over "A front of thirty miles from
the region of Arras to Peronne, Field
Marshal Haigs forces have literally
smashed the German front.
The southern portion nf tlG famous
Drocourt- -Queant switch line which
had been heralded as the impregnabie
bulwark of the German defense in the
north, has given way under the vio-
lence of the British onslaught over its
entire front from the Scarpe river to

will require that the Germans relin-

and realign their front from Flanders
to Rheims in order to avert disaster
Enemy's Situation Pcrilous.
Already ther Dads to Douai, Cambrai
and St Quentin are thoroughly in
vested by the British and Fren n ;rm-
les, while north of scissors the French
and Americans are in positions of
vantage from which they carry out
turning movements which will out
flank Laon and the Chemin des Danes
and Alsne lines. The situation of the
enemy viewed from the war maps,
is the most perl!ous he has yet been
in.
Added to the troubles of the Cor
man high command is the situation
that is fast developing in Flanders, in
the region around Ypres. where tho
Germans daily are being forced out
of their positions by the British and
American troops. All over this sec
tor steady progress is being made
eastward in the blotting out of the
salient that has long existed there.
The Americans, who took Voormezeele
Sunday, now arc well into the region
east OF the town, having overcome the
strong resistance of the Germans wh.
endeaVored to bar their way. \ few
more strides by Haig's men in this
region and Armenticres will be within
striking distance. After Armentieres

Hard Fighting at Peronnc.
Hard fighting has been in progress
between the British and Germans
around Peronne, where the Austral
ians successfully withstood violent at
tacks and have taken several thous-
and prisoners. Between Peronne and
Bapaume the Germans also have i'm
posed strong opposition to the British
hut the St Pierre Eaast wood. Ie

from the Vesle river positions he
holds and reconstituting his entire
front to Rheims.

American soldiers and the feeling OF
security that the immense mass of
strangers, with money, gives to the
French people.
Paris With American Money.
We all know about the astonish-
ment of the French over the money
that the American soldiers and jackies
have to spend Such volumes of cash
pouring out of the pockets of men in
uniform is unknown to Europe, out
side of the aristocratic military
cliques that exist in Petrograd and
Vienna.
1t is impossible for France under
the influence of this money, to be as
sad and depressed as she has BEEN
because the circulation of coin in
great quantities and the presence of
thousands of buoyant people bringing
new life to her, is too assuring not to
be enlivening.
Therefore, everything in the world
of Paris has taken on a new turn, and
the letters say that it is almost as diff
ficult to get seat at a cafe or the
alter, unless one orders it in advance,
as it is in New York today.
1t is not only the soldiers and sail
ors who crowd the city. but, as one
writer puts it: How in the world all
these civilians get transportation on
the limited number of ships that are
coming over, is a constant puzzle to
the Parisians." Red Cross workers,
\ M. T. A. people. nurses, wives Oh
military men. members of the Medi-
cal Reserve Corps, all create the tre-
mendous throng as they come and go
thru the Paris streets, cheerfully
spending the money they have
brought with them, knowing that it is
not extravaganza, but hefpfulness.
Paris, as the most emotional city in
the world, responds quickly to this
kind of sunshine. She shows it in the
crowded cafes and in the smart dress
ing of the French women, and, there
fore, when a fashion reporter over
there writes that black velvet is the
costume of the hour for the street, the
reporter over here takes notice and
knows that things in Paris are not as
they have been since August 1914. and
that more importance than ever can
be attached to what the French wear.
The Skirts of Egypt.
AS the government has requested
the French dressmakers not to use
over three and a half meters of wool
in the construction of costumes, they
have gone the government lone bet
ter in trying to use even less than
this or avoid it entirely.
The gowns of velvet are trimmed
with silk braid and white satin, and
the bodices or tunics are of Georgette
