from Ham to Tergnier, Amigny-Rouy and Barisis.
 The text of the communication reads:
 During the course of the day the advance of our troops reached a depth of from seven to eight kilometers on the Somme front. The enemy, whose resistance had greatly increased, was not able to oppose our passage of the St. Quentin canal. which our troops crossed at Pont-Du-Tugny and St. Si- mon after a violent engagement. Both these places are in our possession.
 "TO the north and south We hold the general line from the western out skirts of Vaux, Fluquieres, Happen court, east of Pont-De-Tugny and St. Simon, AYesne, western outskirts of Jussy. the railway from Ham to Terg- nier, Amigny Rouy and Barisis. The enemy left everywhere in our hands very important supplies.
 "On the Ailette front and between Ailette and the Aisne there Is little change. We have advanced north of Vauxallon and occupied Celle-Sur- Aisne. We repulsed two violent count CT attacks south of Moulin Laffaux.
 On the whole of this part of the front, as well as north of the Vesle Ever, the enemy reacted violently with his artillery"

BRITISH DECORATE FIVE
 TANKS FOR GALLANTRl

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Sept. ', (By the Associated Press. .)-Five Americans have beeI decorated with British honors for con spicuous gallantry n~action on the British front.
 It. Glenn D. Ransom won his mili tary cross at Merckham as a medica officer attached to a British battalion and worked continually in the evacua tion of the men of his own and othe. battalions and also wounded Germans
 Not a case passed through whicl Lieutenant Ransom himself did no. dress although the shelling was heavy He worked continuously in the opeI to expedite the evacuation. His skill and courage now is a by-word in his battalion and the example he set fo. all, says the citation, was magnificent Under his supervision the battle fielC was quickly cleared of it's wounded although there were many stretche. cases.
 Corporal Johnston on the night ol August 12 was in the line opposite Boyelles in charge of post. The en emy put down a heavy barrage anC wounded him. When the barrage was lifted the enemy tried to raid thC post
 Although several wounded, the cor poral immediately organized a counter attack which he led up to the trenche; of the enemy and caused many Ger man casualties. It was entirely due to his coolness and gallantry that the attempt of the enemy to obtain tho identification of British forces com pletely failed.
 Private Collier gained his medal il the same action. The enemy was bombing his way down a trench to ward Golfers post in which casualties had much reduced it's strength. H, displayed a fine example in the coun ter attack which he instantly organ ized and was largely responsible fo. the election of the enemy.
 Private Hall displayed great gallan try and devotion to duty near Hebu terne on July 2S when a member O. patrol who encountered a German post that was strongly held and Yhicl directed a heavy fire at the patrol Hall dashed in and Killed three Ger mans with his bayOnet and by hi. prompt and courageous action mater ially assisted the patrol in extricatinl itself from a dangerous position.

LONDON, Sept Field Marshal Haig's troops have forced the Ger mans to retire a. considerable distance along a front of about seventeen miles extending from Havricourt wood to Beauvois, according to the war office announcement tonight. They have also taken a strategic point around which there has been much fighting on the west bank of the canal Du Nord, on the way to Cambrai.
 The statement follows:
 "On the whole front south of Havrincourt the German retreat con tinues under close and constant pres sure of our pressure. We have reach ed the line of Beauvois, Boisel and Havrincourt wood.
 "In frequent encounters with the German rear guards oT advanced de- tachments are taking prisoners and inflicting numerous casualties on the enemy.
 North of HaYrincourt our troops have captured a strong point known as the Spoil heap on the west bank of the canal Du Nord, opposite Herm- ies, taking a number of prisoners and machine guns.
 ''The stocks of coal and road mater ial which has fallen into our hands, to- gether with large quantities of other war materials, prove that it was the enemy's intention to remain in occu- patton of the Somme battle field dur ing the winter months, and also the hurried nature of the retreat that has been upon him"

CContlnued from Page one1

(Continued from Page One) ,eans has not changed. From one place the Americans brought in fifty six prisoners, members of one Of the guard divisions. Among them were TWO officers, one of whom is It. Gas Dard Alversleben, whose father is re- luted to be one of the emperOr's ad- visOrs. It was this lieutenant who commanded the detachment that re- gently compelled a small American Orce to evacudte Fismette It was the organization to which that force be- onged that captured him. The cap .ure of the wood near the canal was accomplished after intensive artii- cry preparation and in the face of a imOthering fire. The Americans crept dose in during the darkness and 'ushed the woods about o'clock From the woods enough machine gun nests were left to give a sharp greet ng. but the real line of bursts was from beyond the canal But this was net with a strong American counter fire
 The raising of a smoke screen north )f the Aisne early in the day gave rise o the presumption the Germans were already moving back. This was dis oelled by later developments. al hough it would not surprise anyone if they withdrew shortly. Some re gard it as possible the Germans in .end to make a stand along the Aisne 1t least until the onward movement 1f the French and British north Of Soissons is more definitely estab- ished.
 Northeast of Rheims, there is an evident dislike on the part of the Ger mans for retirement and in the brok- 9n country there remain strong forces which are moving only very slowly to- wards the rears. If the Germans wish, they can maintain the present positions for many days yet, for every lay it appears probable that the price they must pay will be increased.
 From one prisoner comes an ex- planation of why lieutenants lately nave been found commanding com panies. He said orders had been is- sued that because of scarcity of of ficers companies in the future should pc commanded by lieutenants, bat alions by captains and regiments by majors.

HONOR SYSTEM SUPPLANTS ALL
 SUGAR CARDS
User Must State on Honor to Dealer that His Request Will Not Exceed Limit of Two Pounds Per Person
cRv Review Leased wirel

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Sept. 7.-Coin- cident with the abolition of the card system for rationing flour and bread the rationing of sugar by card can no longer be used in Arizona, it was au- thoritatively announced at food ad- ministration headquarters here today. The card system must be done away with in its entirety.
 The limit of two pounds of sugar per person per month is still in effect but instead of the card system all dealers are asked to adopt what is known as the honor certificate plan, in which the purchaser is required to state on his honor that the two-pound allowance will not be exceeded.
 Under the new system the responsi- bility is placed squarely upon the shoulders of the dealer and he is to take what steps are necessary to guard against repeating and other subterfuge. To this end he should re- fuse to sell sugar to new patrons un- less he is satisfied that they are bona fide new residents or his community and have not already bought all the sugar they are entitled to from some other dealer.
 Unless he takes this stand, the deal CT will find himself long before the end of the month without sufficient sugar to supply his regular patrons. The food administration issues certifi- cates to the dealers, manufacturing establishments and eating places, but here the distribution ceases, and it is up to the merchant to secure the eau itable distribution of sugar to his pa irons through the honor certificate plan.
 Another important change in the sugar regulations is that it is no long CT necessary to confine sales of sugar to two pounds at time. The custom CT is now allowed to purchase weeks supply at a time, this practice being aimed to lessen the burden of the merchant in keeping check on sales.
 The honor certificates, with which all merchants are asked to supply themselves are of the following form:
 City .......... Date. e... purchase of. pounds of sugar :s
 Upon my honor I certify that this made upon the express understanding
