ALLIES ADVANCE
 UNDER CARRIAGE
 AGAINST ENEMY
Virtually No Resistance En-

 American Troops Pursu- ing Fleeing Teutons S

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN THE AISNE- MARINE FRONT, Aug. ,. --(By The Associated Press, s D. m. )- The French and American troops north Cf Fere -en Tardenos advanced simul- taneously early Friday, the French oc- cupying Cramaille and Crameiselle be- fore : o'clock and French infantrymen entering Saponay at s o'clock.
 The Americans meantime kept pace with the French through the forest of Ncsles.
 Take Engines and Cars
 Several locomotives and forty rail road cars were taken at Saponay
 The allies advanced under barrage the Germans withdrawing northward through the valley stretching from Saponay. feebly replying at intervals with artillery.
 There were many fires behind the line. the Germans having destroyed am munition dumps before starting north ward. The allies in this district an- countered virtually no resistance
 The French tonight are sleeping in Saponay for the first time in two months.
 Enemy AirpIanes Downed
 Three enemy airplanes were officially announced as having been downed to- day. Three other victories were achieved and it is expected that they will be confirmed shortly.
 American bombing planes success fully raided Conflans Thursday night. Lieutenant David F.. Putnam of New ton. Mass, scored another apparent victory by driving down Germany enemy biplane which he attacked from behind.
 Attempted Raid Breaks Down
 In Lorraine, the enemy put over a barrage at midnight last night but did not follow it up with an infantry at tack as they did in Alsace on the pre- Nious attack when IF Germans suc- oeeded in getting through the Amer ican wire, eight of them into the trenches where one of them was killed During the preliminary bombardment, the enemy used a heavy concentration Of guns and trepch mortars. An at tempted raid at another point broke down altogether.
 LONDON, Aug 2.-Reuters corre- spondent with the American army on tho Aisne- Marne front, telegraphing Friday at D. m., says
 "A notable advance was made yes- tcrday on the west side of the salient. After the gallant French action which cleared the whole of the long plateau known as the Butte de Chalmont, the position there had. been rather critical
 The enemy had practically ringed the butte with semi-circle of fire.
 Tt was plain that while things re- mained as they were in the butte sec tor. the American advance in the cen ter could only be a provisional affair.
 The admirable work of the French and British yesterday eased the sit uation.'
 The allied left laid hold of the high ground above Grand Rozoy and thers is now nothing intervening between that and the French force at Villemon- toire. From this point the allied line declines slightly passing northward oi Reugneux, thence through Cramoiselle and -Cramaille.
 "Such an acquisition is an admirable days work and proves that Genera Petain can push northward whenever inclined"

Decisive Coup Possible

General March has seen in the flat tening out of the Aisne- -Marne salient while the Germans were able to hold the Soissons and Reims jaws fast the vanishing of any reasonable prospect of bagging the German armies. Other officials have had deep conviction. however, that the Germans would not escape from that salient without ser | ious losses and tonights developments | added to their uncertainty. There are
 renewed possibilities of a coup of a de- ciSive character it is believed

Huns Punishment Just Beginning

The greatest value seen by many of ficials in all that has happened since the counter blow was launched is that a precedent of victory on the western front has been established. It has been fully demonstrated already that the enemy can be fought offensively and there are many signs that his punish ment is just beginning. General Foch holds the initiative firmly and is mas ter of the situation. He can choose now the time and place to fight, for the enemy is compelled to act on the de- fensive and to give ground to save his forces from annihilation.

British May Strike Blow

Among many officers there is a
 strong feeling that operations on other
 fronts of the western line are impend-
 ing. They believe that a blow by the
 British to obliterate the Flanders sal
 tent may come at any moment. There have been hints that great concen- tration of British forces has been com pleted probably in preparation for a decisive battle on the western front, and 10 observers here the time now seems to have come for the launching of this assault. They believe it certain that such a stroke will be ordered by General Foch before the fighting in the Aisne- Marne field has been established

Enemy's Line In Danger

Of greater military signifance in to- nights report however. is the advance of the other jaw of the trap at Thil- lois. This was taken to mean the French are pushing in to the north and west of Reims an advance that may well serve to force the enemy to con- tinue his hurried withdrawal to the Aisne without a chance to stand along the Nesle. The left flank of his line at the Nesle is in danger of being turned before his forces south of thai riI CT reach it.
 If the advance of the French on this line continues, it may well become a | race for the Aisne with the enemy forced to abandon heavy material in desperate attempt to get his forces into line beyond the river before they are cut off. The picture of a struggle to the death between the two armies drawn by General March recently, is being revised sharply.

