TIGERS CATCH TWO
 OPIUM SMUGGLERS
(Detroit News)

A singular tiger tale comes from village in Java, where the tigers had been committing havoc for some time. One day two contraband opium snug glers. while passing through the forest, saw two tigers following them. They were armed only with knives and so they ran as fast as they could, but the tigers. as may be supposed, rapidly gained on them
 When almost overtaken they spied tiger trap. a sort of boxlike affair, and both gladly rushed in, carrying their burdens with them. The trap shut down very closely. but that pleased them nightly, as they could hear the tigers scratching and snarIing on the outside. The night passed in this way and at dawn of day the tigers scamp cred off and the smugglers essayed to do likewise but all their efforts were unavailing. They were in a trap, sure enough.
 In a few hours the settlers came to have a look at the trap and rejoiced to see it closed, thinking a tiger had been caught. Their joy was redoubled, how ever, when, the prize proved to be the unlucky smugglers with a valuable load of opium, and the unluclly fel- lows were marched off to jail in tri- umph.

ROOSEVELT DENOUNCES
 SLACKERS IN SHIPYARDS

Newburgh N. Y, Sept. 2.-Slackers in American shipyards who loaf indi- vidually and unions of shipbujlders which limit the output of ships were denounced by Theodore Roosevelt to- day as traitors 4 Ehe country. Colonel Roosevelt delivered an address on the occasion of the launching from the NeWburgh shipyards of the first of. ten vessels, each of 5000 tons dead! weight, which are to be built here for the United States shipping board.
 Colonel Roosevelt expressly ex- empted the employees of the local yard from his denunciation by saying that he understood that a warm spirit of helpfulness and cooperation had been developed here. Emphasizing the patriotic service rendered by ship builders, the colonel said:
 "A stacker in our shipyards is as shameful a creature as a coward in the army in France, and good worker in the shipyards stands honora5ly for ward like a good soldier in the army.
 If I had my way. I would take any such man and any men who aided or abetted him, put him in the army at once, and send him across the water to do the hardest work in the most dangerous position; and I would not give him rife until he had learned the spirit of patriotism. Any man who lays of now or scanips his job is a traitor to his fellow Americans in France, a traitor to the men who need all the help we can give them. On the other hand. you, whom I am con- vinced represent the enormous major ity of the shipyard workers, you who are doing your utmost night and day week in and week out, stand on the honor roll of AmeSican citizenship as | second only to our troops in France and I honor you. I am proud beyond
 measure that I am your fellow ooun- l tryman"

 Over a front of thirty miles from the region Of Arras 10 Peronne, Field Marshal Haig's forces literally have smashed the German front
 The southern portion of the famous nrocourt- -Queant switch line, which had been heralded as the impregnable hulwark of the German defense in the north has given way under the vio- fence Of the British onslaught over it's entire front from the Scarpe river to Queant. a distance of virtually ten miles. and Monday night saw the Canadian and English troops who car ried out the nianoeuvre hard after the defeated enemy some three miles to the eastward.
 Thousands of prisoners have been taken from the strongly resisting en- cmy, who at last accounts was fight ing violently as he gave ground toward the Canal du Nord.
 By this victory seemingly is ended the menace of the Hindenburg line to tho south. which the British gradually are approaching over it's entire front. Already thoroughly outflanked on the north and with the French well up on its southern base, military necessity apparently will require that the Ger mans relin1uish the Hindenburg forti- hcauons and realign their front from Flanders 70 Rheims in order to avert disaster at the hands of their now swiftly moving antagonists.
 Already the roads to Douai. Cam hrai and St. Quentin are thoroughly invested by the British and French armies, while north Of Soissons the French and Americans are in posi- fions of vantage from which to carry out turning movements which will out flank Laon and the Chemin des Danes and Aisne lines. The situation of the enemy. viewed from the war maps, is the most pcrilous he yet has been in.
 Added to the troubles of the Ger man high command Is the situation that Is fast developing in Flanders, in

Under Violence of the British Onslaught the Southern Portion of the Famous Drocourt-Q Queant Switch Line Has Given Way-Canadians and British Advanced Three Miles.

the region around Ypres, where the Germans daily are being forced out of their positions by the British and American troops. All over this sector steady progress is being made east ward in the plotting out of the salient that long has existed there. The Americans, who took Boormezeele Sunday, now are we'll into the region east of the town. having overcome the strong resistance of the Germans who endeavored to bar their way. A few more strides by Haig's men in this re- zion and Arnentieres will be within striking distance. After Armentieres it is but a step to Lille.
 Hard fighting has been in progress between the British and Germans around Peronne, where the Australians successfully withstood violent attacks and have taken several thousand pris- oners. Between Peronne and Bapaume
 the Germans also have imposed strong
 opposition to the British, but the St.
 Pierre Vast Wood, Le Transloy and Allaines and Haut-Allaines all have
 been successfully carried.
 On the southern end of the front to ! Soissons the French have made an- other important crossing of the Canal 1 du Nord, this time east of Nesle,
 which places them well on the road to Ham, the last remaining important ! junction point in the Somme Disc sec
 tor, with lines leading from it to St. | Quentin and La Fere.
 North of Soissons equally important | progress has been made. Here where | the Americans are in line with the French, gains have been made on the plateau east of Grecy au Mont and | Juvigny and the villages of Leuiily and | Terny Sorny have been taken, not withstanGi1g stubborn resistance. l If these gains, if they are continued | seemingly cannot but result shortly
