RETREATING GERMANS ARE TAKING
LOADS OF LOOT FROM CIVILIANS
BARREN WASTE FROM JOURNAL TO vALENCENNEs - HUNS
RETREAT DURING NIGHT-.A MERICANs DRIVE TOWARD
METZ EXPECTED SOON

, With the Allied Armies in France
and Belgium, Oct. %. British
troops were fighting their way into
the center of Valenciennes early to-
day, They We're facing strong en-
envy machine gun fire from the east
bank of the Scheldt canal which
flows through the city.
North of Valenciennes the British
have forced their way almost thru
the Raisnes forest. Along the entire
front between Valenciennes and Tour
mai rains have made the progress
slow.
The Germans on this front have
been following the tactics of retreat
ing during the night. The British
have not been able to establish con-
tact with the enemy rear guards un-
til noon of the next day.
There appear to be good indica-
tions that the line on which the
Germans now are resting tempor-
arily in this region will not be de-
Tended for any great length of time.
The entire country between Val
enciennes and Journal is as barren
as desert so far as the French in
habitants are concerned. Liberated
civilians say that the retreating Ger
mans carry so much loot that they
stagger under the loads. Apparent
ly the alleged instructions given the
German troops to take the most
strict care as regards the property
of civilians are not observed at the
front.

Advance Slows Down

ADVANCE SOWS OOWn
Standing behind the Schledt river
the Germans seem for the moment
at least to have stabilized their line
and the swift advance Of the Bel
gians, British and French has been
slowed down. British troops, how
ever, have succeeded in crossing the
river east of Pecq, north of Valen-
ciennes. That city, too, has been
entered by the British but it seems
that part of the place is still held
by the enemy.
Further. south the British, Ameri-
cans and French are fighting hard
in their attempts to break the Humid
ing line This defensive position,
while not as formidable as the Hin
denburg system, is sufficiently strong
to delay the allies advance material
ly.
At the last reports the British and
Americans were advancing slowly
east of the Selle river. The same
situation obtains further down the
line, around what remains of the
La0n salient.
The eyes of the allied world are
now directed at the Lorraine and
Woevre sectors in expectation of an
American onslaught toward Metz.
There have been raiding opera
tions there and further west during
the past few days and raids are US
ually the precursors of an attack. 1t
has been established that Metz is
the hinge upon which the whole
German line is retiring and blow
at that fortress might, if successful,
throw in confusion the whole retro
grade movement which is going on
from the Meuse to the North sea.

AT THE COLONIAL TOMORROW

Sessue Hayakawa in an extremely
tense drama, THE City of Dim Faces"
will be the superb attraction at the
Colonial tomorrow evening. This
splendid picture is one of supreme ex-
cellence and the chief role, that of an
educated Chinese American, offers the
famous star many opportunities for the
display of his versatile talents, which
have been successfully tested in many
photoplays now recognized as classics.
The scenes of this photoplay are laid
in San Francisco's Chinatown. The
hero is a half-caste Chinese who is in
love with beautiful American girl
and when she spurns him he sells her
to & Chinese trafficker in women, and
later his white blood asserts itself with
tragic results. The story is beautiful,
poetic and filed with that delectable
romance so inseparably associated
with Oriental subjects of the higher
class. Sessue Hayakawa is truly at
his greatest in this unusual and power
full story. The supporting cast is a
splendid one, including James Cruze
Marin Sails and Doris Paun. Pathe

PRISON LABOR
FOR GOVERNMENT
To Be Discussed BY Governor
Harrington At National Com
mittee On Prisons
WORK OR FIGHT-SLOGAN

The policy of employing prison labor
for government work as war emer-
gency. which was last week approved
by the War Labor Policies Board will
be discussed by Governor Emerson c.
Harrington. of Maryland. on Saturday,
September Z. at a special meeting of
the National Committee on Prisons
and Prison Labor to be held at the
country home of Mrs. John H. Flagler,
North Brook Farm, Greenwich, Con-
necticut.
The emphasis of the National Com
mittee on Prisons and Prison Labor
upon this policy arises from the fact
that the war prison labor bill now be-
fore Congress was prepared by the
Committee and the American Fedora
ton of Labor. The position of organic
ed labor toward prison labor will be
defined at the meeting on September
Z by John ]. Manning. of the American
Federation of Labor. DR.. E. Stagg
Within will discuss the activities Of
the National Committee on Prisons
and Prison Labor in connection with
the bill and discuss its Importance as
a war measure bill.
The legislature of Maryland at its
last session passed joint resolution
requesting the Senators and Represen-
tatives from Maryland 10 use all hon.
orable means to secure the passage as
a war measure of the War Prison La
Dor Bill. Representatives of the Mary
land Prisons have met with the War
Prison Labor Board TO discuss the util-
ization of Maryland's prison labor in
war work.
As chairman of the Work or Fight
Committee of the National Committee
on Prisons and Prison Labor, Cover
nor Harrington will also refer at the
meeting in Greenwich, Connecticut, TO
the operation of the Maryland Com
pulsory Work Law. Since the Presi-
dent of the United States approved the

BABIES RIVAL
BLUE RIBBON PETS
Children's Bureau Of Depart
nent Of Labor Tells Of
Country Fairs
COUNTY FAIRS THIS FALL

Babies will rival blue-ribbon cattle
and poultry as the center of attraction
at State and county fairs this fall. Ac
cording to reports received by the
Children's Bureau of the L. s. Depart
ment of Labor. children and the things
that concern children are to be given
unusual prominence among the ex-
hibits as a result of the Children's
Year campaign for better babies. Not
only that but the rather haphazard
baby shows" of other days will be SUI
perceded at many fairs by contests that
are to be virtually "well-baby clinics"
tifie principles. The utmost care will
conducted in full accordance with scien-
be taken to guard the children from
the danger of infection and the babies
will be judged by experts.
One of the state fairs where the new
type of baby show will be held is the
Illinois Centennial State Fair, where
baby contest will be conducted under
the supervision of the State Director
of Public Health Entries for this con-
test are said to have reached an UNI
precedented figure as result of the
Weighing and Measuring Test. The
little contestants will be examined by
child specialists, by dentists, and by
eye, ear, nose and throat specialists.
A consulting service under physicion
experienced in children's cases will be
at the command of the parents of chill
dren entered in the contest. Demon
STATIONS of proper clothing and food
for children and lectures on child care
will be given daily for the benefit of
mothers attending the fair, and among
the exhibits will be a model baby well
fare station of the kind adapted to the
needs of a small community.
The weighing and measuring of chill
dren is to be feature of the Michigan
State Fair, where, as a war-measure,
the better babies" department is to
be given unusual prominence this year.
In connection with the test there will
be demonstrations of the proper feed
ing of children with the need for econ
omy and for food conservation kept al
ways in mind.
The newly organized child welfare
department of the Minnesota State
Board of Health is to conduct child
welfare exhibit at the Faribault, Mimi,
fair; and an exhibit of charts illus
trating the care and feeding of chill
dren will have a prominent place at
the East Texas fair. Pamphlets on
child care will be distributed in con-
nection with the baby contest at the
Kansas State Fair; and the Kentucky
State Fair is planning baby pageant.
In connection with many country
fairs there is to be patriotic play
day" to show the value of recreation in
building up young America that is
strong and happy in spite of the dis
turbing influences of war time. Tests
of physical efficiency, drills, games,
and chidren's songs" together with
exhibits of things made and raised by
children will go to make up the days
program.
