mile limit of the Middletown and
New Cumberland developments until
Washington has had opportunity to

before the War Department as to
conditions here.
Lieutenant Colonel Nelson was
not at his office at the aviation depot
at Middletown to-day and it was re-

where, among other things, he
would take up with the federal au-
thorities the matter of "zoning" for

tention to the Illicit sale of liquor at
this place and in surrounding towns.
They have had little or no cooper
alton and much insolence on the
part of local policemen who should
have helped instead of hindered.
The assault of a federal officer by
City Detective John Murnane and
his interference with the Army rep

GREAT ACTIVITY
in ENEMY LINES
IN ROYE REGION
Lull on French Sector Due to
Difficulty in Moving Ar
tillery Ammunition
MANY WAGON TRAINS
Prisoners Taken From Rear
Guard Say Mission Is to
Delay French
MANY WAGON TRAINS

With the French Army in France,
Aug. 13.-Difficulty in bringing up
artillery ammunition over battered
roads brought a comparative lull on
the French sector to-day. infantry
activity was confined to local en-
gagements.
The German guns have been more
active with shell of all calibers and
with gas. The enemy is now rein
forcing his old line which he held
from 1914 to 1917, and it will re-
quire heavier armament to batter
a way through. The Germans have
attempted several counterattacks but
they were without marked vigor and
gained no success.
Aviators Obstruct Supplies
Aviators continue to play an inn
rortant role in harassing the enemy
behind his front line. They are OBJ
structing the movements of conveys
of ammunition and supplies.
1t is believed the stand the Ger
mans are preparing to make IN their
old trenches is likely to prove only
a temporary eXpedient to obtain time
in which to move back the immense
stores of material and to organize
retirement of the artillery and in
fantry.
There is great activity within the
German lines east of Roye and
Chaulnes. All the roads are en-
numbered with wagon trains, indi-
eating the enemy still is moving out
the ammunition and supplies he had
gathered in that region.
The latest prisoners taken say
they belong to the rear guard, whose
mission is to delay the advance OF
the French and facilitate the retire
ment of the main force with the sup
plies and big guns.
The German artillery, which had
maintained only a harassing fire uI
TO yesterday, now is laying down
harrages which alone are sufficient
TO slow up the French advance.
In spite of the intensified shelling
the French to-day made gains in
local operations, occupying favora-
ble positions north of Poy-sur- Mat2
and Cheyincourt

FISMETTE MAY BE
SCENE OF ATTACK
BY CROWN PRINCE
Opposing Lines Close; Huns
Search American Positions
With Machine Guns
FIGHT HARD FOR TIME
French and Yankees Continue
to Exert Pressure South
of the Aisne

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Monday, Aug. 13.-The Ger
mems directed counter actions against
the Franco American line between
scissors and Rheims to-day but with
out bringing any change in the situa-
ton. Nor did the enemy reveal any
intention of an immediate attempt to
recover any portion of the territory
lost north of the Marne.
Guns Seldom Silent
livered. The guns on either side
were seldom silent and at many
places, especially in the neighbor-
hood of Fismette, north of Fismes,
where the opposing lines are close,
the Germans repeatedly searched the
American positions with machine gun
fire.
1t is quite possible that the crown
prince may decide upon a counterat-
tack on a big scale in that sector,
but such action would necessitate the
bringing up of divisions which pre-
sumably are badly needed on the
British front and at other points.
1t seems probable he realizes that
any attempt to wrest territory here
from the troops that have just taken
it would be extremely high priced.
Germans Gain Time
On the other hand. the Germans
now are in such positions along the
line south of the Aisne that they can
afford to take more time for a re-
treat over that river. confident that
the allies will not extend themselves
too much in an effort here at this
time.
The Germans are fighting hard for
time, but observers continue to re-
port indications that their plans still
include a. retirement. The French and
the Americans, however, have not
ceased to exert pressure.

A LIED forces this morn
~ ing began a general at
49, tack against the German
line running. from Chaulnes
south of the Disc river, front
of about 25 miles. Dispatches
filed at London shortly after
noon reported important gains
at various points especially on
the vital sector south of Las
signy, near the Disc.
The French have gained
control of the entire massif of
Lassigny, on the southern end of
the Picardy battle front, accord
ing to advices this afternoon.
This gives command OF the
town of Lassigny and the val
ley of the Divette, as well as
the entire district to the north.
French Forge Ahead
Farther south the French
have advanced to the village OF
rEconvillon, just south of the
eastern extremity of Thiescourt
wood and virtually on the crest
of the hills overlooking long
caches of the Oise. Just to the
west of l'Econvillon the French
have made new progress north
of the St. Claude farm.
AS an immediate result of the
gains made in that sector, the
Germans are abandoning their
trenches in the bed of the Oise
just west of the village of Bail
ly, east of Ribecourt. 1t is said
that the French have occupied
these positions. =
North of Lassigny, in the re-
gion of Roye and along the
railroad running northward to
Chaulnes, there are, so far, no
reports of progress.
Menace Line of Retreat
If the allies have succeeded
in carrying the heights south
of Lassigny, they will force the

Beginning last Saturday, buyers of
ice in great quantity were notified
that they could not get their usual
amounts. and the saloons were cut
universally to fifty per cent. This
will continue until the supply be-
comes normal.
Elements contributing to the short

district as they will have the
Roye-Noyon road under their
fire and will dominate the whole
region with their artillery.
The advance reported during
the last few hours would, if
continued, probably have an eff
feet on the German position in
the Ourscamp and Car-lepont
forest east of the Disc. If the
Germans there are outflanked
by the allied movements, re-
tirement from that district
would be probable and this
would necessitate a relocation
of the line running from the
Disc and the Aisne at Scissors.
Thus the attack launched this
morning would appear 20 have
direct relation to the battle
being fought along the Aisne
and Vesle by the allies.
Fismette Is Recaptured
Late dispatches tell of hard
fight at Fismette, on the north
bank of the Vesle between
Scissors and Rheims. The Al
lies, among whom Americans
are known to be fighting, we're
forced from the village by the
Germans and had to cross the
Vesle, but an immediate count
erattack is reported to have re-
stored the allied position on the
north side of the river.
From Chaulnes northward to
the Anacre river the Allies ap-
pear to have been held up by
the desperate German defense.
There have been local engage
ments along this line, but at no
point have the British and
Americans engaged on this
front succeeded IN making any
marked impression upon the
German lines which are vir-
tuallN resting on the old trench
systems held by the enemy in
1916.
Peronne Is in Flames
Reports received this morn
ing stated that the ruins of
Peronne are in flames and that
several villages behind the
German lines are burning. The
fires may have been caused by
allied bombardments, but it is
believed that the Germans ap-
piled the torch to these towns
as a preliminary step to a fur
ther retirement eastward.
There have been local en-
gagements in the Flanders sec
tor but nothing of significance
has occurred there during the
past day.
