NTER.OFFENSIVE OPENS WITH BIC SUCCESS FOR ATTACKING, ARMIES-DRIVE IN
 SIX MILES
MANY PRISONERS TAKEN
Americans Take More Than 4,000 Men and 30 Guns-COntinue
 Big Push.

Paris, July 18-From the region west of Soissons to the northwest of Chateau Thierry, American and French armies have begun strong offensive against the Germans, which possibly may have marked in luenca on the future of tle world war In it's first stage the movement has been attended with great success.
 All along the 25 miles tho French and American troops have dashejg in brilliant fashion across positions held by the Germans, killing, wounding or capturing thousands of the enemy and taking towns, villages and large quantities of guns and war supplies.
 Nowhere, according to last ac- counts from the front, has the enemy been able to stay the progress of the allies, although counter-attacks were resorted to on some important sectors after the first stages or surprise caused by the unexpected attack had passed away.
 Booty Taken Is Large.
 To the Americans alone in the re- zion west of Soissons came 1000 pris- oners, 20 guns and much war material Additional large numbers of captives

MAY HAVE UNION
 STATION AT ASHDOWN
Proposed Unionizing Stations a War Measure to EcOnsmize and Save Man
 Power.

Officials of the Frisco and Kansas day looking over the local situation and conferring with themselves and with local business men in regard to the establishing of a union station at Ashdown in the near future. The eX pression of attitude of the local people toward the project was desired. It is not known that a decision has been reached definitely as yet It is under stood in case the union station is de- cided upon that all the roads will use the k. c. s. Station, which is already used by the M., D. & c. The Frisco would run their trains into this station and all business would be transacted there, the Frisco depot being closed. The superintendents are merely look ing the situation over, and nave only the power to recommend What their recommendations will be is largely surmise. It has been suggested that in case this change is made there will have to be constructed some extra freight room and possibly extra track age.
 Under this plan at least one or a greater part of one o: the station staff5 would be available for some other sta tion and it is figured that it would be gre2t convenience to the shippers as we'll as the, travelling public. It is government move to conserve man. power and reduce the cost of Oper- atting expenses. It will not be known here what is to be done until the re- ports have been filed and action taken by those higher in authority. The same line is being followed at Hope and in other towns all over the country hay | ing more than one station.

and further great stores of guns, am- munitions and other war necessities were taken by the French their guns were taken by the French. Before all the positions of the Americans and the French their guns and ma chine guns cut to pieces fleeing hordes of the enemy or bands which endeayored to stop the rush.
 The blow, probably planned long ago, is aimed at territory vital to the Germans-territory the capture of which not alone would mean the forced retirement of the Germans from the entire salient extending soutlaeastward across the occupied re- zion from Soissons to Rheims with Chateau Tnierry it's southern apex, but possibly would result in the cap- ture of thousands of Germans oper- ating there, many of them compris> ing the best so.ziers of the.

Paris, July 17.-Lieut. Quentin Roosevelt, youngest son of the former president, has been killed in an air fight, the semiotTcial Havas News Agency announces. His machine fell into the enemy lines.
 Lieutenant Roosevelt, the dispatch says, WAS returning from a patrol fight when he was attacked by Ger man squadron.
 It was seen that Roosevelt suddenly lost control of his machine, having probably received a mortal wound.
 Cousin Sees Him Fail.
 Philip Roosevelt, Quentin's cousin, witnessed the air battle in the vicinity of Chateau Thierry, in which Quentin was engaged, and saw the machine fall. but did not know until later that the airplane was that or his cousin, Le Journal says today.
 Lieutenant Roosevelt was last seen in combat Sunday morning with two enemy airplanes, about 10 miles inside the German lines, in the Cha teau Thierry sector. He started out with a patrol of 13 American ma- chimes. They encountered seven Ger mans and were chasing them back when two of them turned on Lieuten- ant Roosevelt.
 Reports of the fight say that the Germans appeared to be shooting at the lieutenant from the rear, the three machines being close together. Then one of the machines was seen falling the clouds and a patrol which went in search of Lieutenant Roose- welt returned without trace of him. He to be fighting up to the last 
 One account says that his machine caught fire before it began to fall,
 Quentin Roosevelt, in April, 1917, joined the Canadian aviation corps to train for service with the American army. He was commissioned last fall and in the present spring began active service with the American air forces on the French front. On July 3 he took part in an aerial battle between American and German machines in the Marne region and few days later, on July 10. it was announced that he had brought down his first German airplane in . fight north of Chateau Thierry.

FIGHT IN OPEN WIIi1
 CAVALRY TAKING PART
Germans Driven From Trenches aRd Pursued by Mounted Troops Americans Carry Everything
 Before Them.

