London, May 10.-Tonight's official report from British headquarters fol- lows:
 "There was local fighting today around Aveluy wood.
 Apart from hostile artillery ac- tivity at different points, particularly Vimy and Robecq sectors and south of Dickebusch, there is nothing fur ther to report"
 With the British Army in France, May 10.-The operation by which the British regained in a eounter-assault the small portion of trench north of Albert, which the Germans had cap tured yesterday while a small one was important. The positions in question lay on high ground which had been hotly contested ever since the Ger mans stormed their way into Albert
 Field Marshal Haig today expressed his deep appreciation of the services rendered by the British artillery in the recent battles of the River Somme and River Lys. He said the infantry was the first to admit the inestimable value of artillery support.
 The British commander in- chief said he was confident that the reliance of each arm upon the most whole hearted and self-sacrihcing coopera- tion of the other was the greatest possible assurance that all further asl saults would be met and defeated.
 British operations were reviewed in the following day official statement:
 "The small portion of our front trench northeast of Albert, gained by the enemy as a result of his attack yesterday morning, was recaptured by us during the evening by coun- ter attack. We took few prisoners.
 "The hostile artillery was active last night in the valleys of the Somme and Ancre rivers, and at different points on the Lys battle front"

:, .,ote Cruiser Vindictive is VSsUk S"uk at Harbor Entrance O 0as Motor Launch Was Sent @ Hown During Fighting.

London, May 1o.-The German sub marine base of ostend, on the Belgian ~ ...t has been blocked as 9 result of new raid by the British naval 1orces' a. odmiralty announces. The obso- '., s cruiser Vindictive, filled with con- ,rste. has been sunk across the en- trance to the harbor.
 The British lost one motor boat. Their casualties were light.
 Regarding reports that German .,hmarines have been unable to enter Flemish ports and have had to return to Germany, Reuters Limited says 1t ;s unable to obtain confirmation in naval quarters.
 Photographic and other evidence from Zeebrugge show that the Bruges Canal is still entirely blocked as rssult of the British raid of April 23 and that it cannot be used. The ob- sanctions. it has been found, were better placed than was at first sup posed. German attempts to clear the waterway are meeting with no sue cess as a result of British air activity and other causes.
 The announcement follows:
 Operations designed to close the ports of Ostend and Zeebrugge were successfully completed last night when the obsolete cruiser Vindictive was sunk between the piers and across the entrance to Ostend harbor.
 Since the attack on Zeebrugge on April 23 the Vindictive had been filled with concrete and fitted as a block ship for this purpose.
 Our light forces have returned to their base with the loss of one motor launch, which had been damaged and was sunk by orders of the vice ad- miral to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy.

8 SOLDIERS KILLED,
 26 HURT IN WRECK
They Had Just Entrained at Camp Jackson for Sevier- Spreading Rails Blamed - Wooden Coach Smashed.

Columbia, s. C., May 10.-Eight soldiers were killed and 26 injured when a wooden passenger coach, load ed with soldiers of the 321st Infantry, jumped a trestle at Camp Jackson this morning.
 The soldiers had just entrained for Camp Sevier at Greenville and the train was pulling out of the camp at very low rate of speed. As it ap- preached a trestle a big steel coach struck spreading rail. This hurled the wooden coach immediately in front down the embankmen. The front part of the steel coach jumped the track, but the car did not turn over.
 The wooden coach was badly de- molshed and it was considered al- most miraculous that any of the 80 men in it escaped alive.
 The hospital train at the camp was called out immediately after the wreck and in 20 minutes all of the men had been removed and the in- iured were in the base hospital.

ENEMY LOSS TERRIBLE
By the Associated Press.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE
MARINE, July 21.-The French and
Americans have broken through the
German line northwest of Chateau
Thierry Driving the spearhead to-
ward the northeast, already they have
advanced five kilometers (3 LILO miles)
at various places.
The allied troops have taken many
prisoners. including three officers. who
said that they were tired of the war.
American intantrymen captured two
German us.
Previous to the breaking of the Ger
man lines the Allies battled with the
desperate machine gunners. who we're
moved down as allied reenforcements
arrived. The German losses were ter
rible.
Chateau Thierry was evacuated in the
night the French and American troops
passing through the town shortly after
dawn on the trail Of the retreating Ger
mans. Almost simultaneously the French
and Americans moved forward the south
ern part OF their line, extending north
and west from Chateau Thierry, until
a correction OF the entire line from
scissors and southwark of that point
had been effected-an even advance Of
something more than seven miles.
The armies of the Crown Prince were
retreating tonight, while the allied
forces of Gen. Foch harassed their rear
and continued their smashing drive along
the German right flank. 1t is expected
that II the Germans succeed in extricat-
ing themselves II will be only at the
cost OF large numbers of men and OF
material and supplies
The heavy artillery OF the Allies con-
tinues to-day the clearing OF districts
north of the Marine. Indian scouts who
were with Pershing in Mexico played a
prominent part in the scout work in the
river region.
Two badly cut up regiments were left
south of the Marne in the German re.
treat. Allied aviators bombed the
bridges across the river and their es-
cape was impossible.
Germany has already paid a terrible
price in the fghtlng between scissors
and Chateau Thierry. The advancing
allied forces have passed great piles o.
dead and many wounded. These suf-
ferers are cared for expeoitiously and
well, and the allied forces are display
ing a fine spirit of cooperation.

Expected-Pressure Enemy Flanks

front The army of Gen. Degoitte Is al
ready north Of the Marie in the sector
between Chateau Thierry and Villers-
Cotterets Forest. where it otherwise
would be defending an awkward salient.
Consequently we may now expect to see
a more pronounced advance here In the
immediate future rather than further
north.
On the eighty mile battle front from
the Ainse to Massiges the Allies are at
tacking from the Aisne to the Marine
and between the Marne and Rheims
while Gen. Gourad's army on the right
holds the enemy completely in check.
The French, American and Italian troops

fought magnificently.
Gen. Foch and his Generals, after
biding their time, have struck at the
right moment The whole position Of
the armies is altered radically from

Is the Chateau Thierry-Soissons road
Practically along the whole front the
French lines are now within a distance
OF that objective of one to three miles

fectively cut by the French artillery fire
The loss OF this road seriously affects
the German positions west of Rheims
since between it and the road from
Scissors through Fere- -Tardenois COM

maintained only by a few second class
roads.
On the extreme left Of the French are

Ray have each ap- peared in several Aircraft and Para mount pictures, but Miss Bennett, popular young beauty that she is, had more than an ordinary amount of difficulty in being allowed by another firm to enlist as Paramount star and had to win a law suit to be all lowed to proceed in the even tenor of her way.
 Now all difficulties as to legal contract entanglements, having been swept away by her winning the suit, Miss Bennett is appearing in her first Paramount production under the personal supervision of MT. Ince. The picture is known as The Keys of the Righteous" and is being shown at the Empire today and tomorrow. Miss Bennett and the Ince company went to Arrowhead Springs, Cal, tc film scenes.
 The picture gives every indication Of being an altogether unusual feature unusual as to story, as well as tc the high character of its production Miss Bennett has a role in which hel beauty and dramatic talent find wide scope for exploitation
 The story has to do with the de- votion of young girl for her father who, weakened by dissipation, has de serted his wife, returning just as the latter is about to die. The mother entrusts the keeping of the father tt the young daughter, the part playe; by Miss Bennett-and just how wei the girl carries out her mother wishes is very interestingly told il the photoplay.
