FURTHER ADVANCE
 MADE BY ALLIES
British Deliver Harde e S t Blow by Pushing Line For
 ward Thousand Yards.
 French Improve Positions
(By The Associated Press)

The allied armies have obtained fur ther successes over the Germans Tn fighting in the Soissons- -Reims sector and to the north in the Montdidier re- zion and still further north in Elan ders between the Lave and Clarence rivers.
 East of the town of Braisne on the Vesle river, midway between Soissons and Reims, American and French troops, after the stiffest kind of fight ing have crossed the river and held all the positions. The French north of Reims have penetrated more than 400 yards in the railroad triangle begin ming at Reims and running northeast ward toward Rethel and northwest ward to Laon.
 All Positions Taken Are Held
 All positions previously gained in the entire Reims- Soissons salient have been held, notwithstanding counter at tacks. Near where the Vesle enters the Aisne east of Soissons, the French have overcome the resistance of the enemy and taken the village of Ciery- Salsogne.
 In the Montdidier sector the French south and southwest of the town have advanced their line on this important sector, which represents the junction point of the armies of the German Rupprecht of Bavaria.
 | Maneuvre Removes Menace It remained for the British to deliver the hardest blow against the Germans Wednesday. Following up a previous advance in the Lys sector northwest of La Bassee, they pushed their line over a front of nearly five miles to z depth of a thousand yards between the Lave and Clarence rivers. The detail! of this advance are not yet in hand but the maneuver doubtless will go { far ways toward lessening the point O the nasty salient that has stood as { menace for months to the British lint north and south of it.
 Of Great Strategic Value
 Next in importance is the furthe gaining of footings by the French ant Americans across the Vesle where tn, pressure against the Germans toward the Aisne can be resumed when tn, troops ford the stream, but the gain O ground by the French in the railwa, triangle north of Reims also must b. looked upon as a move of great strat egic value.
 French Dominate Railway
 From their positions, the F'rencl now are able to dominate with thei guns the railway line over which tn Germans have been bringing store from the northeast through the tow of Rethel and that line running north westward across the Aisne towar , Laon. which undoubtedly has bee used since the retreat began for the re moval of troops, guns and supplies ou , of the threatened zone.
 Submarine Menace Fails ! David Lloyd George. the Britis : prime minister, addressing the hous of commons, spoke enthusiastically of tn l status of the war from the allie } standpoint. He characterized the pres 7 ent offensive on the Aisne- Marne fror l as the most brilliant in the annals ( 7 the war and praised the part taken 1t by the American troops. More tha r 150 submarines had been destroye since the war began. and the subma rine menace had failed, he added.

ENEMY SPIES HERE
GOT NEWS IN LISTS
THAT Is WHY WAR DEPARTMENT
ONITS ADDRESSES, GENERAL
MARCH SAYS.

The war departments reasons for
Withholding addresses of soldiers or
casualty lists are based chiefly on the
fear that German agents in this cOun
try would get from such lists infOr-
maton on Americas preparations for
war.
In letter to Representative Medill
Mccormick, General March, acting
chief of staff, wrote:
THE policy of the department is
founded upon the following:
Il. To put into the hands of the
nearest relative or the friend given
by the soldier in his emergency ad-
dress. prompt and accurate infOrma-
ton concerning the casualty before
anything is given to the press.
"2. To prevent any information
appearing in the papers which will be
of any possible assistance to the Ger
man cause.
1.-The old system, which gave the
date of the casualty, enabled the Ger
mans to get exactly what effect was
produced upon our troops in a raid
on that date, and you will be inter-
ested to know that the publication of
the emergency addresses brought
down upon the relatives swarm of
claim agents who guaranteed that
they would get from the government
the war risk insurance which is guar
anteed by law to the proper inheritor.
"In spite of the fact that the de-.
partment has in each case advised the
nearest relatives that their claims
will be adjusted by the government
and that they will be furnished the
money that is due them without the
interposition of claim agents, num-
bers of poor people have yielded to
the opportunities Of these agents and
are thereby deprived of portion of
what is justly their due.
1.-THE raids which are being con-
Quoted along our front, as you know,
Of course, are for the purpose of cap
turing one soldier. II possible, with
the object Of obtaining from him in
formation about the organisation
which is opposed to the German lines
at that point. With the publication
Of the address Of the nearest relative
the German agent in the United
States approaches the relatives and
obtains from them the information
which Germany Is attempting to OBJ
tain from our front by attacks ON our.
forces.
1T may be Of interest to you to
know that the department is in re-
ceipt Of letters from men Of high
standing in the country who have
sons abroad protesting. vigorously
against any change in the new sys-
tenn and demanding that no informa-
tion shall be given to the press which
could in any possible way be Of as
sistance to the Germans confronting
their sons In France.
1T has developed also. according
to an oficial communication from the
Red Cross. that the relatives of men
who are killed in France are made
the victims Of the most absurd prop
ositions to exhibit themselves for

riety seekers"
