ASSOCIATED. PRESS) \ : : HUNS LOST MILLION MEN : Paris, July 23.—According to a review of the military situation in L’Homme 21 are approaching 1,000,000 men. French and Americans have crossed the Marne over a front of 12 miles between Jaul Gonne,'seven miles east of Chateau Thierry, and Reuil, near where the German line crossed. the stream during the day when the German offensive was at its height. The allies have taken Oul- chy le Chateau,.a mile north of the Ourcq, and just west of Nanteuil Notre Dame, a dominating point in: ier Clemenceau, the German losses since March A “German line of communication. :They have also.captured the town of Buzancy, seven miles south of Soissons, which brings them up to a ravine that stands between them and the heights to the eastward of Soissons. On the front between Rheims and the Marne, the British have taken Petitchamp wood, near. Marfaux, where they took the places formerly held by the Italian forces. News of these successes by the allies came in unofficial London advices.. It shows that in spite of the fact that only artil- lery duéls were reported from the French war office in its day statement, the allies are making progress all around the salient in which the Germans were caught by the terrific attack of the allies on Thursday morning. nw REDUCTION IN| PUBLIGUTILITY RATESIS ASKED Special Committee of City Com-) mission“Orders New ' Sehedule FORGING AHEAD A lull along the line might have been expected this time because of the stern resistance of in the Montdidier front. the reserves brought up by the enemy and the necessity of bringing up heavy artillery and sup- lies. It appears, however, that the momentum of the allies has not been spent and are forging ahead along the entire line of battle. In three hours they advanced a mile. At 8:15 o’clock this morning the French made an attack IMPORTANT BEARING London hinted that the attack was over a wider front than that indicated in the dispatch: This new onslaught, which had been directed against a comparative quiet part of the front, may have an important bearing on the developments of the military situation along the whole front. Previously in an attack reported as launched last night in this sector, the French had occupied the villages of ‘Mailly Raineuval, Sauvillers and Aubvillers, which are west of the Avre river, and. immediately. south: of the point of the-French successes early in the month when they :cap- there the address. which earned | EXPECT SOLDIERS’ VOTES | will units in giving this. big delega- | tured valuable positions over a front three miles south of Castle, advancing one mile and:a:.quarter. her a five years’-sentence at hard tion ‘an appropriate send-off. ‘ ah labor in the Jefferson, Mo., pris- on...

Mrs. Duffy. testi-| fied that she heard none of the! things which witnesses for the government: testified they had heard Brinton say, relative to; the government being compelled to buy Liberty Bonds in order that it might pay the steel; trust’s exorbitant profits; she did hear something said about taking the pennies out of the babies’ banks to buy War Sav- ings Stamps, but it apparently did not impress her as it had the government witnesses. She did hear J. E. Sullivan say to Mr. Brinton, “I'll get you yet,” and Mr. Sullivan held up a caba- listic two fingers as he said it, testified the witness. Mr. Sulli- van’s reputation for ‘truth and veracity, said the witness, was not good. Didn’t Paint Other Side On cross examination Mrs. Duffy testified that while she had heard Mr. Brinton refer spe-| cifically to the high price of gas and binder twine and Campbell’s soup, making it very difficult for | the farmer to grow grain, she could recall no specific allusions to the high prices which the farmer received for his wheat and his rye and his oats and bar- ley and flax and cattle, nor of| the high prices which the cor-! porations were paying their la-| bor. ‘She “wouldn’t say that-Mr. ; Brinton had said anything con- cerning these things.” ‘Asked about Mr. Sullivan's reputa-| tion for truth and veracity and gen- eral honesty, Mrs. Duffy testified that | Cashier Priest, a Garrison bankker, | had told her frequently and insistent- | ly that Mr. Sullivan’s reputation for | these qualities was not good, She es- timated that Mr. Priest at least seven months out of the year had told her! this.

They have’ now obtained’ positions which’ dominate the Avre valley for several miles along a vital sector. POSITIONS UNTENABLE Paris, July 23.—Fresh progress in the region of Oulchy Je {Chateau says the Echo d’Paris will soon render the German posi- tions in that sector untenable. New forces of General De Mitry’s army have crossed the Marne between Passy and Dormans, says the Petit Journal, which concludes that the northern bank of the river in this region will soon be cleared of the enemy. POSITIONS IMPROVED London, July 23.—Advances in local operations were. scored by the British last night, today’s advices show. The line’ was pushed forward slightly south of Hebuterne on the front. between Arras and’ Albert, and south of Merris and Meteren on the Fland- ers front. The British positions also were improved in the Hamel sector, north of Albert. FRENCH START NEW DRIVE London, July 2.—The French at 8:15 this morning began a new attack in the region northwest of Montdidier, according to today’s advices. At 11 o’clock this morning the French were reported to have |advanced a mile on a front of four miles. It was thought on the basis of the advices that the attack might be on a wider front than the one mentioned. PREPARE FOR EVACUATION With the French Army on the Aisne-Marne Front, July 23.— There are signs everywhere today that the Germans are destroy- ing material and munitions in the pocket to the north of the Marne, between Soissons and Rheims, preparatory to an entire evacuation of that area. HINDENBUi:G REPORTED SICK - London, ‘July 23.—Field Marshal von Hindenburg, chief of the military staff, is seriously ill and has taken no part in import- ant operations of this year, says a Central News dispatch from Berne today. y At great personal effort, the message adds, the field marshal was present at a few of the imperial receptions, but went through the functions without speaking. He is quite incapable of writing, {he advices declare. : “AUTOMATIC SOLDIER” London, July 12.—(Correspondence of the A. P.)—An “auto- matic soldier” is one of the latest developments in war. A Danish engineer has taken out a patent for an apparatus to which he has given this name. It consists of a steel cylinder, normally within a large cylinder, the whole being sunk into the ground vertically. By means of an electrical device the inner cylinder rises to a height of 18 inches from the ground, and a gun inside fires 400 shots in any direction. . From trials already made it has been shown, so it is reported, that a few hundred of these soldiers can easily defend a-position against infantry attacks, however numerous the invaders may be. STIFFEN RESISTANCE London, July~23.—In their fighting along the. Marne the French are reported to be experiencing great difficulty in making a passage of the river at some points. The Germans are stiffening their resistance between the Ourcq and the Aisne and are reported to be bringing up guns.
