A study of the map of the region where the struggle is going on shows that along the line from Jaulgonne northwest to Oulchy le Chateau, just north of the Ourcq, or even farther the Allies have pressed ahead during the last two days. As nearly as the location of the contending forces can be determined at present, the Ger mans have been forced back or have retired over much of this line a dis tance of nearly three miles since Tuesday.
 North of the Ourcq river the situa- ton is obscure, owing to the lack of details given out through official re- ports or press dispatches. It may be said, however, that for the mo- ment the line from Soissons south ward to the Ourcq has reached a state of equilibrium and that the deadlock between the offense of the Allies and the defense of the Germans will probably continue until the for mer bring up sufficient fresh troops to break the line at some vital point.

MANY ALARMS KEEP FIREMEN
 ON THE JUMP

This was a busy day for the fire fighters of the city as they were kept on the jump since two o'clock this morning. About two hours after ex- tinguishing a blaze at the Bridgeport Brass company's Union plant, a call was sent in from Box S2 which brought the apparatus to 547 Housa- tonic avenue where the roof of a house was ab1aze. Only chemicals were used Tn extinguishing this fire which caused damage amounting to $50.
 Shortly after noon an alarm was rung in from Box 47 on Ogden and Jane street This fire threatened to assume serious proportions as it started on the third floor of an eight family dwelling under which Is row of stores.
 It appears the fire got it's start in a clothes closet and although the fire men were on the scene in a short while the flames did damage to the building amounting to $200 and to the furniture and personal effects in the apartment to the extent of $250 The apartment is occupied by John Glad stein and his family and the building is owned by E. L. Sullivan. A few minutes after this alarm was sent in a false alarm was pulled by a small boy at Box 431 situated at
 East Main and Ogden streets.

(Continued From Fage One)

(Continued From Page One) women concerned. The tactics of the young rebels who forced a strike in Birmingham and Coventry against the advice of responsible leaders make not for democracy or Socialism, but straight for anarchy and Bolshevik- ism"
 Meanwhile dissension is created in the trade union ranks by the action of the strikers and in many parts of the country the conduct of the Gov entry and Birmingham men is de- nounced hotly. Even in Birmingham itself many of the engineers refuse to be stumped into an irresponsible strike On the Clyde there seems no sign of sympathy with the strikers and work there is continuing smooth ly The same may be said of many other centers.
 On the other hand 5000 notices to cease work on Tuesday were handed in in Manchester, where the Amalga- mated engineers have a membership of 15, 900. It is declared that a ma jority will join the strike unless the embargo is removed.
 It is reported also that the engineers in Newcastle have decided to follow the strike lead without waiting action by the national conference. The men in Lincoln did not go on strike We'd nesday as threatened but will await the result of the conference.

COUSIN OF GEAR IN BRITISH ARMY
 HEIR TO THRONE

London, July 25-The former Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovitch, cousin of the late Russian emperor, has just been appointed an honorary captain in the British army. Dmitri ac- cording to the Daily Telegraph was present at the famous supper at the palace of Prince Youssoupoff in Pe- trograd which resulted in the death of the priest Rasputin. He was ar rested on the order of the Russian empress and was banished by the en- peror to the Persian front He owes his personal safety to the fact that he was on the Persian front when the revolution broke out.
 The Daily Express says that if the report of the death of the former heir apparent Alex is true, Dmttri .s heir to the Russian throne as the sons of Grand Duke Vladimir Alex androvitch lost their right to success sion some years ago.
