with. the American Army in
I France, April 28 (By the Associated
i Press s)-There was increased artil-
alery activity on the Toul sector today.
AT dawn the Germans began heavy
barrage against part of our line. This
Zas accompanied by intermittent ma
chine gun and rifle fire
The enemy's activity is taken to
mean that he is striving to keep the
Americans busy so they cannot be
sent north.
The French army today paid an
historic tribute to the United States
> when 1872 soldier sons of Massa-
*Ghusetts were decorated with the war
Cross for bravery displayed in recent
fighting. The ceremony which was
held on a picturesque field a short
distance from the front line trenches
was one of the most impressive in
which American soldiers have parti-
cipated since their entry into the
war.
One hundred and seventeen men
from the 104th Massa achusetts regi-
ment, who bore the brunt of the
G4rman attack In the Apremont
forest on April II, received medals,
as did five men of another regiment
who had participated in earlier fight
ing around scissors.
Here and there in the line of
heroes were spaces representing
Americans killed or wounded seri-
ously
at had been raining in the forenoon
but the sun broke through the gray
ash clouds when the 104th regiment,
which also was decorated as a unit,
passed in review before American
and French generals. Bands played
the "Star Spangled Banner" and the
"Marseillaise" while the American
and French flags waved proudly and
defiant1y within sound of the roar OF
German guns.
The French general in comforting
the decorations said of the regiment:
"It showed the greatest audacity
and a fine spirit of sacrifice. Sub

and attacked by large German forces,

The few civilian spectators who
witnessed the ceremony included sew
eral French women, residents of viii
lagos near the front. They cheered
fas the young Americans, wearing
full eauipneit and helmets, marched
by. Some Americans, attached to
other units, were greatly moved
when the band played the national
anthem They saw the bright new
flag and realized what their COM
rades had been through to merit the
honors. The general commanding the
American forces shook hands with
and smoke words of encouragement
to each of the men decorated, saying
It was the proudest moment of his

Phoenix: Clampett & Moss, the Los Angeles contractors who will drill the wells for the installation of pumping plants for the Water Users association, are expected to begin work right away. Their contract ne cessitates that they commence the drilling before the first of November and that they have it finished in nine months. While the goal set by tho board of governors is 60 wells, the contract calls for a minimum con struction of 30 wells. Part of these will be located north of Phoenix in the water-soaked region between the Grand and the Arizona canals, but the majority will be drilled south of the river where the underground water menace is greatest. Casing for the wells will be furnished by the Los Angeles Manufacturing company and will range in size from IS to 24 inches The water will be pumped by electric power and will be distributed through the canals for irrigation purposes to augment the supply from the reser- yoir, which has been considerably de- creased by the drought

SIGNS OF RETREAT.
(By Review l.eased Wire

WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN BELGIUM, Oct. 16.-(By the Asso- ciated Press. )-There are many signs that the Germans are planning a further withdrawal on this sector. Great streams of enemy traffic began moving last night and continued to- day on the roads around Courtrai and Harlebeke and on the railways run ing northeast.
 Trench mortars and direct machine gun fire are hampering the enemy transport. The German withdrawal continues in the Lille sector. but slowly.
 In the southern battle area there has been fighting of a minor char acter. More civilians have been rescued from towns. especially from Haussy. 4 I5J
 The British have established a bridge head south of the Lys near Werwicosout. After fighting all night and smashing forward for a gain of 7,OU0 yards, one British corps con- tlnued it's advance until it reached the banks of the Lys south of Court raj Another corps established itself between Heule and Courtrai.
 The village of Heetjen was cap tured after severe fighting in which the Germans suffered tremendous losses.

ALLIED TROOPS
 BUSY FIGHTING BOLSHEV|K ARMY
Americans in Battle Against Russian Terrorists, Mem bers Playing Heroic Part in Fighting
By Revlew Leased wire,

ARCHANGEL, Tuesday, Oct 15.- (By the Associated Press.) - Allied forces, Including Americans, are en- gagged in repulsing heavy Bolshevik1 attacks on both banks of the Dyina, l5O miles north Ketlass, in the north Russian fighting zone.
 The Americans and Russians have advanced in the direction of Welsk, northeast of Vologda.
 The Bolsheviki are striving to re- gain the positions which were won after hard fought strussIes by Amer jeans and Scotch on September 21. Under an almost constant lombard ment for more than a week the allies have repulsed many infantry attacks and inflicted considerable losses. These positions include villages on opposite sides of the Dyina river, both of which are on a high bluff at a strategic bend in the stream. Around this bend Bolsheviki gunboats, pro tected by mine fields and low, sandy island, have delivered bombardment with shells of all calibers.
 The allies, meanwhile have been forced to strive against the rapidly falling river, which is full of sand bars. The garrison, though greatly outnumbered in men and artillery, have struggled waist deep in the swamps and knee deep in the muddy. roads, capturing several guns and ma chine guns. American engineers, lieutenant and a few men crossed tha river under a heavy fire and rescued a gun from a disabled tug On which the Bolsheviki had centeTed their fire The next day the same lieutenant with a sergeant -bFaved the same dangers in an effort to repair tugs caught un- der a heavy shower of shrapnel fire. They tried to swim for the shore, but were swept away by the swift current and drowned.
 The Bolsheviki now are trying to spread their propaganda among the allied troops. Captured trenches and villages on the Dvina front were full of proclamatiOns printed ip English, asking the British and Americans not to fight These proclamations were laughed at by the British and Ameri cans and are particularly inconsistent with the Bolsheviki treatment of pris- oners, whom they many times have mutilated.

