ACTIVITY ON ITALIAN FRONT The Last Day of These Unmatchable Savings in the Newest f Allied Detachments on Dvina Repulse Bol-sheviki. (By The Associated iPress.) Tnroads by the British and Ameri cans against the German line south of "Valenciennes make It preamble that the enemy -will be forced to 'begin a new retreat toward the east. Although the Allies have reached the Mormal woods where the Germans J:ave prepared for a stubborn stand, the progress made north of this, ex tensive wooded section threatens to urn the enemy out of his position there before he has an opportunity to meet frontal attacks along the west ern eMe of the forest. It would seem that the advance between Mormal forest and Valenciennes has shattered the German hope to stand on the de fensive along this section of the line for any protracted period. French forces, pushing eastward to the German Frenches along the Oise 6erre front, have moved forward at three points. Opposite Longchamps, they have crossed the Oise canal and, farther south, have advanced near Originy-9t. Benoite. They also have cut a deep notch In the German lines north of Villers-le-Sec.' These suc cesses will tend to hasten the Ger man retirement from the bend in the line which remained after the evac uation of Laon. ; The American divisions engaged in j tearing away the Krlemhlld line be tween the A:gonne forest and the Meuse have once more advanced their front, especially hear the western end of the sector. They appear to threat en the rest of the German defensive system to the east. Near Banthville, the Americans have gained Important tactical advantages. East of the Meuse the Germann have been forced back more than half a mile on a front of nearly a mile and a half. There are indications that activity don the, Italian front has revived. Vienna reorta violent artillery fire between the Brenta.and Piave rivers end in the Montello sector, where an Jtallan attack In force might be ex pected . In Belgium there has been compar ative hi;l in the combat during the past few days. Allied detachments on the Xrvlna front In northern Russia have beat off (heavy attacks by Bolshevik troops. They told their ground and even moved their lines forward, French and Serbian forces In Serbia continue to advance toward the Aus trian frontier. Vienna admits Austrian troops have retired to Jagodina, about 40 miles from the border from the east of Serbia. SAMPLE SHIPMENTS NOW PERMITTED War Trade Board Opens .

Both Plutarch and Athenaeus pay great tribute to her wit and beauty. She was born in Athens, and her first great Journey was into Egypt, whither she was! drawn by the fame of a flute player j of that country. Her beauty and . r:enius attracted Ptolemy, and she became his mistress. When Ptolemy I was defeated in his conflict with De metrius Poliorcetes, for the Island of Cyprus, about 332, B.
