PARIS, Aug. (1O:45 A. MI
The German retreat Is gaining mo-
mentum as the Allies push forward
on the whole forty-mile front from
west of Scissors TO Rheims.
In the center American troops are
driving toward the Aisne up the
D'orillion valley and are within six
miles OF the important enemy base OF

West of Rheims advanced elements
have reached several points on the
Vesle river. East of scissors many
Germans are retreating northward

French patrols have reached the
Aisne near Venizel. The enemy
seems to have been surprised at sois-

regiment, but will not take command
owing to his duties at Bonhamtown.
The encampment at the seaside
camp has been under consideration
and rumored of for some time. The
state military authorities have not
been able to order the regiment TO
camp in view of the fact that 1t is
under federal control and has been
since October 26 OF last year. Tho
militia bureau at Washington, 1t is
understood, finally approved the plan
as suggested by the adJutant general
and has taken this step to bring the
battery and regiment to camp.
Capt. Hanson said this morning
that he will issue orders to the men
to attend drills this coming week. as
soon as he receives the official word
OF the move to camp. There will be
the regular drill on Wednesday night
and probably several other sessions
before the twenty-sixth.
The battery was one year old on
Wednesday, as IL was on July 81 OF
last year that the first meeting was
held at City Hall for the formation
OF the battery, when the men VINO
were assembled there ana signed up
for service with the Perth Amboy
Battery were told then that they
would see active service within two
or three weeks.
II is very likely that Capt. Hanson
and other officers and non-coms OF the
battery will go TO the camp next week,
when the local battalion OF the state
militia reserve will be there. the
school for officers will be for one
week only.
This is the first really satisfactory
move that has been made for the bat
terry and the men are more or less
dubious over IL. as il does not pre-
clude any permanent service but calls
only for the short period. They feel,
however. that In view OF the fact that
the equipment and the sending OF the
men TO camp means such an outlay OF
money for them by the federal mill
tary authorities that some definite
and final action with regard 70 the
disposition OF the battery will be
made within a short time.

partment this morning.
The Eastern Department of tho

tant General Frederick l.. Gilkyson
that IL approves the plan suggested
by the state OF sending the organiza-

portation, etc, are now under way

rations for the encampment at the
state military field. No official word
of the encampment has as yet been

that orders will be received here
within few days.
Equipment for the battery has
been at Newark for some time await
ing furthering of arrangements for an

steps will be taken TO bring this per-
sonal equipment TO this city as soon
