some point in the south. probably Sedan or Metz, and stabilize it, for the moment at least. to the Swiss frontier.
 In France, east of Lillie to Cam brIa, the British slowly but sure ly are pressing forward despite SUI preme efforts of the enemy to hold them, plotting out the big salient which has Tournai as its northern and Naliennes as it's southern army held bases. To the collapse of this salient Marshal Haig, with whose forces Americans are bri- gaded, is driving hard along the BOhain-Le Cateau front in q ma- neuyer which is meeting with sue cess and throwing VaIiennes into n dangerous pocket. In the south the sack bevween the Disc and the Serre rivers north of LaOn, the Germans slowly are withdrawing toward Hirson and impeding the British progress with strong rear guards. Likewise, in Cham pagne the Germans are offering strong resistance against the French and Americans in their af- tempts to drive nOrthward toward Meticres and Sedan. The French, nevertheless, have been able to cross the Aisne river near Nou- ziers and thus have made more secure the positions of the Franco- American forces in the valley of the Aire at Grand Pre-.
 To the east the Americans on both sides of the Mouse river ar slowly going forward. Between the great wooded bastion and the Mouse picked troops have been chosen to fend the blow BOrthward fOvar Sedan. All the ground that is be- ing won Is being valiantly defended to the last.
 In the Macedonian theatre the Greeks are now i'm full possession of Greek Macedonia. Albania is fast being cleared of the enemy and In Serbia the TeutOnic allied forces have been driven 30 miles north of Nish.

The Belgian coast again is Bell gian.
 Germany's dream of an invasion of England across the North sea from Calais Is ended.
 Belgian Flanders is fast being evacuated by the enemy. and his line from the Belgian frontier to the Mouse river gradually is giving way under the attacks of the Brit ish, French and American armies, which are demanding to be served with victory.
 A haven of safety in shorter and more compact line is being sought by the Germans in order to escape annihilation by their foes. Everywhere they are being whipped but seemingly they are still far from defeat,
 In Belgium the enemy is giv- ing ground hastily i'm order to bring his armies safely out of inc trap which menaces them; but from the French frontier to the Mouse river he still is fighting desperate ly to hold back the lower jaw of the great Foch pincer from clos ing in a great cOnverging movement and entrapping in it's jaw the Ger man fighting force in it's entirety. And thus far he has successfully, through the use of picked troops and machine gunners, who know de- feat only in death, warded off the cuiminating blow.
 Xeebrugge, Germanyss second great submarine base on the North sen, has gone the way of Ostend. The flag of Belgium once more flies over it.
 To the south BruEes has been evacuated and TurcOing, Surbsix and other towns have been deIiy- cred. Out of the great sack be- tween the North sea and the Lys river the enemy is fleeing fast in an endeavor to prevent capture or interment in Holland.

MRS. WALKERS EXPERIENCE

Mrs Walker of Lewisburg had two very unusual but pleasing experiences yesterday. She had canvassed every house in her district where she thought it possible to sell bond, and lacking $250 of her quota was wondering how she would make 1t up. While immersed in her thoughts she, quite through force of habit, knocked at the door of a house and a middle-aged woman re- spending, she began her "speeP' about Liberty Bonds. Going back into the house the woman returned a moment later to buy bond She paid over $25 as first payment. Of this amount $16 was in buffalo nickles. which she had saved out of her house money with the intention of investing them in Uncle Sam's securities.
 A short distance from this house, with $200 yet to go, Mrs Walker was hailed by a man who asked if she had any bonds for sale. Receiving an af- firmative answer, he subscribed for $200, thereby completing Mrs. Walkers g quota.
 She lost no time in reporting to Mrs. Shell that Lewisburg was entitled to be rated with the honor communities. Those assisting Mrs Walker in can vassing the Lewisburg district were; Mrs. A. Cowgirl, Mrs. A. T. Hogan and
