LONDON.-The statement made by the German high command that the German troops have taken up the new positions, is believed to in dicate that they will now cease their general retreat and will make a determined stand on the line they occupy at present, thereby bringing to a halt the Allied advance east ward. The reports from Paris state that the German artillery is thund- ering along the entire front and an intensive bombardment of the Allied line is in progress, but the officials of the French war office believe that the Allies are in a position to compel the Germans to continue their retirement.

SURVIVOR TELLS
 NARROWING TALE
 0F HUN KULIUR

LONDON.-Nine sailors, four of whom were dying of wounds, left by a German submarine commander to perish on a ramshackle raft in the North Sea, where eight of them died is the story of Hun barbarity told by Haakon Ohlson, the sole survivor of the Norwegian bark Eglinton, now recovering in a Brit ish naval hospital. When near death, Ohlson was rescued by a British motor boat patrolling in Helgoland blight.
 The Eglinton was carrying coal to Norway when attacked by the sub- marine firing shrapnel. The cap tain's right arm was shattered, the steward was badly wounded in the leg, a seaman was shot through the body, and the second mates arm was torn by splinters.
 The ship filled rapidly but the crew put out a raft made of five blanks and supported by barrels. A barrel of water and case of bis cults were placed on the raft. The submarine came up, fired into the sinking bark and passed within twenty feet of the unfortunates as it circled about the raft.
 Not a word did the Huns say to us," said Ohlson, although they could see our wounded and the plight we were in. There was a stiff breeze blowing and I expected the raft to break up. The sub marine steamed away.
 The wounded seaman died soon afterward and We threw his body overheard. The next morning, after a sleepless night for all, the stew ard died and then the second mate. We showed their bodies into the water also. On the third day the captain died. Then l must have lost count of time. for on the after noon of the fourth day I found my self along with the chief mate. T did my best to cheer him up, but he only said, I am going down intothe cabin to get my pipe,' and knew his mind was going. He died that afternoon, and managed to get the body clear of the raft"
 "One of the barrel buoys had leaked and that end of the raft settled low in the water. Brine got into the biscuits and into the barrel of fresh water.
 q was alone on the raft for five days" Ohlson went or q didn't see a single ship all that time, must have been a little delirious. because I'd lose count of the hours. l was wet through. At night I'd hear the water swishing round me and then I would sleep"
 On the ninth day he heard dis tant firing. He managed to get to his knees to look about him. There was the British patrol boat. When Ohlson was taken aboard he l collapsed

BRITISH A|RMEN TACKLE GERMANS
 AGAINST ODDS

British Air Force Headquarters In France-Brains and quickness of thought are as necessary to the air man as pluck, endurance and physi- cal skill in aerial manoeuvres. The English pilot of single-seater fight CT of the latest type, while cruising all over the German lines the other day, saw below him three slow, old fashioned enemy machines flying steadily westward, as though to cross the lines into British territory.
 Unfortunately, the Germans were too far off to be attacked success fully, and the British pilot figured that if they realized his presence they would fly for home and safety long before he could get within range. He therefore flew up into the clouds and then turned in the direction in which the enemy ma chimes were moving.
 Judging his time, he pushed the nose of his machine downward dived out of the clouds to the Ger. mans beneath, and, when close enough to be fairly sure of his mark, pressed the trigger of his gun A stream of lead played about the German machines. None of them returned his fire.
 Once before the pilot had heard of similar occurrence. This flash. ed through his mind, and pulling back the control lever, he scared up again into the clouds. He was only just in time, for as he vanished into the vapor three enemy scouts appeared. The slow machines were the bait and the British airplane was the expected prey, for it's pilot was well known and feared by the Ger. mans in that part of the line.
 Once he knew what the odds were against him, he no longer hesitated Down once more out of the clouds he came straight at the nearest scout. A short burst from his ma. chine-gun and the hostile machine wavered, then slowly fell into a spin, hurtling downwards and crash. ing far below.
 For some minutes this competi. tion for position continued, each party firing short bursts without definite results. Then suddenly the deciding factor arrived.
 Out of the sky loomed two seated British fighter of the latest type. It was proceeding on special errand. Before the Germans had realized his arrival the new pilot steered his machine into the midst of the fight. A long burst from his rear gun caused one of the Ger. man fighters to stagger in it's flight then drop it's nose and leave the combat. Evidently the pilot had been hit. Then together the two British machines charged the Ger. mans. A short skirmish ensued be- fore the enemy decided that dis cretion was the better part of valor and put their machines into spins to evade their adversaries fire in the low attitudes, close to earth where the anti-aircraft batteries would protect them.
