BRITISH OPERATING
VEST OF RHEIMS
Highland Division Struck Heavy Blow
and Took Two Villages and Two
Woods-Big Booty Taken
South of Marne.

With the French Army in France, Sun.
day, July 2l.--tBy the Associated Press
On the main battlefield between the
Aisne and the Marne the Germans again
have been driven back a considerable
distance, They have been pushed back
over the Scissors Chateau Thierry road
at several points north of the 0urcq.
South of the river under the com
bined pressure of French troops advanc-
ing from the west and the Franco Amer
lean forces, who followed the enemy
across the Marne and who are now
pushing him northward, the Germans fell
back rapidly during the day, and to-
night the allies were on line marked
by the villages of La Croix, Grisolles,
and Epieds, which means an advance of
from the south.
The French troops carried the heights
overlooking La Croix and Grisolles at
the point of the bayonet.
In the abandoned Boche positions
south of the Marine the Franco Ameri-
cans made rich haul of material, in
cluding 400 machine guns and thirty
cannon, including two big guns.
The heaviest fighting to-day on the
eastern side Of the salient was in the
hills and woods west of the mountain
Of Rheims where the enemy was fighting
tooth and nail to maintain himself. The
Germans were attacked fercely in this
region to-day by British troops, includ-
ing Highland division, who took from
him Courton wood, Rheims wood and
the villages of Bouilly and st. Eupsrasie.
The Germans evidently mean to hold
on at all costs to their fanIing positions
in the mountain Of Rheims and on the
plateau above scissors.

munication from the japanese govern
ment arrived there would be nothing 70
say for publication.
Details of the plan, previously pub
lished in London and Toxic, however
disclosed that the project for military
aid to Russia contemplated assistance
10 the Czecho- Slovak army. The meas
ures for extending this aid may not be
discussed at this time.
The American proposal, it is said, diff
fers from that advanced by Great Brit.
ain and France. There is understood to
have been some divergence of opinion
at first as to the extent to which the al
lied expedition of assistance should pen
citrate Siberia. The Japanese military
authorities were insistent that no linn
itations should be placed upon their
nation. The United States and the al
lied governments have gone to some
lengths to make plain that they have
every confidence in the good faith OF
Japan and the announcement of the &C.
ceptance Of an agreement indicated that
this point Has been satisfactorily dis,
posed Of.
The relief commission mentioned in
the London dispatch probably has some
connection with the body of American
business men and industrial leaders
which is to be sent to extend economic

TRYING TO RAISE
BARGES ALREADY
If the Salvagers Are Successful the Ex-

Good Ammunition.

Orleans, Mass, July 22.-Efforts we're
made by wrecking feet to-day to raise
the. three barges sunk by German sub
marine off shore neaE here yesterday and
to salvage fourth barge and the tug
Perth Amboy, damaged by shell fire
from the submarine
If the barges and tug can be saved, as
expected, the exploit of yesterday will
prove costly bit of business for the
Germans. 1t is estimated that the three
torpedoes launched at the boat cost $l5,.
600 each to say nothing of the other am
munition expended in the hour and a
half's bombardment of the vessels.
Captain Charles Ainslee, commander of
the barge Lansford, who was wounded in
both arms by fragments of shells, was

The Day We Celebrate

IF WE were asked 1--WE have not been
4 asked to name a day which the world
ought to celebrate and does not, We would
name the 18th of May. For on that day.
in the year 1863. James Boswell first met
DR.. Samuel johnson.
The great event, which enriched the
world with one Of the most vivid pano-
ramas Of human nature known to man,
happened in Tom Daviess bookshop in
COvent Garden, London. Mr. and Mrs.
Davies were friends OF Doctor johnson,
who frequently visited their shop. OF them
Boswell remarks quantity that though they
had been on the stage for many years, they
maintained an uniform decency of char.
acter."
AT last. on Monday. the 18th of May"
says Boswell, when / was sitting in Mr..
Davies's back parlour. after having drunk
tea with him and Mrs. Davies, johnson
Unexpectedly came into the shop; and Mr..
Davies having perceived him through the
glass door, announced his awful approach
to me. Mr., Davies mentioned my name,
and respectfully introduced me to him. I
was much asitated"
The volatile Boswell may be forgiven his
agitation. We also would have trembled
not little. Boswell was only twenty-five,
and probably felt that his whole life and
career hung upon the great mans mood.
But embarrassment Is comely emotion
for young man in the face Of greatness;
and the Doctor was speedily put in good
humor by an opportunity to utter his
favorite pleasantly at the expense of the
Scotch. II do. indeed. come from Scot
land" cried Boswell. after Davies had let
the cat out Of the bag; but I cannot help
it." THAT. sir" said Doctor johnson, "is
what a great many of your countrymen
cannot help"
The great book that dated from that
meeting In Davies's back parlor has be-
come one Of the most intimately cherished
possessions Of the race. One nnds its ad-
mirers and students scattered over the
globe. No man who loves human nature
In all its quirks and pangs. seasoned with
bluff honesty and the genuineness Of cliff
