tween St. Quentin and Cambria the

the strength of nearly half a million
men against the allies to help the
front the breaking through Of which

Between The Veslc and Aisnc River

FRENCH TROOPS ENTER
IMPORTANT ST. QUENTIN

The town of St. Quentin, upor
which the Germans had so firmly bull
ded their hopes of providing an in
superable barrier to the allies. at last
has been entered by the French and
seemingly ehe gateway is open to Mar
shal Foch for swift advance east
ward in his task of reclaiming north
efn france.
Meanwhile the Germans and their
allies on all the battle fronts have
continued to play a losing game, and
report has it that the Turks, realizing
their critical situation through success
sive defeats and the. war, are sending
out peace feelers.
From northern Belgium to the re
gion of Verdun the battle front is still
seeth;ng with activity on various
fronts and withthe entente forces con
tAuing to make gains against the
Germans which are seriously mpcril-
ing the enemy lines.
In Flanders the Belgians and Brit
ish in the region from Dixmude to
Armentiers have further driven in
their sharp wedge eastward, capturing
important towns and cutting lines of
communication necessary to the CON
tinued holding by the Germans of
their submarine bases on the North

Again for awhile the submarine
clrcled and threatened her by swooplng
close TO her, then moved of and seemed
to come to stop. From this position,
says the captains official statement. she
opened IRE at an unseen target, firing
about twelve sells.
1T Is perhaps too carly yet 10 guess
what the unseen target may have been.
Possibly the other boats when they are
picked up can furnish evidence on this
point.
The captains boat lad been towed
FOR sOmo distance while alongside the
submarine. Nothing was 10 bo seen Of
the others. Since no wireless was sent
out there was no hope OF assistance
arriving from tho north. The captain
therefore decided 20 make for tho Irish
coat. 10 send help.
After sailing and pulling for about
seventy miles they were picked up by
the destroyer Lysander, which immcdl-
ately sent wireless that search should
be made for the other survivors AMI
