POSITION is UNSTABLE AND WILL
PROBABLY BE UNABLE TO HALT
ADVANCE OF ALLIES, WHO ARE
PUSHING FORWARD
CBy Associated Press)

! The Germans have paused in their
| fight before the Anglo-America ad-
vance from the Canbrai-St. Quentin
/ line long enough TO attempt a stand
along the Seile river southwark from
the tip Of the allied wedge at lie
Cateau.
2Iomentarily therefore, the line ap
pears to be stationary along the front,
where the enemy has hastily dug in.
Field Marshal Haig, in his official re-
port today, did not mention any new
forward movement here.
New Line is Unstable
The line is an extremely unstable
one. fowtver, and the German defenseS
are described as mere scratches on the
surface There seems every probabil
ity therefore, that the allied drive will
be resumed as soon as the guns and
the transports catch up with the ad-
vanced elements for a powerful push
at the improvised German positions.
Meanwhile the British sweep on the
more northerIy front has resulted in an
extremely close approach to the city
of Douai. Closing the southwest
and northwest the British are hardly
more than q mile and a half from the
center OF the places through their cap
ture of Quincy and the announcements
of Douais fall at any hour would not
be surprising.
French Make Great Advances
Equally sweeping advances are being
made by the French in the champa gne
The German front here seems to nave
lost it's power of successful reign and
General Petain's troops have made
quick advance of from 5 to. miles.
The important town of Vouziers has
been penetrated and the French line In
Champagne has been brought up TO
level with it far to the west along the
Retourne river
Gain Is Miles in Champagne
The advance in the Champagne now
has reached a depth Of nearly fifteen
miles since the Franco American Of
fensive was started on this front, Sep !
tember 26, hardly more than two weeks
ago.
Aiding markedly in the success OF |
this operation and striking at even /
more vital German positions, is the /
continued American attack in the Ar
sonne and eastward in the Meuse dls-
.rict. The American first army fought
IS way northward yesterday to the
7icinity of Landries- EthS Georges,
which apparently marks at least
nile and halfs progress beyond the
amouS Kirimhilde line.
American Again Attacking
Today the Americans We're again al
acking, against such a determined re-
istance as TO indicate plainly the real
zation OF the Germans that they are
acing here a menace to the saftey OF
heir entire position in northern France
through the theater to their vital com
ng lines in the Montmedya area.

GARDINER WANTS TO
SETTLE CHAMPIONSHIP

The Lewiston Evening Journ,, IF
June is contains a sweening cbaI
lenge from West Paris high school ,o
any preparatory or high school in
the state, especially to Lisbon Falls
nigh school and Gardiner high school
for the championship of the State of
Maine. The paper had no sooner
reached Gardiner last evening than
the Gardiner management telephon ID
to tie West Paris high school to ac-
cept the challenge. The West Paris
high management made the statement
that they We're very sorry but thev
could not play Gardiner.
The Gardiner management offered
every lnducement TO West Paris bur
without avail A few days ago the
tWiston Journal contained q like
claim from Lisbon Falls high school,!
Their claim was not so good as West
PARIS for Brunswick high school had
beaten them twice and as Gardine-
has defeated Brunswick it gives a
clear title to Gardiner for the higl
school championship of Maine
Gardiner offered the same induce
ments TO Lisbon Falls to play them
in face of Lisbons own challenge but
LiSbons reason was that they ha
disbanded. Yesterday word was re
ceived that they are to play Satur-
day. The Gardiner management has
done it's best to get a game for then
supporters on Wednesday but the
would-be claimants have lost all theil
courage. Gardeners last game comes
Saturday with Livermore Falls higt
school.
