 After Chaulnes fell, Gommiecourt to the north. and Sepfours were taken by the French, while later Cressy, Bala- tre, Champiene and Roiglise, between Nesle and Rove, were captured and more than a score of other villages occupied. The battlefield where the Germans have been defeated presents a picture of de- vastation and desolation that has not been surpassed during the war. Rove and the villages around about have been
 as thoroughly demolished as Montdidier and Moreuil. Even cemeteries have bean blown up, tombstones smasher and graves opened. The names of towns in this region no longer have any other significance than as a reminiscence and a geographical designation. They have ceased to exist as towns. Their sites are hardly recognizable, for the intense smelling has not only obliterated streets and defaced boundary lines, but has rendered the topography unrecognizable in many places.
 The ruins abandoned by the Germans 1 previously were carefully filled with mus tard gas. For this reason Rove is still inaccessible for occupation.
 The Germahs were not able to use all l the gas projectiles they brought to the | present front and large dumps of them | fell into French hands, They are now be- l ing fired against the enemy from some l of the Hundreds of German guns the | French First army has taken since Au- gust 8.

 hours, if the French so elect.

 positions to the northeast, in the hills along the Disc, and in the northwest on 1 the west bank of the Canal Du Nord, 1 to protect their retreat to the forest of l St. Gobain and the Hindenburg line. 1 It is not considered possible that the l German retreat will halt on the Disc, so 1 close are the French pressing the en- emy. French patrols reached the region 1 of Bethancourt this afternloon. 1 The crossing of the canal and the | River Somme dn that region by the 1 French troops would create the gravest l menace to the safety of the enemy s

 ceding the mass meeting, at which there
 would be about 400 men. Everything

 states in his district, and one or two men from Washington of national repu- l tation here, to make speeches on thai 1 occasion.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, August 8.--According to the
 weekly weather report the past week
 was most unfavorable for the crop. It was this report which really started the advance today. No one cares to sell cotton short in face of these reports. and the amount of new cotton being hedged
 so far has not been sufficient to supply as result of the low crop conditions. A rumor was current that Japanese firms had been large buyers through Wall street houses. New England spinners do not appear to be interested. probably because they are looking for change ' in the government price for their goods.

ENEMY PLANS FoREsTALLED

Paris, August 2S-(By the Associated Press. )-The British and French gains are placing the Germans in precarl- ous position and it is believed here have forestalled the plan of General Ludendorff to fall back on the old Hin- denburg linee The fall of Rove to the troops of General Debeny undoubtedly will hasten the German retirement be- tween the Somme and the Disc. Equal ly menacing to the Germans are the British gains toward Combles and along the Scarpe.
 The German command apparently planned to pivot the retiring movement on the line east of Arras with the divisions south of it marching back to the old German line. Such plan would be difficult to carry out under the most favorable circumstances.
 The British onslaught on Bapaume added to the difficulties of carrying out this plan and the extension of the battle line to the Scarpe made things very much worse This is because the British struck at the hinge by attack ing and breaking through from Gav- relic and Croisilles.
 That is why the Germans are mak- ing such determined resistance and also why they are reacting so furious ly at the other end of the line be- tween the Ailette and the Aisne.

 flee of an immense quantity of material in the region between Rove and the canal in order to accelerate the retro grade movement, which in some places has been so rapid that contact between
 the French advanced guards and the enemy's machine gun sections protecting the German rear has almost been broken.

MEANING OF BOLSHEVlE<I

a matter of familiarity with the ap-
pearance of words that makes the diff
ference. Americans cannot all nave
Russian grammars available TO look
up the sounds of the letters OF the
Russian alphabet.
The fact is that the English Ian
guage is not scot-free in this respect.
Russians who have tackled the Eng
lish language complain bitterly about
the difficulties in the spelling. accus-
ing us of using in some cases 100 per
cent more letters than are needed to
spell a word. They point to the word
though. which could be, and is being
spelled tho. They cannot understand
use six letters in spelling word
when three would do as well.
AS to the political significance of the
word, as understood and used at the
present time. this depends entirely
upon the point of view. Since boil
sheviki, in the superlative, means the
greatest number. or. more broadly,
the masses. it may be translated into
the people. the populace. the mob. the
proletariate or any other name OF
the literary taste of the individual
reader. The bolsheviki are just now
busily occupied at home and will not
have time to worry over what people
several thousand miles away think Of
them when their own fellow citizens
keep them awake at night.
There is just one more explanation
to be added regarding the meaning of
the word. The final syllables, Wiki.
express, as has been shown, the su-
perlative. and in that sense may also
express the extreme. The bolshevtkf
are, therefore, called the maximalists.
or extremists, in contradistinction to
the minimaliStS or conservatives. The
maximalists represent Just now the
revolutionary majority of the people.
the masses: the. minimalists stand for
the minority, as the word indicate
There is. however, a distinction in the
application Of the words bolsheviki
and maximaIists. A bolshevik is al
ways a maximalist. but a maximalist
is not necessarily a bolshevik. The
word maxmalist is general in its
meaning and application, while boil
shevik has a restricted party sense.
This can be explained more clearly
by examining the party names in the
United States. The United States is a
democracy. therefore every citizen Is
a democrat or a maximalist. A re-
publican is a democrat as a citizen of
our democracy, or a maximalist, but
as a republican he is also a party man
or a minimalist. just as a democrat is
such either in the broad national
sense or in the restricted party mean
ing.
We. therefore. read in the news
papers about bolshevfk and maxi
malist members of the Russian duma.
AS such they are mere party members.
although their general policies may
be the same.
