Daily War ReDielD
Items Worth Reading

! enemy machine gun nests in their pain
yesterday swept the Germans over the
Jurigny plateau in fighting of the most
stubborn character. The enemy is
throwing in his best troops in an effort
to check the progress of the Franco
Americans over this important STRAIT
! egic position on the Vesle.
Along the Vesle River at Bazoches
and Fismette the situation is rather
less tense than 1t was Tuesday and
Wednesday, when heavy fighting oc-
Cured between the Americans anc
Germans. Thursday the Americans
heavily shelled the German positions
but the Germans failed to accept their
challenge to duel and replied only
| feebly. The claim of the German war
office that $50 Americans We're made
prisoners during the recent fighting Is
denied by the Americans, who assert
that only few of their men are mis-
sing.
British and French forces are con-
tinuing to smash the German lines
and nowhere has the enemy been able
to check the advance, despite stiff re-
sistance which he is offering at va
rious points. Gen Haig's men yester-
day captured Bapaume, and have al
ready reached the Somme River near
Peronne. Tile important railroad
junction is being outflanked. The
French armies have taken Noyon, and
are pressing forward along both sides
Of the Disc. The German losses in
prii guns and materials are
reported to be very heavy.
The Sheppard compromise amend
ment for national prohibition on June
80, 1919, and continuing until the Am
erican army is demobilized was adj
opted late yesterday in the Senate
without a roll call. Amendments to
advance and defer the effective date
and to extend the time for its opera
ton against beer and wine were over
whelmingly defeated. Disposal of the
Emergency Agricultural Appropriation
Bill, to which the Sheppard amendment
is appended, went over.
The situation in Ehstdrn Siberia
seams to be somewhat clarified thru
the disarming of the Zzecho- Slovaks of
all the Russian volunteers who revolted
and took sides with General
Horvath, the anti Bolshevik leader.
The first big big battle in which all
The allied forces, except the Americans
:ook part, occurred last Saturday when
he enemy attacked, but was decisively
beaten. At last accounts the allied
roops were steadily advancing against
he enemy.

SUNDAY.

By a surprise attack which was
characterized as a daring feat, Aus
tralian forces yesterday captured Mont
St Quentin which dominates Peronne
and the angle of the Somme River fif-
teen hundred German prisoners were
taken in the operation. This advance
prepares the way for thecapture of
Peronne and futher advance by the
British armies. In the Lys salient Gen.
Haig's men also made important pro-
gress and now hold that much fought
over ground, KENNEL hill. French
forces smashed the enemy along the
Nord Canal and also advanced their
lines north of Scissors.
A series of thrilling experiences has
brought to the fore the name of an
American officer, who is simultaneous

In battle with twelve German planes
Lieut. Chamberlain destroyed five.
With damaged motor, he volplaned to
