REVOLUTION AMONG
 GERMAN TROOPS |S
 SPREADING RAPIDLY

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE. Sept. 6.-(By the Associated Press) Sparks of revolution seem to be flying in the German army. Prison CTS taken by the British mention the distribution of pacific and revolution ary pamphlets among the troops.
 One recently returned from leave said when in company of large num- Der of Bavarians he was shown revo- lutionary pamphlets which he was told were being widely circulated. All the pamphlets were violently anti-Prus- sian and appealed to the men to re- fuse to fight.
 Men Shoot Commander.
 It was said that during the recent fighting the commanding officer of the 137th pioneer battalion of the 52nd division was shot by his men when he attempted to stop panic stricken rush from the trenches.
 A battalion surgeon captured said all the regimental officers he knew believed that General Ludendorff would fight delaying actions until the allied offensives had died out. the same as Germany did. at the same time sav- ing his "elite divisions" for counter stroke, preparations for which were now being made.
 If the allies ever reached the Rhine, said the doctor, Germany would make peace, no matter at what price.
 The doctor seemed considerably per turbed that the Rhine might be reached.

 ATTACK BY VILLA

FL PASO, Tex. Sept. 6.-Chihuahua City is preparing for an attack by Francisco Villa on the night of Sep tember Is. the second anniversary of his last capture of the state capital, Americans arriving here from Mexico late today reported.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The Chicago National put the worlds series on fifty fifty basis today by defeating the Boston Americans to 1 in good old fashioned game of baseball.
 Tyler. pitching for Chicago, was the hero of the contest, for he projected steady stream of bafflers and capped the climax by shooting a single over second that scored two runs.
 All of Chicago's runs were made in the second, when Bush, on the bridge for the Red Sox, could see periscopes bobbing up all around his craft. Bos- tons run came in a desperate and spectacular rally in the ninth.
 Strunk, the first man up for the wis itors. selecting a 'big Bertha from among the bats, slammed the ball against the right field fence.
 Whiteman Smashes Out Homer.
 Whiteman, who aided materially in Boston's winning rally yesterday, was cheered as he came up. His wallop was the mightiest of the series thus far, the ball smashing into the word buy" in the war savings sign in center. Strunk trotted home and the Chicagoans who had counted the game won, halted or their way to the exits.
 Tyler. however, steadied and threw McInnis out at first. Scott was al. lowed to walk, and the gigantic Dubut came to bat for Thomas. He foule6 off half dozen good ones and strucl out on a wide one. Schang, who bat. | ted for Agnew, popped to Hollochei and the game was over.

MADE NO ATTEMPT
 ID VEIL RETREAT

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Sept. 6.-The Germans are across the river Aisne and this time they made no attempt to veil their re- tirement or even exact ordinary penal . ties for the advance Of the Americans. The opposition which they put up be- tween the Vesle and Aisne was slight,
 The Aisne region was illuminated last night by stores and villages set afire byI the Germans to celebrate their final retirement from this part of their captured territory.
 The machine guns left behind to check the American advance were quite inadequate even to slow up ths pace. Further east the French are up against stiffer resistance, but the Americans everywhere have gained the crest of the hills.

AMERICANS SL|KE[Y T0 GET IN BATTLE
 SOON SAY EXPERTS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The hour when General Pershing's army will be thrown into the battle is rapidly ap- preaching in the opinion of many of- ficials at the war department.
 Development today indicated to these observers that the German withdrawal was nearing the point when Marshal Foch would make use of every avail able weapon to prevent the enemy from making a stand in his old positions along the Hindenburg line.
 Will Supply Pershins's Army
 A new attack far to the south and east of the present battle area would compel him to rush reserves to that front and it is in such an attack that many officials are confident that Gen. eral Pershing's army will be employed
 The St. Mihiel salient, where the German lines thrust forward beyond verdun on the west, might offer a chance for Foch's favorite pincer tact ics, some officers think. There are in- dications that this front is held by Americans with the exception of the defenses of Verdun itself and the lines southeast of that city. If General Pershing should fstrike suddenly to- ward Metz and meet with any success it is thought the enemy might be forced to evacuate the whole St. Mihiel bend

