RETIREMENT OF GERMAN'S IS NOW BELIEVED ENDED Evident That Enemy Intends to Stand on Old Front Along Hindenburg Line Nest Few Days Exacted to Reveal Plans of the Opposing Com manders. Washington. Sept. 9. With the German army standing today substan tially in the positions It occupied be fore last March 21. when its greatest offensive was launched. It appears certain to officials here that the next few days will see the plans of the op posing commanders revealed. The statement in the official Ger man communique that "our new lines" had everywhere been occupied, is given only one construction here. Apparently it was intended to mean that the retirement had come to an end and that the Germans expected to stop the allied advance along the old front. In that event, it was said to day, the light forces of the French, British and American armies will soon reach the defensive position and subsequent operations quickly will show how Marshal Foch proposes to assail the problem that baffled the French and Britlsn general BtafTs, the b'-eaking of this advanced line of de fense set up by the enemy on Belgian ind French soil. It was evident from today's reports that the allied forces were still feel ing their way forward carefully through the rear guard screens of machine gunners which still cover many portions of the enemy's present fighting front. Behind this screen the Germans were believed to have re occupied the old Hindenburg de fenses, which probably have been re paired and supplemented. There Is a feeling among some of ficials that the enemy is very likely to signalize his Intention to stand fast by striking back hard at the advanc ing French and British forces or even by an attack at some other points des ignated to relieve pressure rather than to achieve any decisive result In the way of capturing towns. It is argued that If the German high com mand has made available a sufficient reserve force by the great withdrawal to permit such operations, a limited drive, possible on the front held by General Perhsing's army beyond Ver dun, might well be thought advisable. On the allied side It remains to be seen whether Marshal Foch plans a flanking operation on a wide front to turn the enemy out of his new lines and keep him moving back or will continue to hit at weak Bpots all along the front. Opinion here is that the larger enterprise is the most proba ble, since virtually the entire Ameri can army is availiable as a fresh, haid-hittlng force with which to deliv er a coup at the breaking of the Ger man front. Thoro u nn rinnht that many offi cers here regard the days Immediately ahead as probably tne crucial penou of the whole-battle of 1918. GERMANY'S INHUMAN WAR ON THE FRENCH CHILDREN, Sufferings f the Little ChlMtrit Have Stiffened the American Soldiers us Nothing Else Hun Mi. Smith of the Fi-aiico-Aiuei'ieHii Commit lei for the Care of Children t the Front (Jive Pitiable Storied of Lit- the Folks Separated Fr.nu Their People. In the Literary Digest Mrs. Joseph Lindin Smith and others discuss the condition of little children found in the towns that have been in the hands of the dastardly German troops. Thwe children are for the most part too young to realize that the French are their deliverers, and that all soldiers are not alike, airs. Smith says: "Go through village after village and you will find them looking as if giant feet had trampled them down, as if huge scissors had ripped open the fields. The faces of the people you meet look empty. It Is as if their souls had been trampled down with their homes. The devastation Is ev erywhere; It aim 08 1 begins to seem like the normal state, it is so gener al. Come back to America and mo tor through our peaceful villages, and you find yourself marveling not to tee them In ruins "France is dotted with a multitude of homes In which the mother, with the head of the family at the front, perhaps dead, Is struggling to care for her children and keep the wolf from the door. These mothers toll early and late. Some of them have little patches of ground which they make shift to cultivate. Poverty lurks side by side with them constantly. They try to keep the family together to keep their children with them. Only under dire necessity will they consent to part with them "The first thing we do when we take charge of a refugee child is to give it a tag, a tag which the child must con stantly wear, Just as a soldier must always wear his Indentlficatlon medal. The tag bears the child's name ana the name of the place from which the child last came. Sometimes in the confusion it is difficult to set every thing just right, but so thoroughly have the civilian and military author ities co-operated to assist in identify ing these little waifs that our commit tee, which has taken over the care of 2,800 such children since the war be gan, has been able to Identify all "t forty of them, and these were from villages In which the enemy deliber ately destroyed the civilian records, apparently with the sole purpose of preventing French families from be ing reunited." "I will tell you hundreds of stor ies of children being separated from their parents. For instance, there is the case of two little boys with their mother were visiting an aunt on the Belgian border when the war broke out. The mother went back home to see what had happened to the remain ing 5 children of her family. Neither she nor the 5 children were heard of again. The aunt disappeared dur ing a bombardment, and these boys, left alone in the world, came to our society. They have never received any information from their relatives. "The children from the de vastated districts of Belgium and France come to us in a condition which the word pitiable does not be gin to describe. The cruelty to the children has most affected our Amer ican solders over there. I have talk ed with American soldiers