With the French Army in

bert's troops which yesterday
took Noyon and advanced to
Mount Simeon, to the northeast,
resumed their attack this morn
ing and are advancing up the
difficult heights north of the
.Oise.
With the French Army in France,
Thursday, Aug. 20.-The Germans
are making a supreme effort to
maintain their positions on the
plateau north of Soissons. They are
throwing fresh troops against both
the French and Americans and are
disputing the ground foot by foot.
After the unsuccessful enemy at
tempts a few days ago to retake the
heights west of the Soissons-Coucy-
e-Chateau road known as the Orme
do Montecouve, prisoners taken by
one French division included men
from three different divisions of in
fantry and two battalions of crack
mountain troops.
Foe Re-enforced
The loss of this height and a
further advance made it all the
more necessary for the Germans to
prev ent the allies from gaining
ground on the plateau in the region
of Juvigny where are the last heights
defending the valley of the Ailette =,
where it runs eastward before turn
ing southwark again toward the
Chemin des Danes The enemy has
reinforced his line there with some
of his best divisions of shock troops.
The French third army met with
greater resistance to-day along the
line of the Somme and the Canal
du Nord. The German opposition
was particularly stout in the region
of Nesles, where it was necessary to
have artillery to reduce some posi-
tions.
Tonight the villages of Rouy-le-
Graf and Rouy-le-Petit, east of
Nesles. are in the hands of the
French while south along the canal
they have Breuil, Moyencourt, ard
La Panneterie. North of Nesle,
where General Humbert's troops also
are approaching the Somme the Ger
mans launched counterattack
against Morchain without success.
The Germans appear to be strongly
reinforced by artillery along the
Canal du Nord where their resist
ance is stiffening.
After the capture of Noyon, French
advanced eastward to the southern
slopes of Mont st. Simeon.

I'D. CAMERON,
GREAT FIGUREN
PUBLICLIFE, DIES
U. S. Senator From Pennsyl-
vania For Two Decades;
Once Cabinet Officer
BORN IN MIDDLETOWN
Noted Republican Leader and
Took Active Interest in Af-
fairs of Harrisburg

James Donald Cameron, for two
decades a United States Senator
from Pennsylvania, secretary of war
in the late '70s, and who succeeded
his famous father, General Simon
Cameron, as the leader of the Re-
in the Union, died this morning at
o'clock at his country home, Done
gal, Lancaster county. The Senator,
as he was known to thousands, had
been in failing health for several
months. Members of his immedi-
ate family were with him when the
end came.
Senator Cameron, following in
the footsteps of his father in public
affairs, was also notable man of
business, widely travelled, possessing
wonderful acquaintance and a
strong following, and a lover of
Pennsylvania. Born at Middletown,
May IA, 1888, he often said the lower
Susquehanna valley was the fairest
part of the nation and men of inter
national fame were often his guests
at what he liked to call THE Farm" "
In this city, while the Senator had
been an infrequent visitor in recent
years, he was much looked up to
and left an impress upon the COM
munity. 1t is not generally known
that he was tremendously interested
in the movement for Greater Har-
Iisburg and that at a critical time
he threw his influence toward bring
ing about the consummation of the
hope of the people who thought out
the plans that put the Keystone State
Capital far up in the list of pro-
gressive municipalities.
In his early life the Senator,
through his banking and iron man.
ufacturing interests at Middletown,
where Cameron Furnace was the
main industry for years, became in
timately connected with the life of
this part of the state. and when he
entered the United States Senate he
upheld the Cameron name and kept
Pennsylvania before the people. Tt
was an odd coincidence that the late
Senator M s. Quay. who succeeded
to the Cameron power in politics.

on your imagination and let it swing
before you read what some folks of
old John Harris town think would be
proper recognition of the men who
murdered women and children; de-
