across the Somme from the region of
Peronno southwark and with the
enemys communicating lines either
in the hands of the allies and domi-
mated by their guns the retrograde
movement necessarily must be SLOW
Therefore, strong rear guard actions
are required to save large numbers of
men and guns and enormous quanti-
ties of stores from capture. The al
lied troops gradually are encircling
Koye and its capture, which seems
imminent will greatly heighten the
difficulties of the Germans in falling
back.
Intensive air fighting is proceeding
over the battle line. In Fridays bat
ties thirty nine German machines
we're destroyed and twenty two
driven down out of control. The
British war Office acknowledges that
twenty three British machines are
missing. Unofficial estimates bring
| the number of prisoners taken by the
allies up to $4,000 and the number of
| guns captured to more than 500.
| On the Vesle front the Germans on
| the northern side of the stream are
| reported to be entrenching and
! stretching barbed wire over the ter
| ritory where they are facing the
| French and Americans.

cording to stories told by her husband

believe she will recover from the effects
of the poison but feared that the baby
would not live through the night The
shooting took place at the homestead

ago According to the story learned by
a state officer from Pittsfield. Mr. Dunn
returned home this morning after an
absence of several days. He spoke to
his wife, who was preparing Breakfast
for the baby. and, it is alleged. she
threw the contents of the dish at her
husbands head. Then she ran up
stairs. where shots were heard Physi-
clans who were called arrived in time
to prevent the poison from taking fatal
effect on Mrs. Dunn.
