community spirit which is certain tc
be appreciated by the people general
" as the war work continues. The
posters gotten out to announce the
meetings at various points bear line
Come Out and Get Acquainted With

much discussion among war workers
who say that the campaigns conduct
ed in this county to date have proVid
ed the opportunity to get acquainted
with their neighbors and invariably
the impression has been favorable
one. The community work planned BY
the County Council OF Defense is be

campaign.

London. - Hard fighting is pro-
ceeding in all sections of the line
from scissors to Rheims. according
to dispatches reaching London. but
always with the allies on the offen-
sive and the Germans fighting despe-
rately to save what they can before
the onrush.
The French captured As more guns
including six OF large caliber, in the
fighting along tho Marine. where tho
Germans were compelled to retreat
very hastily. leaving behind large
quantities Of material Of all kinds.
Although the Germans are fighting
bitterly along the bottom of the ss-
licnt, there are indications that they
realize that retreat is inevitable,
for they are burning villages several
miles behind their lines, and there is
great congestion Of troops around
the top of the salient, which may In
dictate preparations for new line.
With the district south of the Marine
cleared OF Germans, the allies are
constructing bridges and getting large
bodies OF troops and supplies across
for pursuit. The Germans undoubt-
edly will continue to fight stubborrIy
to hold the salient. but IL things con-
tinue to go well with the allies in
their attack. the enemy is likely to
be forced back to the line Of the Riv-
er Vesle which offers good defenses
and has good communications.
One of the German high command
actively engaged in endeavoring to
find some way of holding up the
American forces at the bottom OF tho
pocket, is Major General Hell. form
erly Field Marshal Won MacKenzen'a

The Americans captured several doc

ture.
Many compliments have been
showered on the Americans by Brit
ish liason officers and reports reach
ing London from their two sectors
praise their fighting ability, discipline
and adaptability. One staff officers
reported:
1.-The Americans have already earn
ed great reputation for the thoro-
ughness with which they clean up the
territory they move across. They
are just as good as the Australians
in this open offensive warfare. and
that - very high compliment"
The French report the capture OF
900 more prisoners in the last "a
hours. The British also have taken
several hundred. and the Americans
considerable number
