FIVE MILE ADVANCE
MADE BY BRITISH
Germans Unable TO Stand
Against Massed Attack.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE,
Sept. 28.-The results of yesterdays bat
tie were seen to-day to be greater than
they appeared last night. both in ma
tsrinl and tactical achievements. This
has seemed to be characteristic OF the
recent British successes.
From the moment when the front line
advanced at dawn yesterday the great
forward movement began to extend
miles in depth. The irresistible mo-
mentum OF the we'll ordered masses
streaming along the roads seemed to
carry a pressure which the Germans
could not hope to stem once their line
was preached.
II was not surprising. therefore, to
hear that all the detectives of the day
were obtained, which meant that the
British had gone forward to an extreme
depth of about five miles through a
most formidable and Intricate network
OF defences. SO remarkable was the
British progress that not only field bat
teries but heavy sixty Founders were
brought ZIP to the western fringe of
Bourbon Wood and were raking II before
the enemy had completed the withdrawal
OF his rear guard from the eastern edge.
Converging tactics worked admirably.

Tanks played a very useful part in
cleaning out the machine gun infested
thickets OF Quarry Wood and in putting
down an attempt at street fighting amid
the ruins OF Bourbon village In the
region OF Graincourt, west of Cambria,
the Hindenburg line was most heavily
held.
The Canadians, who were first to cross
the Canal du Nord between Moeuvres
and Marcoing. had expected very hevay

meeting only slight resistance as they
swarmed from the east to the west bank
across the canal. which in some places
was sixty feet deep. Tho Germans
bolted 80 fast that they were out Of
sight before an effective rifle fire could
be opened upon them.
The appearance of American infantry
in the southern part Of the battlefield
must have been an unwelcome surpris,
to the Germans. who doubtless hardl,
expected to encounter any OF these over
seas troops so far from the Woevre.
The British captures OF guns are likely
to make considerable showing. not
withstanding the fact that the enem!
has been withdrawing his artillery with
out much regard for the protection o
his infantry. Apparently the officers Il

large scale at any time, although va

made during the day. The heaviest OF

Latest reports from the Champagne

the utmost violence. The Germans are

able the retirement of forces gravely
threatened at other points along the
front. The impression this evening is
that the enemy Is making great efforts

position on the German defence line.

LET SHEEP CRAZE IN PARKS
Good Idea Both From Financial Stand
point and in Improved Appear
ance of the Grass.

For many years European cities
have turned out flocks Of sheep, NUM-
cipally owned to Craze in their parks.
The sheep is one Of the best Of lawn
mowers. It crops closely, yet not too
closely, insuring that smooth-shaven
effect which delights the eye. And
grazing sheep, as well as well-trim-
med lawns, are highly ornamental.
The city of Denver, keenly aware OF
the necessity for the utilization OF all
available land in the production OF
foodstuffs, has decided to purchase no
fewer than 5000 sheep to NOW Its
park lawns next year. The agricul-
tural experts have decided that where
the grass is heavy and well rooted
three sheep to the acre can be easily
maintained. They will buy ewes ready
for lambing, according to plans, ana
will make a handsome profit upon the
mutton and wool.
There are $50 cities in the United
States with populations in excess or
$4,000, and practically every n OF
these cities has hundreds of acres OF
park land. These park acreaGes, the
government believes, could easily
maintain 100000 sheep each summer.
