Army Is Withdrawing to
New Line Of Defense.

With the Army In France.-The
Germans have been dealt one blow
after another during the past week, but
the feature probably of greatest In
terest to the American people was the
determined attack OF the American
troops, under the direct command of
General Pershing, upon the Germans
In the st. Mihlel salient. The primary
detectives were quickly reached, the
salient was cleared of the enemy, and
the Americans are now pushing for
ward in the direction of Metz, the
great German fortress taken from the
French nearly half Il century ago. The
movement Is one of the master strokes
of the whole war, for IL the Germans
lose Metz and the Briery iron mines,
they will be greatly handicapped In
their efforts to withstand future at
tacks to be-made by the allied forces
on H.. the fronts. In.two days of fight
Ing the Americans penetrated the Ger
man lines to depth of thirteen miles,
and captured numerous towns and viii
lagos. The number OF prisoners taken
exceeds 10000. which is approximately
the strength of two enemy divisions.
The French troops also were active
In various other sectors, and on Satur-
day morning Field Marshal Foch
launched an attack aimed at the st.
Gobain massif, defending the German
citadel of Loan. The attack was made
on both sides OF the river Ailette and
in the region of tie Alsne to the south
and southwest.
The important height. Mont-des-
Singes, and the towns of Annemont
and Sancy have been taken. and the
advance at this point threatens the

General remarks: Morale-In gen.
eral, the prisoners make a good inn
preston. Their manner is alert. At
present they still consider the war
from the point of view of a big
brother who is coming to the assist
ance of his oppressed brothers and
sisters. and who is received every
where in a friendly manner. Their
opinions have certain moral basis:
Most of the prisoners express them
selves with an understandable
naivete, and declare that they came
to Europe to defend their country.
Only a few of the men are pure
American by race. The majority of
them are sons of foreign parents.
These half-Americans, however, most
of whom were born In America and
have never been in Europe, express
without hesitation purely American
sentiments.

Braden Now Director of Athletics
for Whole Army Of

Twelve "Y" men Of Meade are now

and 1t will be Of interest to their old
friends here to know something OF
their latest movements.

rector here, volunteered for foreign
service and was sent to Italy. His
work there came to the attention Of
the military authorities In SO striking
a manner that he was appointed con-
trolier of athletics for the entire
Italian army in the field.
"Braden has become one of, the
most important Americans associated
with the Italians" is the report which
comes from New York.

His work has resulted In the in@mg-

1t is the custom of the "Y" to send
secretaries with departing troops aa
far as the embar kation ports. They
are not permitted to go to France.
Several reasons control this arrange.
ment, one being the necessity OF
keeping intact as far as possible the
organization in the several camps.
Another is the fact that most of the
"Y" men are debarred from foreign
service because OF family responsible
ity.
The volunteer system is adopted In
the foreign service and when a man
is found qualified and physically ft
for the arduous duties of the battle
front he is generally permitted to go.
The severing of old ties at the en-
barkation points Is a severe trial to
"Y' men as well as to soldiers.