 BUILDING CAUGHT
TRepubIican A. p. Leased wIrel

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Two men of the name of Wilson were taken into GUS today in connection with the planting of bomb in the federal building on Wednesday and both have been identi- fled as having been in the postoffice shortly before the explosion that killed four persons and maimed many others. The city police do not charge that either man was implicated in the plot, but States Attorney Hoyne said one of the Wilson's was the man who placed the bomb.
 There to Assist Haywood
 John w. Wilson was arrested last night. He was once clerk for William D. Haywood, convicted secretary of the l. w. w. He said he was in the federal building shortly before the ex- plosion. but simply to assist Haywood, who was there when the bomb was detonated. He was accused of impli- cation in the plot today by Assistant States Attorney Sullivan. Later Chief of Police Alcock said he could not say whether this Wilson was involved or not.
 This Wilson Identified Harry Wilson was arrested at the home of Nina Van Zant Spies, widow Of August Spies, who was hanged for connection with the Haymarket riot bomb some 30 years ago. States At- torney Hoyne said tonight that this Wilson had been identified to his satis- faction as the man who ran from the postoffice a few minutes before the ex- plosion.
 Both Wilson's proclaim xheir inno- cence. despite long questioning by the police and federal and county detec- tives. Mrs. Spies was also taken into custody as was Mrs. Minnie Wymann at first said to be a sister of Haywood but later described as friend of the I W. w. secretary.

 Particularly heavy defeats have bee.. inflicted on them by the French in the old Noyon salient and by the French and Americans in the region between the Vesle and Aisne east of Soissons.
 To the north, the British have pushed their lines eastward at numerous points for important gains and daily are in- creasing the menace gainst the entire German line.
 Abreast Old German Defense
 In the old Noyon salient the French have captured the important junction towns of Ham and Chauny with their railroads and high roads leading respec- lively into St. Quentin and La Fere. Across the canal du Nord they have penetrated at various points to depth exceeding six miles.
 The little forest of Coucy, the west ern portion of the great wooded sector east of Laon that has barred a direct advance eastward has been entirely taken and across the Ailette river Gen eral Mangin's forces have re-occupied additional points which have brought them abreast the old German defense line, outflanking the present German line in this region and that north of the Aisne which is now pressing backward toward the Chemin des Danes. Americans Have Made Progress | Thel atest French official statement | records that French troops on the north | bank of the Aisne have reoccupicd all their trenches and says that eastward | the Americans have made progress In tn. region of Villers- en- Prayeres and Revillon. which brings their front ap- preciably nearer the Aisne and also gives them position which dominates the territory southeastward toward Rcims. Much probably will depend on this dominating position. together with the pressure that the French to the east may bring. in starting a retro grade movement by the Germans from 1 the Reims sector.
 Old Salient 6Iotted Out
 With the old Noyon salient now prac- tically plotted out-with all it's roads and strategic points in the hands o1 the French and with St. Quentin ser iously menaced by the British, and the Germans in retreat from the Vesle tt the Aisne, it seems apparent that the enemy soon must re-establish. theil battle front in the west.
 East of Peronne the British are ad. vancing over a front of approximately seven miles toward St. Quentin. having captured many towns. Where the en. emy has attempted resistance it ha. quickly been overcome.
 In tch north. further gains have beer made in the direction of Cambrai. ant on the Lys salient Field Marshal Haig'I men are still engaged in successful, narrowing down what remains of tn, old salient.

 Meanwhile the 800 are being de- tained Several are still wearing the evening clothes they had on when they were seized. One Italian brought to camp a pair of his wife's shoes which he was taking to the cobbler's when he was arrested.
