Dawn Of New Day in Literature

THE writer once asked man of fourscore
years why it was that the country pro-
duced more OF genius, no towering
intellects such as had caused the admiration
and wonder Of men not only of their age,
but OF ours. The old gentleman, out of the
richness OF his experience, said that the change
was due to the times, for, said he times

years before the present war, and the idea
intended to he conveyed was that in tempest

as an idcr. Hours he spent lying along the
banks of his beloved South Anna waiting for
the elusive club to bite at his hook But his

the surrounding forest, and he dreamed the
dream OF liberty. But the time came and
his genius burst forth to startle the people of
thirteen colonies. But for the occasion no
would have died in obscurity.

seven fine, expensive Girls.

BATTLE FRONT
GREATLY REDUCED
Line in France Measures Only
200 Miles.
80 U. $. DIVISIONS
American Troops Took FrapelIe-
Capture OF Town Eliminated
Sharp salient-s2 U. S.
Divisions Over.

Washington-Allie successes on
the Marine, in Picardy and in Flanders
in recent operations have resulted in
contraction of the Western battle
front by more than SO miles, General
March, Chief Of Staff, announced. The
Allies in engagements conducted this
week, he added, have maintained
their possession of the initiative by
making attacks on limited fronts and
at widely separated points.
At the beginning of the German of.
fensive in March, the battle front in
France measured $50 miles; today it
is less than 200 miles in length and
the latest British gains are reducing
it further.
Summarizing the results of recent
operations, he pointed out that the
Flanders salient had been flattened
out by the enemy retiring from one to
two miles on 14-mile front; on the
plains of Roye the line had been put
well back of the old 1916-1917 line,
and between the Aisne and the Disc
the French have carried the line for
ward four miles to the plains sur
rounding the city of Noyon, which is
only four miles beyond.
Capture of the town of Frapelle, in
the Vosges, the chief of staff said, had
resulted in the elimination of a very
sharp salient. This. operation was
carried out by the Fifth American
Division of regulars. which has been
under Major General John E. Nc
Mahon.
Thirty-two American divisions have
arrived in France, General March said.
They are the First to Sixth, inclusive,
of regulars; the Twenty-sixth, Twenty
seventh, Twenty-eighth, Twenty-ninth,
Thirtieth, Thirty-second, Thirty-third,
Thirty-fifth, Thirty-sixth, Thirty
seventh, Forty-first and Forty-second
National Guard, and the Seventy
sixth to Eighty-third, inclusive, and
the Eighty fifth, Eighty-ninth. Nine
tieth, Ninety-first, Ninety-second and
Ninety-third National Army.
Transportation of troops under the
enlarged military program is depend,
ent, in the main, upon the ability of
the Government to secure adequate
shipping, General March frankly said
While the Shipping Boards deliveries
were constantly growing, more ton
mage will have to be chartered and
hired to carry out the present
schedule. General March mentioned
incidentally that Brazil had given the
United States a vessel for two trips
without compensation.

ALLIES SWEEP ON
TAKE 5000 MORE
French Win in Hard Fight South
of Roye.
THE GERMAN PLANS FAIL
Splendid Victories BY French Tenth
Army Under General Margin
French Take Nezaponin And
Progress Toward Camein.

London.-From Scissors to the Bel
gian border the German armies in
various important sectors are being
put to the test by the French and
British. And it is test that SEEM
ingly bodies ill for the Teutonic arms,
for nowhere have they been able to
sustain the shocks.
Northwest of Scissors, from the
Aisne to the Disc, north of the Disc
to the region around Roye; in the
Arras sector and northward on the
famous Lys salient the Germans ev-
erywhere have been compelled to fall
back under the pressure of the French
and British troops.
In new offensive launched by Cen
eral Mangin over front of approx
mately fifteen and half miles, from
Bailly on the Disc to the Aisne, near
Scissors, the French, in bitter fight
ing, have carried forward their, line
to an average depth of two and half
miles, and in the first phases of the
l.
sion numerous enemy-held villages
and farms. In addition, more than
5000 Germans. had been herded be-
hind the line prisoner.
At last reports Mangin's men were
still hard after the enemy, and IN
official accounts placed the French on
various sectors well in advance of the
positions outlined in the French Off
cial communication.
Along the Scarpe River, east of
Arras, Field Marshal Haig's forces
also have kept up their harassing
tactics against the enemy, who has
been compelled to fall back eastward
along the Scarpe River. The Ger
mans resisted vigorously, but all to
no purpose, and the British advanced
their lines to the east of the village
of Fampoux. Although Haig claims
only slight forward movement here,
particular significance attaches to it
by reason of the fact that the Ger
mans have been driven back until
they are virtually upon the old battle
line as it stood in December, 1917
Northward the Lys salient again
has been narrowed down by the OPP
erations of the British, who north of
Merville, have taken the villages of
Vierhoek and LaCouronne, and also
reached the hamlet of L'Epinette.
This gain represents forward
movement of about a mile and a half
and places the British astride the
road running southeastward to Es-
taires.
Taken all in all, the new victories
of the Allied troops are highly i'm
portant. ones. The advance of the
French northwest of Scissors, taken
in conjunction with the successful
maneuvers on the Lassigny sector
and south of Roye, where Beuvraignes
has been captured, seemingly means
that the enemy forces from the
Somme to the Disc soon must give up
their positions and retreat eastward.
The Germans still are stubbornly
contesting with the British points of
vantage on the line. south of the
Somme, near Chaulnes, and north of
,Roye, which are still in German hands
and which are the keystones to the
enemy defense line.