who could not restrain their tears as they look ed at little children in our charge and saw what the Germans had done to them. And they did not try to re strain their tears. Their emotion wag too deep " 'Oh,' cried one of our boys with whom I talked, a boy from a Western fram, "you'd think they'd take some one of their size!" "The wrongs done to the children have steeled the hearts of the Amer icans, with their Allies, for vcngeince or. rather, retribution. There is a day of reckoning ahead. "Everywhere the American soldiers are stationed they make friends with the children immediately. And the children, the ice once broken, are not backward. They see In these soldiers their friends, their deliverers. Most of the Belgian boys who have come to us lived in the trenches with the Brit ish Tommies for months. They had to live in the trenches to be safe from the shells that fell in an almost In cessant shower upon the countryside. They have picked up a lot of English ana sing what tney consider tne ism Rh national anthem. What they sing Is 'Tipperary.' While on a visit to a colony of Belgian girls I was told that they had learned a song to Bing in honor of my coming. 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' of course, I concluded. Altho they could not be expected to understand more than perhaps a few words of what I might say, I made them a lit tie speech, in which I told them how glad I would be to hear the national anthem of America, aung so far from home. The song they sang was 'Jack and Jill.', "One little five-year-old boy who. hidden away In a cellar, had endured months of the nerve-shattering bom bardment of Rhelms came to us a wreck. One day after six months o so he seemed to be normal again One day the colony at which he was being cared for happened to be with In the area of a German air raid. Bombs fell all around the place. Our little chap did not seem frightened, only indignant, Intensely Indignant, so indignant that he burst Into a pas sion of tears. " 'Little citizen of France,' said one of the nurses, "why do you cry? " '1 am afraid I will be cbmped again, now,' he walled, 'and then God will lose track of me.' "Another little lad was indignant from another point of view Indig nant and grieved. " I didn't think the Germans would dare come where the Americans were!" he cried., In one of our colonies were fifty Belgian boys so crushed by suffering that they were always silent, like aged and broken men. They never indulg ed in any boyish play, they never talk ed, they never made any noise at ail. They were so silent that a French wo man who lived next door came over one day to see what was wrong she couldn't believe there were fifty boys In the place, for she never heard any noise! it as Incn.uitanlv sad. mart' ame. That was not the way of boys Within three months sh-s made an other visit, this tlmo to protest that the boys made such an Infernal nols that It was not within human endur ance to stand It! Sj much f ir what degree of restoration can be effected "Often for week after children have arrived at a colony It Is out of the question to have n open lire. The sleht Is too heartrena'.ng to the new comers. It recalls to them with all the vividness of recent experience their burning home or thulr burning church. But soon they forget, loutn Is resilient. "We had one little glil whi for rlx weeks after coming to us did not sneak a word. The doctor who exam Ined her said she whs normal, but was suffering from fright because of the horrors she had heeu obliged to witness. He nredlcte.i a recovery and It came. One day she reached out timidly, seized the hanl of the nurse, and murmured: 'You cannot be a German! You' are kind' "We have records of boys of four teen or over who have sat for weeks twirling their thumbs. Inert from horror, speechless, yet In two months they will have so recovered as to be able to start to learn a trade. We have had about sixty arrive In this abnormal condition, yet only two have had to be given over to the care of alienists as permanently abnormal." The German empress, who has been ill for several days, has taken a turn for the worse, according to a message re-elved In Amsterdam from Dusseidorf and forwarded to the Lon don Exchange telegraph company. Henry Ford, Detroit automobile manufacturer and choice of President Wilson for the Michigan senatorial nomination was nominated by the Democrats In the state wide primary August 27th. GEN. PERSHING COMMANDS MOST OF t. 8. SOLDIERS Over Mnety per rent of Americans Oversea are in French Sectors Huns are Being Cloweljr Pursued. Washington. Sept. 8. Concentra tion of American troops in the Amer ican sectors in France is proceeding rapidly and General Pershing tow has under his direct command, more than 90 per cent of the troops who have reached the other side. This was revealed Saturday by General March, chief of staff, who said that more than 90 per cent of the Amer icans now are in the American sectors, General March made no comment as to the purpose of this concentra tion and added nothing that might in dicate his own opinion as to the probability that an all-American drive at the German lines might be Im pending. He did not say, however, that the custom of brigading ne"w di visions with the French and British forces to hasten their preparation for front line duty had not been aban doned. "But as our men now go over there pretty well Instructed." he ad ded. "the time they stay In the train Ing camps over there Is very much less." General March announced also that the 27th division, previously training behind the British lines, is now on the line in Flanders. This was interpre ted to mean that the division soon would be withdrawn to join Fersn ina's army. ' In his review of the battle situa tion, General March pointed out that the Germans are retreating along a 100-mile front