With the French Afield, July 25.-
The allies continue their relentless
pressure against the pocket to which
the crown prince has led hundreds OF
thousands Of hopeful Germans. One
point after another is giving way be-
fore the steady pressure. The meas
ure of resistance the Germans are
able to offer between Rheims and
scissors is shown by the fact that
about 43 divisions are now within the
salient OF which number 10 divisions
have been added after tie offensive
started.
Inside the pocket, the seriousness
OF the German predicament has been
increasing daily for the past five
days. At some points the enemy re-
sists the allied attacks hotly while
at others only machine gun fire op-
poses the allied advance The whole
section over which the battle is rag

STUDENTS HELP
 WIN THE WAR

Splendid is the work done by the members of the Bridgeport High school in their great enthusiasm to help win the war. Up to November 1st a report shows that $32, 900 worth of thrift and war savings stamps were bought by the pupils. The total con- tributions amount to s44,OO0, donated to many charitable organizations in the city.
 Besides quantities of knitted gar ments consisting of scarfs, socks, sweaters and mittens, the girls of the Domestic department turned out a quantity of delicious jam that was sent over to the boys. In the Lib erty Loan campaign they also went over the top.
 Pledges are now being signed for the War Work campaign, and MT. Moore, principal, stated that he ex- poets every one of his 1900 pupils to sign pledge card.
