On the French Front, in France,
July 13.-The superbly executed local
action carried out by the French FRI
day southeast of ATliens not only gave
them large batch of prisoners. but
brought into their possession the en-
tire Rouvrelles plateau dominating
the region between the Rivers Avre
and Moreuil, and the Noye, thru
which the main railroad from Paris
to Amiens passes and which has been
in the hands of the enemy since
March. More than 500 German Off
GERS and men already captured have
been sent to the rear and others are
arriving.
Paris, July 13.-In an operation
carried out last night on the front be-
tween Montdidier and the Oise. the
French pushed their advanced posts
forward a distance of approximately
500 yards in the vicinity of the Porte
farm, the war office announced today.
The Porte farm is in the vicinity
OF Antheuil, northwest of Compiegne.
This farm together with the Loges
farm, nearby, was captured by the
French in a local operation on the eve
ming of July 8. The statement reads:
Between Montdidier and the Oise
the French in-the course of the night
advanced their forward posts 500 me-
ters in the region of the Porte farm.
Several raids were carried out by
French troops north of the Avre
| (southeast of Amiens) in the region of
| the Disc, on the Marne and in the
Champagne. resulting in the taking
| of prisoners"
| (By the Associated Press)
| Last night was rather less active
than has been the case recently in the
way of fresh enterprises by the entente
troops under the present plan of
pounding the German lines here and
there at frequent intervals. The
French, however. were enga ged in a
lively little operation northwest of
| Compiegne where earlier in the week
they pushed sharply into the German
| lines al the apex of the wedge formed
halt their abortive rush toward Paris
on the Montdidier Noyon front last
month. The action of last evening
carried the French advanced lines
ahead more than a quarter of a mile
lin the Porte farm region, to the west
| of the Compiegne road running past
Antheuil. They also carried out raid
| ing operations in the region of the
Avre, southeast of Amiens, in the vi
cinity of the, line on which their sue
cessful thrust of yesterday was carried
| out, and at points further east.
| Success has crowned further allied
| smashes into the German lines be-
| tween Ypres and Rheims. For more
| than two weeks the allies have been
| jamming into the German defenses
here and there and the results now
are just as favorable as at the be-
ginning.
! Strike in Picardy Also.
For the first time since the attrition
campaign was undertaken the French
| have struck with force in the Picardy
field. Along the Avre river, northwest

HUNS FRIGHTENED
Much Alarmed by Reports OF
Allied Intervention.
Fearful of Effect on the Rus
sian Situation.

London, July 13.-In an editorial in
its issue of July 6, which displays anx-
iety over developments in Russia, the
Frankfurter Zeitung infers that the
successes of the Czecho-Slovaks have
overcome the objections of the en-
tente to intervention, and it refers to
THE undertaking which England is
preparing from the north against the
heart of European Russia" as more
serious than the attack which it as
sumes the Japanese will deliver from
the east.
The newspaper thinks that the Mos
COW soviet government is faced with
immediate peril and it dwells upon the
successes of the Czecho-Slovaks, with
whom, it says, the entente seems al
ready to have esta blished a connec-
ton. Assuming that the entente ex-
poets to compel Germany to strength
en- its protection in the east, the
newspaper continues:
THE political menace to the work
accomplished at Brest-Litovsk seems
more important. That work, with its
many obScurities never contained a
guarantee of permanence and the
events of the last few months have
made holes in it everywhere. If the
entente's action should lead to the
collapse of the soviet governm ent very
little of the Brest-Litovsk peace would
remain, and the task which seemed to
have been accomplished would face
German policy once more, a task
that would be more difficult than il
was the first time"

THIEF GETS NARCOTICS
Offices of Topeka Dentist and Surgeon
Entered Last Night.

Between $3.50 and s175 worth of
gold, platinum and narcotics was
stolen late Friday night or early this
morning from the offices of Drs. c. R.
SiIverthorne, surgeon, and c. M VIII
iiams, dentist, S23 Kansas avenue, by
burglars who gained entrance to the

Both the police and sheriff's force,
who are working on the case, believe
the robbery was engineered by a per-
son or persons looking for narcotics.
Two tubes of narcotics were taken
from Dr. Williams's office, and about
SO worth of morphine and other mar
cotics was taken from DIR. Silver

"The population of Berat hail our

French Advance Also.
London, July 13.-French troops in
Albania are now driving northward
with apparently the same speed that
characterized the Italian advance in
the first days of the offensive.
Latest reports from the battle front
indicate that the Italians have slack
ened their progress to permit the
French, on their right, to bring their
lines forward and maintain prac-
tically straight front from Lake
Okhrida to the Adriatic.
The italians, except on their right
flank, were aided in their advance
by the comparatively terrain bor-
dering the sea, while the French have
been forced to move forward over an
extremely difficult mountainous coun-

Adriatic to the mouth of the Struma
river, but there are yet no indications
that a general allied offensive is con-
templated.