With the American Army in France, July 18.-The American troops had carried all before them by late in the afternoon and had proceeded so fast that cavalry was thrown into action All the American .headquarter staffs tonight were we'll inside the territory which the Germans held this morning.
 The American troops up to noon just south of Soissons had captured $500 prisoners. Fifty cannon had been counted and thousands of ma chine guns.
 Rich Prizes Taken.
 Northwest of Chateau Thierry the Americans captured large numbers of prisoners and an equally important |quantity of munitions and stores.
 The allies have reached, roughly, the line of Belleau, Courchamps, Chouy, Villers-Helon, Chaudon and the heights dominating Soissons.
 French cavalry has crossed beyond the Soissons-Chateau Thierry rccd to openings made by the FrancoAmeri- can forces.
 The greatest progress made up to latest reports was about 10 kilo- meters, or a little over six miles. l After passing the third objectives .set for the operstions of the morning the Americans in cooperation with the French south of Soissons launched j a second powerful attack at noon Americans Have the Punch. Slowing the effect of splendid trsining, the American troops went i forward swiftly and fought with fury, Nothing seemed to stop them. espe- cially in the region of Solssons and to the south of that city. Light and he&yy pieces were moved up as the troops advanced and soon after each .barrage ended, shells from the Ameri- ican guns were deluging the enemy S rear areas, playing havoc with both tho forces in retreat and reserves en- deayoring to come up.
 It was open warfare with all the attending excitement, and through the gaps made by heavy--guns and in- fantry the French cavalry dashed beating down those in their path. Ter rife losses were inflicted on the en- emy at all points. The tanks did al that was expected of them. The great lumbering engines rolled along in front of the infantry, driving the Germans before them with streams Of bullets and clearing away many ob- structions that lad escaped the ar tillery.
 The enemy early began to bring up strong endorsements. Fresh troops have appeared at various points and heavy counter-attack probably will have to be withstood.
 The Americans passed beyond near ly all their objectives, including the Paris-Soissons road. The town of Soissons is now well within the range of the American guns.
 Menace German Flank
 As the whole German left flank is menaced, the enemy must draw in his troops from the Marne front or risk their being caught where the are. This means that the finishing blow possibly has been administered to his dying offensive.

The siX-mile penetration of the Ger mans to Festigny, noted in the forego- iIG dispatches, does not mean a, Ger man advance of that distance south of the Marne, as Festigny ;s only about two and three-quarter miles south of the river at it's nearest point. The penetration is calculated from the nearest point of departure at the be- ginning of the offensive. There ap- pears to have been penetration of ap- proximatelyI six miles north of the MerEe, and this has been pointed to as probably more nenacing to the sit uaticn as regards Rheims than the German advance south of the r.ver.
 The French already have begun to reac. strongly in the region below the river, but the German pressure north of tLc stream, where the safety of the Rheims salier.. ic involved, seems on the basis of the latest official advices not to have been as fully met

ALLIED POSITION IS VERY SATISFACTORY,
 IS VIEW IN LONDON
French Losses Are Said to Have Been Very Small, While German Cas- ualties Are Estimated
 at 100000

London, July 1.-The position for the allies at the present stage of the German offensive in France is said to be distinctly satisfactory, in advices received today. The French losses are stated to have been very small. They have lost no guns, the report declares. Casualties sustained by the German troops in the offensive up to the pres ent are estimated to number 100000, according to news received in London today from the battle front in France. Forces of the German crown prince advanced another three miles down the Marne valley yesterday. This makes a total penetration of the French line of
 about six miles iat Festigny, the most southern point reached by the invad- CTS.
 French counter-attacks have brought the German bridges over the River Marne under the fire of the French ar | tillery of medium calibre Huns Deepest Penetration. The end of the second day of the German, offensive, in view Of all CIT
 cumstanees, found the situation dis
 tinctly good for the allies, according
 to opinion here. The extreme depth Of

 ceed six miles at any point which cum-
 pares poorly with the intention to move forward 20 kiiometers 03.5
 miles) on the first day, as revealed in
 captured German orders. Compared
 with the results attained in the offen- sive in March and May the present gain is Insignificant
 | The view here is that the allies position thus far has been endangered
 at no point, and that the future may
 be awaited with considerable cona--
 dence.
 The tendency was to discard the 1 suggestion that the enemy's present serious was possibly a prelude to
 more serious assault elsewhere or a {. feint for the purpose of drawing off the allied reserves from other areas. The view is widely taken that what
 the world is watching is Germany's
 main offensive, which, according to statements of prisoners, had been dub ! bed beforehand the Friedenstrum or
 peace attack, it's object being to force
 German peace upon the allies. l Five Attacks Repulsed. i- i General von Einem's army, which
 was engaged on the German left wing in the Champagne, yesterday deliver , ed five attacks between Suippe and 1 Masiges. All the attacks were repulsed with heavy losses.
 Raids carried out last night by the British in the Amiens area east of Vil- -Bretonneux and in the neighbor- hood of Hulluch, on the front of the
 north, resulted in the taking of pris- | oners, the war office announced to- day.
 In the Somme and Ancre sectors to
 the northeast of Amiens and in the Ar
 ras region north of the Scarpe, the enemy artillery was active last night
 Similar activity was displayed by the
 German guns in Flanders in the dis
 trict northeast of Bethune and to the
 north of Ea,. ieul
