There are good many influences,

French and Canadian troops Friday
night between Goyencourt and Lau-
court, on front of about three miles,
had fought their way west Of Roye
until they were at the door of the
town, keystone of the German de-
tense in Picardy. To the immediate
north British troops were still in pos
session Of Damery and Parvillers yaf-
ter heavy counter attacks.
Open to Turning Movement.
West of Royc, the allies line is
now only scant mile and quarter
distant. This adds materially TO the
danger OF Roye by direct assault on
the part of the French and Canadians
at its western gates and from flank
ing maneuver by the British on the
northwest,
The French have carried out sue.
|cessfuliy an advance FIVE miles to the
south which seemingly lays the town
open to a turning movement from the
Loges wood. Not alone is Roye men,
accd by this later advance, but, de-
bouching from the woods southeast
ward the French are in position to
outflank Lassigny, and with the
French troops in the Oise valley near
Ribecourt also strategically placed to
begin rolling up process, which, II
successful, would obliterato the hill
and wooded country now standing as
a barrier to the capture Of Noyon.
German reserves in the Somme-O Disc
salient no longer are sufficient to
stem the allied pressure and troops
are being drawn from other sectors.
Huns Evacuate Vieux Bcrquin.
The retirement OF the Germans on
parts of the northern front continues,
but these maheuvers as yet lack def
mite explanation. Following closely
upon the evacuation Of front line po.
sitions nortl, of Albert, which were
taken over by the British. has come
another voluntary REIMBURSEMENT OF
trenches in the Lys sector. The vii
lage of Vieux Berquin has been given
up and ground over front of about
nine miles to depth of from one to
two miles has been ceded without
fighting. All the way between La
Bassee canal and Ypres the Germans
still are exhibiting signs Of nervous
ness and daily are bombing the Brit
ish front heavily with shells and gas
projectiles.
Along the Vesle river front the
Germans are similarly bombing the
positions held by the French and
Americans, but their efforts have gone
for naught so far as causing 4 relin-
quishment of territory is concerned.
The American aviators are busi1y en-
gagged in bombing operations behind
the German lines, especially against
the bridges leading northward across
the Aisne river. The American ar
tillcry also is paying strict attention
to the areas behind the line to haf
ass the Germans.
On the other battle fronts little
fighting Of moment IS taking place,
although the Italians have been forced
to sustain several counter attacks by
the Austrians in the Tonafc region.

BY Associated Press.

With the American Army on
the Vesle Front, Aug. 16.-The
Germans launched a combined
gas, artillery and air bombing
attack upon the French and
Americans along the Vesle
early Friday morning. This
was in retaliation for a bomb
ing raid by American airmen
on bridges over the Aisne late
Thursday.
The German artillery continued
shelling the crossroads south Of the
Vesie for hours, on the assumption
that the French and Americans were
bringing up troops. German aviators
bombed the woods and villages south
of the Vesle. apparently working in
relays. ,-t -
Fliers Take Photographs.
+ A group of IL American aviators
participated in the raid on the Aisne
bridges. Early Friday other Ameri-
can hiers went up and took photo
graphs, for the purpose OF ascertain
ing the effects OF the bombs dropped.
"A great deal of traffic had been re-
ported passing over. the Aisne
bridges, and the French and Ameri-
cans increased the fire of their heavy
guns.
AS q result Of the reports Of OBJ
servers the French and Americans
laid down box barrage during
Thursday. night on machine gun
nests along the hills to the northwest
OF Fismes. Observers and patrols
reported Friday morning that IL ma
chine guns had been destroyed and
every German gunner killed.

Americans were 4 located between
Pont Arcy and Gernicourt, distance
of about II miles. The same district
is also within range of the, French
and American heavy guns. The al
lies are desirous of harassing the en-
etny as much as possible owing to
reports that large ammunition trains,
soiifliwards bound, have been sighted
using the. bridges.
Huns Carting Away Loot.
The northward, traffic. has consisted
principally of infantrymen and trucks
loaded with goods taken from houses
in villages, according to reports by
seriai observers and three Italians
who escaped from the Germans and
reached the American line. The 1tal-
ians said they saw enormous ship
ments of household material and SINH
lar articles and expressed the belief
that the Germans had brought them
from south of the Vesle during the
retreat. Z
The Italians, before they reached
the American lines, hid during the
day and Travelled during the night.
They told the American officers that
the Germans were very active after
dark, when their troop movements
were carried out and when also there
was much traffic north and south.

EIGHTY THREE YEARS YOUNG.
John Finn Took Car of Fat Hogs to
Chicago Market Last Week

DEBORAH has a we'll known pioneer
resident, in the person of Mr.. John
Finn, who still makes most of the
| younger men sit up and take notice.
He is now SO years of age, and for
several years past has conducted a
fine stock farm near Trout Run, just
to keep himself busy, and health and
muscles active. Last week to show
that he was as young as ever, he
loaded a big car of fat hogs and took
them to the Chicago markets, and
sold them at good price. We call
this some real energy in a man of
his age. john didn't go down to the
city first-class either, he rode the
freight train and looked after his
shipment all the time.
Mr.. Finn has always been an active
worker. He is one of our old and
respected "fortNniners, coming
here in 1S49 from Ireland, where he
was born in 1886. He came over
with his parents and brother limo
thy. The father died on board ship.
When they came here they landed at
New Orleans. AS soon as navigat-
ion opened OH the Mississippi the.
mother and sons came up the river
and settled at Galena, ILL.,, whera
Mr.. Finn commenced work at the
timers trade. He afterwards spent
a year in st. Paul and in 1855 came
to DEBORAH, and worked at his trade
for other parties until 1860, when
he went into the hardware business,
under the firm name of Finn & Noble
and they conducted hardware
store for many years on the ground
where the Citizens Savings Bank
now stands.