REASON FOR RETREAT. (By Review Leased Wire)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Oct. 16.-By the Associated Press. 1.-The entire subsistence of the German armies between Cambrai and the Mouse must pass through two narrow routes by way of Hirson and Mezieres. These are the two lines upon which the security of the Ger man armies now depends, and it is toward those two lines that the French and Americans in Champagne, and the British and French region of Cambrai and Guise, have been ad- vancing.
 The most plausible reason for general retreat of the German armies is the necessity of reducIng the dis tance between them and two points, both of which are already remotely threatened. and to parry the danger of their being bottled up and cap tured The only alternative would have been the engagement of their entire reserves in, a dsperate pitched battle in the forlorn hope of wrestling from the allies the initiative in opera tions for the balance of the fighting season.
 Military experts who regard the German sretreat as that of a com pletely defeated force, attribute the German reverse first to the desperate game riskd by Ludendort in the spring in throwing in and compromis- ing the greatest part of his strength in an attempt to gain a quick and de- cisive result, which left his forces ex- hausted. second 10 the discourage ment of the German soldier, disap- pointed in the promises held out to him in March of an early peace; third, 10 Ludendorffs tactics of attacks over restricted fronts in mass, pursued to the exhaustion of the forces engaged; and, fourth, to the success of Marsha. FOch's tactics of harrassing the enemy without respite at many diff ferent points simultaneously. making it impossible for the enemy to bring mp reserves to all the threatened po- sitions

holds out long enough and the ad- vance continues at the present rate of speed the Germans will soon have lost control of great stretches of Bel gium, especially the cost, which is im- portant for submarines, aside from stretches of northern France from where, all rules of tactics and strategy demand, they must evacuate as being outflanked with their lines turned So far as is known, the Germans have not any formidable lines in their rear where they can find refuge.
 Moreover, the German high com mand is not in a position to send re- Inducements of any consequence to Flanders, as they are all needed and fully occupied elsewhere along the front.

 uable, for the place being northwest of Turcoing the allied troops are grad uaIly outflanking the entire Lille sa- lient, from which there are further signs that the enemy is withdrawing. As a matter of fact, his troops in this salient are in an extremely precarious position They must get out rapidly or face disastrous consequences.
 A thousand more prisoners and many more cannon have been cap tured. The Germans at many places, especially in the northern part of the battle area, seem to be surrenderins freely. Many more civilians have been rescued from the towns and dis tricts captured and little processions of these are struggling rearward out of range of the guns and out of the way of the fighting troops. Stories are beginning to come back how lib erated Belgian women have seen their sons, brothers or husbands going for ward into battle.
 Quite a number of civilians also have been rescued from Roulers and its environs, the Germans having left in such a hurry that they had not time to remove the civilians who wanted to stay and take a chance of being liberated. Today these men, women and children are again walk ing on the free soil of France.
 The Germans appear to be making strenuous efforts to save their muni- tions and equipment and their ma terial, the accumulation of four years, from the coast districts of Belgium. The roads behind the Germans are filtered with all sorts of transports and allied airplanes are again playing havoc with the retreating enemy.
 The weather today was cloudy. but thus far no more rain has fallen. However. Flanders is mud from one end to the other and this condition makes movement difficult for the al- lied troops. The ooze and soft ground mcke it dOubly difficult for the enemy to move back. Therefore, the allied soldiers have put up with great hard ships for they realize that they have the enemy on the run in the most vital section of the west front and do not desire to let him have a chance to reassemble his tattered units. Out side Courtrai the infantry has prog ressed about three miles and here have been compelled to fight their way forward, for the Germans had orders to hold on to the last and they did so. Not many of those who had been stationed with machine guns to try to hold up the advance of the allied troops managed to escape.
 At the Thielt positions the French cavalry bas begun to come into a country where the ground and roads are harder, allowing them to operate more freely. It is through this gap that the Germans throughout the en- tire Belgian coast system must go if they wish Co save themselves, pro- viding. of course. the advance con tinues incidentally every yard of ad. vance here narrows the enemy's es- cape gap.
 It would seem that if the weather

(Continued from Page Ono taken up with the examination of Lewis Lowenthal, the governors pri- vate secretary, who proved to be a man of marvellous memory. He boast ed that his memory was trained in the immigration service and he therefore was able to remember details of the conversation between Hunt and Pro lessor Harold G. Lawrence, who gave Colonel Breem, defendant in the pres ent libel case, the information upon which the alleged libelous article was based.
 Where Lowenthal Was
 The governor had testified that Lo- wenthal stood in the door during the conversation Lowenthal testified that he stood inside the door and may have sat on a desk. His remarkable memory did not recall whether Lo- wenthal sat or stood. He remembered preceding Lawrence by thirty seconds out of the governors office but was unable to fix the exact date by three weeks.
 Says Suspected Lawrence
 The most remarkable statement made by Lowenthal was that he was suspicious of Professor Lawrence though this was the first time he had seen him. The only reason for his sus- picion was the effusive manner of Lawrence That was the reason he gave for going into the governors of flee.
 The case will go to the jury tomor- row.
