The advance began with barrage opening at 5:3O o'clock. Tanks were sent in by the allies tc assist the in- fantrv and machine gunners and the Germans endeavored to stem the tide with heavy shell fire.
 The advance was one of the best drganzed the allies ever attempted the system working wonderfully well from one end of the line to the other. The machine gun defense of the Ger mans was feeble and was quickly sil- enced, the Germans falling back up- on their rear defenses.
 Southwest of Soissons the Ger mans repeatedly attempted to reach the allies big guns. The German fir ing continued until long after dark but the French and American guns responded in kind and gave full pro-
 tection to the allied forces as they
 advanced along the line.
 Several towns were captured. Heavy achievements were rushed up from the north by the German command in desperate efofrt to head off the hard-fighting allies, whose rapid advance would, is con- tinued, sever the German lines of communication. There are still strong German forces south of the Marne.

SURVIVORS AXE
 UNCERTAIN ON CAUSE 0F SINKING Don't Kno|W Whether San Diego Was Torpedoed
 or Struck Mine. FIRED AT OBJECT
 LIKE A PERISCOPE Believe That Many of Engine Crew Were Killed by Explosion
 Which Caused Sinking
 of Vessel.

Point O. Woods, N. Y.. July 19.- Survivors of the U. S. cruiser San Diego, sunk 10 miles off Fire Island, shortly before noon today declared to- ntght that many members of the engine room crew must have been killed by the explosion which wrecked the warship. They were uncertain whether the vessel was Sunk from torpedo, from a submarine or by a mine. The cruiser remained afloat 36 minutes after she was struck. The torpedo |Or mine struck the ship Just aft of midships, blowing up the boilers.
 One of the sailors declared the guns were fired at what appeared to be periscope. The survivors, who land ed here numbered 35 including six officers. The captain and first off cer of the San Diego were the last to leave the sinking cruiser. Heavy ex- plosions heard here late today were believed to indicate that some of the patrol boats which dashed to the aid of the cruiser had met the German submarine and were giving battle.
 The explosions continued until af- ter o'clock tonight and mariners living here declared they sounded as if depth bombs were being dropped Several barrels of crude oil, one of them badly charred, floated ashore near here and this was believed to indicate the possibility that a tank steamship also had been sunk.

German General staff.

The German general staff is not the creation of the kaiser. It is the ere ation of the army, and in Germany the army Is the nation. In the old days. when the principality of Bran denburg was becoming the state of Prussia, 1t was; the elector who gov erned with unchecked, autocratic au- thority. Even when Rfandenburg had become Prussia the kings Of Prussia dominated and owned the country as completely as the head of the house dominated the family, or the manu. facturer owned his business. The cab. inet of the great elector. the tobacco parliament of Frederick William, the Potsdam library of Frederick the Great. these have merged into the of- fees of the general staff. in which Is consecrated the surrender of the state to the army, and of the army to the army chiefs.

ROSE CLIMBS THREE STORIES
coIIege-ered Flowers That Nestle In lvy-covered Wall of University
 of Washington.

They are college-bred roses and their high education seems to have had a very elevating effect on their aspira- lions. Students on the University of Washington campus recently noticed on an ivy-covered wall of Denny hall, way up on level with the third floor windows, spray of coppery roses, the Seattle Post-Intelkgencer says. The Nranch which bears them reaches out from the heavy ivy vines and is the only sign of r0sebush in the neigh borhood.
 Some curiosity was aroused as to whether the flower was grafted on the ivy or whether it was rooted in the wall. Neither supposition was found to be correct. A number of years ago the rose blossomed modestly near the ground. Then either the crowding of the ivy or the lofty ambitions inspired by the intellectual surroundings forced it to shoot up so that 1t could extend its blossoms to the sun just outside of the windows used by the public-speaking and Spanish depart m0ntS.
 Its long, branchless stem is covered by the ivy and its top fiourishes in the soft and musical sounds from the Spanish room and the forceful oratory from the public speakers.

Look at the Hat cords.

A military man can immediately tell to what division a soldier belongs by glancing at the cord on his hat, but to the average citizen the color of the hat cord denotes little or nothing.
 It is an interesting feature to be fa- miliar with, especially now when so many soldiers are seen all over the country, and anyone who takes the trouble to learn the following list will be rewarded by being able to satisfy his own curiosity respecting any sol. dier he happens to see without having to ask questions:' A cord of light blue signifies that the wearer belongs to the infantry; red denotes artillery {; yellow. cavalry; buff. quartermaster's corps: orange and white; signal corps {; red and white, engineers. corps; red and black, ordnance; black and white.

