Paris, Aug. l0.-The German re-
tirement is under heavy pressure
from the French armies. BEHIND
Won Huter is country completely
devastated during the German evac-
uation in the spring OF l9/ ana
again overrun during the German
offensive in March OF this year. Inc
enemy has little opportunity Tor the
formation of a defensive line Tor an
army in full retreat.
In the vicinity of this battle vir-
tuallv every tree was felled by the
Germans. Between the lines now
being evacuated by Won Hutier and
tho Hindenburg line, eastward OF
Nesles and Ham, are old trench sys-
tens.
Further eastward, before the Hin
denburg line is reached are several
streams and the northern canal
where delaying actions might be
fought. For the present, however
il seems that the Germans will be
compelled to retire from the whole
territory which they gained in their
March offensive.

all their objectives it is possible the
enemy does not know where he was

1t is, therefore, inadvisable to dis

operating. 1t may be said, how
ever, that the British infantry and
tanks reached the points they in
tended to attain and this morning
they are holding consolidated lines
along the front. The allied forces

after taking Chipilly spur, have gone
on, driving the enemy before them. |
Numerous tanks and "whippets' as
sisted the advancing infantry to
smother the enemy's resistance.
Further south, the French ad-
rapidly and increased their
number OF prisoners as they
pushed their line forward. Last
night, British airplanes dropped

behind the German lines.

THE SEASIDE SANATORIUM
CRIPPLED CHILDREN.
tNew Haven Journal-courier.)

CNew Haven Jeurnal-Ceurier)
 There is q rumor emanating from Hartford that an attempt will be made to prevent the tuberculosis cemmis- sion from establishing the seaside sanitarium at Crescent Beach in the town of East Lyme, Just what form the attempt will take is not made clear. It is even more mystifying to understand how any attempt can be made successful in view of the fact that the commission has the deeds to the property. Obviously, the ob- lection tn the sanitarium is an emotional one There is absolutely no danger to be feared from the pro- posed institution from any standpoint whatsoever. On the other hand, there is every prospect that the institution will restore to health and a useful life large number of children who are now crippled by early stages of tuber- eulosis, Why people under these cir cumstances should want to obstruct work Of this character is beyond comprehension. It looks like the old question of letting George do it, who won't do it, while the little children, who can be made whole, are left to look out for themselves. A great many people seem to be very fond of children provided they do not get in the way. We can conceive of no state authority that will undertake to dis turb this splendid state charity. If certain people do not like it. there is always an alternative to which they can flee.

BUILDING MORE SHIPS.

Reports which are made to the ef- feet that the shipyards of the country turned out 2400e0 tons of shipping in tke past month indicate that they are hitting up the right pace and that it is not too much to anticipate the completion of 100000 tons of ves- sels in the present year.
 BAEeG solely upon the accomplish ments for April and the previous months this would hardly be justified, hu. ft Is evident that as time goes on the output Is more nearly coming up to expectation. As the year moves along greater results are being accom- nllahed and this is perhaps no better demonstrated than by what has been done dnzfng April where in the last farlulzht of the month the greatest slyidss of the year were displayed.

THE SEASIDE sANAToRiUM.
(New Haven Register,)


 It is difficult to understand the pro test being made against the establish ment by the tuberculosis commission, of the saside sanatorium at Crescent Beach. This sanatorium, it will be remembered, is planned for the treatment of children afflicted with bone or glandular tuberculosis, a dis ease which is not cantogious and which is entirely different from pull monary tuberculosis The commission has acquired the property. the deeds are on file. and now that the actual taking over of the buildings is in pros peet, the protest comes.
 Were ther any possibility of in lection or any disagreeable features connected with the proposed sanato rum at Crescent Beach, the reason for the protest which is now being raised would be apparent. The facts of the matter are substantially as fol- lows: It has been found that an al most certain cure for glandular and bone tuberculosis is sunlight-as much as can be found. The best places for exposure to sunlight are the mountaintCps and the seashore. Connecticut has no mountain tops above cloud level, but has more than hundred miles of sea beach, with the best exposure of all-the southern. It is estimated that the sanatorium would help in time to restore to health the majority Of the 2,500 children in the state afflicted with one or the other variety Of the disease, and restore them not Galy to happiness, but to a place as valued members Of the com munity Aside from the sentimental appeal, the economic value of the san +o,,3 laln grounds.
 Alter years of appeal to the legis- laturo of the state. the tuberculosis con nmissien has finally succeeded in obtaining funds to build this sanate- rium. When the project is about to be launched arises q protest which is understood to come from the sum mer residents, who are at Crescent Beach at the most twelve weeks of the year Their objection to the es- tablishment Of the sanatorium there cannot be on the score of danger to their own health for the cases are of a non contagious nature. It. cam not be on economic grounds the cure will change those treated there from | burdens on society into valuable mem beps able to earn their own living. Ii cannot be that the objeetors make l tflGlT USCduS0 they QO IlO wish to have children around theii community. Those who object nigh consult any resident of the city ot Norwich. where there was a strenu- eus objection to the establishment oi a children's sanatorium some year; | ago. The objections raised were sin 1 liar to those now heinz raised at Cres, 1 cent Beach, Today no one in Norwich remembers why he objected.

- ACTION IS GREATLY NEE9EI

Developments which have taken place in the last few days demon strate most clearly that this couG- try cannot be too active in running town, tnterning or punishing those who are and have been engaged in pfe-German work in this country. Only at this late date are we becem- ing thoroughly familiar with the net york of spies which Germany spread throughout the United States even while this nation was holding strictI,. 10 neutrality. Germany was profit ing then from the efforts which were directed by BeFnstorff and his under- studies to a much greater degree than We realized, The revelations of q lieutenant commander in the German navy which have. just been made, show how advantage was being taken of this country, but there are equally good reasons to believe that as great if not greater. efforts have been made since to continue such activity even after the Tinted States was forced into the war
 The lsniency which this country has eAnNn and what 1t could be ex= pected to continue to show, it's lack of laws to properly punish such people and the inclination to overlook many th'ncs that were serious and intended to be. encouraged the continuation of 1uah work. There was nothing in the punishments handed out to cause se- rious consideration of the penalty be- fore engaging in such efforts and even many in high places today are up- holding the acts and crimes of the enemy. These should have been ef- Actively stopped long time ago, but what is more apparent they should not be given the least toleration now Action, however. of the right kind is the only thing that will stop them.
