Remarkable Advance Of Foch's
Men Yields Excellent
Results for Allies
VICTORY IN ALBANIA

French pressure along the line from
the Marne to the Aisne, which began
two weeks ago as series of local at
tacks, has begun to yield results which
are appreciable when viewed on the
map. The town of Corey and strong
positions in that vicinity have been
captured by the slow, methodical ad-
vance that has been the source Of
much annoyance to the enemy for sew
eral days.
AS result of the assaults made by
the French from Ambleny, south of the
Aisne, to the hills south of Corey, their
line has been advanced to high ground
which lends itself to defensive opera
tions and gives the French observation
points from which they can see what
is going on back of the German lines.
There has been some reason for be-
lieving that when the Germsns re-
sumed their offensive on the western
front, they will attempt to break thru
between the Marne and the Aisne.
For this reason the operations which
the French have carried out assume
Importance. South of Corey the Ger
man line extends slightly to the west
ward, but it curves sharply eastward
just before it reaches the Clignon
river, northwest of the Chateau
Thierry. From the Clignon southwark

Record:
Private Buster Andrews Ellsworth,
known to his friends here as "Percy'
Ellsworth, is the first Cripple Creek
boy killed in action in France. Young
Ellsworth was member of the marine
corps and assisted in stopping the Ger
mans at the Marine during their at
tempted drive on Paris.
Ellsworth is son of Mr.. and Mrs.
l.. E. Ellsworth of this city. He was
born and reared in Cripple Creek and
enlisted in the marine corps here about
one year ago. News of his death was
announced yesterday in telegram re-
ceived here by his brother, Ben W.
Ellsworth. The boys parents are ont

ing at Breckenridge and the mother at
Glenwood Springs.
The telegram conveying news of the
death of the Ellsworth boy was from
Major General Barnett at Washington.
The message follows in part:

The Germans had penetrated the al

day before the American marines
swung into action. The marines not
only succeeded in blocking the path of
the Huns but drove them back and ad-
vanced their line more than two miles
in four hours.
"Percy" Ellsworth was well known
in this city. He was born here and
lived here all his life until he al
swered the call of his country in the
war against autocracy about year
ago. He was well liked by all who
knew him and his death will be a
source of regret to every person in

NEW FOE OFFENSIVE is SEEN
Army Strategists Believe Germany

Washington, May 6.-Germany Is
tuning up a new offensive effort.
Army strategists believe that the
rest spell is practically over and that
the enemy, halted before Ypres, will
now turn his attention farther south
on the Lys.
This smash will find the Allies bet
ter prepared to resist them than they
have been during other phases of the
drive.
Military men point out that the
battle will go on until fall much as II

and halt. They suggest that it is al,

must succeed for time but, they add
ed, the German punch has shown
signs of being less forceful in recent
days, and each new push has netted
less than the preceding one.
