Forced to Call Fresh Divisions.

The British have inflicted casualties
out Of all proportion to the number
Of prisoners taken. They have forced
the German leaders to place fresh di-
visions in the line, as is shown by the
fact that four different German di-
visions are represented among the
prisoners taken by one English divi-
sion. This has had the effect of
weakening the reserves available
against the French and Americans
on the west side Of the salient, where
there is active fighting to prevent the
removal. of further forces to support
the German lines on the east.
/: There is considerable bombing
activity by the German airmen. who
are trying to harrass the back areas
by blowing up depots and dfsarrang-.
ing communications, although {, the
British and French are just as active
Ia this respect The enemy used their,
machines sparfngly during the last
few months in order to be well sup
piled for the present battle.

y Skillful use OF French cavalry has
marked Gen. Foch's tactics ever
since he took control OF the allied
armies as supreme commander, ac-
cording to information reaching mill
tary circles here The horsemen have
played an important role in the whole
battleI0f 1918. as the struggle which
began March 81 with the first German
drive has come to be known.
The employment of the swift-mov-
ing mounted columns in the present
counter stroke from the Aisne-Marne
line has been noted in the dispatches.
Again Gen. Foch took advantage
of the great mobility Of the mounted
army to throw them in wherever his
advancing infantry units threatened
to lose touch with each other in the
heat and confusion of the contest.
No gaps have been left where the
enemy might strike back, for always
the horsemen came up to NIL the
hole until the infantry line could pc
rectified and connected IN a. solio

The same tactics marked the hrst

Epidemic on Wane.
The epidemic now seems on the wane,
As there are only from 100 to 200 cases

arrival Of an opportune cold wave than

Great tanks Of boiled water have been
placed In street squares. Hapdbills have

people. and informing them that practi-

SAVING THE ANviLS.
Terrible Threat Made by the BraWny
Negro Stevedore.

A story to be good does not neces-
sarily have TO be new The following
story, which was a favorite of the
late Senator Carmack, of Tennessee,
falls within the rule.
"a brawny negro" said Senator
Carmack, was once employed as a
stevedore on the docks at Memphis to
help to unload cargo Of hardware
from the steamer Anna p. Silver.
THE negro was carrying anyils
ashore, and SO great was his strength
that he carried one under each arm.
'ln crossing the narrow gangpank
with an anvil under each arm the ne.
gro slipped and fell into the water.
He came up putting and blowing.
Trow down er rope, he yelled
The men on board laughed at him
In derision
"Frow down err rope, pleaded the
negro, treading water vigorously
Getting nothing but jeers, the ne.
gro cried excitedly:

down er rope or I'll drop one er desc

YANKS HATE TO TOTE BREAD
Take Chances Of Going Hungry In
France Rather Than Garry Loaf
With Them.

Somewhere in France.-American
soldiers and sailors sometimes find it
difficult when on leave to get all the
bread they want in French cities.
Bread is issued by card. one ticket be-
ing good for 100 grammes. There are
three tickets for each day. The Amer
lean government feeds its own men,
and unless a soldier is detached, or on
some special duty where he cannot
reach his own mess, no provision Is
made for his eating outside his own
quarters, and he does not get French
bread tickets.
When soldiers are on leave from
camp or sailors get shore leave they
are reminded to take along loaf Of
Yankee bread 50 they will have some
when they go into a French restaurant.
But few do this. They don't want to
be encountered all day long with loaf
Of bread under their arm. They are
willing to take chance on getting in
to restaurant where they can get
bread or, If the worst comes, go with
out.
