FRENCY CAPTURE MANY PRISONERS Take 7,600 Germans When They Smash. Through the Lines Paris, Oct. 24-—1In one of the swift- | est and most dashing blows of the war the French troops, attacking on a six-mile front, yesterday smashed through the German lines north of the Aisne, about seven miles north- east of Soissons, to a depth of more than two miles at one point, inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, and cap- tured more than 7,500 prisoners and } twenty-five heavy guns and field guns. Several important villages also fell into the hands of the French, accord- Ing to the War Office announcement last night. __-Despite the rain and mist which shrouded the battlefield when the at- tack began at 5: . m., the French infantry rushed forward with splen- @id enthusiasm in the race of crack ‘German troops, supported by heavy artillery, and carried Malmaison Fort, on the center oZ their offensive, and the villages of Allemant and Vaudes- son on the left. They also seized po- sitions dominating the village of Par- gny-Filain. Later in the attack, rout- ing German reserves, they pushed their victorious attack to Chavignon, the capture of which marks their fur- thest advance—about two and one- fifth miles. : From Allemant, on the left of the front over which the attack was made, to its eastern limits at Pargny- Filain, the distance is about four miles. Drive Germans From Quarries. ' The night official report reads follows: North of the Aisne the attack which we launched this morning developed under extremely brilliant conditions. Despite mist and rain, our troops at- tacked with admirable enthusiasm formidable organizations of the enemy which were defended by the best troops of Germany, supported by heavy artillery. In their first dash our soldiers cap- tured the line indicated by the quar- ries of Fruty and Bohery. A little later Malmaison Fort, in the center. fell into our hands. Pushing their advance still further, our troops, after a desperate engage- ment, in which they gave proof of their irresistible snaj drove the enemy out of the quarries of Mont- parnasse, which had been partly + crushed by our big shells. On the left our progress was conw tinued with the same success, the vil- liges of Allemant and Vaudesson re- juaining in our power, while on the ight our troops carried their line tu heights dominating Fargny-Filain. Finaily, in the center, our troops drove fresh enemy reserves heller- rkelter and captured, in a violent struggle, the village of Chavignon. At this point our advance reached a dspth of three and a half kilometers, (nbout two and one-fifth miles.) The enemy losses in the course of the day were large, in addition to those inflicted on him by our artillery preparation. The number of prisoners counted up to the present exceeds 7,600. In the enormous amount of material captured we have counted twenty-five heavy and field cannon. Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, our aviators carried out with audacity the missions imposed upon them, their machines flying fifty me- ters above the lines. ‘ Following is the afternoon report: This morning at 5:15 o'clock, after artillery preparation for several hours, our troops assaulted the powerful Ger- man positions in the region of Alle- mant and La Malmaison, (northeast of Soissons). On the whole front of attack we made good progress and we took a number of prisoners. Northwest of Rheims there was rather heavy artillery fighting in the night. Three surprise attacks against our small posts west of Bermericourt and east of Neuville were without re- sult. In the Argonne an Incursion into German trenches at Cheppy Wood en- abled us to inflict losses on the enemy and bring back prisoners. On the right bank of the Meuse (Verdun front) the artillery action be- came violent late in the night in the region north of Hill 344. as FOOD ADMINISTRATION.

German gold the 1918 outbreak, just as it did in that of 1916, and the preliminaries which { were to lead up to the actual out- | break, | operation when the American Secret were ready to be put into | Service brought about the arrest of ! three men, two of them Sinn Felners of note, and the other a German sub- i ject who, according to Secret Service data, was designated by Bernstorft ta look after Germany's “interests in Ireland” after Bernstorff was ordered out of this country by President Wil- son. As a result of the arrests the United States government is said to be in i possession of the official Sinn Fein re- port of the 1916 Dublin riots, and other data which Chief Flynn admit- ted last night would prove of great value. He did not indicate the na- ture of this information. The fact that another Sinn Fein outbreak had been arranged for and ing prisoners. announced that Dr. ton, another of the Sinn Feiners who figured in the Dublin riots, had been taken into custody at Canadian officials acting on informa- tion telegraphed to them by Flynn. that several of the instigators were to Ireland, became known late yester- day afternoon when secret service agents, acting under the personal di- rection of Willlam J. Flynn, chief of the service, brought “General” Liam Mellowes, one of the leaders of the 1916 outbreak, and a German who gave his name as Baron Max von Recklinghausen to the Federal build- i and had them listed as federal At the same time it was Patrick McCar- Halifax, the Chief Other arrests are to follow.

Baron von Recklinghausen, a blonde-haired German who has spent a great part of his time in recent years, in the United States, seemed in- dignant when taken to the federal building. The Secret Service agents say the Baron was often referred to by Sinn Feiners in New York as “the envoy” who wag left behind by Bern- storft to represent Berlin in Sinn Feln conferences. Dr. McCarton was referred to by local Sinn Feiners as the ‘“Ambassador of the Irish Repub- lic to the United States.” Mellowes was dubbed a ‘general.’” Mellowes and von Recklinghausen were arrested on Monday night and MecCarton was taken into custody at Halifax on the arrival there of a steamship on which he, under an as- sumed name and using a fraudulent seaman’s passport, had shipped as a messman. Mellowes also had the as- sumed name of Donnelly. That pass- port is now in possession of Assistant United States District Attorney John C. Knox.

We may feel that our share is very small but just as even the small- est bolt and screw is essentlal to the efficiency of an engine so each of us has o rcal responsibility. The homes must be kept, the babies taken care of, the clothes made and the food cooked. “This has always been called wo- man’s work, but besides this we must take a.large part in carrylng on the industries of the nation; doing not only our own share that we have al- ways done but also that of the men that have been called to the front.

L., a few days ago upon two Alabama pri- vates who deserted from the 167th In- fantry (old 4th Alabama), which is part of the Rainbow Division. The men, who both came from Montgomery, Ala., were Paul S. Good- en of Company M and Richard Harris of Headquarters Company. Each is twenty-three vears old. They are now in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlan- ta, Ga. beginning their long terms. They were taken there in irons last Thursday. Only the leniency of the saved the young deserters from ing squad. The privates ran away from Mont- gomery, Ala., where their regiment ‘was mobilized preparatory to joining the Rainbow Division, shortly after they had learned of orders which meant that they soon would be on their way to the front. Private Harris deserted on Aug. 16. Private Gooden disappeared on Aug. 29. The orders for the 167th Infan- court, a fir- try (then the 4th Alabama) to proceed to Long Island had arrived on Aug. 10. The regiment reached Camp Mills on Aug. 31. The deserters were caught by Sherift in the hills near Newber: 8. C., on Sept. 6. Upon receipt of orders from the commanding officer of their regiment they were sent to Camp Mills for trial. WELIFARE WORKERS TO MEET.