from the Arras-Cam bral sector to Rhelms with French, British and American troops In close pursuit. Officials reports Bhow that the en emy is now 60 miles from Paris at his closest approach to that city, General March added, while the old Hinden burg line, from which the greatest German effort of the war was launch ed last March, stands at the point of maximum distance only 10 miles be yond the present active front. "The pressure which forced this retreat, General March said, "came at two points; the British front between Ar ras and Perrone and the Franco American sector on the plateau of Solsaons." Reviewing the progress in each s m tor. General March said tne'BrltlH thrust toward Cambral had paused along the line of the Sensee marshes and the Canal du Nord with Cambral only seven miles away and no natural obstacles impending the road to that objective. In the meantime, however, the British crossed the canal farther south and swept forward yesterday and today toward the Hindenburg line north of St. Quentin. Of the thrust by the French and American forces, General March said: "The Franco-American drive across the plateau north of Solssons directed against the flank of the Chemis des Dames, after a week of severe fight ing, forced the enemy to fall back without further resistence from the Vesle. Our allied forces crossed the Vesle-Alsne ridge and reached the Aisne river on a 10-mlle front last night." Further evidence of the drain on German manpower during the fighting of the last few months reached Wash' Ington today in official dispatches which quoted captured enemy docu ments. Numerous German battalions now are composed of three companies In stead of four, It was said, as reserves were not available to keep four com pany units up to necessary strength. In this process of consolidation, 40 German regiments are said to have been wiped out entirely. It also is stated that the men of the German class of 1919 are rapidly dis appearing and those of the 1920 class must be drawn on to fill gaps. The dispatches note the military ef flciency of the class of 1920 Is very low as the boys are exhausted by un derfeeding before they joined their regiments. The dispatches also say that the actual monthly arrival of American troops in France Is equal to fully one-half of' the German annual recruitment.

Chamberlain of Marine Corps Scatters German Squadron of 12 ' Machines While on Furlough Reo unintended for V. C. and Congre ' tdonal Medal. First Lieut Edmund C. Chamber- lian of San Antonio. Tex., a graduate ef Princeton and the university of Texas, and an aviator attained to tne United States marine coips, has re ceived simultaneous recommendations for the Victoria cross and the congres sional medal of hunor for an exploit in which he figured on July 28. On that day over the Liitish front Lieut. Chamberlain took part in an aerial battle with 12 German machines. He destroyed five of them, damaged two Others, and, sweeping earthward with a damaged plane, scattered a detach ment of German soldiers. After land ing he bluffed three others into believ ing his compass was a bomb and cap tured one of them. He tnen carried a wounded Frtnch officer back to safety and finally refused to .give his name to the British officer in com mand of aerial forces in that section of the tront, because of his fear of be ing reprimanded. The story, which is one of the most thrilling chapters in the diama of the war, also has been cabled to America by the London officer of the commit tee on public Information. Lieut. Chamberlain appeared at a British aviation camp on July 27 and informed the major in command that he had personal, but not official, per mission to visit the camp. This is borne out by the young man's superi or, who says that Lieut. Chamberlain had asked to be permitted to go up near the front during a furlough, be cause he desired to get some more ex perience before resuming his work. The British commander was in need of aviators and as there was a bomb ing squadron about to leave told Lieut Chamberlain he could go along. On this flight the youngAmerlean brought down one German airplane in flames and sent another whirling down out of control. The next day came Lieut. Chamber lain's wonderful exploit. He was one of a detachment of 30 aviators who went out over the battle field through which the Germans were being driven by the allies. As the 30 machines oircled about over the flee ing Teutons they were attacked by an equal number of German machines. It a as a hurricane battle from the first and almost at the inception of the combat the British lost three planes In the tempest of machine gun bul lets that roared about his machine, Lieut. Chamberlain's engine was dam aged. One of his machine guns became Jammed, and he seemed to be out of the action. But Instead of starting for home, he remained to offer assistance to two other airplanes, which had been at tacked by 12 German machines. His machine had to stop owing to engine trouble, but when he was at tacked by a German, he opened such a hot fire that the enemy went into a dive toward the earth. His two companions were now en gaged in a life nnd death struggle and Lieut. Chamberlain went to their n slstance. His action probably saved the lives of the two Englishmen. His engine was now working better He climbed up toward the enemy and with a burst of fire, sent one of them crashing to the earth. A second wa? shattered with another volley from his machine gun. Then Lieut. Cham berlain lopped off a cordon of enemy Iniachines which had gathered to finish him and, as he sailei away, he shot the- wing off .mother German ma chine. The leader of t'.ie Genua a s;;uadron came straight at him. but was met with fitch a torr t of bullets that his airplane- joined tin- others sent to earth by the American. The lieutenant fen tu'.n.d for tho Brit'sh line.

