NetD German Line
N q K e s Difficult
Attacks by Tanks

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Oct. 13 (By The Associated
Press) 6 p. m).-Laon was entered
by the French troops to-day.
The line upon which the Germans
rave fallen back is the waterway for
q considerable part of the distance
rom the Mouse to the Belgian from
Ser. The left wing rests upon the
Aisne and the bend of the river from
The region north of the Argonne around
20 its junction with the Suippe. In the
centre the rivers Serre and Disc and
he Sambre Canal furnish natural
defence, which is prolonged further
north by L'Escaut Canal.
This line furnishes particularly
strong obstacle to attacks by tanks,
which would find difficulty in crossing
: under the fire Of the artillery which
The Germans appear to have massed
back OF their line and which is still
quite active.
New-York tribune., 1918-10-14

Germans displayed more than usua,
activity in shelling certain positions
East and west of the Meuse they
brought up fresh forces and countel
attacked. All Of these attacks broke
down before the violent firing os the
Americans.
Many German Shells Defective
AS the day wore on the fighting de-
veloped greater intensity along the
western part of the line, but it was
confined almost wholly to the artillery
wings, the American fire finally attain
ing the proportions Of barrage, al
though it was not followed up by in
fantry attack.
THE American troops OF both sides
of the Meuse have obtained their OBJ
jectives," was the official characterize
tion tonight of the days operations.
The total prisoners taken since Sep
tcmber 26 is 1869.
An increased percentage Of defective
ammunition appears to have been used
to-day by the Germans. Montfaucon
was shelled rather heavily, but q check
late to-day showed that 80 per cent OF
The missiles we're "duds."
The German prisoners in American
hands were told early to-day of their
country's peace Offering. Instead Of
adding to their gloom, the general eff
feet was to stimulate them to some
liveliness. The good humor Of the
prisoners was lowered somewhat, at
least IN one cage, by the suggestion
that they might be detained until
French villages were restored.
Along the roads in the trenches the
American soldiers were disposed to re-
gard the peace development as a mat
ter Of course-one for satisfaction. but
not for premature rejoicing The fight
ING at the Msrne and on the Soissons,
veloped ir the American soldier a grim
ness that it would be difficult to en-
plain. There were few comments on
the peace situation IS the business of
warfare proceeded.
"Well, if Heinie wants to quit he can
do so. But it's uo to him to do the
cutting" WAS The most general express
sion uSed by the American troops.
Americans Please Allies
While more spectacular progress has
been made on certain other parts Of the
Western front, it is known that the Al
lied commanders are satisfied with the
work Of .he Americans. They have
been placed mere on what many regard
as a most difficult sector.
1t has not been their part to make
great strides forward so much as it has
been to destroy the German divisions
which have been thrown into the battle
line in q manner rejecting the deter
to hold back their enemies at
3 point where the loss Of it would en-
danger more quickly their entire force.
Since the BEGINNING Of the offensive,
September 26, west OF the Meuse the
Germans have used thirteen fresh divis-
ions. in addition to the four in line on
the first day, and east Of the Mouse they
have called up four fresh divisions
in addition to the three in line when
the attack there, October 8, developed.
Thus, it will be seen that the enemy
has been compelled to reinforce his
front between the Argonne and Bezon-
vaux by seventeen fresh divisions of
troops.

TO dictate waiting policy; it explains
why the retreat became so general after
Foch hit on July 1S.
The Germans had to win or surren-
der this year. They elected to gamble
on q bluff and they lost. Fosh has
beaten Ludendorff, but he has not
crushed him. Foch has got him down.
But he has not pressed both shoulders
50 the ground. Whether he succeeds
this year depends on the events of the
next few days, possibly of this week.
Germans Use Lille as Pivot
The Germans, using Lille as pivot

