U1ABLE10 Hï ADVANCING HUES HUNS DRIVEN BACK OF POINT FROM WHICH LUDENDORFF STARTED DRIVE IN MARCH. Roye, In Picardy, the Key to Neale, Captured by French and It is Ex pected Germans Will Retreat Across the Somme. London.—The progress of the Huns toward Pari* is going fine for the allies. In fact the kaiser's army is just now bound for Berlin, and evident ly going faster every moment. Each day of the campaign brings stories of allied successes that are pleasing reading to the people of the allied nations. So great and continued were Tues day's successes of the French and British armies that It is difficult to decide where to begin in telling the story. Geographically the capture of Roye, in Picardy, the key to Nesle, by the French first army is the principal result of a day of many triumphs. From a strategic and moral standpoint, the foremost achievement was the rip ping of a hole into the old Hindenburg line by the British north of the Scarpe. Haig's troops at night stood fully a mile and a half beyond that line from which Ludendorff launched his super drive on March 21. Fully a score of towns and villages were overrun by the allies in their vic torious eastward rush—the French on a thirteen-mile front between Chauines and Lacourt, the British on a thirty mile line between the northeast of Ar ras and the Chauines region. Prisoners? Hordes of them. But there Is -little time now for counting captives. Both Haig and Petaln con tent themselves with reporting "hun dreds" here, "hundreds" there and "many" in various other sectors. The ^critical stage of the whole of fensive is approaching, for Ludendoff must decide, and decide quickly, whether he can afford one last gamble to retrieve his defeats by trying a great counter-offensive, or whether "the jig is Up" and his legions must forthwith retire all the way between BTanders and the Champagne, and re tire not to the old Hindenburg line, but far beyond it to the Meuse, in the south, and to the Franco-Belgian fron tier in the north. With Roye fell another keypolnt In the stop-gap line, to hold which the Germans have been struggling with desperate fury ever since the allied Picardy drive began. When Von Hut ler's army was in the Montdldier pocket,'Roye meaut to him what Fere en-Hardenois had meant to the crown prince in the Marne funnel. Only two roads' run out from Roye, one-toward Ham, thirteen miles east of Roye, and the other to the Somme through Nesle, six and a half miles to the northeast. Roye is the key to Nesle, the fall of which would compel the Germans to retreat across the Somme. HUNS EXPECT INVASION. German Retirement in West Making Worst Possible Impression. London. — The German population along tlie Rhine expect an allied Inva sion, In the opinion of a Dutch woman who has just returned to Amsterdam from a small village near Bonn, on the Rhine. In a statement to the Amster dam correspondent of the Dally Ex press she said: "The Impression gathered from what I saw and heard In Germany was one of real despair. The German retire ment In the west is making the worst possible Impression. "The Idea that German soli is to re main inviolate has disappeared com pletely.

SOLDIERS LIKED WAR BREAD British Fighting Men Found Thalr Health Improved Through Us* of Unbolted Wheat Meal. A little more than a century ago, when Britain Had been fighting for years against Napoleon, food became very scarce. Following la from a book on bread-making, written by Sylvester Graham, In 1837: "In order to conserve wheat as much as possible, the British government or dered that the army should be supplied, with bread made from unbolted wheat, meal, I. e„ simply th* wheat ground without having the bran or middlings) removed. The soldiers were at first) displeased with the bread end refused! to eat it, even casting it from them in; great rage, but after two or three weeks they began to be much pleased) with it and preferred It to the fine flour bread. "The result of this experiment was that not only was the wheat made to go further, but the health of the sol diers improved so much and so manl* festly in the course of a few months that it became a matter of common re mark among themselves and of obser vation and surprise among the officers and physicians of the army. They ex pressed themselves with confidence and zeal on tho subject. The publie declared that the aoldlers were never! so healthy and robust. The public pa pers were for months filled with praise of whole-wheat bread, and It was reg ularly Introduced into families. "Still, after this experiment with such IfBppy results and so general and full a testimony had been given in fa or of the coarse-wheat bread, when large supplies of superfine flour came In from America, and tho crops from home became again abundant and the act of parliament regarding the food of the army became extinct, most of the people by degrees returned to their old habits of eating fine bread." SURGEONS DO GREAT WORK Rehabilitation of Wounded Soldiers Seems Little Short of Miraculous to a Civilian. Foster Debevoise of South Orleans, * N. J, on a recent tour through Franco and England, visited the armies at the front, and speaks with enthusiasm of their indomitable spirit and unfailing hopefulness. In commenting he speaks on tbs work done for wounded soldiers: "The men In English cities, of whom I saw hundreds, without legs or arms, or with reconstructed faces, and those in hospitals In process of being mend ed, all had the same words: 'If only I could go back again!* brings me to another wonderful thing, and that Is the way the hospitals are performing miracles. When finally, sometimes after months and months of treatment, the reconstructing process Is finished, the men are taught trades and placed in positions so that they are enabled to take up their lives again with a large degree of happiness. Straps operate as muscles on artificial legs and arms; and I have seen such men swing a hammer, play golf, knit,' or work at lathes. It Is almost Incred ible what Is being done. Hats off to the doctors, I say !" The United States government will apply the same methods of recon struction to those of our boys that ar« disabled or crippled.—Marion Couth* ouy Smith. And" this Rubber in Japan. The rubber manufacturing Industry in Japan has developed greatly within the past year In the scope and variety of it«- -»roducts. In the export trade, too, i importance is increasing. Tho growth of the industry may be seen from the steady increase in the im port of crude rubber. The official trad* returns state that the import In 1917 totaled 9,689,632 yen over the figura for 1915. Formerly most of the auto mobile tires used in Japan wore im ported Into that country, but now tho greater part of Japan's needs are sup plied by domestic manufacturers. Tho export of automobile tires him also begun with the development of rubbeq {riants in Japan. Translation*. Translations are like photographs, best for reproducing drawings and worst for sunsets.
