American cavalry is patrolling the
Fismes region. Rain is still falling
and all roads are semi-rivers. Fields
are soft under foot, men and horses
sinking deep in the mud at every step.
The banks Of the Vesle are more
marshy than ever, making operations
slower and more difficult.
In spite of these handlcaps the
Americans continue to feel out the
German line constantly, pressing for
ward. The Vesle in this region is about
10 meters (about 30 feet) wide. and is
swift and deep. Crossings were made
however, over partially wrecked
bridges the men climbing over the
wreekage that still protruded above
water.
Stiff fighting marked the taking of
Fismes. The Boches had extensive ma
chine gun defenses and rather heavy
artillery concentrations. Extended artil-
lery preparation preceded the Ameri-
can attack smashing one of the ma
chine gun nests and putting few
batteries out Of action. Then the in
fantry stormed the others, fighting
partly through -the streets and partly
in the open, and driving the enemy be-
yond the river which divided the town.
Another smash threw the Boches COM

pletely out of the city except for the
snipers.
Just prior TO the attack OF Fismes
the. Americans inflicted bloody losses on
the enemy as the latter retreated down
the heights south of the town. Our
riflemen and machine gunners opened
up a deadly fire and soon carpeted the
hillside with German dead and
wounded.
Fismes was held by a German regt
ment with a special machine gun de.
tachment which, according TO prison
ers, formed part OF the reserves OF
Crown Prince Rupprechts armies. The
majority Of prisoners are between 1s
and 20 years old
Their best have been killed and re-
placements have been made from
young. reserve divisions. Included
among the enemy divisions in this re-
gion, however, are some Of the crack
guard regiments, as well as other
types Of their best troops.
The Americans are improving in their
work of cleaning up machine gun po-
sitions without heavy losses. Every
day they are encountering tricks new
to them, but are meeting them By
springing new tricks of their own.
The Boches strung quantities ef
barbed wire in the Vesle, but IL did not
retard the Americans crossing. POSI-
bly, due to the nature Of their hasty
retreat, the enemy left none Of the dew
ilish devices behind that characterized
their retreat before the British on the
Somme. Every grenade or suspicious
looking article found in any Of the
houses is carefully handled. In the
meantime careful search is being made
in all Of the captured for spies. The
Boches have a trick of leaving a spy in
French or American uniform hidden in
town, to come out after Allied occu-
patton.

FALSE STATEMENTS

more Familiarity as George viches. a
Greek hotelman at Rieth was arrest
ed this morning and. upon waiving
preliminary hearing, was bound over
to the grand jury under $4,000 bonds.
The Greek Is accused of making
false statements in his QUESTIONABLE
but he maintains that any misstate-
ments he made were through ignor-
ancs and misunderstanding rather
than through desire to evads the
draft
The district attorney claims that in
his QUESTIONABLE Karcavichos statea
that he is not a citizen, whereas the
records in the clerks office show that
he had taken out his first papers. In
those papers he gave his birth as 1887
but In his QUESTIONABLE he gave It as
1884.
He declares that he knows but lit
tie OF the language or laws of this
country and did not know that ts
had taken out his first citizenship PAL
pers. He states that he applied two
years ago for a hunting license but
was told that. being an alien. he
could not secure a license without
first signing some papers. He signed
the papers. he says, TO get the Ii
ccnse and did not realize they were
citizenship papers. Asked relative TO
the discrepancy between his state
ments as to his age. he declares the
young lady who made out his firsa
papers misunderstood him and put
the year down as 1887 instead OF
1884. He registered last spring.
though he claims to be 80, stating
that some of his capntrymen advised
him to do SO and that he was NOT IA.

effective war basis. He forecast the
continuation Of federal control when
he said congress shouldn't limit gov

licve in government ownership, but
believes in a greater measure of feo-
eral control hereafter. Isc said Fuel
Administrator Garfield's order would
probably be discontinued after thirty
days.
He said the fact the government
was guaranJe eeing ompensatioh
makes it unwise to leave the right
to determine to any degree what the
roads earn to state commissions.
He said harbor conditions and trans
