 The latest prisoners taken say they belong to the rear guard whose mis- sion is to delay the advance of the French and facilitate the retirement of the main force with the supplies and big guns.
 The German artillery. which had maintained only a harassing fire up to yesterday, now is laying down bar rages which alone are sufficient to slow up the French advance.
 In spite of the intensified shelling the French today made gains in local operations. occupying favorable po- sitions north of Roye-sur-M -Matz and Chevincourt.

TOUGH ON VACATI0NISTS

Sparrow Con Escorts Giddy Pair of
 Girls to Police Station and They
 Are Let Go.
 Some New Britain policemen view with suspicion the charming summer vacation who come to New Brit ain and if they continue the city will be summed by fair damsels.
 This morning just because two at tractive young Bridgeporters were walking about the streets, lugging a, dress suit case and exhausting some of their carefree spirit they were brought to the police station and were quizzed. They explained that they came from Bridgeport and life there has kept apace with the speed in the production of munitions. They had earned good wages and dressed ac- cordingly. To be sure their skirts were somewhat abbreviated, but they were not as short as skirts worn by young ladies on Broadway
 One of the girls carried a kewpie doll: "The precious little darling is nv bestest" said the bearer. Its not cruel to have him so sparingly dressed because the weather is so hot. I do not think it a bit imnodest. It is only a dear of a doll. I never let him out of my arms
 After making explanations to Cap tain Grace the young women were re- leased from the custody of Park Off, cer Stadler. Wasn't he the rude thing to take us to the police sta ton o. said one of the girls after ward.
 A couple of weeks ago a couple of New York girls who came to town were escorted to the police station and after submitting to questioning were released.

 LII tne summer of 1914 the talk of FaflS was that Miss Held was to be married to 8 Russian, Prince Paul Nakllanott, who had presented to her pearl necklace valued at S18OOOO and she was hera1ded by this an nounCement when she returned to the United States to fulfill her stage en- agreements.
 Taken III East January.
 In January, 1918, when playing in Milwaukee, Miss Held was seized suddenly by 3 mysterious illness which at first baffled the physicians. It was asserted then that she was a victim of a curious and unusual dis ease scientifically known as multiple myeloma, which attacks the marrow of the bones and finally crumbles and col1apses the bony structure of sthe body. Later the best medical opin~ ion was that she suffered from an ad- vanced form of anaemia.
 On May 25 twenty five ounces of blood were injected into Miss Helds veins. For a time results were bene- ficial She gained strength. but aft CT a few days it was obvious that the disease held it's course. She became quite helpless as the end approached but she never lost her cheerfulness and even regarded the imminency of death with a sort of gay tolerance.
 "Voila! What would you?' she said. If I must go, must go. C'est tout!"
 Some of the best known musical comedies and farces in which Miss Held appeared in this country were The French Maid," "Papa's Wife, Miss Innocence" "The Little Duch- ess', which broke all previous att tendance records at the Casino thea ter: Mile. Napoleon" and "The Pari sian Model"
 Few actresses have ever been more liked within their own profession. Men and women in small parts In Miss Held's companies and members of the chorus adored her. She was always courteous and sympathetic and frequently used her influence to cor rect injustices of pay or treatment.
 AS death closed upon her one of the last remarks she made to her doc- tors as she lay helpless in her apart ment at the Hotel Savoy was:
 "It is to die. That is easy! How much more difficult to live! I can- not shrink from death when so many have given their lives in pain for the defence of France. In all my work it has been my effort to cheer and to encourage and this spirit shall not break now"
