HUNS UNABLE TO
 CHECK BIG DRIVE
AMERICAN AND FRENCH TROOPS CONTINUE TO MAKE GAINS
 ON 25 MILE FRONT.

With the American Army in France. Although the Germans have thrown large endorsements into the new battle line between Soissons and the region of Chateau Thierry, they mo- where thus far have been able t6 stem the tide of the onslaughts the American and French troops are mak- ing against them.
 Their gains were carried to their depth in the center of the 25 mile line and on the southern flank northwest of Chateau Thierry where the Ameri- cans are holding forth.
 The fighting was particularly vio- 'ent throughout the day around Sois- sons and in the region of Chaudun. where the Germans sent in large forces of reserves in an endeayor 10 push back the allied troops. Here the American artillery did notable work. killing or wounding many of the enemy and aiding greatly in staving off the Germans.
 On the sector where the Americans are fighting, northwest of Chateau Thierry, the German line was driven in upon the plateau northwest Of Bonnes and to the height to the nSrth of Courchamps, the former position representing gain of three and a half miles from the point of original departure at Torcy While it is noi possible as yet geographically to limit with exactitude the gains made in the two days fighting along the front by the French and Americans, it Is Known that at it's deepest point the penetration has reached approximate ly seven miles and that over the en. tire 25 miles it ranges down to about two miles.
 In addition to the infliction of eS- tremely heavy casualties on the ene- my, the French and American forces up to the present have taken more than 1000 prisoners, including two coloneis with their chiefs of staff. and more than 360 cannon.
 The offensive on the entire western front in France seems now definitely to have shifted from the hands Of
  allies. East and west of Rheims, where the Germans last Monday started battle along a 65-mile front, from Chateau Thierry to eastern Champagne, the enemy is now on the defensive on most of the sectors where there is any fighting.
 In the region southwest of Ypres the British have carried out another successful incursion into the German lines, capturing the village of Meta ren. point of strategic value for ob- servation purposes, while further south Australian troops galned ground. The two maneuvers cost the Germans nearly 400 men made pris, oner and the loss of several machine guns.

what sort of trap you had arranged

"Woman, don't talk to me. I never

Not word. This comes of my taking

work will front toward the street. Your

a shade tree when a patrolman stopped
before him and said:
"Come, old man, be moving along.

and beg her pardon, anu tell her you'll
