The arrest on charges Of high trea-
son of August Thyssen, known as the
iron king Of Germany. and several
other manufacturers Of the Dusseldorf

to the severance of consular relations
between the republics of Chile and
Peru have been viewed by the gov

convoking of the peace conference in
Paris, in which it is confidently ex-
pected that steps will be taken to
provide for an era of lasting peace

astrous. and those persons who had
caused this condition would be charged
with grave responsibility before the
world for their actions.

MAP SHOWING CHANGES IN BATTLEFRONT

Activity on the battle front has
spread until it now reaches almost
The entire length of the line from
the North sea TO Reims. The solid
black line shows the battle line as
it stood before the allies took the
offensive July ) and the white line
represents the battle line as II
stood at late hour this afternoon.
Thus the wide expanse of territory
between the solid LACK line and the
white line shows the amount of
ground reclaimed by the allies dur
ing their offensive operations
he last OF July and the month
of August. The dotted black line is
the old Hindenburg line.
Though the activity on the battle
front extends over a vast area, the
most pronounced fighting is con-
fined to three sectors The interest
today centers in the battle raging
in the Lys salient in Flanders. Here
the British are rapidly f1attening
out the salient made by the Ger
mans iii March They have taken
a number of important towns and
have regained Mont KENNEL. the
heights for which the Germans paid
so dearly last spring. The Germans
are reported retreating on the
whole front in this sector.
Another point Of marked fighting
is about Peronne, where the British
are steadily forcing the Germans
back despite their stubborn resist
ance. Here General Haig's forces
have captured more ground and
villages about Peronne, thus max
ing the enemy occupation of that
stronghold shorter lived and its ulti-
mate evacuation probable
Further south the French fighting
in the Noyon sector are reported to
have occupied strip of woods

Chateau.
