Movement Has Been Practically
Steady for the Past
Few Days.
GERMANS USE Is
FRESH DIVISIONS
Boche Forces Fighting Desper'
ately to Retain Control of the
Single Railroad Line.

Washington, July 24.-The advance
of the allied and American forces
around the Aisne-Marne salient has
been practically steady foro the last
two days. General March, chief of staff
said today, despite the fact that fif-
teen fresh divisions of German troops
have been thrown into the fighting
by the enemy at scissors. and on the
line south of there.
The Germans are fighting desper-
ately to retain the single railway line
remaining in their hanos over which
heavy material can be removed as
they retreat. General March said.
II that railway, running from Fismes
to Fere en- Tardencie is reached by
the allied troops, General March said
German forces remaining in the sal
lent will be pocketed.
Two regular infantry regiments will
form the neucleus of each division.
Home guards have replaced regulars
at interior guard posts for this pur-
pose and the regulars are now NOV
ing to the camps designated. General
March said. Aside from the two in
fantry regiments OF regulars, the di-
visions will be composed of National
army troops.
In discussing the situation on the
Aisne-Marne line General March said
1t bore striking similarity to what
happened to the Austr1~n drive into
Italy. "A great storm had cut off the
advancing Austrians on the Piave line.

kAisER's GOVERNMENTS SUCCESS
TiON Will COME THROUGH
SPANISH GOVERNMENT, BUT is
NOT ACCEPTABLE.
By Associated Press.

Amsterdam, July 24,-Germany has
made suggestions for a peace confer
ence to the Spanish government. says
the Socialist Vorwaerte, of Berlin.
The suggestions are:
First, Germany wants no annexa-
tions or indemnities in the west.
Second. The peace treaties with
Russia and Rumania may not be ques-
toned
Third. The principle Of seIf-deter-
mination of peoples has not been dis
cussed, but may be settled at the
peace conference where the fate OF
Belgium also is to be settled"
Fourth. The Balkan question is
to be settled around the conference
table.
Fifth. The freedom Of the seas, the
dismantehng of Gibraltar. and the
Suez canal and the right for Germany
to use coaling stations.
Sixth. The colonial question is to
be settled on the basis of the status
quo"
The Norwaerts considers this a
very reasonable peace program
The term "status-quo.. applied in
the foregoing to the German colonial
question has been rather loosely used
in the past in connection with the So
luton of various peace proposals. In
general, 1t has been employed as an
abbreviation OF the term status quo

MAID
 WEDS OFFICER

The marriage of Miss Helen May Kinney. daughter of MT. and -.Irs. J. H. Kinney of 609 North Fourth street, to Captain Walter Luer of the One Hun dred and F'orty-third Field Artillery in Los Angeles, was the interesting news received by the brides parents yes terday.
 Word of the wedding came as a de- cided surprise to the relatives and close friends of the attractive Phoenix girl. Although they knew of the en- gagement it was understood that the wedding would be 'an after the war event"
 There were rumors recently that the captain would soon see foreign service. He insisted upon an immediate mar riage and finally urged his pretty if ancee to marry him before his depart ure for across the sea. He is at pres ent stationed at Camp Kearney.
 Mrs. Luer is a native daughter of Arizona. She is an exceptionally charm ing young girl and a general favorite in this city where she made her home until a year ago. She left here to ac- cept a position with the Los Angeles Title and Trust company and her clev- erness in a business way combined with her natural graces makes her a fascinating young woman. Her family has lived in this city for years being 1 known as pioneer residents. 1 Captain Luer belongs to an ol6 southern California family and has l been in the service since the declara- i tion of war.

SAVE BOTTLES
 AND SAVE COST

Sometime ago City Dairy Inspector Jospeh P. Kehoe brought the dairy
 men of Phoenix together in a move
 ment to conserve milk bottles He pointed out that many dealers were
 serving milk daily in bottles other
 than their own. The dealers said
 this was almost necessary because of the fact that consumers paid little attention to seeing that bottles were
 returned to the dealers from which
 they came. Some consumers, the
 dealers said, were a burden ihstead d
 of a benefit to the business, because they kept or destroyed more bot ties than the business with then warranted.
 A bottle exchange was the out growth of the movement inaugurated ! by Inspector Kehoe. This exchange located on East Jackson street, re- ceives and sorts bottles of the
 various dealers. The dealers at
 regular intervals are expected to bring to the exchange depot all bot ties returned to them but not be- longing to them. Cases are pro- vided for each dealer in which their
 own bottles are placed as they are | returned The dealers agree that l VI N44i4C tlAlS pldil lieiS DtSLl tlllS pal lLlN
 worked out, it has already proven
 a great benefit to them in the say ing to them of the cost of many bottles.
 Another phase of the bottle situ- ation has been discovered. In the collection of garbage, those engaged in the work pick up dozens of milk
 bottles daily. Some of these have i been put to other uses than that for which they were intended. Some have soured milk still in them, others are partly filled with grease and dirt. This means that the dealers are again the losers and the con- sumers indirectly.
 If there was greater care in the return of all milk bottles,' said MT KehOe yesterday, 'it would mean ultimately a lowering in the price
 of milk to the consumer As it is
 now with bottles costing from 10 to 1 F cents each and with the losses mounting into many dollars the dealer has no other way to recuper-
 ate his loss than in higher charge 1 for his product"
 All of which leads up to the adop- l ton that if Mrs. Consumer would 1 have the price of milk lowered she must see to it that her milk bottles
 are returned promptly and to the dealer to which they belong.

Dr. A. \. Gurley has returned to Phoenix. He has had enough of it elsewhere the past few months and haa now determined that the Salt River valley is good enough for him-the best place on earth. Nor has he allowed it to go at that for he has brought with him Dr. 1. D.

Reynierson and Gurley have renewed their partnership here and have al ready opened a veterinarian office and hospital at sos North First street, the same site occupied by Dr. Gurley until he left here several months ago
