ALLIES ADVANCED
AVERAGE OF 3 MILES

During the Past Two Days on the West.
ern Front of the Scissors Rheims Sa-
lient, Says Report to London.

London, July 25.-on the western front
of the scissors Rheims salient, the allied
forces have advanced to an average depth
of three miles on l2-mile front during
the past two days There were no new
developments this morning in the battle
area, according to adyices from the field
of the fighting received in London up to
noon, but the situation was considered
quite satisfactory for the allies
The reports show that the German high
command has thus far engaged Ga divi-
sions in the battle, representative of the
groups of the German armies in Flanders
to Alsace. These Ga divisions are yearly
a third of the available Germans,
The conclusion is drawn that the en-
emy is hard put to it for reserves, al
though Crown Prince Rupprecht of Ba-
Varia, on the northern 'front.' still has
plenty of reserve divisions.

In the Attack on Meteren July II, and
Are Holding Ground.

British Headquarters in France, July
25.-(Via Ottawa The South Africans
who took part in the successful attack
at Meteren, on the Flanders front, on
July II, came from all quarters of that
dominion and included goodly proper
tion Of the Dutch element. Forming the
right wing of the British force, they ad-
vanced farther and faster than any of
the other units.
Advancing behind smoke screen and
wearing gas masks, the South Africans
took the enemy by surprise, although
having some trouble with the enemy in
shell craters and cleverly concealed ma
chine gun nests. Their casualties, con
sidering the measure of their success,
were comparatively light,
The enemy so far has not attempted
a counter attack on the new British po-
sition.

Germans Are Feeling the Effect of Pres

-(By Associated Press With their
lines of communication reduced by oper-
ations on their fianks and their rear
north of the Marine being constantly
punished, the Germans have been forced
to give up more territory. The French
and American troops rested tonight
some distance in advance of the points
where they started this morning.
The German retirement under pressure
is believed to indicate that General Won
Boehm, the commander of the armies
within the salient, has had enough pun
ishment to convince him of the advisa-
bility of taking new positions,

German rear guards have again
hurled themselves at the pursuing
allied forces on the north bank of
the Marne. Before the momentum
of their blow, the allies we're
obliged to withdraw from the little
wood to the north of the town of
Treloup and were forced back out
of the village Of Chassins, little
further east.
The success of the Germans was,
however, shortliyed, for they were
Immediately driven back by re-
newed attack by the allies
Northward, along the line to-
ward Scissors, and to the north
east, toward Rheims, there have
been heavy bombardments, but no
infantry fighting is reported.
As the days of heavy fighting
continue on the battlefield north
of the Marne, it becomes increas-
ingly apparent that the German
retirement is well under way.
This withdrawal is apparently be-
ing conducted in an orderly If not
deliberate manner, being covered
by such rearguard actions as that
reported at Treloup and Chassins.
A study of the map of the re-
gion where the struggle Is going
on shows that along the line from
Jaulgonne, northwest to 0ulchy-
Le-Chateau, just north of the
oureq, or even farther, the allies
have pressed ahead during the
past two days. As nearly as the
location of the contending forces
can be determined at present the
Germans have been forced back or
have retired over much Of this line
distance Of nearly three miles
since Tuesday.
North of the 0urcq river, the
situation is obscure, owing to the
lack of details given out through
the official reports of press dis
patches. IL may be said, however,
that for the moment the line from
Scissors southwark to the 0urcq
has reached state of equilibrium
and that the deadlock between the
offense of the allies and the de-
Tense of the Germans will prob
ably continue until the former
bring up sufficient fresh troops to
break the line at some vital point.
The progress south of the 0urcq,
however, has placed in jeopardy
the village of Fere-en Tardenois,
which is one of the most impor-
tant German bases in this region.
At last accounts the French and
Americans were almost directly
south of this place,
Military critics in Paris incline
to the view that General Luden-
dorf, the German commander, will
probably launch a new attack on
some other sector of the front in
an effort to gain local success to
gloss over his failure at the Marne.
He might by this means, also,
wrest the initiative from General
Foch and force the latter TO re-
move some of his troops from the
Soissons- Rheims area. II seems
to be agreed that the logical point
to expect such a German attack
is somewhere along the British
held lines.
The British, in the meantime,
are not idle. They have been con-
ducting raiding operations in
the Hebuterne sector, and have re-
pulsed attempted German raids
along the Amiens front, to the
south. The enemy artillery has
been active at Arras and Lens, vi
tai points of the British line.
The French have carried over a
raiding operation south of Mont
didier and have captured prisoners,

BOLSHEVIK THREAT
TO TAKE ACTION
Following the Landing of Entente Troops
on the Murman

Amsterdam, July 25.-The Russian
bolshevik government, says a dispatch
from Moscow to the Lokal Anzeiger of
Berlin, considers the action taken by the
entente power in landing troops on the
Murman coast as tantamount to dec
laration of war. The bolshevik govern

Donations. The auditorium will be
used for all of the men to gather for
lectures, religious services, patriotic
meetings. etc.
This large building will cost ap-
proximately 100000 but each COM

auditorium possible.
Ii is certain that Maysvlle will do

PROGRESS OF THE

Lines.

With the American Army on the

De Goutte, commanding the army on
this front, expressed to the corre-

progress already made and the hope
that tie advance would continue un-

in his praise of the manner in which
the Americans were carrying out their
part. Some of the officers now in tn,

Boxer rising in China when he was a

The American forces now occupy
the hills beyond Seringes and Sergy,
One of the fiercest encounters in the
present offensive was brought about
by the Americans, who occupied Ser
inges. Some of them did withdraw,
but others remained in the houses
and other points of vantage. The
Germans began pouring into the place
and the Americans opened fire The
enemy troops were virtually ami
hilated
The Americans used machine guns
and rifles pistols and both the bay
onet and the rifle butt with great ef-
fectiveness. The fighting in the streets
was savage, but of comparatively
brief duration. Then the Americans
awaited the coming of other Germans,
but they came not. So Americans and
French together moved beyond the
village.
When the Germans learned that the
Americans in Seringes were winning
they used their artillery, and there is
unquestionable evidence that numer-
GUS Germans were killed by German
shells.
orders were that the Germans must
hold at all costs. Among the pris-
oners were men attached to the Fifth
foot guards from Lorraine and others
who had been on leave in Germany,
who said that the German people were
thoroughly tired of the war and did
not care who governed so long as the
war came to an end
The Germans are now using high
explosive shells simultaneously with
gas shells, The high explosives are
designed to drown the pop" of the
gas projectiles, which the allies
have learned to distinguish from the
others. The percentage of gas cas-
ualties is low as result of the dis
covery of the German trick, because
the Allies generally anticipate attack
with gas.
