The address was a| rambling ussion of the chain! store scheme and of the attacks made! upon it in the press of the state, Mr. Brinton devoting a considerable por- | tion of his remarks to his personal} history. ; i One important assertion was that} “A, C.

MARINE, 50, SCORNS SAFE JOB AND IS CITED FOR BRAVERY By GEORGE B. NEWLAND. (N. E, A. Staff Corresponden.t) Washington, July 25.—The corporal who, digests carbon copy of the re- ports cabled from France to U. S. marines headquarters told it to the sergeant. “The sergeant passed it to the first lieutenant, who told the cap- tain, who relayed it down the hall to the colonel: “Old Henry has gone and done it again, sir,” he said proudly. “You don’t say!” Obviously the colonel was tickled. Henry has got himself cited: for risking his life in the course of duty. and because it was Henry it was joy ous news. There was just a paragraph stating that Henry Lewis Hulbert, marine gunner, at Chateau Thierry “constant- ly exposed himself to the enemy’s fire without regard to personal danger, thereby assuring delivery of sup- plies.” ‘That paragraph leaped out at the] corporal who remembered how Henry had scorned the desk job in the office of the commandant, where he might have remained the rest of his life. “IT got to go over there,” Henry had said, briefly. He didn’t have to go. He'd earned yhis right to take things easy. He was past his 51st birthday. and he was serving his fifth enlistment. But he ached for real action. Just try him. he said, and he'd show what a youth of fifty could do. So that was why the corporal, the sergeant, the colonel and the whole place were tickled. “Old Henry” had shown what he could do. Hulbert won the medal of honor for bravery in action at Samoa, April 1, 1899. He first enlisted in the marines in 1898. He is a native of Hull, Eng- land. In his 20 years of service for the stars and stripes there is not one blot.

R FAILS HUNS HURL MASSED TROOPS « AGAINST ALLIES TO CHECK ADVANCE AT MARNE RIVER Success of Germans Short Lived as They Are Im- mediately Driven Back by a Renewed: Attack of the Entente Armies—Northward Along the Soissons Line no Infantry Fighting Is Re- ported (By ASSOCIATED PRESS) With the French Army, July 25.—The Germans counter at- tacked all around the semi-circle around the Marne sector. They met the stiffest resistance. There were a few fluctuations in the line, but the allies responded well. Fresh troops were thrown in by the allies on.both wings of the salient. and the artillery duel was of a most violent character. Dispatches from London indicate that hig developments are pending along the Aisne-Marne front. Not only are the allies con- tinuing the conquest of ousting the Germans from the Marne, but a movement, unconfirmed reports state, is in progress to catch a considerable portion of the crown prince’s army. On the easterly side of the salient, according to unconfirmed reports, the British troops have driven in to a great distance. Speed seems to be the watchword of the allies all along the front. 4 ; German rear guards again have hurled themselves at the pur- suing allied forces on the north bank of the Marne. Before the momentum of their blow the allies were obliged to withdraw from the little wood north of Treloup, and were forced back of the village of Chassins, a little farther east. The success of the Germans’ however, was short lived, for they were immediately driven back by a renewed attack by the allies. RETIREMENT UNDER WAY Northward along the line from Soissons to’the northeast to- ward Rheims there have been bombardments, but no infantry fight- ing is reported. As the days of heavy fighting continue on the battlefield north of the Marne, it becomes apparent that the Ger- man retirement is well under way. This is being conducted in an orderly, if not in a deliberate manner, being covered by such irear guard actions as reported at Prelop and Chassins. A study of the map of the region where the struggle is going along, shows that along the line from Jaulgonne, northwest to Oulchy le Chateau, just forth of the Ourcg, or even farther, the allies have pressed ahead during the last two days. . FALL BACK TWO MILES As nearly as the location of the contending forces can be deter- mined at present, the Germans have been forced back or have retired over much of this line a distance of nearly two miles from Tuesday. North of the Ourcq river the situation is obscure, owing to the lack of details given out through official reports or press dis- patches. It may be said, however, that for the moment the line from Soissons southward to the Oureq has reached a state of equilibrium and that the deadlock between the offensive of the allies and the defense of the Germahs probably will continue until the former bring up sufficient troops to break the line at some point. The line south of the Ourcq has placed in jeopardy the line from the village of Fere en Tardenois, which is one of the most important Germano bases in this region. At last account, the French and Americans were almost directly south of this place. Military critics in Paris incline to the view that General von Leudendorff will probably/launch an attack on some other part of the-front to gloss over his failure on the Marne. He might also by this means wrest the initiative from General Foch and force the latter to remove some of his troops from the Soissons-Marne area. h NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS London, July 25.—An advance aggregating 13 miles is report- ed during the last three days on the western front in the vicinity of the Aisne. There were no new developments this morning. From the fact that fresh divisions have been rushed up, the conclusion is drawn that the enemy is being hard put to it. . 4 PRESSURE ON ARMY GREAT With the French Army in France, July 25.—Greater efforts than ever before have been exacted this year by German army chiefs of the troops under their command. All the divisions have been called on to make at least a doubled effort. During last year Germany possessed on the western front The most of these were engaged ‘twice and some three times during the entire 12 months, having in the meantime been reconstructed. Verdun used up 20 divisions, the Somme 25, the Aisne-Chem- in des Dames 80, Flanders 130, Cambrai 25, and minor opera- tions 90, making altogether 370 divisional engagements. With the American Forces on the Marne Front, July 25.— Franco-American troops this morning advanced their lines north of the river Marne more steadily. The Germans continued their retreating movement to the northward. The Franco-Americans also made gains on other parts of this 55-mile battle front. NEAR IMPORTANT TOWN French Army Headquarters in France, July 25,—French | troops are now within three miles of the town of Fere en Tardenois, which is the meeting ponit of eight roads. It is the center of the German communications in this region. The town is being heavily bombed and shelled by allied squadrons. 3 CROWN PRINCE BOXED UP London, July (25.—The Pall Mall Gazette says that rumors are current that British troops have madé a great advance in the direction of Fismes, about midway between Rheims and Soissons. It is also reported that French troops have advanced on other parts of the Marne-Aisne salient, and that armies of the German crown prince have been placed in a position out of which extrica- ‘tion seems impossible. NEW ITALIAN OFFENSIVE Washington, D. C., July 25.—A new offensive against Italy by the German and Austrian troops has been determined upon by the central powers. An official dispatch today said that German. troops had already :arrived in Austria. Pau. he has bue on arm, but this only makes him deared to French hearts. An official dispatch from Rome declares that the Austrian (Continued on Page Three.) Fi The German troops are to be mixed with Austrian divisions.
