attacks in the midst of heavy attacks by the enemy. In 1914, the German fr#nt to'Franee wa« in the form of a gigantic pocket, surprisingly similar in shape to the present Aisne-Marne pocket, though much larger. In 1914, the beginning of the French counter attack was the blow on Von Kluck's right flank, delivered by the famous "Taxicab army" from Paris, which entered the engagement under its own impetus aad without artillery preparation.

So this week the beginning of.General Foch's counter attack was the assault delivered by the Americans and French without artillery preparation against the German right flank. As soon as Von Kluck's flank showed demoralization in 1914, General Foch struck heavily from the south of the Marne and forced the Germans northward. Similarly in this week's battle, the enemy was struck i» the same manner.

Greatest In History.

PARIS, July 20.—(6:00 p. m.V-One of the greatest battles of all time is being fought along practically the whole Soissons-Rheims salient, with the prospects for allied success growing hourly. Vr--

While the French and Americans are battling grimly between Soissons and Chateau-Thierry, pressing forward foot by foot despite the Increasing masses of the enemy, Franco-American forces are striking south of the Marne from Fossoy to Oeuily, and are compelling the Germans to retreat northward across the river At the same time, French and Italian troops are thrusting between the Marne and Rhelms and already have retaken two villages. East of Rhelms, allied troops have practically restored their original lines.

The situation south of the Mfffne 1s rapidly assuming the proportions of a German disaster, according to the latest reports: The retreat across the river can be accomplished only under the most disastrous conditions, as was proven by the enemy retirement following the Americans' success on a much smaller front early in the waek. At that time thousands of Boches were caughfin a trap ami captured or slain, while great ^numbers were drowned. There is every Indication that this coup may repeated on a larger scale.

Is Gigantic Slaughter.

The battle between the Lisne and the Marne is one of gigantic slaughter. The terrible losses suffered by the enemy are emphasized by the recklessness with which the high command is tossing in its reserves the reserves that were to take Paris and end the war.

Battle front dispatches state that more than 100.000 reinforcements have thus been hurled into the line as fodder for allied cannon. And in the face of all these thousands and tens of thousands, the French and Americans are driving on. They are reported clinging to the outskirts of the suburbs of Soissons, less than two kilometers, (a mile and a quarter) from the city itself.

NeulUy-Stfront has fallen and the important railway and highway center of Oulchy-Le-Chateau is endangered, with its almost absolute control of the net work of communication lines that feed the Chateau-Thierry pocket—and provide the only me^tij Qt,„£££$§« ,f?r the German armies. ^The allies apparently have within their grasp one of the jreajly, big victories of the war.

SAN DIEGO WAS SOI BY GERMAN U-BOAT

TVTETO* YORK, July 20.—That the cruiser San Diego was sunk by a tor/pedo fired by a submadlne that ttoro submarines were seen, and that one of the attacking U-boats probably was hit by a six-inch shell from one of the cruiser's guns was the version tonight of the naval disaster off Fire island insisted upon tonight by numerous survivors landed at Hoboken today.

The sailors put no faith In tne mine theory of the disaster, declaring that mines do not strike ships squarely on the side, and agreeing with their captain and with the navy department that a submarine sent the San Diego to the bottom. Several of the sailors said the top of the U-boat was seen on the port side of the San Diego, just after the torpedo was fired, and that less than a minute later the back of another undersea boat was seen rising on the starboaxd side, no more than 500 feet away. ..

FEDERAL RAID UNCOVERS BIG DOPE SUPPLY

in the vice district and the raid was on.' Resorts ww# broken Into, ipoms entered, furnishings thrown aside, walls searched for secret hiding places ,and while this was going on others of the squad were gathering in the first of the suspects.

It was «he most tweeplttf mid In the history of Terre Haute. Worked Six Week* Ago.

Several weeks ago report was made to the secret service department thit wholesale peddling of dope was being conducted in Terr# Haute, 'and just six weeks ago a squad of operators quietly dropped from a Chicago train and started

investigation. They

were intercepted in their worlc by some one with "inside" information anc: the sale of dope was dropped and all supplies were hurriedly disposed of. After learning that their presence in the city was known, they departed, and once more the peddlers, thinking they wen safe, opened their unrestricted sale, One man, believed to be the head of the thrust, who made frequent trips to St Louis and returned with mysterious packages, was watched for six weeks, and it waa not until Saturday night that correct information was received that he would arrive early in the evening with another supply. All of the time for the past six weeks a secret service man was but a few feet away from him.

