Madrid.-The epidemic which is
sweeping over Spain, a disease which
somewhat resembles grip, is increasing
in SEVERITY. There are more than 150,-
600 cases in Madrii The mortality,
however, continues o be low. The king
arose from sick bed, but still is un-
able to attend to matters of state. The
fact that more than 600 doctors are
suffering from the effects of the dis
ease hampers an efectual fight against
the epidemic.

Champagne offensive in France now
have reached the right bank Of the
River Marine, on a ten-mile front, ac
COrding to a statement by the British
General STAFF.
The announcement, which is said tc
express the opinion Of the genera
staff, continues:
"The situation around Rheims is moi
quite clear, but II it is not already lost
1t seems clear it must fall very soon.
"The French were driven back on q
line from NoyOn to scissors.
"A new development is the German
attempt to extend their attacks to the
east of Rheims, where they were re
ported to be attacking, but no further
details have been received"
A dispatch from Rome says Cardi
nal Lucon, of Rheims, has telegraphed
to the Vatican that he is leaving the
ruined cathedral city.
Cardinal Gasparri, replying to Car
dinal Lucon's message, said the Holy
See was dispatching a petition to the
German Government begging that
what remains of the Rheims Cathedral
be spared.
The German army, which, according
to the above dispatch, has reached the
Marne, is that composing the Crown
Princes center. Chateau-Thierry, re.
ported to have been occupied by the
Germans, is IL miles southwest OF
