The expense of the first installation of the small heating plants was mentioned by Marshal Ring, who said: "General ordinance No. 156, of the city of Terre Haute, requires that any furnace, boiler or heating plant be installed in a standard lire-proof room, with automatic flre doors covering eacli opening. The present cost of metals land other necessary materials,.and of I labor, will make this an expensive proposition, to which can be added the cost of fuel to the purchaser of small Quantities and the necessity of keeping up fires all night during cold

The nch by their sharp attack yesterday ilontdldier, it was pointed out today i« probably held up the despatch of ie reserves. In the meantime, the i •tion of the enemy in the pocket— salient between the Marne and the he grows more dangerous. I Unfavorable weather conditions interfsred to some extent with the allied advance in this yesterday, but with the drying of the terrain and the return of more favorable* condition* for, war fighting the gradual closing fn of the mouth of the salient is expected to contftiue. Whether the Germans will be able to escape before the jaws of Gen. Foch's pincer movement closes in will soon be known,

Possibility of the Montdidier attack developing into more than a local operation designed to hold hack the German reserves was seen by many offlci&ls.

General Foch is Master*.

PARIS, July 24.—Each day s operatlons bring .further proof of the completeness with which the erenius of General Foch has turned the tables on the Germans. Instead of slowing down to a condition of what could be called stabilization, as the general public from experience expected, the allies continue to push forward in the face of determined and skillful resistance by the Germans who had had time to recover from the first shock of sur- i prise.. jj

The wettty, according fn reports, now has thirty-flve divisions In the battle xone, 400,000 men of which are in the region of the Marne. In the opinion of military observers, the violent Geffnan resistance is due more to political considerations, for It is to the immediate interests of General Ludendorff, from a military standpoint, to straighten out his lii*« without de lay.

General Foch holds the initiative on all the battle fronts and, it is believed, it will take the Germans at least two or three months to get up another fulldress offensive.

^'jCounter Attack Fails. PA Rife, July 24.r—The Germans last I night delivered a eotinter attack upon the allied lines in the vicinity of Vrigny, i five miles southwest of Rheims. The i war office ^hnounc»M 'trfday that thef attack had been repulsed.

There waa great activity ,by the tiliery during the night along the front between the Alsne and the Maxne and northeast to ward RheUne.

TJie text of t"he statenant follows: ''The night was marked by great at-- I tlllery'activity.'between, the Marne and the Aisne and in the Courton and Roi woods in the Rheims sector. "At 9 o'clock last night the Germans launched a counter attack west of Rheims near Vrigny. French troops i broke all assaults and held their post* tions intact. I "There are no events of importance to report from the rest of the front."
