not with greater speed than if he
had been cent to arrest Don Luis,
for Mazeroux was a conscientious
man, but with extraordinary
pleasure. The fight which he had
been obliged to wage against the
man whom he still called "the

to the point of tears. This time he
was coming to help him, perhaps
to save his life.
That afternoon the deputy
chief had ceased his search of the
house, by NJ. Desmalions' orders,
as Don Luis escape seemed GER

duty. Mazeroux found them in a
room on the ground floor, where
they we're sitting up in turns. In
reply to his questions, they de-

He went upstairs alone, so as to
have no witnesses to his interview
with the governor, passed through
the drawing room and entered the
study.
Here he was overcome with
anxiety, for, after turning on the
light, the first glance revealed
nothing to his eyes.
"Chief!' he cried repeatedly.
"Where are you, chief?"
No answer.
"And yet" thought Mazeroux.
"as he telephoned, he can't be far

In fact, he saw from where he
stood that the receiver was hang

to the telephone box, he stumbled
over bits of brick and plaster that
strewed the carpet. He then
switched ON the light in the box

hanging from the ceiling above
him. The ceiling was broken up
all around that arm. But the Shout

reached the hand. He felt it and
was treasured by the warmth OF

French and Americans Try to
Turn TeutOn FlankS
An OFFENSIVE WHICH, IF SUCCESSFUL, WILL COMPEL THE
GERMANS TO RETIRE OVER A WIDE AREA
ASSOCIATED Press)

The American and French troops
have begun a turning movement
which if successful will compel a
German retirement over wide area
east of Fere-en-T -Tardenois. They have
attacked over front of three miles
on each side of the village of Nesles.
The greatest advance made so far is
toward the east where the Americans
pushed on some distance from the
town of Sergy and approached Cham
cry. The enemy is still holding
strong positions at Roncheres and st.
Gemme, where his line is still less
than five miles from the Marine. The
Franco-American troops continued to
advance between Nesles and Dierges
to force the enemy to fall back to
escape being cut off from the rear.
RETIRING TO vESLE RIVER
With the American Army on the
Marine Front (Noon) Aug. 1.-(By
Associated Press).--The Germans
used less artillery late yesterday
against the attacking forces on this
front, depending more upon their
machine gunners for defending their
lines. This fact, coupled with stories
of prisoners and deserters lends
strength to the belief that the Ger
mans are planning a withdrawal to
new r-sitions along the Vesle river.
A des rter who came into the allied
lines ast night declared orders had
been issued for series of retrograde
movements until Fismes on the Vesle
river is reached. Except for minor
engagements, there was only artil-
lery fire along the line up to noon to-
day and that was comparatively light.
