DRIVE LAUNCHED
ALONG 65-MILE FRONT
[Continued from First Page.l
Hun Artillery Active

Last night a terrible artillery FIRE
was loosed against the allied lines
from Chateau Thierry, on the west,
to Maison de Champagne, north of
Massignes, on the east.
For hours the entente allied lines
were under a tempest of the most
tremendous character. Not only was
the actual battle area under bonn
bardment but the towns and cities
far behind the lines were made tar
gets for great ten and twelve-inch
projectiles fired from what appears
to be naval siege guns brought up be-
hind the German positions.
During the past week. it has been
rumored that the resumption of the
German offensive would witness a
long range bonn bardment of places
which would heretofore be consid-
cred at safe distance from the
front. These rumors proved to be
true.
Germans Close Quiet Section
The lay world had expected the
German main effort to be loosed
against the line from the Marne to
the Aisne, north of Chateau Thierry;
in the Picardy sector, towards Abbe-
VILE or further north. in the Lys Sec
tor against the channel ports. Along
this line The allies have been daily
improving THEN lines and preparing
for the new drive.
But the Germans chose a sector
which, except for a surprise attack
around Rheims, late in June, has
been quiet since the offensive launch
ed on the Aisne on May 81 came to
a standstill. East of Rheims and
North of Chalons there has been but
little fighting of significance for a
long time.
This line, of which Rheims may be
considered the Keystone, was chosen
for the reason that information
might have been received by the
Germans that it was less strongly
held than sectors along the front
nearer Paris. Thus it might be rea-
sonable to expect that a greater ter
ritory could be oVerrun there at a
smaller expense of men and ma
terials than on the lines where the
allies are to be very strong.
Strike For Railroad
The Germans hold the north bank
of the Marne for a distance of about
twenty miles east of Chateau Thi-
erry. Their line leaves the Marne
near the village of Dormans and runs
off to the northeast of Rheims, where
it turns abruptly to the southeast
and runs down the valley of the
Vesle river to the village of La
Pompelle, where it turns eastward
and runs in a relatively straight line
to Verdun. Maison de Champagne,
the eastern limit of the present bat
tie. is thirty-one miles west of Ver-
dun.
Located back of the allied line
EAST of Rheims is the railroad which
supplies the French forces at Verdun
nd Inn NJ NJ a1 II
food and supplies. In this sector
too, are the important cities of Cha
Ions, Epernay and Barbecue, all
three of which are important supply
centers for the allied forces. The
railroad was interrupted to some ex-
tent by the German advance to tine
Marne between Rheims and Chat.
eau Thierry. but it is still a very i'm,
| portant artery for the allied forces
The only other fighting of momen
! from the front has occurred on tn,
! Villers- -Bretonneux sector, in from
| of Amiens. where the British havl
/ improved their positions.

RED CROSS SERVICE
FLAG UNAUTHORIZED

The use Of small Red Crosses on
service flags is unauthorized. says
Charles Scott, Jr., division manager
of the American Red Cross in a
division order received at local Red
Cross headquarters to-day. The text
of the order follows:
"As certain cases have arisen
where a service flag has been dis
played showing a small Red Cross

Red Cross work, we beg to call the
attention of all chapters to a ruling
recently received from Washington
to the effect that their practice
should be stopped.
THE Red Cross has not author
ized any service flag and any such
use of our emblem is therefore un-
authorized

Mock suns of the Arctic.

The mock suns of the arctic regions are somewhat similar to the mrages of the desert. As the long winter night of the polar region wanes once every twenty-four hours a slight glow is seen at some point on the horizon. Often accompanying this glow is seen the phenomenon of the mock suns. sey- efsll degrees up in'the heavens as many as i've of these spectral orbs have been seen at one time. Invariably they are all connected in a geometric figure, the suns seemingly bound together with
 circles and arms of light. The expla. nation of the phenomenon Is given by physicists as refraction and reflection of light from the real sun below the horizon on the mists In the upper at mosphere. .
