(By Associated Press)
PARIS, July 26.-capture Of the
towns Of ViIIemontoIre and ouIehy-Ie-
Chateau, is announced by the war
office.
The French took four cannon ana
many hundred prisoners In this fight
ng. The statement follows:
yesterday afternoon French troops
captured viIIemontoire after violent
fighting and captured 200 prisoners as
we'll as twenty machine guns.
Further south, OuIehy-Ie-chateau
fell into the hands Of the French. The
French made progress east Of town
and captured four cannon.
"Durins combats yesterday in the
region south Of the Ourcq the French
took many hundreds Of prisoners"
Villemontoire is slightly more than
FIVE miles directly south of scissors
on the scissors Chateau Thierry high
road 1t is in this region, on the Ger
man right flank that the enemy has
been making his most determined re-
sistance to any further advance by the
allied forces because of the danger
to his line Of retreat from the Marne
salient.
Oulchy-le-Chateau is about seven
miles south of Villemontoire. on the
Soissons-Chateau Thierry railway line.
This line has been virtually useless to
the Germans for some time, however,
owing to its having been closely ap-
preached or cut by the allies farther
north. The taking OF Oulchy-le-Cha-
teau, however, will definitely put it
out of business. The capture of this
town also represents further closing
in on Fere-en-T Tardenois, about six
miles to the east, although the allies
are closer to Fere-en-Tardenois on the
line to the south.

an attack upon tho new British posi-
tions In the Hebuterne sector on the

DIVORCE SUITS
HALF AND HALF
Records Show Absolute
Separation Asked for
By Sexes Alike.

Washington men. are not less
moral than women, but infinitely
harder to live with, If the record
of the divorce suits fled during
the past year is an indication of
the general situation in the Dis
trict- Practically the same num-
Der of men and women have asked
for absolute divorce since the first
of January. suggesting that the
graver offense which constitutes
grounds for absolute divorce un-
der the District law is as prevalent
among women as among men, un-
less as may possibly be the case,
women are more ready to forgive
and forget than their husbands.
Sixty-one men and sixty-six women
have fed suits for, absolute di-
yorce.
Women Seek Limited Divorce.
Women have asked. however, for
more than five times as many limit
ed divorces as men in the District.
and thirty-three wives have sued
their husbands for separate main
tenance. Limited divorces during
the past year have been asked on
account of alleged cruelty, deser-
ton, nonsupport, trouble with
mothers-in-law. incompatibility of
temper, and a Thousand and one
other troubles which make for un-
happiness in the home.
1t would seem that when men wish
to be separated from their wives they
are not satisfied with half measures.
Only fourteen men sued for limited
divorce this year. as compared with
the seventy-eight women who asked
for less than their complete freedom
Separation Suits Decreasing.
The increase in the population of the
National Capital since tho war has
not brought with it a corresponding
increase in the number of divorce
suits filed, as it has in the number OF
marriage licenses issued. Perhaps the
war has separated so many couples
that the number living together in
Washington has remained about the
same. Divorce, annufment of mar
riage, and separate maintenance suits
so far this year total 21. while the
figures for the two preceding years
are 81 and 276. OF this years total.
1S5 suits were filed by women and Sc.
less than half as many, by men.

PROOF OF USE
GUIDES POLICE
Liquor Imported for Home
Consumption Will Not
Be Disturbed.

With the Police Court docket
crowded almost to the limit with
bootleg" cases. the prosecuting au-
thorities have decided to more
closely investigate suspects before
trial in order not to unnecessarily
add to the congestion now before
the court.
Persons who have brought liquor
into Washington for their personal
use and have proof of their asser-
tions, are not likely in the future
to be embarrassed by having to hunt
a bondsman and appear in court, it
is claimed. This decision is prac-
tically- "rightabout-face" on the
part of the authorities, as hereto
fore they have assumed that every
one arrested in the raids on the
bootleg specials" was guilty and
must come to court to prove in
nocence.
The usual court procedure is that
a person is presumed to be innocent
until proven guilty. The decision
yesterday. it is said. will clear the
docket of many cases, proba bly,
three-fourths of them.

Queer Taste.

Some people pick out mighty queer
places to get into trouble.
For instance, take the case of Flor

dertaker's parlor.
She was discovered in said parlor at
o'clock Christmas morning. She
was talking at the top of her voice
with some unidentified person.
A cop, four blocks away, heard her,
He ran up. expecting to see the un-
dertaker struggling with a ghost.
But he saw only Florence, sitting
on bench, having one great time.
What are you doing in here?"
asked Mister Cop.

Florence.

A Hard Guy, This.

A Hard Guy, This.
Holding a razor to a policeman's
throat isn't stylish this year. Ask
John Taylor. He did it.
He was being placed under arrest
at the time by Policeman Fitzgerald.
1t seems he was accused of beating
up a woman.
To scare the cop out of arrest
ing him, John tickled Fitzgerald's
throat with a very sharp razor.
The cop wiggled away. John ran.
The cop fired five shots, but John
passed all five of the bullets.
He was nabbed a little later on
in the day by Fitzgerald. Never in
his life was Fitz So glad to arrest
anyone.
To cap the climax, John showed
he was a poor loser. He squealed
just like German who has lost
two bits in a pinochle game.
The court soaked him fifteen
months, twelve for the razor play
and three months for beating the
woman.

Another Armistfce Is Signed,

Right after dinner Christmas day. a
high-brow and a low-brow got togeth-
er and began an argument about who
started the war.
Along came a little guy, with no
brow at all, who was mighty inter
ested in knowing who finished It.
And so another war was started.
The low-brow landed on the high
brow's brow and that gentleman
dreamt that he dwelt in marble halls.
The fellow with no brow jumped
through the window, taking the sash
with him. To all accounts he is still
running.
"Ah has no eddication," Ed Morse
told the court, but All has some
muscle in nah right arm en- wen day
guy wot knows it all got sassy wild me
All done wot any man would do"
Ed was the only one Of the trio
arrested. He told the court that the
fight started when the learned one
made a sarcastic remark about his
brains.
The high-brow has a bump on his
brow. He was willing. however, since
Ed apologized. that the court place
him on probation.
1t was done.

gument. The Ford got peeved and
bumped 1t. breaking the windshield

Ford.

Allen said the street was a little

If he had thought quick enough he
could have jumped out and held the
car and prevented the damage.
As it was. he didn't, and the court
fined him so

To Our Customers

Our Government, through the Federal

ment of all accounts to increase the turn

The manufacturers and wholesalers are
compelling the retail merchants to do this,

customers to give attention to this matter
and make their plans for the early financing
of their open accounts.
The cooperation of our credit custom
ers is earnestly requested, so that we all
may assist as far as possible in maintaining
a reasonable and safe credit that will make
the country stronger for the successful
prosecution of the war.
