In this region the determined re- sistance of the Germans seems to have slowed down the British if it has not checked the momentum of the blow. The same may be said to be the situa- tion on the hills north of Soissons. Little progress has been reported in this sector during the last few days.
 There have been no reports of fight ing from Lassigny north to the Somme.
 Paris, Aug. 22---The occupation of Lassigny by the army of Gen. Hum pert, newspaper commentators be- lieve, will facilitate the capture of Noyon, toward which the armies of Gems. Mangin and Humbert are press ing steadily. Lassigny was one of the pivots of the German defense system between the Disc and the Somne.
 Gen. Mangin on Wednesday contin- ued to move toward the Disc. If the German front there has not been pierced, as the Germans claim the French are trying to do, it has been back a considerable distance, and it is believed may have to withdraw to the Ailette.
 Observers here see a new danger for the enemy in the British attack north of the Ancre in the direction of Bapaume. The British already are on the battle ground of 1916.

 OF CONGRESS
Decides Judge Edlin At Middletown Today-Over-
 rules Demurrer.

Middletown, Aug. 22-Legal time in Connecticut conforms to the act of Congress under a status of 1884, in the opinion of Judge James R. Edlin of the city court, who overruled to- day a demurrer in a case before him.
 On Sunday, June 30, at 1915 a. m., state policemen arrested Philip J. Stueck, his manager, and A Mid dletown men at a tavern on the charge of being in a licensed place at an unlawful hour. Twenty men for feited their bonds while Stueck and his manager were fined.
 The cases of the four others were called on Aug. 12. Gustaf B. Carl son, their counsel, contended that the raid was really at 11:15 p. m. of the day preceding. In a demurrer MT. Carlson held that as the state had not formally adopted the daylight saving plan the legal time in the state had not been changed. Judge Edlin de- cided that the act of Congress ac- complished the purpose of not merely causing clocks to be set ahead, but actually and legally advanced stand ard time for one hour.
