Paris, Aug. 1.-The German

The retreat of Won Hutier'
army is showing traces of utmost
haste. Much war material is

Won Hutier's retreat from

The discontinue of General

LONDON, Sept. Ia. - While the
Americans were mopping up prisoners
end guns on the st. Mihiel salient
Field Marshal Foch, despite unfavor.
able weather, launched another attack
this morning on both sides of the
Ailette and Aisne rivers on approx
'nately sixteen-mle front.
Between the Ailettc and the Aisne
two-mile advance was reported earlv.
Mont des Singes was captured, and
also Allemant, Sancy and the western
outskirts of Vailly.
The attacks are in the direction of
the important road leading to the rail
way junction at Laon, where the Ger
man line pivots. The fighting extends
eleven miles north and five miles south
OF the Alsne, threatening to turn the
cnemy's line before the St. Gobain
massif and the Chemin des Danes.
French opinion prophesies a further
American advance north of the present
st. Mlhlel line. On the left flank of
the American attack the German line
has loosened between Tresauvaux and
Chatillon, whore the enemy is reported
to be voluntarily retiring before the
French to a depth of two miles on a
sevcn-mle front.
The British are following Pershing's
push with the greatest interest. They
are watching developments in the St.
Mihiel salient with much the same
feeling they had in July, 1916, when
their national army began its first
great battle on the plains of Picardy.
Military writer's, who take a cool and
calculating view of the developments,
express the highest praise for the skill
with which the operations were carrie d
out. They point out that the eimina
ton of the salient relieves the Nancy
area, strengthens the Verdun commun-
cations, provides a jumping off place
for an attack on Metz, opens the way
to the Briey coal fields and smashesi
the first defences of Metz and the bas-
ton before the Moselle Valley.
Morally the American victory mean.
very much to the French, who always
determined to recover Alsace- Lorraine
by force and not as a pawn in peace
negotiations. The French bank highly
on the Americans. They pin their faith
on the belief the Americans will carry
a large part of the burden the French
have borne for four years.
On the German side, Pershings push
is calculated further to depress the al
ready dispirited people, and to perplex
the General Staff. The war is going
extremely badly for the enemy, how

Says March Is Expected

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Both New

the 9th, composed Of National
Guardsmen, and the 77th, comprising
the drafted men who were trained at
Camp uptoE-are actively engaged in
the present operations on the Western
front, General March, Chief Of Staff,
announced to-day.
The Camp Upton division was in the

March said.
Elimination of the st. Mihie salient
by the first big American offensive and
the consequent reduction of that sector

said to-day, is of extreme Importance
in that it gives the Allies much bet
ter base "for future offensive opera.
ton"
General March paid high tribute to
the American forces which in less than
two days wiped out this salient, the
narrowest and most angular on the en-
tire Western front. The operations
there, he said, not only were a tribute
to the work of the staff, but to the in
dividual soldier.
No report has yet come from Cen
eral Pershing identifying any indi-
vidual unit which participated in the
advance.
General March, however, announced
the composition of the staff which un-
der General Pershing planned and exc
cuted the movement.
General March laid particular en-
phesis on the determination of the
United States to continue to exert it's
whole strength against the Germans.

Newsdealers
In Brooklyn
Defeat Hearst
News Company Gives Up
Attempt to Force His
Papers on Dealers

The newsdealers of Brooklyn have
won their fight to compel the Brooklyn
News Company, subsidiary of the
American News Company, to cease
sending them Hearst papers they can
not sell and do not want
The attempt of the Brooklyn News
Company to nullify the efforts of the
Brooklyn dealers to shake off tbs
Hearst yoke by ignoring instructions to
cut or cancel their orders for Hearst's
"American" has been one of the out
standing features of the Hearst reign
cf terror. If the company could COM
pei them to take Hearst papers
whether they wanted them or not and
could compel them to pay for them
and the Hearst crowd could view their
protests with complaccncy.
SO also could the junk men, who
with the Hearst crowd stood to profit
by the newsdealers' loss.
Organization Proves Effective
The explanation of the change in
policy of the Brooklyn News Company,
according to Joseph A. Sultan, presi-
dent of the Brooklyn Newsdealers' Pro
tective Association, Inc, is the fact
that in Brooklyn the dealers arc more
highly organized than in the other
boroughs.
"The improvement in Brooklyn" said
he, "is, in my opinion, due to the fact
that we have a much stronger organi-
zation than in some of the other bor
oughs and more determined stand
has been taken there. What has been
done in Brooklyn can and will be done
in the other boroughs
$50 far, the American News Com
pany has not changed it's policy of eX
tending this most important aid to
Hearst in the other boroughs. I believe,
however. that it will | do not see
how it can do anything else, unless the
rulings of the War Industries Board
are to become dead letters and things