States Navy: Damaged Goods" has a most striking and inspiring lesson. For years we have been fighting just such horrors in the navy as are de- picted in this play. It is' high time we crusaded against this evil in cour- ageous manner.
 Justice Daniel Thew Wright: I feel confident that Damaged Goods" is to have tremendous effect in educating the young people of this country to the danger that surrounds them. It is high time that they were so edu- cated.
 Bishop Samuel Fallows, The Re- formed Episcopal Church: Any play that brings out in so powerful a fashion the lessons humanity must learn is of necessity to be commended. I believe Damaged Goods" is high ly valuable sociological lesson.
 Senator J. Kern, Indiana: It is high time that we began to look on the se- rious problems presented in "Dam- aged Goods" with open minds. We cannot deal with monstrous evils such as this one unless we are willink to see facts as they are and deal with them as we known they must be dealt with.

BEST THEATRE TODAY.

When the motion picture turns upon the show business and presents either a theatrical performance or a circus, it generally gives something almost better than the reality: certainly it is combining forms of entertainment in an original sort of way. Via the screen the spectator sees another variety of showmanship and even the lusty or gan or the orchestra may initiate with facility the circus band.
 So in "The Biggest Show on Earth" Enid Bennett's third Paramount pie ture, produced by Thomas H. Ince, the circus reigns; the big top flutters it's canvass and flags; the menagerie in- habitants roar-silently-and the crowns ply their time-honored pro- fessiOn. Jerome Storm was director and the story was written by Flor ence Vincent. "The Biggest Show on Earth" will be displayed at the Best Theatre today and nothing will be left undone by Manager Simon to make the presentation one of the most notable of the season.

ARKANSAS TROOPS
 NOW IN FRANCE.

Special to The Graphic.
 Little Rock, Aug. 27.-'The Ship on which sailed has arrived safely over- seas."
 That brief printed message on a postal card, signed by a member of the American Expeditionary Force, was received yesterday and today, bringing important news to thousands of homes.
 It announced the safe arrival, prob ably in France, of the two original regiments of the Arkansas National Guard, the 163rd; being, the old First regiment, commanded by Col. c. D. James of Eureka Springs, and the 154th. being the old 3rd regiment, commanded by Col. E. L. Compere. It is thought that the ,1l4th Machine Gun Company, cdmmanded by Mai. Chas. Garrett, of Hope, and the Hath Ammunition Train, commanded by It. Col. Hill Caruth, are among the con- tingents that have also reached their destination.
 While no definite announcement has been made, and probably will not be made, it is supposed that after the required period of intentive training behind the lines, these men will be put into active service at the front.
 So far as announced officially, the old Second Regiment, which was changed to Field Artillery, is still on this side.

'''N0 SHADOW ON HER FACE"
Writer Tel1s of English Woman Who
 Has Given All She Had to the Country.

We English do not read our casu- alty lists any more. Many Of us dare not. When we meet, we do not even speak of those who have gone away. A very touching thing was told me by one of my neighbors. He was the last of twenty-four officers in one of the Gordon regiments. He said that the places were just filled up as soon as they were emptied, and they never spoke of those who had fallen. That brings the reality of the thing to you.
 In my own little country-Scotland you will find many, many villages from which the Highland regiments have been recruited. There are no boys left to come back. They are all dead.
 Not many weeks before I came to this country l was up in the Gordon country, and on a Sunday night was speaking in a church on the spiritual side of the war. At the close a wom. an came to me, little, simple, coun- try woman. dressed in the uniform ot the Gordon Highlanders, holding a yellow missive, which ], alas, knew too well. 'The war office department re- grets to inform - that -- was killed in nction." She laid this little missive beside one of the DOT. traits, and said, '"That came yesterday. That's Jimmie. He's the last of the three." 'I hear you are going to Amer lea. Will you tell American mothers I have given all my lads? had only three and would give six, if I had them, for the same cause" Another friend of mine has given all her five sons. She is a widow and she has none left; but she is working in one of the canteens with no shadow on he: face.-Mrs. A. -Burnett-Smith in the Atlantic Monthly.
