CARDINAL FARLEY
DIES OF PNEUMONIA
CBy Associated Press.)

MAMARoNECK, N. Y, Sept 1S-
Cardinal John NJ. Farley, archbishop
of New York. died at his country home
Tuesday night. The aged prelate had
been sinking rapidly since he suffered
a relapse Saturday, following partial
recovery from an attack of pneumonia.
Three years ago an acute case OF
heart disease left the cardinal in a
weakened condition. and last year he
suffered an attack of diabetes. These
affections, it was said, led to a general
breakdown last month, when pneumO-
mia developed.

Is growing that an operation of majo
proportions may have been begur
there. The front where the fighting i!
going on is almost shut off from tn,
world, and except for official reports
there are few details known as to tn,
progress of the entente forces. 1t ap
pears, however, that the attack which
was launched on Sunday is still goins
on and is gaining important grounG
just to the east of Monistir.
Sofia admits that the allies have
been successful at some points ant
says that the Bulgarian troops have
been withdrawn to positions further
north. This may be taken as confirm
alton of the reports from allied sourc
es telling of the success of the drive
over the high ridges, which the Teu
tonic powers have held for the pas
eight months or more.
Last reports from the Macedonian
front would seem to indicate that the
rather restricted front over which
the first assault was launched Is now
being heightened, especially to the
east. Maps of the region where the
battle is being fought show that the
allies have carried valuable positions

that they have passed through the

July 18 Attack First Step.
Two months ago this morning, the
allies struck the western flank of the
German forces in the Marne. salient.
At the time that General Mangin
hurled the French and American arm
les in that sector against the enemy
the movement was believed to be but
a counter-offensive. and that Marshal
Foch had merely seized upon the op-
portunity presented by the German
offensive begun on July Is to strike
a blow that might defeat that effort to
capture Rheims and perhaps to drive
the German wedge nearer to Paris.
Viewed in the light of events that
have since transpired, the attack
against the Germans on July IS was
really the first step in a mastery
campaign which has not only wrested
the initiative from the Germans. but
has forced them back along the line
from Ypres to Rheims to virtually the
lines where they stood before they
began their mightiest drive of the war
on March 81. With the exception OF
narrow strips of ground in the Flan-
ders sector from east of Bapaume to
the ST. Gotain forest and along the
Aisne between VauXaillon and Rheims,
the German successes of the spring
and early summer have been liquidat
ed In addition, the Germans have
lost vital positions before Arras. have
been forced to retreat from the St
Mihiel salient, which for four years
stood like an arrow pointed at the
heart OF eastern France.
American, British and French
forces have been carrying ont sue
cessful 'nibbling" operations along al
the lines.
They have won local successes al
! various points. The history of Foch'!
campaign since July 1S would appear
to indicate that the allies will no
| hesitate long before striking new
blow somewhere along the front.

Use Big Buns Against British.

Use Big Buns Against British.
To the north the Germans are using
their big guns accurately against :he
British line. Tuesday evening the
Germans attacked Moeuvre west OF
Cambrai, and pressed the British back
to the western outskirts. Apparently
the enemy is determined to hold his
ground on the line between the Scar.
pc and the Disc.
The attempt to attack was made
Tuesday evening and the enemy did
not follow up the repulse with any
further movement toward the Ameri'
can line. In Macedonia the allied
drive is progressing. Serbian and
French troops after taking the import
ant Sokol ridge. have pressed on near
ly five miles on front of more than
Is miles.
1000 Prisoners Taken.
The prisoners taken have reached
1000 and 80 guns, also have been cap
tured. The early successes of rhe al
lied troops may lead to a general Of
fensive in this area with the purpose
OF cutting off Turkey. "A movement
of this character carried to compile
tion would crush Bulgaria and free
Serbia and large part of the oppres-
! sed nationalities of the Balkans.
German infantry attempted 10 at
tack the American line west OF The
Moselle and southwest of Metz Tues
day evening but enemy troops We're
driven back by the fire of the Ameri-
can artillery.
When observers reported that a
light line of German infantrymen was
approaching the American big guns
threw terrific barrage into that
area. There were no further move
ments by the enemy.
Observers reported this morning
that there were no living Germans in
the region where they were cited last
night Quite number of dead. how
ever, were seen.
Fail to Find Target.
German aviation machine gunrers
and bambers attacked what they sup
posed to be the American position IN
the region in the west of Nameleres
last night. The mist and low clouds.
however, prevented the Germans from
finding their target.
The Germans themselves were To-
Gated and driven back by anti-aircraft
fire.
German troops last night launched
violent counter attacks against the
French position on the platetu north
east of Sancy seven miles northeast
of Sossons The French war office
statement issued today says that the
German attacks were unsuccessful
and that the French troops maintained
their gains.
