FRENCH EQUAL BOCHES
IN NFILTRATTON GAME

With the French Armies. Aug. 10
A study OF the reconquered ground
proves that General Humbert's attack
preparation but accompanied by tanks
and rolling barrage, was both unex-
pected by the enemy and a surprise to
him.
That IT had not been expected is
proved by the fact that one German
officer had, indeed. remained until the
last minute, but had then. fed pre-
crystal vase which contained three red
roses.
In another dugout was found an un-
sent letter in which the writer said
French shells have killed a horse. What
luck. for us. We ate II. but since then
we have had no more meat"
The German rearguard actions were
Fought, as usual, by machine gunners
who frequently defended themselves with
3great bravery, but the French are show
ing themselves fully equal to the boches
at the game of infiltration. Whenever
fhey meet with serious resistance they

personal wishes he will create three ad.
ditional dry zones In the heart of the
city. Liquor men fear this action and
to forestall such move will make every
effort to prove that Mr.. Kane is "ex-
ceeding his authority"
In creating a dry zone in the arsenal
district. the Federal prosecutor. for the
Philadelphia district. asserted that he
had that right. because the arsenal came
within the category Of a military post
or camp.
Zone for Every $50 Men
when I find" said Mr.. Kane, that
there are $50 or more soldiers in train
ing at an army post or camp I have
the right to protect those men from the
liquor menace by creating a half-mile
dry zone in the immediate territory.
The arsenal has more than $50 men in
training and as a result of that must be
recognized as a military camp or post.
philadelphia armories, If they are be-
ing used for the training and housing
of troops, must be put in the same class.
and if l find that any one of the city
armories is housing more than $50 SOL
diers, I shall take steps to create a dry
zone around that particular armory."

Paris. Aug. 49,
The city is on the tiptoe of expec.
tation today. The German situation
in the bend of the Somme had become
so serious that 1t was thought Foch
might decide the moment has come for
another of his lightning blows at an
other part of the front 1t Is realized
mere that a mOmentary slowing down
or the Allied advance is inevitable. The
enemy is undoubtedly attempting to
re-establish his defensive line. while
the Allies are under the necessity at
the same time of bringing forward
their front bases and organizing a
prolongatiOn of the battlefront which
has taken place.
The Allies have made only n very
slight progress OF late between the
Avre and the Somme. and this is re-
garded here as evidence that the enemy
Is making a desperate effort to pin
down and wear out the British divi.
sions in this region as much as possi-
Bile, while he collects such reserves
as are still available, and especially
guns to replace the short losses.
Continued possession Of Roye Is now
vital to the Germans. Between 1t and
Noyon run the only roads along which
they can retreat to the northeast but
already the Allied troops are within
a very short distance Of Roye itself
and are threatening to turn 1t from
the north in the direction Of Nesle
Lassigny's Fate Sealed
The fate of Lassigny appears to be
sealed. although there will probably be a
good deal of hard fighting before the
Germans consent to give it up. Now
that Humbert's men have won the
group of heights between Lassigny and
the Disc, this town Is more and more
threatened with enlightenment.
In estimating the probabilities that
the Germans will have to continue their
retreat in the near future, the fact must
not be overlooked that they are fighting
a defensive battle now in the very coun-
try which they themselves deliberately
swept clear OF all offensive and defen-
sive possibilities year ago, when they
blew up every road, cut down every tree
and RACED every house to the ground on
the occasion of Hindenburg's strategic
retreat" of March, 1917.
The difference between their carefully
planned retreat and that of today Is
that then they were able to move back
every gun and virtually every man some
three days before the fact that they were
falling back was suspected. Today the
Allies are driving them back in heaps
with enormous loss of life, and capturing
millions of shells, thousands of prisoners
and hundreds of guns

Paris. Aug. 13.-The Allied forces in
Picardy made a heavy attack today
along the entire front from Chaulnes
southward in a determined effort to
break the resistance of the enemy.
The Allies threaten to outfank Roye
and Lassigny. The latter city already
may have. been enveloped and fallen.
The Allied artillery now has ful!
control of the converging roads in and
out of Noyon, near the southern end of
the line, notably that running toward
Ham to the north. The difficulty of
the enemy in carrying out a retrograde
movement is thus increased.

PEOPLES CHRISTAS
 TREE PROGRAM
Concert at Central Park and Sing
 ing in Grammar School Hall

A departure fro marrangemeats of other years has been decided upon for the exercises at the Peoples Christmas tree in Central Park this season. In the past it has been GUS tomary to extend the exercises through several nights but this year they will be held on one night only, Christmas eve, Tuesday, December 24.
 On account of possibility of inclem- ent weather, it has been thought ad- V1sable to hold the general exercises lndors and Grammar school hall has been engaged for the occasion
 The exercises will begin with the ringing of the South church chimes from 6:3O to $50 D. m. and from z o clock to 7:15 the Philharmonic band will give a concert at the tree. The band will then lead the way to Gram mar school hall and it is requested that the public march in procession. A duplicate tree will be provided in the school hall where, between 7:3O and 8:30, a program of Christmas carols will be sung by the assent bly, and the pupils of the Gram mar school and the Philharmonic band furnish ing the music.
 An exrensive program of carols has been arranged as follows:
 Under the Stars.
 "Christmas Eve.
 Hymn for Christmas Day..
 Joy to the World.
