied.
 The interviewer did not reply i'm mediately. He was looking at the hand which rested or his desk. It was long, slim and with tapering fingers, the nails neatly manicured and in appearance as soft as a woman's.
 'I am sorry, but we have no posi- tions open for stone cutters at this time,' the interviewer said.
 Then can you use a tracer?" the applicant persisted. II really have few superiors in that line" Tracers were badly needed, an affirmative reply was given, the ap- plicant was accepted and put to work.
 The foregoing in brief is story of how Frederick F.. Triebell, a noted American sculptor was added to the force of employees of Amer ica's greatest ship yard and as, signed to desk in the hull fabri. cation department Work repre- senting thousands of dollars lies neglected in his studio at Long Point, Long Island, but he is happy for he is doing something to aic his country.
 Previous efforts of Mir. Triebel to get into war work were un availing, principally because of his age-fifty two years. He tried fol the camouflage service, for duty as an interpreter, the army intelligence and finally with the Y. M. C. A for army hut work in Italy.
 In the latter attempt he prog ressed satisfactory until he applied to the Italian consul for a passport when he was told to go back to his work, the consul declining to have part in sending into the danger of the battle line a man of his talents. "Go back to your studio the Italian consul is quoted as say ing; "take up your mallet and chise and make beautiful things so tha the world may smile and be happy when the war is over"
 Determined in his efforts to entel war work he attired himself in labor CTS clothes, journeyed to Hog Island and applied for position with re suits as stated.
 Mir Triebell is a native of Peoria Ill. Among his works are Myster ious Music, exhibited at the World Columbian Exposition in 1893, ant purchased by the Japanese govern ment for the Imperial Museum a Tokio; Defense of the Flag, sol dier's monument erected at Peoria , Ill.,; the statue of Robert G.
