Advance SLOWS UP.
(By the Associated Press.)
AS the allied armies draw nearer to
Cambria, st. Quentin and the natural
defensive positions of the Germans in
the st. Gobain forest, the offensive
movement begins to lose much of the
momentum it gained and maintained
while less important enemy positions
were being taken. Slow progress con-
tinues to be made by Field Marshal
Haig's British forces in the direction
of Cambria and st. Quentin. and if the
operations of the French armies under
General Humbert and General Mangin
are successful in oveWunning or en-
circling the st. Gobain massif, the
German retreat must begin anew and
with greater rapidity than at any
time since the allied counter offensive
started in the middle of July.
Cambria and st. Quentin. the in1me-
diate detectives of the British forces
in the present phase of the offensive
movement. are almost within striking
distance. The British are within six
miles of st. Quentin at Villevque, and
they have captured Roisel and st.
Emile. Along the line between Cam
brai and st. Quentin the British ad-
vance has carried them into their old
positions from which they wer driven

by the Germans.

The Germans evidently realizing
that little less than disaster would
follow the fall of the st. Gebian forest,
have stiffened their defensive by TAX
ing advantage of the natural posi-
lions.
Strong counter attacks against the
French near Laffaux and north of
Celles-Sur-Aisne seem to bear out the
belief that the Germans will not give
up st. Gobian without a struggle. In

The Potomac Electric Light and

efforts to keep pace with demand for
electric current for light and power.

far into 1919, when the urgency of
service demands will be greatly in

the various street railways served by
the corporation this demand was also
lodged.
The big turbine now awaits in
stallation. 1t will cost in position
about 100000.
Officials of the electric light and
power corporation now admit that
this big unit will not give the needed
service into 1919. For that reason an
order has been placed for a 10000
kilowatt unit. which will be installed
next year, to cost $1.000,00o.

The 1918 increase in power had
been planned so that in the event of

the company a surplus power of con-
siderable proportions. but with the

future seem likely.

It has been suggested to the local
administration to ask the ice cream
manufacturers to close down entirely
until next Wednesday or such time
when all danger Of an ice famine is
past. Such a step was taken in Bal
timore yesterday. The situation be-
came SO acute there that the authori-

facturers for assistance, and they vol
unteered to close down for three days.
This will result in about 5000. 900 ad-
ditional pounds of ice being placed on
the Baltimore market for household
use for the three days.
The labor situation is one OF the
