R0Yf TAKEN BY FRENCH AND HUNS ARE IN RETREAT General Debeny's Army Hot Af- ter Enemy in Region South
 of Town. RELYING ON AVIATION
 TO PROTECT RETREAT BritOns After Entering Rove Threw BOches Back Several
 Miles.

With the French Armies in France
 Aug. 27 (By The Associated Press.)- The first French army after beating
 the Germans in their battle positions before Rove, took the town today and now is pursuing the Germans who are
 in retreat on a line extending from Hallu to the region south of Rove At o'clock this afternoon General Debeny's men were in the region of -Hattencourt from where the line passes just west of Cremery and Gruny, by Carpui and to the west of
 Roiglise and west of Verpillieres.
 The French encircling tactics over came the new German system of de- fense by the profuse use of machine guns.
 Strongly protected and heavily arm- ed positions were turned one after the other until the enemy was obliged to
 abandon the first and then the sec | ond line of defenses of 1914, upon which he fell back after being driven , out of Montdidier. The Germans are now relying on their aviation to protect their re- treat.
 Their airplanes were cut in great
 number today, attacking pursuing planes and engaging the French
 squadrons of observation and pursuit
 planes.
 The final break in the German sec
 ond line came this morning when, af-
 ter repulsing a counter attack upon St. Mard. the French infantry resum- ed the offensive.
 Thrown Back. They completely encircled Rove and
 threw the enemy back several miles i east of the town.
 l In spite of fatigue in the long hard
 campaign, General Debeny's men are going ahead with the ardor and en- /! thusiasm of fresh troops.

 While the official statement refers to the appointees as "director of munl- tions", and director of air service '' the changes evidently are intended to erect separate organizations each un- der direct control of one man who will hold the wide power and be entrusted With all responsibility in those fields. Mir. Ryan, with his new duties, as sumes the position of second assis- tant secretary of war, vice Edward R. Stettinus, who is now abroad in con- ! nection with important government matters.

 Thenecessity for the eventual con- solidation of the various activities connected with the munitiQns pro- gram has been repeatedly predicted since the early days or the war.
 Experiences of Great Britain to the establishment of distinct ministry of munitions led many experts to recom- mend similar action as remedy for difficulties in this country.

The Germans are exhibiting still greater anxiety to get away from the advancing MBritish and even the morale fthe enemy machine gunners seems to be diminishing. as they are not holding to their posts with as much determination as early in the battle.
 Various sections of the front saw fresh attacks launched today. North of the Scarpe where the operations taken in conjunction with those south of the river aare gradually releasing the pressure on Arras. the outskirts of Plovaine were reached and the line then ran at an angle slightly west and due north from this point with the British still going rapidly and the enemy resistance decreasing.
 Pelves To Fall Soon.
 South of the Scarpe the British reached Pelves. but the situation there is uncertain.
 Almost directly south of it, how ever, the Bois Du Saart and surround ing ground have been captured, and thus Pelves cannot possibly hold out for long.
 London troops approached close to Croisilles. but hot machine gun fire from that town and othe indications that it was held by large garrison. well protected in prepared positions. caused them to pause for moment.
 At the same time other troops att tackled to the north against 'Fontaine- Lez-Croisilles.
 They are meeting with stiff resis- tance here, but the Germans are rap-s idly being overcome.
 BritOns Go Feast.
 To the south of this place the Brit ish have pushed well to the east of St. Leger and are now fighting just northwest of Ecoust-St. Mein, be- tween that own and Croisilles.
 Fighting likewise is in progress In the outskirts of Valux-Vranc0urt, east of Bapaume the line has been .ex-

Danes region and the Noyon sector.
 Huns Lost Heavily. Everywhere the Germans have lost heavily in men killed or made pri- soner and in addition the allied troops again have captured numerous guns, machine guns and war stores.
 Bapaume, one of the strategic points over which there has been much heavy fighting is still held by the Germans, but the British are now so nearly around it that possibly few of the enemy remain inside of the shell-torn town.

third, planting close enough so as
to have about 5000 or 10000 stalks
to the acre, and fourth, giving fire.

Why Not Be Consistent?

The Food Administration is ask
ing that we save meat and wheat
and use more of other foods, par
ticularly pototoes. Let us go into
hotel dining room, or railroad
diner, and find out about it.
Suppose we order roast lamb
and mashed potatoes, accompanied
by bread and butter. The portion
Of lamb costs us fifty cents, the
potatoes twenty-five cents, and the
bread and butter ten cents. The
waiter brings our order, and we
get a shock. Of meat we have
plenty; four or five generous
slices. We get a half a dozen
slices Of bread. And of the po.

RURAL CARRIER
EXAMINATION
Second Announcement Pub
lished

The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an ex-
animation for the County of New
Castle, Delaware, to be held at
Newark on April 27, 1918, to fill
the position of rural carrier at
Hockessin and Newark and Della
ware City and vacancies that may
later occur on rural routes from
other post Offices in the above-men-
toned county. The examination
will be open only to male citizens
who are actually domiciled in the
territory of a post office in the
county and who meet the other re-
quirements set forth in Form No
1877. This form and application
blanks may be obtained from the
Offices mentioned above or from the
United States Civil Service Com.
mission at Washington, D. C. APP.
plications should be forwarded tc
the Commission at Washington al
the earliest practicable date.
During the continuance of the

twenty-five cents. Certainly an
original way of increasing the use
of potatoes as food-by making us
paw less for meat, which is scarce,
and more for less potatoes, which
are plentiful. After you have
finished eating the bread the
waiter slides up and asks if you
will have more. You say mo" be-
cause you are told to save wheat.
He doesn't ask you to have more
potatoes. Not bit of it. They
are too plentiful, therefore, you
must not have more.
Of course the mere fact that
there are millions of bushels OF
potatoes going to waste for want
of a market; the fact that potatoes
are moving slower this year when
they are cheap than last year wher
they were high priced; the fact
that meat and bread should be
saved and potatoes used in abund
ance cuts little figure. The chez
( will have his way though Rome
burns tomorrow.