southeast of Douai, falling back before
the British to-day. There the line
parallels the Douai- -Bouchain road
Haie is striking in northeasterly di
rection toward the Valenc;cnues rail
way line, while simultaneous attacks
are being made eastward from lie Ca
teau.
The Germans are fighting hard along
this front, but further south the
French have capturets La Fere, and
lave penetrated the 81. Gobain Forest
- the outskirts Of Laon. The Ger
a'ars had been cvacuating the salient
'or several days. and the French found
cliy slight resistance.
Meanwhile Mangin and Berthelot's
armies have pushed northward. To
she east the French have reached the
general line OF the Aisne, where they
found q considerable enemy force on
the northern bank. The Germans evi-
IDENTIFY intended to make a stand a.
Chateau Porcein and Rethel until their
centre was further withdrawn.
Americans in Heavy Fighting
The pursuit has been so rapid thai
only light French forces are in CON
'act with the enemy along the Aisne.
Ludendorff must make his last fghe
along his present line before falling
back TO Ardennes. which means CLOSING
his southern exit from France and d-
Vlding his armies into two forces.
The Americans are still engaged in
heavy fighting. The Germans are fight
ing desperately on both sides of the
Meuse, showing no signs OF genera!
withdrawal such as they made in Cham
pagne. With two American armies en-
saged, Ludendorff is hard put to it to
dnd the reserves TO meet the on
slaughts. The Americans are not only
winning successes at this vital point,
out are preventing Ludendorff from

asked to relinquish the dictatorship, or
the members of the board will be ap-
pealed to on grounds of patriotism to
remain in service and not cause any Of
the embarrassments that the labor
situation in New York state would be
certain to suffer by reasons of their re-
fusal to serve.
Labor Department officials asserted
that efforts have been made to nomi-
nate Federal directors who were salts
factory to labor and employers. In
several instances. directors have been
removed because Of failure to receive
complete cooperation from both labor
and capital.
State Labor Advisory Boards are Sc
lected with equal membership repre-
senting the workers and the employers,
and for this reason the criticism of the
appointment of Mr.. Bruere, made by
labor and employer representatives on
the board, may result in the request
from the Department Of Labor that he
withdraw from the directorship.

Expects Wilson to
Discuss Peace Note

WASHINGTON, Oct l3.-With little
important legislation planned for the
week, discussion Of the German reply
to President Wilson's note is expected
to overshadow all other matters when
Congress convcnes tomorrow. 1t was
considered probable tonight that the
President early in the week might ex-
press his views on the Ieace proposals
to the country through Congress. The
Senate, it was considered likely to-
night, might give over the entire ses-
sion tomorrow to discussion of the
German reply.
Consideration Of the nine billion dol
lar army emergency appropriation bill
has been virtually completed by the
House Appropriation Committee, and it
is believed the measure can be reported
" Wednesday. Chairman Shirley expects
at least two days will be required for
the House to pass the bill. While the
Senate committee will act without de-
lay on the measure, Majority Leader
Martin said tonight the bill could not
be taken up III the Senate before next
week at the earliest. In the meantime
the Senate probably will continue its
thrce-day recesses.

New Mail Facilities.

On Tuesday of this week large auto
mobile truck carrying Parcels Post mail
came unannounced to the Thurmont
postoffice in charge of two gentlemen
from the Postoffice Department at Wash
ington.
This truck will run every week day be-
Mt. Airy, Md, and Gettysburg, Pa, and
visit every postoffice delivering and COL
lecting parcels post packages. More
than that it opens up to farmers along
the route new facilities to send parcel
packages to the city. Postmaster Ger
nand informs US that any person along
the road having package to send can
stop the truck. The package will be
weighed and stamps sold and the pack
age taken along. No packages will be
delivered except at postoffices.
This service will likely prove of spe-
cial benefit between Thurmont and
Frederick because of the rail facilities
to and from these places.
The truck arrives in Thurmont about
II 90 a. M, and returning from Gettys.
burg arrives here about 800 p. m. Mail
collected for Baltimore, Washington and
other cities is taken to Mt. Airy where
it is distributed to other trucks and sent

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The week of June 10th, will be event
full in the appearance of the soldier-hero,
Sergeant Empey, of "Over the Top
tame, and the popular actress, Rose
Stahl, in a new comedy entitled "Pack
Up Your Troubles, delightfully."- hu-
morous play of camp life, by George G.
Hazelton, author of Mistress Nell. -
The famous stars will have the associ-
alton of splendid company. The play
will prove especially attractive to women
since it shows them how their sons,
brothers and sweethearts are made manly
and healthy under the eye of Uncle Sam
and effectually dspels any notion the
public may have that camp life is detri-
mental to the moral and physical welfare
of the boys in khaki. Sergeant Empey
has the role of youthful Irish-Ameican
recruit, eager to serve the U. S. Miss
Stahl appears as his youthful andintense-
ly patriotic mother, each afforded ample
opportunity to display the senses of hu-
NOR which have done so much to make
them famous.
