GERMANS REACHING

PARIS.-With the arrival of a great many new German divisions from the north to reinforce the battleline in Picardy, the resistance of the Huns to the Allied advance has stiffened considerably and they are reacting with a certain amount of success along some parts of the line.

The leading news. papers say, however, that the Allied advance, though slowed up some is bound to continue.

GLOUCESTER, Mass.-The claim is made by some fishermen located here, who were recently victims of a German submarine operating off the Massachusetts coast, that they were able to identify the commander of the submarine which attacked their vessel as a former skilled navigator in the employ of the American Fisheries Service.
 The German submarine operating off the Massachusetts coast has re- gently sunk sveral American and Canadian fishing vessels and the ap- parent ease with which the sub- marine navigates the waters off this coast, avoiding the shoals, reefs and submerged rocks lends truth to the claim made by the fishermen.

SUMMARY

Associated Press Summary.-The Germans, who have been heavily re- inforced, are making mighty efforts to check the advance of the Allied forces through Picardy towards Pe- rome, Rove and Noyon, on the south ern end of the battleline, and the British have been unable to press forward rapidly. Although a DOT. tion of Bray was entered last night by the British forces, strong German counter attacks have temporarily halted the Allied advance in the center of the line. The French forces to the right of the line are steadily gaining ground and have virtually cleared the Germans from the valley of the Matz.

LONDON.-In a proclamation is- sued by the British at Vladivostock, Archangel and the Murman coast, the Russians are treasured that 1t is not the intention of the Allies to establish a form of government by force in Russia nor to retain a single foot of Russian territory.

LONDON.-Official despatches re- ceived by the war office state that the advance of the French troops have taken them nearer the import ant town of Rove. The troops ad- vanced from the southwest and cap tured the villages of Armancourt and Tilloley, from which the Ger mans were ejected with heavy losses. The French are now attacking the outer defenses of Rove.
 To the south of the Somme, the British, advancing to attack Bray, succeeding in gaining the western edge of the town. They also took 200 prisoners and are now engaged in pressing the attack. It is ex- pected that Bray will fall soon.
 The French troops are continuing a vigorous attack on the southern part of the battlefront and heavy fighting is in progress. The main Allied interest is now centered around Lassigny, and owing to the intense nature of the cannonading in progress, it is difficult to say whether the French troops have suc' ceeded in carrying the crest of the hills near Lassigy. The stability o1 the whole Allied position on the southern line depends on the poses sion of this crest.

WOODSAW WORKER
 RECEIVES BAD CUT

Sam Derretich, while working on the Commission woodsaw in the yard on Saturday, had the misfortune to get his left forearm badly cut and is now under treatment for the in- jury in the Commission hospital.
 Sam had on a gauntlet glove and while cleaning off some sawdust near the big saw, some of the teeth of the whirling saw caught the top of the gauntlet and drew his hand in, near ly severing it.
