Americans Fighting Vaiantly
Against Superior Numbers

withdrawal Scores of British-mad
tanks. many of them manned by
American crews, are cooperating In
the American advance. One of these
rolled over a mine and was blown up,
one casualty resulting. The others
got through and did splendid execu-
ton.
These American tank crews were
trained in England and had been
waiting behind the front for the at
tacks. They rolled along before the
infantry and directly in the rear of
a creeping barrage and cleared many
machine gun nests.
After the manner of the British. the
Americans drove their machines right
on top of the Germans, crushing down
men, guns and nests. Some of the
crews came out of the fight with
their tractors dripping with blood,
showing how completely they had
accomplished the task assigned to

Advance Along Vesle.
Along the vesle Gen. Berthelot's
opposition, have everywhere advanced
I beyond Revillon.
Gen. Berthelot's men have virtually
traversed the hills between Rheims and
the Aisne. On that river they hold the
left bank as far east as Concevreux and
have taken Boucaincourt, Hervelon,
Trigny and st. Thierry. They also are
in La Neuvillette, a mile and a half
northwest of Rheims.
Gen. Gouraud. attacking along his
whole front in the Champagne sector,
advanced north Of Azure to within a
thousand yards of Liry. Further east
, even more important results were OBJ
, tanned in the advance north of Boucon-
Vile and Binairville. His line was
pushed on to Faux and Lancon, crowd
ing the Grand-Pre gap and putting the
German forces west of the Monthois-
Vouzieres line into a most awkward
position.
Their communications with the
forces operating in Argonne forest
| and east of it are virtually cut, which
! means that this region becomes un-
| tenable. German counter attacks in
the region south of Liry were repulsed
with severe losses to the enemy after
sharp engagements.
Fine Endurance of French.

spirit of endurance displayed by the
French troops swas given on the

tinued to advance today against the

ed Press).-Gen. Berthelot's troops,
widening the front Of attack this aft
ernoon, made further gains. occupying
important observation points that give
them views eastward upon the group
northward toward the Chemin-d es-
Danes.
Three thousand prisoners were taken
over this front of about five miles.
Revillon and Glennes were taken.
while farther east the Beauregard
farm, a. most excellent observation
point was occupied. Another COM
manding position that fell into the
hands Of Gen. Berthelot's men was
Hill No. 1853, east of Roman, which
gives them an excellent view through
the group of hills north of Montigny.
Foe Resistance Great.
Gen. Berthelot's operations here re-
call somewhat those of Gen. Mangin in
the region of the Observation-Disclosures.
He is attacking a most formidable po-
sition, which is almost turned from the
west, Berthelot having advanced with
in a short distance of the valley of the
Aisne. The resistance of the Germans
was very great, as the number of pris-
oners indicates.
Gen. Gouraud's Gains.
East of Rheims Gen. Gouraud, in
addition to taking large number of
prisoners and guns. has captured great
quantities of booty, including more
than goo narrow-gauge railroad cars.
Additional prisoners were taken Mon
day in the capture of Binarville, in
the Argonne forest, and in the occu-
patton of Narvaux and Azure, to the

LIVESTOCK COMPANY
ACCUSED OF fraud
Deeds To Land Bear Forged
Or Ficticious Signatures
Says Expert

After nearly a year s investigation,
I. Kytka, prominent hand writing ex-
pert of San Francisco, has submitted
to Attorney General Brown a report
showing that the Palcific Livestock
company is in possession of thousands
of acres of land in Harvey county
which were obtained through deeds
bearing forged or fictitious signatures.
His report lists 1880 acres the
deeds for which bear names that he
pronoun,es to be either forged or fax
ed or very doubtful as to their genu-
ineness.
The attorney general will submit the
report to the state land board. under
whose jurisdiction comes the suit
brought by the state against the Pa
cific Livestock company to recover
thousands of acres alleged to have been
from the state through fraud.
1t is up to the board to decide whether
the suit shall be pushed or dropped.
Governor WithycOmbe has sought in
the past to have the suit dismissed, and
the last legislature, because of the pol.
tiles that were dragged into the mat
ter, refused to make an appropriation
to meet tho expenses of the litigation,
but with the showing now at hand it is
expected the land board can do moth
ing less than authorize the attorney
general to proceed with the case.
With Mr.. Kytka.'s report furnishing
tho evidence he desired, the attorney
general is now ready to proceed with
the prosecution of the case. 1t will be
necessary to amend the complaint or
dismiss the present suit and file new
complaint as the present complaint is
based on a wrong theory of the ease.
1t was filed in the circuit court for
Harney county by Former Attorney
General Crawford at the direction of