A.1 he made a wide sweep toward hU destination, ae saw beoeath him a roiumn of Geinuj troops and into it be poured a gust o' machine gun bul lets from the gun which had been ji-mmed, but whlc.i he had succeeded la 1 1 nine Into action again. The l-ermans scattered and Lieut. Cham benain flew on f ir an eighth of a m'le and came to earth. lie found that he could not carry oft tbft equipment of his machine, so hj took his compass and started run mm: across the fields. As he did so he encountered a ,a t"l of three Ger mans. He shoutei ti the, in to surren- d jr. waving a compass oi ove his hon, like a bomb. Two cf the enemy ran and the thitd surrendered.

He then reportej "reidy for duly," asked the major in remmand of the British airmen not t'i make any re port of the affair and refused t give his name. The major was unable to keep the affair quiet and the full de tails were made i: part of his official report of the day's fighting. Lieut. Edmund G. Chamberlain was born June 14, 1891, at San Antonio. Tex. He was educated at Princeton and in the university of Texas. During the period when American tio.ops were grouped along the Mexican bor der, he did sccuting duty along the Rio Grande. He became a 2n( eu tenant of the marine corps en list 1, 1917, and was promoted to 1st lieutenant on July 1. 1918. Before being assigned to aviation duty, he served at Philadelphia, Miofola, N. Y. Lake Charles, La., and Miami, Fla. He was officially reported to have been engaged in IS bombing raids over the enemy lines, according to an announcement made at Washington on August 21. HOW GENERAL FOCH MADE HIS ENTRY INTO ITALY. Flrt Officer to Recognize Him Found Him Carrying Load for Italian Hoy Soldier. (Rome Dispatch.) . The following story is going the rounds of the newspapers in Italy: The Italians influenced by devil made rumors were still retreating before their German-Austrian "kam erads." The British and French troops poured into Italy, commanded by Foch. At once the Italians began to make some sort of a stand. An Italian boy soldier, loaded down with a heavy bag of supplies, was climbing a steep path. No horse or automobile could make It; everything must go on men's backs. The young Italian was very tired. The load was too much for him, but he kept plugging ahead. He heard a footstep. A brisk old man, dressed in the horizon blue of France, came up beside him. "Pretty heavy load for you, son," said the old Frenchman, speaking Italian. "Oui, m'sieu," agreed the son of Italy, speaking French to be court eous. "Let mc- give you a hand," said the ! old French soldier, and he seized the heavy bag and threw It over his own shoulders, and the sons of the two Latin nations kept climbing. After a time tho man in horizon blue said, "Let us rest a minute," and they sat down beside the path. Soon some Italian general staff offi cers appeared one of them being on the king's personal staff. Of course, the two soldiers by the roadside came to their feet to salute the high offi cers.

