HUNS ON THE RUN
ON 2O-M|lE FRONT.
CAVALRY HUSTLlNG RETREATING
FOE IN WHAT VIRTUALLY
AMOUNTS TO A ROUT.
Cambria and Score Of Towns Cap.
tured in One Of the Most Success
full Days Of Big Drive East
of Hindenburo Line.

!. With the Army in France.-The Ger
man armies are in full flight before the
British, American and French forces
ON the front between Cambria and st.
Quentin. Cambria, the strong point
Of the enemy in this region, has been
taken by the Canadians in it's entirety,
and north. of Cambria the Canadians
have deeply penetrated the German
line.
Out in the open, east of what once
was the old Hindenburg line, cavalry
is hustling the retreating foe in what
virtually amounts to rout. So fast
is the retreat that columns Of the
allied troops in parade formation have
passed through numerous villages,
completely out of contact with the
Germans.
More than 10000 prisoners, and be-
tween 100 and 200 guns were cap
tured in Tuesdays fighting, and the
continuation of the battle Wednesday
resulted in further large captures.
In the fighting, twenty-three German
diyisions-more than quarter OF a
million men---have been severely man
handled.
The. Germans are declared to be
fleeing to the east of LIE Cateau, one
of the most important railroad centers
in this region.
Behind them the Germans are leav-
ing the country devastated, burning
towns and villages as they flee.

CENTER OF MANY LEGENDS
Famous Dome Of the Rock, In the Holy
Land, Has Long Been Held
Sacred Place.

The Mussulman's grief at the fall Of
Jerusalem is largely conferred in the
fate of the Dome of the Rock. For
centuries devout Mohammedans have
journeyed to this spot, which they
count second only to the holy places Of
Mecca in religious significance.
Directly under the rounded dome
topped with the Turkish crescent is the
sacred rock about which a host Of ira
ditions-Jewish, Christian and Mo-
hammedan-have been collected. From
this rock Mohammed assembled into
heaven on his steed Ell Borak, the light
ming. Here also, If tradition is worth
anything, rested Noah's ark, and Jacob
saw the angelic vision. This spot is
IS miles. nearer heaven than any 9th
er on the earth, and the Turks accept
the old Jewish theory that this is the
center Of the earth. Here on the judg-
ment day will the angel Gabriel stand
when he sounds his trumpet.
There is little room for argument
over these statements. You accept or
reject them as you will. But long and
heated have been the learned disser-
tations to decide whether this identical
spot, already overcrowded with asso-
Citations, is the site Of Solomon's tenn
pie or of the tomb of Christ. Science
now leans toward the former conclu-
sion and grants that very likely the
rock marks the place where stood the
altar of the famous Jewish temple.
Even for a confirmed skeptic the
place must hold some interest, for the
structure protecting the rock is a
worthy rival Of the Tai Mahal in beau
ty Of design. The building is octagon-
al like mosque and popularity called
the Mosque of Omar, to the distress
Of the well informed, who point out
that it is only a shrine and that the
true Mosque of Omar is a small vault
like building in no way connected with
the sacred rock.
Mohammedan worship is as yet un-
disturbed by the viceroy Of the Chris
tians, the chief difference being that
the Mohammedan is now the tenant
and the unbeliever the landlord.

ONLY NEEDED TO BE FED
Simple Reason Why Imported Engine
Could Not Be Persuaded to
Do Its Duty.

The first locomotive used on the
Champlain & st. Lawrence railroad
came from Europe, accompanied by an
engineer who, for some unexplained
reason, had it Gagged and secreted from
public view. The trial trip was made
by moonlight, in the presence Of few
interested persons, and 1t Is not de-
scribed as q success. Later, the i'm
ported engineer made several attempts
to set the Ktten-for such was the
nickname applied to this pioneer loco
motive-in motion toward st. Johns,
but in vain; the engine proved refrac-
tory, and horses were temporarily sub
stituted for it.
Meanwhile, the railroad officials call
ed in practical engineer from the
United States, who announced that the
engine, which was thought to be hope
Iessly unmanageable, was in good or
der and required only plenty Of wood
and water. His opinion proved cor
rect, for after little practice the en-
CINE attained the extraordinary speed
of 20 miles an hour !-Prout's Railways

GERMANS CONTINUE
 TO TAKE BELGIANS
Compel Them to Work and Live in
 Unsuitable Camps

Washington. July 12,-The minis ter Of Belgium in Washington, D. C., has prepared the following from ma terial received from the Belgian gov ernment regarding the deportation and forced labor inflicted on Belgian civilians, by order of tho German government.
 '''The last information, which has reeched the Belgian government at Le Havre. France, from occupied Bel gium, shows that deportation and forced labor are still being carried on. especially in the military zone which comprises the two Flanders and q great part of the provinces of Hainaut, Hamur, and Luxemburg
 But depOrtations and forced labor have at present assumed q new char Rcter. The BeIgians, instead of be- Ing sent to Germany as formerly, are now being sent to work in the regions behind the German front in France and Belgium. Besides the Germans who formerly deported the Bclgians under the pretoXt of giving work to the unemployed. now send them to the north Of France and compel them to work. pretending that. in virtue of Article of tho order issued by the German general headquarters on October 2, 1916, every inhabitant of the country may be compelled to give his help in case of public caIam- fly, even outside his residence
 E''This modified ton in the policy of aeportations took place in 1917. Then as a consequence of the universal protests raised against this policy the German emperor issued instructions to the effect that 'deportations of un- employed Belgians to Germany he stopped until further order' But these instructions were carried out only partly and very slowly, More- pver, they did not apply to the thou sands Of civilians who have been sent behind the German front in France.
 PurpOocIy Misunderstood.
 The chiefs of several German lrmies Intentionally misconstrued the lnstrucions of the German emperor. They pretended to understand that these instructions only forbade the sending of Belgian citizens to Ger many but not to other regions and khus they continued sending them to kte regions behind the German front 10 France and Belgium.
