sweep Of the front, British and French
armies are stOrming ahead night ant
day, harassing the gray coated German
divisions without rest,
Pershings men stand before Metz
and Contains and against that new
threat the enemy must gather reserves
here on this new front at the very
time when every available reserve di-
vision is sorely needed to meet the al
lied rusn to the north.
Sans of further Withdrawals are
manifest along wide sectors OF tn1
German front
In payment Cor their lavish expendi-
ture of lives in the aoortive offensive,
the German leaders have now been
compelled by formal decree to reduce
the fighting strength Of every unit
There apre GOOD reason to believe
that the German losses In prisoners
since the tide turned against them in
July would reach well up toward 200,-
900 were the truth known The losse;
in guns and other material have not
been computed
With this steadily increased super
.ority in both man power and war ma
terial at his command, military author
tiles here feel that perhaps the most
striking asset Marshal F0ch has ac-
'quired in his two months of swift and
victorious counter blows Is the power
to take the enemy by surprise at viii,
lt is now possible almost overnight,
to bring up the men and the mobile ar
tillery for thrust at any sector.
Under the direction of the great
French leader, the whole froit, ylrtu-
ally is kept in constant state Vi
preparation for attack
Military officials, both allied ant
American, are very cautious in predic-
tons. They have been unable to con
ceal completely, however. their grow.
ing elation and there is no doubt thai
many Of them here are looking for
ward TO new and greater successes b..
fore winter slows down the fi1hting.

THE SOUTH AGAINST THE

Washington, ept 21.-Chargcs thai
political influence has been br0ugh
to bear on Secretary Baker in making
selections for cantonment sites anu
for the location of other war activities
were made in the house today by Rep
resentatiye Robbins of Pennsylvania
republican.
Discrimination in favor Of the South
as against the North was charged by
Mr. Robbins. who declared that q
Democratic states the treasury is
sending flow Of gold to meet political
eMgencies.
This is true, he said, in spite Of the
fact that the north furnishes more men
for the war than the south. and thal
it pays much more in federal taxes to
carry the burdens of the war
The representatire declared that
sixteen southern states had received
from the federal government a totaI
.of s490, i06,b9l for camps and war
plants, while Pennsylvania has re
ceived only little more than $S,OOc.-
900 and other northern states have re-
ceived proportionately the same.
Replying to Representative Robbins
Representative Heflin, of Alabama, de.
MED the charge that the administra-
tion has displayed sectionaiism. H'
said Pennsylvania had received from
l$5O,O000O0 to $50 O00.O 900 for every 81,
000,0O0 spent in Alabama ami that TIN
north generaliy had enjoyed the eN
penditure of $150O00,00O for every 81,

Allied troops are progressing satis
factorily in breaking down the defens
es Of St Quentin On the north the
british are fighting in the Hindenburs
positions and pressing toward the ca
nal between st. Quentin ANA Cambrai,
while on the south the French are
moving forward steadily
For a stretch OF more than ten miles
north Of ST Quentin the British now
hold the dominating hills and the pres
ent local action in the region west Of
Catelet IToOably is for the purpose Of
further improving the situation in an
t!cipatlon Of a great assault against the
Hindenburg line. The main enemy de
fenses in the region between Cambria
and St Quentin both OF which are
threatened by the present British op-
eratlons, are based on the canal high
way ana railway running north and
south on an average OF about two miles
from Field Marshal Haigs front line
Towards LeCatelet they are pushing
eastward on a front Of three miles ana
are within four miles of the town.
With the Australians already in the
Iiindenburg positions, other British
forces are rapidly overrunning them
north of Harg!couTt. West of st. Quen-
lin the French are within two miles Of
the outskirts, while on the south they
are forcing the Germans to give up I'M
portant villages and other positions.
St Quentin, as a result Of the Week $
operations. is in a more serious p0-
eiton FROM the enemy viewpoint than
probably at any time since the begin
ming Of the war A further push east
ward by the British from their newly
won height positions on the northWest
will virtually place the allies on three
sides of the town ST quentin Is an
important outpost of Laon. perhaps the
most important enemy base in north
ern France. The French on the south
are ten miles from Laon and are ham
mering it with their big guns
Southwest OF Metz, whore Inc
French and Americans recently cleared
the st. Mihiel salient, the Germans
have started further fires. Soldie IS
and wagon trains have been seen NOV
ing northward and it is believed the
Germans are preparing FOR a possible
allied attack or a retirement on their
initiative.
Elsewhere on the western front
there has been 40 change in the situa-
ton.
The allied stroke in Macedonia
which opened with the expulsion OF the
Dulgarians from the important Sokol
positions, is developing succes sively
on a wide front. Further progress OF
the Seros toward the Nardar river ana
the Uskub- Saionika railroad parallel
ing it, probably will bring a readjust-
ment of the Austro-German aud Bull
garlan positions throughout this whole
theatre.
The British and Greeks continue
their pressure in the Doiran region
but evidently their activity is mainly
for the purpose Of keeping the enemy
occupied 80 that he cannot send aid &c

II is reported from Ukrainian sourcei
that the crown prince of Rumania has
fled from Jassy to Odessa. The reason
for his flight is not disclosed. Recent

KING AND QUEEN
/. FLY OVER CHANNEL
BeIgians' Rulers Visit Eng
land, Making Trip in Sep
arate SeapIanes.

LONDON. July 1o.-A royal air es-
cort Of three Belgian seaplanes guard
ed King Albert and Queen Elizabeth
on their flight over the channel from
Belgium to England Saturday morning
on a trip which marked the first time
in history that any ruler has ever
made q flight from one country to an
other. The royal couple Travelled in
separate seaplanes. each operated by
a Belgian army aviator. On the Brit
ish side of the channel the king land
ed first near a. British warship off
Dover. The queen descended soon
afterward. her seaplane also landing
near a warship. They started from
the Belgian coast and made the trip
to England in about fifty minutes.
The purpose of their visit to England
was to attend the silver anniversary
of King George and Queen Mary on
Saturday.
This is the first time since the war
began that King Albert has visited
London and virtually the first time
since August, 1914, that he has been
outside his native land. The only
time that King Albert has been out
side of Belgium has been during one
or two informal trips into France.
