FurIough.

Stoddard County officials yesterday
communicated with United States
Commissioner F. \. Rage as to what
steps to take against Bernie
Looney, young man of Puxico, who
is held in the Stoddard County Jail
at Bloomfield on a charge of being a
deserter from the army. The COM
missioner advised them to turn the
soldier over to the commanding of
ficer at jefferson Barracks, St. Louis
County.
According to the information from
the county officials at Bloomfield,
Looney was drafted last February
and put in the field artillery. During
the early part Of June he came nome,
claiming to have a furIough. While
hunting shortly after his return home
he shot a toe off his right foot.
The youth asserted tire shooting
was accidental, but his aversion
against army life evidenced by his
second return without leave, caused
an investigation of the shooting, and
the county officials assert the shoot
ing was not accidental.
The young soldier is held in the
county jail and will De delivered to

HUNSMUSTSHOW THEIR HAND IN
 4 FEW DAYS
WASHINGTON EWES
 THAT DEVELOPMENTS DURING COMING WEEK WILL GIVE ALLIES A
 LINE ON ENEMY TACTICS
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. - With the Germans standing substantially in the same positions they occupied last March Fist, when the great offensive was launched, 1t appears certain to officials here that the next few days will see the plans of the opposing commanders revealed. The statements in the official German communique that 'our lines everywhere are oc- cupied" are given only one construc- ton here They are apparently in tended to mean that the retirement has come to an end and that the Ger mans expect to stop the Allied ad- vance along the old front. Ii is evi- dent from today's report that the AL lied forces were still feeling their way forward carefully through the rear guard screens of machine gum ners. which still cover many positions on the enemy's present front. There is a feeling among officials that the enemy is likely to signalize its in. tention to stand fast by striking back hard at the advancing French and British forces or even by an attack at some other point with a design to relieve the pressure.
