WlCn The Amerlcan Army NOrCn or Verdun, Oct. 25 (By The Associated Pres.)-The American troops, despite strong German artillery fire improv- ed their positions at three important points along the front east and west of the Mouse during the night.
 East of the Mouse the Americans drove the enemy from the eastern edge of the. Bois d'Ormont. gaining their objective.
 In the, region of Grand Pre-, west of the Mouse, the Americans straight ened out their line and captured sev- eral important ridges. Between Rap pes wood and Bantheville wood the American line was extended despite stubborn resistance.
 It is reported that the Germans are preparing new defense positions in the vicinity of Briquenay, 4 1-2 miles north of Grand Pre- and that they are expected to take a stand in that region within week.
 Among the prisoners captured by the Americans are members of the twenty eighth division, known as the Plying Shock Division" Twelve Am erican soldiers separated from their own lines have returned after spend ing four days and four nights hiding in shell holes and underbrush in the reoion of Loges farm.
 They fought off small attachments of Germans. but were unable to reach nlaces of safety because of the enemy sharpshooters. Notwithstanding the constant harassing, the twelve made natrolling expeditions each night and brought back valuable information re- Their only food during the four days consisted of their emergency rations and these they ate the first night.

Patrols Ahead of Infantry.

British patrols late today were operating in the Le Quesnoy region, while British infantry had reached the high ground north of Maresches and were attacking the German posi- tions there.
 Today's advance greatly increases the menace to the Germans holding Valenciennes which is rapidly being bottled up. If line were drawn thru the positions now hedl by General Horne's army in the north and Gener- al Byng's forces on. the south, it would pass well to the east of Valen- ciennes.
 Should the British continue their forward pressure as it has been press ed for the past three days the enemy will be forced to evacuate Valencien- nes very shortly.
 When the British attacked this morning they held Vendegies and the high ground east of that place.
 From these points they drove off before daylight into the ridge country north and east.
 The details of the fighting here are not yet available but it is known that the British pushed through early in the day and were still going ahead The British second army. attacking in conjunction with the French on the northern battle front, fought it's way steadily forward in the face of heavy artillery fire and captured Moen in Flanders.
 The French are reported to be mak-, ing good progress on the British left.

With The American Army North west of Verdun, Oct. 25 (By The Associated Press.)-(8 P. M.)-From a day of extraordinarily severe fight ing the American emerged tonight slightly in advance of the positions they held yesterday.
 The gains made are slight but are regarded as extremely important, es- pecially on the left where higher ground dominating much fthe sur-
 There has been comparatively little alteration in the positions on the cen- ter, but the American footing in Bel leu woods, east of the Mouse, was more securely fixed, notwithstanding the determined efforts of the eGrmans to force the Americans back.
 The fighting for. positions just be- yond Belleu woods began at 4 o'clock this morning when the Americans drove their way forward.
 At day light the Germans counter attacked and since the failure of that operation have launched threee other attacks, equally unsuccessful.
 On the extreme left the gains made by the Americans left them at the close close of the day on the ridge extending from Talma farm to Belle joyeuse farm. on a line through the Bourgogne woods.
 Clouds and ground mists reduced aerial activity to minimum but ar tillery employing both high explos- ives and gas projectiles in enormous quantities, was used by both sdies.
 Besides the artillery reaction at points where the offensive was in progress, the Germans devoted much fire to the back areas and that DOT tion of the front about Bantheville, where the American line was.

At a conference in Washington on
the 18th and 10Th inst, between the
United States Food Control and the
State authorities of the Atlantic and
Gulf States and the fishermen and
fish dealers of these States, the ques-
ton of setting aside the laws In the
states with reference to the catching
of fish was discussed. The matter,
so far as the outside waters are con-
cerned, was practically settled be-
tween the State authorities Of Florida
and Mr. Herbert G. Hoover, who has
the control Of food for the National
Government
One point in question, is whether
or not the haul-seines and purse
seines may be used in the Indian
River and other interior waters. The
State authorities took the position
that these seines would soon destroy
the fish in our interior waters, eFpec-
ially the mullet, which is not a. migra-
tory fish.
Your presence is requested at this
meeting. The interests Of the State
and Nation are at stake, and you
should be present if you possibly can
do so.
