BURGL AIRS VISIT THREE EAST SIDE
 HOMES IN NIGHT

Burglars entered the homes of An tonio Sineztha, 1s4 Fourth street, M. Mandz, 175 Sixth street and James symonds, 165 Fifth street, around 8 o'clock this morning stealing booty amounting to nearly $1,O00.
 In all cases the thieves gained en- trance to the houses through open windows and in places where the windows were screened they either cut the screens or lifted out the sash completely.
 In the Sineztha home the cracks men got SAP in money and nearly $200 in jewelry. They confined them selves to one or two rooms appar- ently afraid to ransack the house any further in case of awakening the in- mates.
 A considerable haul was made in the home of M. Mandz, who reports a loss of $35 and several Liberty Bonds although he is sure the loss will be greater as soon as an inven- tory has been made to check up his estimate.
 James Symonds who is special officer, lost many valuable articles from his home, including some money and valuable jewelry.

 ed on the bond by Sachs, damages claimed to the amount of $1o,0Oo, and four pieces of property belonging to Mrs. Silverman and valued at $12,- 900 were attached.
 A motion to dissolve this attach ment was heard before Judge Malt bic and he ordered the attachment dissolved on the property of Mrs. Silverman but held that that on the property of Mrs. Nussenbaum was not excessive. Sachs appealed to the Supreme Court from the decision stating that Judge Maltbie erred. In the decision handed down today from the Supreme Court the opinion is by Chief Justice Prentice and he states that there is error in so much of the order as dissolves the attachment made on the property of the appIi- cant Silverman and the same is set aside. In accordance with this de- cision the attachment made by Sachs still stands pending his suit against Mrs. Nussenbaum.

reached the western barfK of the Crise river but there have been no reports of further advance in this vital re- zion. Should the Allies succeed in crossing the Crise in force and in gaining the plateaux to the eastward of that stream German occupation of Soissons probably would be short lived. Such an advance also would make the line of the Vesle of slight advantage to the Germans and prob ably would compel their eventual re- tirement to the Aisne river. For this reason the Allied efforts to forge eastward of Buzancy may be expected to be redoubled and the German re- sistance at this point probably will
 be of the sternest character

 In spite of the desperate efforts of the Germans to bring up reserves and stabilize the lines on each side of the salient from Soissons to Rheims the Allies appear to be pressing forward in vital sectors on the front south of Soissons and near Rheims.
 Following it's policy of conserva- tism, the French war office reports nothing but heavy artillery fire around the salient and the repulse of 8 German counter attack in the re- zion of Vrigny, five miles southwest of Rheims. Nothing is said as to progress against the increased Ger man resistance north of the Marne, nor is there mention of the situation north of Montdidior, where on Tues day morning the French took posi- tions dominating long reaches of the Avre river.
 From unofficial sources 1t is report ed that the rainy weather of the last few days had slowed down the fight ing between Soissons and Rheims, and probably also had retarded the Ger man retirement from the bag in which the crown princes forces were caught in by Gen. Mangin's thrust against the western side of the sa- lient. Allied airmen report conditions back of the German lines as indica- tive of German retreat as far north as the Vesle river. The line of the Ourcq has been virtually rendered untenable by the Allies advance to the neighborhood of Oulchy le Cha teau and Oulchy le Vile, north of the stream.
