the American first army in Lorraine

distance from the Zip Of the salient
below ST Mfhiei, to Hattonville. a
mile and a half north OF VigneaIses,
throngh which the American Line
was reported as running.
The Germans are reported read

the former salient, the probabilities
being, however, that they are not be-

the American forces or the French on
the flanks.
What further development the Of

been engaged during this war can be

Mr.. Hill.
When asked question about this
earthquake l replied that | knew
nothing about it officially.
When asked my personal Opin-

shock was due to volcanic action
which centered at sea about $50
miles northwest of the island of
Vieques; not a volcanic eruption,
since this, in all probability
should have caused a strong mag
netic disturbance.

of Breat Britain and Ireland. Pre-

the relations of the Entente, from
| its beginning. The union between
two great peoples said-be-
tween France and England, has
been accomplished, in oHder to
to undertake a great civili-
zing mission. The two countries,
continued the President, did all
what was humanity possible to
avoid the terrible conflict, compa-
tible with the dignity of the civil
lized world. France will never
forget the services England rend-
cred to the common cause. The
friendship, which was sacredly
sealed at the fields of battle, has
developed into permanent
alliance, which in the future will
have opportunity to show its sta
billy. "As both countries stood by
each other in hour of danger, so
they will be at the hour of happi-
ness France and Great Britain will
finally marge tseir energies
into single force. to work better
for the progress of the world. The
King answered thanking, in a
a touching manner, the President.
the following points of his reply
being the following: II cordially
congratulate you and the French
people for the glorious part taken
by France i'll the victory just
achieved, and to which my gene
rails and troops were happy to
contribute. In the mortal combat
against the forces of destruction
and barbarism, our two peoples
were always true to each other,
their hearts beating as if they had
been a single one; 1 hope the same
cordiality will exist for ever, so
that we can work the better for
civilization and progress. We
shall never forget our glorious
dead, and the mortal hours when
