Bradshaw to Mr. Robert L Holmes, written on July 19th at Aix-les- Banis: Am now down in the foot hills of the Alps taking a seven,day rest. This is some place, believe me, and I must say that if I stay seven days —well my digestive organs will be running like this good old spring water, up mountain pass over there, or rather down that mountain pass. Ye s it is the most picturesque .place in all my travels. Of course I have not traveled but about twelve thousand miles within the last twelve months, and you know n thousand a month won't harm any one, and if I stay here seven days my appetite will be like an Ameri can machine gun, when turned on the Bosche —boy, it will mow those rations down. I am one of the very fortunate BOl lats to get this permission. There are very few soldiers here, but every one is assigned to his liot'l and he really forgets that he's in the army. He's free just as he would be iu civil li/e. No reveille, no retreat, nothing but comfort and good things to eat Undo Sam pays the bill, chickie, ice cream, cake, lemonade and the best mineral water in tho world. There are no exceptions whatsoever here; the Casino and all Club-houses are wide open to all—a back is as good as a general, and in fact, when vou see some of them strolling down down Boulevard de Pierpont Morgan with that English cane iu the air you would really have to think a bit before you could distin guish the saldat Arnericaine from King George. lam slopping at "C Hotel de Marloz" and in fact I thought New York was some place to spend the summer, especially around Niagar i, but no place like the Alps. We will take the clog railway up the incline this afternoon to see the snow covered peaks. You can go to the pass whero Hannibal crossed (lie Alps on his way to Home—it is just a short dis lance from here and of course it's very historical. Well, 1 can't suy more, because the c?nsor has some job here, 1 only wish that you and all thehard work ing peoplo of the town could come here to rest. It would make new men out of you and would bo well worth the price. There is nothing in this old world for a man but health and my motto is not. million* but "Health First" and then, I/ you will pardon me, it's "Graham Next." 1 loave Ihe real for your imagina tion, with best wishes to ull.

SOISSONS IKS BEEN RETAKEN Americans Now Con.trol Almost All Hill and Forest Country In Bouth«m Area. Ths crisis in the allied offensive on the Soissons-Rhelms salient appar ently has been reached. French troops hare entered the town of Solsions, the western anchor point of what remains of the famous salient, and all along the 36 miles of curving battle line from Soissons to Thilols, which lies •bout three miles west of Rhelms. French, American and British troops have pushed in the entire enemy front and sent the Qe:-mans backward ev erywhere In precipitate retreat* Over the battle front the allies, by quick and forcible methods of onslaught, have deeply Indented the Qerman de fense line for splendid gains, which •eomlngly foreshadow the necessity of the eventual retirement of the forces of tho German crown prince to more tenable ground in the north. The plains behind the northwestern portion of the battle front now are entirely dominated by the allied big guns. In the south the French and Americans have negotiated almost all of the hill and forest country and are encroaching precipitately toward the Flames railway, while on the east the British and French are astride the Rhnlms Solssons railway and have their guns now so placed that the en emy Is sure to be sorely tried as he endeavors to press back and gain a haven of refuge along the Vesle river. Just how far the retreat of the Ger mans will go cannot at presont be forecast, but with the southern line swinging northward In conjunction with that on the east toward the Vesle, and with the French dominat ing the Alsae eastward from Soissons, It Is not Improbable that the Qer mans may he compelled to take refuge north of tho Alsne. Numerous towns and hamlets have been captured by the allied troops during the latest lighting and at some points they have advanced from two to three miles. South of Soissons the entire Crlse river has been fordod by the allied troops, northeast of Fore en-Tardenois the allied line has been pushed well to (he east of the region of Grand Rozoy and the town of Sa ponay has been taken. In the center the Neslea wood Is being swept cloan of Germans by the French cavalry and American and French, troops are pressing the Germans hard north of Sergy and the hamlet of Nesles. Further eastward almoxt to the gates of Uhelms, combined forces of British and French everywhere are sorely harassing the enemy. In this latter region, In addition to Thilloli tho village of Vllle-en-Hardenols Is In •illed hands and tho French now are on the heels of the Oermans two an 4 a half miles north of the Dormans- Rhelms high road over a front of nearly four mllos. Altogether, viewed from the war maps, the situation for the allied troops at'present is a most promising one for complete success In ridding the Soissons-Rhelms salient entirely of the enemy. 250,000 CHRISTIAN GREEKS ARE DEPORTED SY TURKS New York. —More than 250,000 Chris tian Oreeks have been deported by the Turks from their homes In the flour ishing regions of Turkey bordering on the coast, notably from Hamsoun, Alv all, Trnblzond and Smyrna, according to a report from the Orenk foreign of fice of the relief committee for Greek* of Asia Minor, given oat here.
