With the British army in France, Sept. 24. (By the Associated Press) Another Anglo-French assault was delivered against the German defenses,! before St. Quentin -'today, Reports received up to 2 o'clock this afternoon indicated that the allied attack Was meeting with great success. On the right the French appeared to have possession of St. "Quentin, a strong position known as Round Hill to the west of the threatened city, and the hamlet of Franoilly-Selency, while to the north the .British had seized the high ground west of Fayet and cleared the woods east of Fresnoy of the enemy and had stormed their way through Pontruet. This place lies only three.-quarters of a mile from the bend in .the St. Quentin canal, which forms a vital part of the Hindenburg bulwarks. It was around Pontruet that the British captured many hundred of prisoners. Fighting was proceeding this after noon alorfg the rideg between Pon truet and Gricourt. w s s "MOTHER'S MY ROSARY (From IBurtiSfJ&aynas to Sis Mother) In an old dugout Tbenind tn?e lines, Where be -shells . rwere whittling round, .

The King of Bel gium is one of the big men of earth, one of the men to attract attention if Salisbury Is to Have the Sparks and hold the admiration of all. King Albert is a big man, a courageous man, a heroic spirit. There is a match for King Albert in Marie, Queen of Rumania, indeed a queenly woman, a woman among wsmen, a heroic spirit to rank with the biggest and best of the grandest. She, too, is democratic, and loves her people and her native land. She it was who with a heroism hard to match stood out against the German betrayal and to this day is encour aging and inspiring her people in the chirk hours of Roumanians history. Of her the New York Herald recently said: "Marie of Roumania is a Queen among women and a woman among queens Although married to a Ho henzollern prince, she abhors kaiser ism and Prussianism and all that they stand for. It was due to her pertin acity that her husband consented to Roumania entering the war on the side of the Entente, and when her country was so basely betrayed by Russia and was forced into an igno minious .peace it was she who sought by entreaty and denunciation to pTe vnt her husband his ministers from ratifying a treaty only a few degrees less base than that of Brest-Litovsk. Her first born son has the spirit of his mother, and it may, be believed at her instigation he forced his way into the Council of State which was con sidelrijig the treaty imposed by Ger many and denounced it. "Since then the King and Queen of Roumania have left the temporary capital of Jassy and have retired to a small country estate in order to keep the Germans Who infest the country at a distance.