Ryan Went Over on TiansMit Kyan Will Familiarize Himself With Airplane Situation. Washington, Sept. 8. The war de purtment today announced the arrival in Fiance of Secretary Baker, accom panied by an official party, including John D. Ryan, assistant secretary in charge of aircraft, and Major General Gorgas, surgeon general of the army Mr. Baker and his party made the trip on an army transport which car ried its usual quota of soldiers to Fiance. Before leaving this country the war secretary said the personnel of his party would make plain the purpose of his second visit to France and that he hoped the trip would not keep him away from the United States for a very long period. It Is understood that Mr. Ryan went abroad for the purpose of familiarlz ing himself with the airplane situa tion overseas and to Inspect the fac tories engaged in building planes for the American army. Surgeon Gen eral Gorgas will Inspect the American army hospitals overseas. Brigadier General Frank T. Hlnes, chief of the embarkation service, who also accompanied Mr. Baker, will visit the American ports of debarkation in France to acquaint himself with facilities and conditions in those places. Lieut. Col. George H. Balrd, mill tary aide to Mr. Baker, also Is In the secretary's party. This Is Mr. Baker's second visit to the American army In France. Sev eral months ago he spent some time abroad Inspecting the ports at which American troops and supplies are landed; the lines of communication between those ports and the army at the front and the r.rmy Itself. Most of Washington's lO.f'OO auto mobile were kept in their grirages. A senator who appeared on Pennsyl vania avenue motoring towards the capitol was stopped by a policeman and questioned about the urgency or his business. Herbert C. Hoover, the United States food administrator, has been awarded the Audiffret prize of $3000 by the French academy of moral and political science. The prize was awarded to Mr. Hoover for his serv ices as food admlnistrstor in Bel glum and the conqnered territory of France. FRENCH POUTS JOYFULLY WEIiCOME AMERICAN BOYS Little Children Shout "Vive Lrs Am ericans" Great Receiving Point In Ovt-rweas Republic Not Afraid Am ericans Came to Take Possession and Settle IHmn .as Huns Said. American Port, Western France, July 31. (Correspondence of the As sociated Press.) In no section or France are the people more enthusi astic over the coming of Americans than at this great receiving port for American soldiers. German propa gandists at first spread the idea that the Americans were coming to take possession, settle down and stay; but all this now has passed. Along the country roads, the pass ing of Americans is the signal for a demonstration, with peasant children scattering flowers and cheering "Vive le Americans." It has required much diplomacy on the part of the American command ers, military and naval, to preserve and develop the international spirit among all the foreign and native ele ments. Now the central square of the port has been renamed "Place President Wilson." On the two national holi days, July 4 and 14, all combined to do honor to the American command ers and Americans, presenting them silken flags and flowers and bronze statues. The socialist political element is strong in these parts, and this too has required tact on the part of the American commanders. When a re cent buffet supper was given, it was arranged that French and Americans should be represented by all branches of their service, privates as well as officers, in the true spirit of democra cy and social equality. And so each side selected as guests 10 officers, 10 non-coin missioned officers and 10 pri vates. It was the same for the navy The English also came in, officers and men on the same basis. And thus this international gather ing of social equality was carried out, American, French and British gener als and admirals mingling familiarly with American bluejackets and sol diers and French and British tars. There was no patronizing spirit of the higher ranks over the lower, but a real getting together in a common work in which all ranks were dolng. their part. ! - The mayor of the tlty was deepir Impressed with this manifestation in ' ... u I .. U KM n ... ..n Ainarlp took the lead, and the veuerabl t French admiral, an officer of the old school, proved himself one of the most and marines. I There have been some huge prob lems to work out in making this such an effective American receiving point. At first there was no fresh water ex cept from a few uncertain springs. With hundreds of thousands of sol diers on the way here a safe and sure water supply was imperative. Soou there will be a reservoir storing fifty million gallons, capable of supplying the army, the American naval ships and transports, and the port itself, for one month if not a drop of rain falls, liesides direct mains to the army camps, there are 12-inch mains lean ing right to the seafronl. with con nection to our destroyers and ship ping in the harbor, pumping fresh, water to ships at pe a. On the water front one notices" that the big American warehouse ate covered with strange hyevoulyph ics. These it turns out are shipping addresses and crate markings, as all the lumber in this array of building Ik from crates and boxes bringing army supplies. Some of these crates carrying cars were Immense, with planking and heavy timbers. Every board and beam was saved, for lum ber is very scarce here, and even the nails were drawn and saved. And otrt of this waste lumber and nails have arisen most of these mammoutfi buildings marked from end to end with shipping addresses. Besides the immense work of re ceiving troops and supplies direct from America, this is headquarters al so for the channel ports, through which other streams of troops and supplies pour in from England when the first arrival from America Is made at Liverpool or other English ports. Thus two streams are pouring In here, one from the west, the other from tho north, both merging and moving for ward in one united stream to the fighting front. Along the sea front one gets an idea of the vastness of the work going on. On the docks and in the outer harbor tho debarking of troops and supplies goes steadily forward. Four American transports just In are former German ships, one of them a Tran3-Atlantic liner, three others freight boats. On the land side huge warehouses are ris ing, with negro, Chinese and German prisoner labor clearing great tracks of ground for the miles of buildings steadily advancing. Warehouses are bulging with war material, nnd on the open spnepR rise mountains of barbed wire nnd ordnance stores and acre on acre of cars and cranes and coal all the vstt machinery and material of warfare. It is very eideit this is no passing- construction meant for a day. for the var.tness r.nd completeness of this war machine make clear that this Is a preparation which looks far ahead and provides for every eventuality not only for the million men now here, but for the millions more still to- come. Rev. W. H. Ball's daughter, writ ing him from England, states that it Is the opinion of mot pnl thre that the war will be over by October.
