Selby's army, assembled at Harrods-

On the outskirts Of the town named,

Notwithstanding the fact that the
aermans have powerfully strengthened
.heir battle line running across the
Soissons- Rheims salient with addition
l fresh reserves and have stubbornly
disputed further passage northward to
the entente allied troops, the enemy
front has been compelled to bend back
appreciably on all side of the salient,
except at the anchor points resting
Immediately on Scissors and Rheims.
South Of scissors further wedges have
been driven eastward into the enemy
front down to the OurcQ river. East
ward along the Ourcq French and
American troops have crossed the
stream at various points and advanced
their line well to the northward, while
southwest Of Rheims the allies have
debouched from the wooded sectors
and gained the plains, Notwithstanding
the violence of the enemy's counter
maneuvers. At some points the Ger
mans succeeded somewhat in checking
the forward movement, but nowhere
were they able to bring 1t to stand
still. The retirement Of the Germans
still remains orderly, but everywhere
the allied troops. and especially the
Americans near Fere-en-Tardenois,a are
pressing them hard. Particularly bit
ter fighting has taken place around
Fere-en-Tardenois and at Sergy, both
Of which towns are now well in the
hands of the French and Americans.
At Sergy the Germans paid the Ameri-
cans the compliment of reinforcing
their battle line with two divisions Of
well tried Bavarian troops, men whose
ourage previously has been tested
when the tide of battle was going
against the Germans.
1t was an effort either to destroy
The Americans or to herd them back
across the Ourcq. The effort resulted
In failure.
The French are on the north bank
of the Ourcq and to the east they have
secured the whole road between
Rheims and Dormans. The Germans
are stubbornly resisting and are burn
ing villages.
Heavy fighting is still in progress to
the south of Scissors, in the neighbor-
hood of Buczancy. Villages between
scissors and Bazoches, about fourteen
miles to the east, however, are on
fire, leading to the belief that the Ger
mans may intend further retreat.
Since Sunday the allies have ad-
vanced between two and three miles
on twenty-mile front.

were the complaints. The curious and
innocent gardener watched them bat
ter each other for hours, until neither
men could do more than stand on his
feet. Silverthorne had just a little
more stamina than his opponent, and
was finally declared the victor.
This was one OF the fiercest and
bloodiest battles ever fought, even in
those days OF bare knuckles and
slaughter house rules, and one would
suppose that Tom Oliver would have
been shocked and Mortified by the
display. Not hel When told that Sill

way to make money than gardening
