WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE MARINE. July 2o.-The past week
has been by far tho most important
since America entered the war. It
began with the German offensive on
the Marne with the design. 1t now
seems established. OF isolating and
overthrowing Rheims by undermining q
at Epernay and Chalons. The attempts
lat Chalons failed at the start. Toward
Epernay progress was slow and made
at great cost. Americans were IN op-
position at both places.
AT other points the enemy made
gains of various dimensions, but none
was important. On the second day he
moved very slowly and on the third
day his movement was halted COM
pletely as an offensive though vicious
local fighting, attacks, counter attacks
and heavy cannonading continued

This gave Gen. Foch, his chance. /,
Along the roads back Of the sa-
l1ent nearest Paris sped magnificent
French motor trains miles long. All
the implements OF war, save one were
carried on rubber tires to the ap-
pointed places. Cavalry horses were
saddled and taken fresh to the scene.

tions went by motor. Fortune fa-
vored. and black night with rain COW
tered the gathering. s3
It was joy to on1ookers as the
thousands Of unlighted trucks moved
along the dark roads, to realize that
they now moved as our generals
wished and. not as the German gem
erals made it Necessary.
This time tha cards had SO fallen
that we had the lead. and men Of

Truck drivers carried French and

Surprise Was Complete.
Similar scenes were witnessed in
the raid from the Aisne TO well be-
yond Chateau Thierry. The, rain
ceased at 8 o'clock In the morning

when, through the heavy ground mist,

MADDOCk SPEAKER
 IN COLLINSVILLE
DiSClOSeS What Intrigue Is Doing
 in This Country

Collinsville, March 29.-1n the course of an address at a "Victory'' war rally in the town hall here last night, Aubrey L. Maddock. secretary of the publicity committee of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, declared that the monster gun with which the German army is lombard ing Paris Is being used for one pur- pose-an attempt to weaken the he- roic spirit of the French people, and not with any hope that the slightest military advantage can be gained by It's shells.
 "Germany's hope" said he, lis that by killing a few women and children she can weaken the morale of France, and the kaiser is willing to spend an enormous sum to manufac- ture the gun and $5,0G0 for each shot fred if by so doing he thinks he can break down the spirit of France. But France will go on, and fight on and continue to sacrifice, The spirit of

the population will not be broken. The people of France will continue in their devotion to their noble cause and their heroic troops, who. side hv side with the sturdy sons of Great Britain and the loyal soldiers of this republic, struggle for every inch of shell-torn battle ground, fighting on as at Verdun, with grim determina- ton upon their faces and on their lips the four words which typify the sn'r'- of France: They shall not pass ''
 The same kind of an attack Is being made upon America, though with diff ferent weapons, MT. Maddock said. Germany is struggling to break down the morale of the people of this na- tion through every despicab1e means that can be found by the Kaiser S agent here. Any man Or woman in America, who, by falling in with the German attack upon our morale. aids Tn spreading the stories which the kalser's agents want spread, deserves an Iron Cross,' said the speaker.
 In the course of his address, which enumerated "The Indispensable Con- ditions of Victory'' and emphasized I'd particularly the importance of morale the defense council speaker said: German intrigue and propaganda are based upon the study of human nature. Those agents of the kaiser who are working in this country fo1 Teutonic kultur have sought to fl their methods in each case to the particular section in which they were active.

George Walsh ia "I'n Say So." a swift moving comedy drama, typical of this yonng man. is the attraction at FoX's tonight with the usual four acts of Vaud deVille.
 At last we have found the young man who poses for those advertise ments of "Farsity Clothes for Young Men" and "Kampus Kut Topcoats" |" He is George Walsh, athletic, smiI- ing, happy and radiating that tone Of prosperous optimism that has made him the idol of film followers all over the world. And we safely promise his followers that they will be satisfied with George in his latest production of the F'oX-WaIsh series I'll Say So"
 All that he can do in the line of athletics, acrobatics stunts and showy displays of agility has been crowded into this five reel comedy drama da5hng and entertaining to a degree. Folks who have a large spot in their heart for George Walsh pie tures will not expect much plot or heavy dramdtics or much Of anything beside daring deeds and HveIiness on the part of the star. There are vil- lains to frustrate and Walsh does the frustrating, and does it acrobatically
 
 serve as &n incentive, and in the last few feet of I'll Say So," George catches up with her in time to have a happy ending.