Recapture of Town Most
 Important Achievement
 for Some Days. Jaws of Foch's Great Trap Closing
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

W WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The col lapse of the German defensive positions just north Of the Ourcq, forced by the dash of American troops in the center and the brilliant French and British flank operations, is sweeping the enc my out of the Aisne- Marne salient. The rush came so quickly it was difficult for army officials here to appraise the extent of the victory. There was a strong possibility the Germans would be unable to hold the Vesle line toward which they are hastening and would be driven to the heights north of the Aisne.
 French Hold Key to Position
 Tonights official report from Paris carried the most startling message in several days. Soissons, the keg ot the German right flank in the whole Aisne- Marne position, was again in French hands. At the same time the brief announcement that Thillois, west of Reims!. had been taken, shows that the jaws of the great trap created by General Foch at last had begun to close
 The re-entry of Soissons is note worthy. The French were forced out of the city, the largest on that sector of the front, in the first German as- sault on the Chemin des Danes last May. It's capture by the enemy was z long stride on the road to Paris 2 stride that was in fact definitely checked only when the Germans met American troops northwest of Chateau | Thierry weeks later and were halted ir their tracks and hurled back. To many officials here the little stretch of line where the first two American divisions came into action below the Villers Cotterets forest will marke the Ger man high water mark.

ST. JAMES CHURCH NEWS.

Next Sunday there will be the US
ual morning service at II o'clock.
The night service will be at 1880 o.
clock. The public is cordially in
vited to attend all services.
At 10 o'clock there will be cor
porate communion for the school.
In the afternoon at 3 o'clock there

The Lenten services are open to
everybody. There is a practical adj
dress at each service. There will be
no service on Thursday, March 14th,
The Rector will be attending meet
ing of the Diocesan of Missions in
Atlanta.
The night service last Sunday was
very inspiring. The sermon by the
Rev. John Gass on "Called to be
Saints" was practical and helpful 1t
reminded us that there must be
growth in the Christian life,-growth
in grace and in the knowledge of
God, and growth in spiritual char
acter. 1t was eloquent in it's simpli-
city, and inspiring in its note of hope
and encouragement for all.
To make progress and to attain
success in anything we have got to
dig for it, It is not less true of
Christian character and of eternal
life. We must strive and pray, and
strive again and pray again; and keep
on repeating and striving and pray
ing. Only so shall we reach the mark
for the prize of the high calling of
God IN Christ Jesus.
The music at the night service was
beautiful. The SeXtette from Camp
Gordon rendered three selections,
Hear Us Holy God, THE Lord is
My Shepherd, and Come Unite Me"
They measured up to all expectations
They sang without accompaniment
And there is nothing sweeter than
the well-tuned human voice.
The regular meeting of the Vestry
will be at the Rectory, Friday, March
9Th, at 1880.

AN OLD FRIEND.

You have a friend in Marietta who
keeps a daily record of all that hap
pens in the county that is worth re-
cording.
That friend has been there for
more than fifty years, and has I'M
usual facilities for collecting all the
news. Thirty or forty people from
the various parts of the county as
sist in making the record complete,
and a number of trained assistants
spend every day in collecting the city
news of churches, courts, schools,
committees, and of marriages, deaths
or other items of interest.
Then all this is classified and ar
ranged in convenient shape and put
into printed paper, and the paper
is mailed to you promptly on each
Thursday afternoon, fifty two times
year. Your friend The Marietta
Journal.
Let US continue to be your friend,
and help US to make more friends.
Speak to others about The Journal,
it is only one dollar per year.

THE COUNTY AFFAIRS.

In our last issue we made our
readers the promise to give them the
result of our findings in an examin-
alton we are making of the county
finances.
At that time we did not know that
a public certified accountant would
be here this week to audit the county
books of the various officers. Upon
learning this, however, we pursued
our investigation sufficiently to be
able to state that the affairs of the
county seem to be in much better fin
ancial condition that they were
twelve months ago. We have gone
to the books of each county officer
who handles county money and we
find no cause for alarm.
In view of the approaching report
of the auditor we prefer to withhold
our figures.
We found, however, no financial
catastrophe anywhere. No such
was necessary to find lack of har-
mony between the Board of Com
missioners and the Treasurer, which
is to be regretted.
1t is also to be regretted that the
county has to borrow any money in
times like these, when interest rates
are so high, but the debt has been
accommodating for some years, and
to discus that is useless, it is water
over the dam" now.
Nor will it do any good for us to
express any opinion of the three
cornered alteration that has been
going on between the Times, the
Treasurer, and Board of Commits
sioners, for most people will believe
as they wish in that matter.
We will state, however, that we
rather agree with the Board that the
tax rate of 1.61 collected in 1915
was greater than the tax rate of 1.50
collected in 1917. Even if our arith-
metic had been neglected, we would
have learned that much from an al
manac.
If the auditor finds any financial
catastrophe" we will let you know
it and if he don't find one, we will
let you hear anyhow.
