ing.
German resistance continues to be
stubborn, but it is believed that the
enemy is fighting rear guard actions
in the hope of checking the British
long enough to get on new defens-
i've line, probably north and south or
Peronne. Divisions which have stood
the brunt of the fighting for several
days, are still in the battle.
Take More Prisoners.
Additional prisoners have been
taken by the British, who also have
increased their captures of material
and machine guns. The German los
ses still are heavy. particularly where
enemy counter alta cks have been
broken up by British artillery fire.
Each extension northward of the
fighting lines adds to the difficulties
and dangers of the Germans within
the Picardy salient. An advance OF
several miles south of the Scarpe or
the winning Of the Hindenburg line
on front of any width would out
flank virtually all the German gains
made in Picardy this year. Behind the
advancing British line astride the
Scarpe. sare the hills around Ar1as
from which hundreds of guns pour
devastating fire on the hard-pressed
Germans. Several miles in the rear
of the Hindenburg line east of Arras
is trench system known as the
"Queant- -Drocourt Switch line How
formida BILE this is, is uncertain, but
IL is on n table land of hills behind it.
Press Close to Bapaume.
The British had pressed closer to
Bapaume from the north and south
this morning. British patrols are re-
ported to have gone into Bapaume and
taken it without coming upon any OF
the enemy. The usefulness of Bapau-
me as a base has been lost to the
Germans, as the British artillery has
had it under easy range for several
days. Particularly bitter fighting
marks the British progress around
Bapaume.
On the southern wing, the British
have taken several more towns east OF
Of Albert and astride the Somme
West of Peronne the British have
moved eastward through Suzanne and
Cappy on opposite banks of the Som
me. Australian troops are on the
southern wing while Canadian units
are along the Scrape, in the north.

fined to the eastern and western ex-

BRITISH TROOPS PENETRATE H|NDENbURG LINE
Enemy Prisoners Talk
of German Republic
to Come After the War
(By Associated Press,

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Monday, Aug. 26.-The idea
of change in form in the government
of Germany seems to occupy place in
the thoughts of many German soldiers.
judging from remarks made by prison
ers. One of those who has expressed
hopes of a change was a soldier from
Baden He said he and his comrades
had had more war than they wanted
and hoped that as soon as war was
over, Baden would become an inde-
pendent republic.
More Alsatians have been captured
by the British. One of them said he
had refused for three years to enter
the German army. He was finally
dragged in by force and since then
has been mostly in the front lines.

German Soldiers Shot
For Refusal to Obey
Orders to Go to Front

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 27-There are
persistent rumors from German
source, says the frontier corresporL-
ent of the Telegraaf. that German
battalion on being ordered to the
front unanimously refused to go,
whereupon every tenth man was shot.
The others then gave up their re-
Sistance.

WORLD SERIES

Cooperating with the con-
servation policy of the gov
ernment and conforming with
war time conditions, the Pal
ladium will not give returns
from the world series on its
big electric score board. The
government has adopted a
strenuous policy of conserving
man power and of keeping
men engaged in essential in
dustries.

Today's Temperature

For Wayne County by w. e. Moore
The weather continues fair over the
western portion Of the state with rains
over south and central portions, and
along the Ohio river. The warm wave
covers the west although the tempera-
ture has fallen somewhat over this
section. Temperatures above so may
be expected within the next Sc hours.

Make Slow Progress
| The official statement issued at
London today shows slow but contin-
ued progress in almost every part OF
the line from Croisilles far to the
north. to well below the Somme river.
The British are advancing toward
Beugnatre, two and half miles
northeast of Bapaume. Nearer the
Soxnrne river they have moved east
wased along the difficult ground that
borders that stream. They are re-
ported east of Suzanne, which is sit
uated on the northern bank OF the
river, and are closing in on Dom
pierre. which may be the pivot of the
German line south of the Somme IN
the direction OF Chaulnes.
French Troops Near Roye
French troops are once more ad-
va ncing near Roye. the official state
ment issued at Paris telling Of sue.
cesses near st. Mard. about mile
southwest of Roye. Heavy German
counter attacks were repulsed in this
region.
Between the Ailette and the Aisne
the French have repulsed German
attacks and have advanced their line
about three-quarters OF mile In the
district east OF Bagneux. This ad-
vance should bring General Mangin S
army nearly north Of the town OF
Juvigny, which appears to be import
ant from a defensive point OF view
There is little indication, however,
that the German armies are demoraliz-
ed in the battle that is going on from
Arras to Scissors. At every point
they seem to be fighting savagely and
to be compelling the British and
French to extend themselves to the
limit. This resistance seems to be
especially vigorous in the region or
CrHissi!es and farther north between
the Coieul and Scarpe river where the
British attacked yesterday morning.
Take More Prisoners.
The British advance is evidence OF
temporarily slowing up at various
places along the front, but intervals
Of comparative slow movement must
be expected during the course OF
battle such as this, for the British
have now been engaged in hard and
continuous open fighting without rest
for a week
Many more prisoners and guns and
another German battalion commander
have been taken. The officer fell into
the hands OF the British ip the fighting
around Beugnatre, north of Rapaume.
The total number of machine guns
taken from the Germans in the pres
ent drive must now run away up In
the thousands. Stacks or these
weapons have been captured but 1t is
probable there will be no opportunity
for counting them in the immediate
future
British officers estimate that the
Germans were forced to use at least
20 divisions between the Scarpe and
Aisne rivers, from August to August
25
British pressure is being maintain
ed all along the front from the Scarpe
to the Somme and an advance through
the Hindenburg line south of the
Scarpe appears as one OF the possi-
bilities Of the near future.
On the new section of the battle
field, the British are on the linden
burg line, but apparently have not
progressed east Of it on front OF any
great width. Important gains have
bean made astride the Arras- Cambria
road and another push like that OF
Mondays will place the northern wing
of the British northern army. on

IT WAS Hedwig who showed the most

crying out for help for herself.
SO now she sat very quiet and Won

Prince Ferdinand William Otto sat by
the rail and watched the green banks
flying by. In one place a group of chill
dren were sailing tiny boat from the
bank. II was only plank, with n crazy
cotton sail They showed Il off and
watched while the current seized II and
carried It along. Then they cheered,
and called good-by to II.
The Crown Prince leaned over the

cheered too. and waved his cap. He

soldiers ready to fight.
But the thought OF soldiers brought
Milky to his mind. His face clouded.

said. HE is away somewhere. / wish
he had sent word he was going"
Hedwig looked over the river.
The Archduchess glanced at Miss
Braithwaite. There is no news?" she
asked in an undertone.
None" said Miss Braithwaite.

mind and made her turn pale. What IL

they feared him enough for that! II

refused.
The launch drew up near the fort and

Il wish you would listen, Hedwig,"
said the Crown Prince almost fretfully.
It's so interesting. The enemy SOL

and along that road on foot. And then
we would raise the guns and shoot at
them. And tho guns would drop back
again before the enemy had time to aim

But Hedwig's interest was SO evil.

Countess. The Countess professed
smiling terror. and stood a little way
back from the gins. looking on. But
Prince Ferdinand william Otto at last
coaxed her to the top OF the emplace-

urged. And the guns won't hurt you.
There's nothing in them"
To get up Il was necessary to climb
