With the American Army in
France, July 81. - Stiff resistance
the Germans are now putting up
indicates that a strong line has
been established and bitter efforts
are being made to keep the allies
from breaking through it, but pris-
oners insist the enemy will make
his most determined stand between
Rheims and Scissors. The orderly
German retreat toward Fismes is
still in progress, screened by heavy
rear guard action along the line
from Villemontoire through Parcy-
et-Tigny, Grand Rozoy and Fere-en-
Tardenois eastward beyond Seringes
and sergy, and on to the Roneheres
Americans hold Sergy and Hill 212,
nearby. They also have stormed
and hold Meurcy farm. The bat
tie is constantly becoming fiercer.
In bitter hand to hand conflicts
the American infantry was at grips
with the enemy al day yesterday.
German artillery is working with
the infantry for the first time
since the retreat started. American
artillery is superbly backing up our
infantrymen.

SEEK STORY Of
NANCY BELL
Refined Woman Held at
Sheriff's Office Is Unable
to Remember How She
Got Here.
LIVES IN ONTARIO, CANADA
Woman Is Found Wandering About
Near Dexters Corners - Unable to
Make Amy Connected Statement
of Her Movements.
LIVES IN ONTARIO, CANADA

A highly refined woman of pleasing
address and whose clothing indicate
that she is a woman of considerable
wealth, is held at the county jail pend
ing an Investigation among her rela-
tives She has given her name as
Nancy Bell'' and her age as sixty
seven years and she admits that her
home is in Erin township, Wellington
county, Ontario.
The woman was found wandering
along the road near Dexter Corners
in the town of Pleasant Prairie, just
after eight O'Clock Tuesday evening
and her mind appears to be blank.
She insists that she has no remembrance
of leaving her home and that she has
no remembrance of how she reached
Dexter's Corners. She told the under
sheriff this morning that she recalled
the fact that a physician had told her
that she was suffering from hardening
Of the arteries and that he had told her
to get out into the open air q great deal.
She has no knowledge Of how she
came from Ontario to this county.
At first she told the undersheriff that
she had been visiting with friends IN
the neighborhood of Dexter's Corners,
but when the people were found they
declared that they did not know the
woman and that they had never seen
or heard of her until she appeared foot
sore and weary and asked for night S
lodging. The woman is evidently well
educated and she has been accustomed
to the best things in life.
The sheriff has communicated with
the officials in Wellington county, but
no answer to his telegram has been re-
ceived. The woman declared that she
has sister in that county and gave the
name of Mrs. Anthony Turner of Guelph,
The woman had evidently walked for
long distance and she had suffered
greatly from the hardship Of the long
trip. She declared today that she
knew that she was at her home three
weeks ago, but that she had no memory
Of stopping at any place since that time.
The officials think that it is possible
that the woman has wandered away
from some institution in the neighbor-
hood Of Chicago, but there was moth
ing on any of her clothing to indicate
that she had been an inmate Of any
institution. She resented vigorously
the determination Of the officers to hold
her until her friends and relatives
could be heard from and repeatedly
demanded that she be released to go
where she might see fit.

Coroner of County Takes
Out Petitions on Tuesday
As Candidate for Re
publican Nomination.
TAELEN ALSO IN The RACE
Former Proprietor of Rambler Hotel
Would Secure the Democratic NomS.
nation for the Same office-PoHti-
cal Pot Bubbling Hard Today.

Herb Millager is just naturally tired
of being coroner of Kenosha county
and enjoying the distinction of being
the only county official who could
"pinch" the sheriff and he has de-
cided to try to be sheriff himself
and let some one else have the power
Ito arrest him.
Petitions for his nomination as the
Republican candidate for sheriff, were
taken out late Tuesday afternoon and
he is already making vigorous cam
Ipaign for the nomination.
Coroner Millager has been much in
public life In Kenosha4 He has held
the Office of coroner for many years
and is one Of the best known Of the
Republican campaigners in Kenosha-
He is recognized as hard canpaigner
and he is known IN all parts Of the city
and county. The coming Of Millager
into the field for sheriff makes quar-
, sssta soE Republican siraI 1n1 '',l-
ling Johu Herzog, Fred Blaekman, VIII
liam Kreuger and II. q. Millager.
Nicholas P. 4Thelen, complicated the
Democratic campaign to nominate
sheriff this morning when he formally
entered the race as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination. Mr.. Thelen
formerly was manager of the Rambler
Hotel and is widely known in the
lefty and county.
The political pot was boiling and
boiling hard today. With but three
days left in which to circulate petit
tons for Office, lot of people were
about the Office of the county clerk
seeking information as to how to get
into the game. There were still lot
of men who were hesitating. The
nomination of candidate for member
of the assembly was much in the air
today, In connection with the Repub-
ican nomination the names of County
Clerk Russell II. Jones, Charles Fl. Bis
hop of Bristol, and Peter N. Ander-
son Of Somers, were being mentioned
but no petitions had been taken for
any of these men.
The decision of Mr.. Millager to run
for sheriff left blank space on the
Republican county ticket for coroner
and several men were being men
toned as possible candidates to fill
up the vacancy.
Clare Dixon Of Silyeriake, was men
toned for county clerk and it was de-
clared that Raymond Powell of Bristol,
had been mentioned for the Republican
nomination for clerk Of the Circus
Court.
Conferences were being held in sew
eraI places today and it was expected
that as a result of these conferences
several new petitions would be in cir
clllation before the day was over.

Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, arrived in
Kenosha this morning with orders from

by the fact that he had an old ''Class
