GERMANS LIKELY
70 RETIRE NOW
NORTH OF AISNE
ny ,. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, Aug. +-Von Hinden-
burg has been squeezed out OF pract-
calIy all Of the deadly Marine salient. but
Is continuing his retreat with the Bel
gian border almost beginning to appear
within range Of General Foch's strategic
vision.
There have been two dominating vic
tories won by the allies in the present
serie. of engagements. The first was
when the Americans drove the Germans
back across the Marine, giving General
Foch his opportunity to begin his coun-
ter drive. The second was the capture
Of Soissons-
As the Marne victory opened the way
for the exercise of decisive pressure
AGAINST Won Hindenburg within the
Soissons-Rheims salient, so the capture
OF Scissors opens new possibilities OF
compelling the Germans to retire north
Of the Aisne.
The ChemIn des DANES positions.
which are Won Hindenburg's principal
defenses north OF the Aisne. are twelve
miles northwest OF scissors.
II General Foch can bend the German
front into the western Chemin des
Danes area with a fair degree OF rapid
ity, the danger OF outfiank!ng Won Hin
denburg will compel the Germans TO re-
tire still farther. The new positions
may we'll bring the allies nearer the
southern border OF Belgium than they
have been at any time since the Ger
mans invaded France four years ago.
Won Hindenburg has carefully pre-
pared defenses between the Chemin
des Danes and Belgium; but 1t is
certain that profound confusion
has been caused to his plans and his
reserves may not now be sufficient to
hold the allies at all the important
points along the west front. The
thrust which General Foch is begin
ming to develop against the Chemin
des Danes is the most serious prob
lem Won Hindenburg has had to face
since he began his retreat at the
Marine II may well demand a short
ening Of the German lines at many
points, so that the German reserves
shall not be dangerously depleted.

AUSTRIAN WORKERS.
THREATEN ANARCHY.
UNLESS WAR ENDS.

Austria, at the end OF her resources
economically. militarily and POLITICAL
Iy, is in imminent danger of follow
ing Russia's example as the quick
est" way out" according to official
cables from Zurich.
From all parts of the dual mon
archy workmen's delegates have come
to the meeting at Vienna Without
exception they declare that unless
the war ends soon Austria will re-
vert to anarchy and chaos. Entire
districts are without food and coal
for the coming winter. and cannot De
obtained even in the mining regions.
GCondItIon UnbearabIe--
"At Cratz," declared Delegate Wet
enhoser, "the population for the last
three weeks have not received po-
tatoes or meat and only a half ration
of bread
"The condition has become unbear-
able. In many provinces the entire
population is slowly dying of hun
ger. The death rate is enormous.
Epidemics are raging n c c
throughout the length and breadth OF
the land
Delegate Sehawel. from MoraVla'
warned that the coal supply was ex-
hausted. and that winter would bring
untold suffering to the people there.
Children Must Work.
The delegate OF the workingmen at
Teplitz. NJ. Pankaz. confirmed reports
that children from six to ten years
were forced to work at night In the
glass works in order to earn enough
money to buy food for their parents
The mortality among these child
workers is enormous, Pankaz~ de-
clared.
Delegates from Innsbruck injected a
note of warning into the session oy
declaring that sin the face OF the gov
ernment's helplessness to solve the
food problem. the workmen ought 10
obtain for themselves the means OF
alternating the pangs or nungere'
intimating that the workmen OF Rus-
sia had found a way out.

French cavalry, operating on the
eastern flank, have duplicated the
feats of Mangin's men. Riding west
ward through the Ardre valley, they
have occupied Thillois, Gueux, Tin
Queux. Rosnay and are reported to
have reached Jonchery. The daring
horsemen rode across bridgest to which
the Germans had set fire.
(Tinqueux is a mile west OF Rheims.
Thillois-is a mile and a half west Of

west Of Thillois. Rosnay is two miles

miles northeast of Rosnay, on the
south bank of the Vesle. and Is only
five miles and a half east of Fismes.)
Despite the bad state Of the roads,
artillery, tanks and transports are
keeping well up with the infantry
The advance is backed up as well as
it was at any stage of the counter Of
fensive.
The boches are abandoning more
and more equipment and material as
they fee northward. The amount Of
booty taken in the last twenty-four
hours is staggering. The total OF
prisoners also is steadily swelling.

vantage of keeping their government

tinue IL is lost, the holder cannot again
obtain insurance except from private
companies, at an increase in cost More
over, many Of the men have become I'M
insurable as a result Of the war through

this insurance they will lose the last OPP
portunity for their families to have such
protection. ~.

tv. one days after the insured ceases TO
he in active service, insurance will lapse.
Checks or money orders should be made
navable to the treasurer of the United

ance section, treasury department,

grant reinstatement under certain con
ditions if application Is made within SIX
months after the date OF lapse.
When insurance has been allowed 70
lapse in any instance, the insured VIII be
assisted In being reinstated by the home
service of the Red Cross.
Every person holding this insurance
may keep it up for period Of FIVE years
after peace is proclaimed by the presi-
dent, upon regular payment of premi'
ums.
Not later than five years after the ter
mination of the war this term insurance
NAV be converted without medical ex-
animation into such insured forms OF in
surance as may be prescribed by regula-
tions and as the insured may request.
In accordance with the provisions Of the
law, these regulations will provide for
the right to convert into ordinary life,
20 payment life, endowment maturing
at age of %, and into other usual forms