Two more secret servlee' meti rekched the city, Thursday, with two automobile trucks placarded with tobacco signs and made a canvass of the entire tenderloin district, pretending to sell tobacco, but In reality were engaged in securing damaging evidence against certain parties.

Local Men Assist In Raid. Several local men were called by telephone, Saturday evening, and asked to be at the postoffice at 6:3® o'clock. They were not told for what purpose, but merely were requested to be there if they wanted to perform a patriotic service. Immediately at 8:30, a dozen automobiles filled with secret service men and local detectives and policemen, darted from the rear of the postoffice and within two minutes were breaking into dives In the redllght district.

The streets were agog. People ran from place to place as th® dives were ransacked from top to bottom. Prisoners were rushed to the waiting automobiles and hurried to U." S. Commissioner Haldol's office at Fifth and Wabaah.

A motley crowct gathered, Etifi speculation was rife for a few minutes. Upon being taken to the commissioner's office. the "dope" users were hurriedly questioned by the sleuths, and while nothing was made public it is rutnored that some very •tartling disclosures were made.

Lewis McMillan and Jack Denison, two well known deputy United States marshals, assisted by Commissioner Randel and Earl Houck, examined the suspects and released those found to be mere users of narcotics, and held such as appeared to have something to do with the wholesale distributing of drugs. The examination only begun at midnight and it was thought it would not be over until late Sunday morning,,.

Many Rumors Afloat.

It was at first rumored on the streets that the raid was being made upon the offices of several physicians •who were suspected of issuing illegal prescriptions. Later it was said that several drag stores were to be searched. None of these placas were ^molested by the secret service men.

It is the understanding here that a big firm In St. Louis is backing the sale of "dope" -here, and that a ''go-be-tween" carries. the stuff into the city and then disposes of it to the smaller dealers, who in turn peddle it to the actual "users.

In the event of any such disclosures being made, according to Deputy Marshal McMillan, the bigger guns will be in Jail by morning", and the lesser tools will be detained here.

Local Officers Take Part. poMce Sergeant Thomas Barry, Detectives Armstrong, Fedtterson, Burk, McMillan, Conover, Baker and Cline, and Patrolmen Casey, Donham, Wpeks, Kennett and Schumard assisted the secret service men In the raid, and a large number of the prisoners were taken to police headquarters after being arrested.,

Mrs. O'Donnell and Mrs. Zimmerman, police and court matrons, assisted in searohing the women prisoners and were kept busy until midnight. Startling disclosures are expected some time early Sunday morning.

would not indicate that she had intended any such thing. She was very quiet, went out with very few young men in Te^re Haute, and was not oi^t a great d^al with her girl friends. She loved her work as a stenographer for the Rolland block coal and clay company. She wouldn't be laX* ai.it one minute for anything.* "We have communicated with all the young men who have ever been friends of hers and they all express great surprise. We know they have not been implicated. We have gone through all her letters left in her room and there is not a thing that would indicate that she had been' enticed away. She frequently dreamed that she had been kidnaped. She had dreams like that over home, even before she came here to go to school."

May Furniah CluaJ

The sister tells the following story, in which the detectives, however, have no faith as to its leading to the u»* earthing of the girl's whereabouts: *We have an older sister who several years ago worked in the north part of the state in a small town. She met a man who worked on a farm nearby they kept company, and later became engaged. A brother of the man wrote this sister, saying that the man was a white slaver, and advised my sister to drop him. She did so, and he became very indignant at her, telling her that if he didn't get h«r he would get Verla. Twice last winter while Verla was in school she received long distance telephone calls from him asking her for

CLOSING OUT SALE OF

At ten minutes of nine, after Verla had packed her handbag very scantily, putting in an extra white sKirt with the statement that "the other girls might wear white skirts and she wouldl want one, too," she started, it is thought at the Y. W. for the Union station. Some of the girls suggested that they walk with her and she said, "Oh, it isn't dark yet I'm not afraid." There was no train leaving around the hour of nine at the Union station, and there is no trac^as to whether the exIpected "party" intended dtfyia* by the station In an automobile.

The girl's mother is prostrated over her daughter's disappearance. The sister, who is here, believes that if her sister were not kept a prisoner somewhere, she would write to her mother.

Descriptive circulars of the girl werei sent to a number of cities lata Saturday.
