tion of the German manoeuvers in the field. They can ascribe these opera tions to very definite and well de-
 veloped plans of the German general staff It was said tonight that the enemy probably has begun the sec ond phase of the withdrawal he has been compelled to undertake as a re- suit of unwavering pressure by Mar shal T'och all along the battle line. Lacking the reserves With which to make a stand on an extended front, it is to be assumed that lie is falling back 10 a much shortened line where he can show greater resisting power.
 The reports showing that the French were making progress in clearing up the Oise-Serre pocket, southeast of Laon, attracted particular attention here. This narrow point of high ground between the two rivers, guard ed by wide marshy water lines on beth fronts, has appeared to be the tastion on which the enemy resistance in the center rested.
 The collapse of this position pre- sumably means rapid strengthening of the whole center Of the front. At
 the wings of this vital part Of the line American troops northwest of Yer. dun and Anglo-American forces at Le Cateau are hammeriGg their way ahead toward the main cOmmunica-
 tion lines that support the whole en- emv framework This probably ac- counts for the stubborn resistance on

 CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES

 Paris has lived historic days since the beginning of the war, but never since those dark days of August, 1914, has Paris lived such day as this. Clemenceau looked the tiger of old when he ascended the tribune, the light of victory shining on his whole countenance
 Long before the hour set for the opening of the chamber huge crowds, overflowing across the Seinento the Place de la Concorde, had gathered. Every seat in the chamber was occu- pied, except those where the French flag entwined with the crimson plush of a vacant chair showed that the former occupant had died-that he had, served his country, not alone in the chamber of deputies. but on the field of battle.
 After Paul Deschanel, president Of the chamber, told of the liberation of Lille, Douai, Ostend and BrugeS, and while the deputies and audience were cheering frantfcally, Clemenceau arose from the government bench and made his way to the tribune with the dust of Lille still clinging to his garments.
 Can I add anything to the patriotic words of the president of the cham ber,", said the premier, except that I have just received a telegram (and he waved a blue leaf1et toward the. deputies) stating that RoubaiX and Turcoing have just been liberated"
 There was not one discordant voice in the whole chamber, but two con- spicuous socialist members remained seated while the other deputies ap- piauded There should be hut one voice here" said President Des chanel, glaring at the socialists who sheepish- ly arose and the incident was closed

NAVAL CONVOYS FOR
COASTW|SE SHIPS
STEADILY EXPANDING PROGRAM
OF DEFENSE BEING PUT IN
OPERATION AGAINST RAIDS.
System Will Be Continued Until the
End of the War, or at Least Until
All Danger of Submarine
Attacks Has Passed.

Washington. conveys for
coastwise shipping are being estab-
lished by the navy department, it was
learned Saturday night.
Indications were given at the depart
ment that the convoy system for coast
wise vessels will be continued until
the end of the war. or at least until
all danger of further submarine raids
on this side of the Atlantic is re-
moved.
Taken in conjunction with uncon-
firmed reports from neutral countries
that the German high seas fleet is pre-
pairing for Il major stroke against allied
commerce generally, the information
gives an indication of the steadily eX-
banding program of defense being put
into operation against further raids.
The vigilance of the navy depart-
menl," declared Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, twill be maintained so long
as there is Il submarine unaccOunted
for"
Asked if he would bring back any
naval units from European waters.
Secretary Daniels said:
THE war is across the water. That's
where our war vessels must be. The
presence of submarine off this coast
IS harassing and annoying. But it is
not the war;
Mr.. Daniels added that e.ery ship
that went overseas is and will be AIDE
quately protected. 1t is known that
all important vessels are carried I'M
der convoy. The secretary said the
supply of anti-submarine guns is be-
ing satisfactorily augmented and that
"A gun and a trained gun crew is avail
able for every transatlantic ship.
The arming of coastwise shipping
also is being considered. AS soon as
need of the transatlantic vessels for
guns has been entirely met. supplies
will be available for coast ships which
it is deemed wise to arm.
