Twenty-cight square miles of French

How British armorcd motor cars,

WORLDLY
London. details regarding the
attacks made In Vienna on the reputa
ton OF Empress Zita have been received
in Zurich, a dispatch from there reports.
Immediately after the failure of the
Austrian offensive against Italy "A report
was assduousIy circulated. not only in
Vienna but III all the German -spea king
provinces OF Austria. that Empress Zita
who by birth Is a princess of the House
of Parma, had betrayed the date of the
Austrian attack to Italy through her
mother the Dowaser Duchess of Parma.
Among the other abusive attacks on
Empress Zita is the following:
Empress I.ta is an italian, and as an
Italian she betrayed Austria to the Ital-
ians. Empress Zita Is nothing more and
nothing less than an agent of Italy,
France, England and America
a few days later reports were circulated
that Empress Zita lives an irregular life
and that her mother and sisters are all
alien enemies who are maintained in lux
urious magniiicence at the expense of the
Austrian people.
Private letters from Vienna say IL is
well known there that all this written and
verbal abuse of Empress Xita was circu-
lated by agents of the German govern
ment.
The German idea is that on one or two
occasions Empress Zita has shown some
slight tendency to become restiye under
the heavy hand of German control and
to resist In some measure the absolute
domination of her court by Berlin inhu-
ences. These occasional Indications of
dissatisfaction with her husbands huml-
iatng position as a vassal of the German
emperor, feeble as they we're. neverthe-
less sufficed to bring down upon her .the
wrath of Potsdam. hence the attacks on
her so Systematically circulated In Aus
tria.

FlSMES BATTLE IS BITTER
Prussian Guards Given No
Quarter-American Troops
Covered With Glory.

Paris, Aug. 5. - There was a
lull in the battle along the Sois-
sons-Rheims front last night and
the breathing spell extended into
this morning. The Germans are
being favored by the weather
conditions, which have trans
formed the Vesle river banks into
swamps and morasses, and they
are making a sitter stand here
than was anticipated.
The Americans covered them
selves with glory in the hand-to-
hand fighting in the streets of Fis-
mes yesterday when they cap
tured that German base. The
fighting is said to have been the
bitterest of the whole war, the
Prussian guards asking no quar-
ter and being bayoneted or
dubbed to death as they stood by
their machine guns.
French detachments which
crossed the Vesle are meeting
with resistance from the Ger
mans, says the official statement
from the war office today. 1t is
declared that there is nothing of
Importance to report from the
battle front.

ENEMY FALLING BACK ON
AVRE NORTH MONTDIDIER
Retreat Begun in New Sector
on Front of Five Miles in
Extent.

With the French Army in France,
Aug. 4, Sunday.-The Germans are
retreating on the left bank of the Avre
river, between Bouges and Braches
northwest of Montidier, on front Of
five miles in extent.
Allied patrols are keeping in con-
tact with the enemy.
Late reports show that Breaches was
occupied this evening while Hargicourt
and Courtemanche had been reached.
How far the German retrogression
will proceed cannot be foreseen, but the
enemy probably will not remain on his
present line.
The other German retreat farther
south. between Rheims and Soissons,
still continues. The important town OF
F'ismes has been captured after stern
fighting and allied troops have reached
the north bank at various points.
Everywhere he is being strongly
pushed with no respite.
After the occupation OF Breaches, Hill
o., north of Mesnil st. Georges, came
into the possession of the French. and
then Hills go and 9S in the same neigh
borhood. The French also occupied
the Filescamps farm, south of Breaches,
and the village of Malpart and the
F'ramicourt wood. The southward limit
of the retirement reached Fontaines-
Sous -Montdidier.
EVERYWHERE the enemy Is falling back
from one fortified point to the next one,
meanwhile guarding his hanks from the
possibility of a rush.
Indications OF the new German re-
treat in the vicinity Of the Avre have
been observed for some time. After the
French attacks on Castol several weeks
ago the Germans had been in an ex-
trcmeiy unfavorable position In the val
ley Of the Avre, where they suffered
day and night from an intilading fire.
Recent allied VICTORIES between theAis-
ne and the Marne, which resulted In the
severest of losses to the German ar
mics. evidently decided that high COM
mand to shorten the German line north
of Amicns to strengthen the enemy re-
serves for maneuvcring purposes.
London, Aug. 4.-On the British
front the Germans have withdrawn be-
tween Montdidier and Moreuil, dis
tance of ten miles. The French hold
the slopes down to the western side of
the Avre river.
The situation around Albert Is some
what obscure, but the British have been
closely following the enemy and 1t Is
probable the Germans have by now
evacuated the eastern bank of the
Avrc.
