SIX GERMAN ARMIES SHATTERED BY ALLIES

jtavoc Wrought With Enemy Forces Since July 11 Will Reach Immense Proportion!.

IWRIf!, /Tig. 12.—The allies have

damaged six German armies' since July 11 and the BrVtish are now eating1 Jljpto the seventh, with the spread of +Jie battle northward and over a front y of 70 mflejik Whether the enemy Is prepared or unprepared allied efforts ,i have had good results and the Germans have been out-generaled and outfought. The armies attacked and f* damaged in the past six weeks have been those of Generals Vop Einom,

Von Mudra, Von Roehn, Von Eben, Yon Hut.ie.r and Von Der Marwltz. 1 Th« full designs of Marshal Foch are

Vnown only to himself and perhaps one j"*- or two others, but it is believed gener'*j_* ally that his aim is not, as the Geriran? claim, to pierce their line, but to strike a succession of blows to cause the enemy Irreplaceable losses in men *t and material and t.o% force him to make i^naore or less disastrous retreats.

If that be the marshal's plan, he is executing it with skill and unvarying success. Oen. L#udendorff is being forf' 4 ced to expend his effectives out of all proportion to his resources on a given jsector of the front, after which another blow is struck home on another sector.

•4f TAILORS ELIMINATE VESTS. Conserve Cloth, But the Prices Haven't Slumped Any Yet.

VEW YORK. Aug. 22.—It won be St bitter blow to many men if the manufacturing clothiers and retailers 'decide to eliminate the waistcoat from "full lined snits for the spring of 1919, though the query may be put as to where the clothiers get off in charging $60 next spring for suit that cost

S25 only four years ago. Most men may think that if they have to pay

WO for a suit that cost only $25 in 1914 they are entitled to at least \\x **mst" with it.

The suggestion of the elimination of i this more or less useful part of a suit of clothes was made to the National

Association of Retail Clothiers by David Kirschbaum of A. B. Kirschbum & Co., well known makers of men's clothing He gave three reasons for cutting out the "vest."

To conserve cloth to bring about reduction in wholesale and comparative retail price to the consumer the substitution of an appropriate "vest" i. made of another material in localities I where a waistcoat is necessary to comfort.

URGES TEACHING REFORM.

School Head* Called Upon to Reform

Their Methods.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—Superintendents of city schools and college presidents were called upon today by P. P. Claxton, ynited States commissioner of education, to modify the curriculum and direct their teaching so as "to equip their pupils with that kind

lot

knowledge which will be most

helpful to them, whether directly engaged in the conduct of foreign business or in the intelligent exercise of their vote on matters of foreign policy."

Teaching of tha Spanish and Portuguese languages Is specifically recommended by the commissioners as a means of bringing about "true panAmericanism."

I RELIABLE METHODS OF HAIR CARF

..Hair Is by far the most' conspicuous thing about us and is probably the most easily damaged by bad or careless treatment. If we are very careful in hair washing, we will have vlr tually no hair troubles. An especially fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair, that dissolves and entirely removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt, can easily be used at trifling expense by simply dissolving a'teaspoon ful of Canthrox (which you can get at any druggist's), in a cup of hot water This makes a full enp of shampoo liquid, enough so It is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. This chemically dissolves all impurities and creates a sothing, oooling lather.' Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and ptiant, while the hair takes on the glossy richness of natural color, also a flufflness which makes it seem much heavier than it is. After Canthrox shampoo, arranging the hair is a pleas Lre.—Advertisement.

HGHT WITH DESERTERS.

Two Deputy Sheriffs Killed In Attempting Arrests. HD1NTINGTON, \V. Va.. Atfg. 52.— A t-oop of 70 reserves assisted by United States deputy marshals and posse* from Mingo and Wayne counties this morning were marching into the wastes of Mingo county where a pitched battle with a band of army deserters and Hackers is expected momentarily. In a fight with the deserters late yesterday, George IMllon, a deputy sheriff, and William Ellis, a deputized civilian, were killed.

During these final days of clearance selling you can take your choice of every remaining Summer Suit at prices which are but a small fraction of what suits of such quality will sell for another season.

MH8U8S5

A message from the Mingo county sheriff this morning said the deserters had sent to the town of Breedon for medical aid for their wounded. The runner was captured. He told the posse that the deserters comprised men from Camps Lee, Taylor and Shelby and a number of draft evaders. An unidentified member of the posses, he said, was killed in yesterday's fight.

The leader of the deserters this morning sent a message to Sheriff G. T. Blandenship, of Mingo county, v/arning him to draw off his posse and militia men as all of the deserters are armed with army rifles and "will fight to the last man before surrendering."

sistance and five crossed the ArrasBapaume railroad line. This railroad embankment was a serious obstacle to the British advance yesterday.

In the Flanders area the British are closely following the retiring Germans and have reached Neuf Berquin, village two miles within the German lines, as they stood when the last definite reports were received from this sector of the front.

On the northern side of the Tifs salient in Flanders, the Germans have been forced out of a strong position north of Bailleul. The Germans launched a heavy counter-attack against the British positions at Locre Hospice, but were repulsed. Heavy fighting is reported in this area.

Strong German counter-attacks are developing near Miraumont and Irele, which are near the southern end of the line over which the British attacked yesterday.

Momentum Not Checked.

In this region the determined resistance of the Germans seems to have slowed up the British, if it has not checked the momentum of the blow launched by General Byng. The same may be said to be the situation on the hills north of Soissons. Little progress has been reported in this sector for the last few days. Last night's German official report, however, told of the French reaching the plateau north of Juvigny, but said they were driven back. i'

Noyou, Jt would appear, is almost untenable. It would seem that a retreat by the enemy toward Chauny, farther east, is almost impossibles The railroad leading east of Noyon now is undyr direct fire from the French guns. The only remaining avenue for a Gefman retreat appears to be the northeast toward Ham. Mount Renaud, a height which stands as a sentinel to the southwest of Noyon, now appears to be outflanked and, therefore, useless as a defensive position. There have been no reports of fighting from Lassigny north to the Somme.

MENACE KEY TO SOMME-

Frehch Troops Reach Limits of Important Town. WITH THE FRENCH ARM* IN FRANCE, Aug. 22.—Fighting their way forward along the southern reaches of the Picardy battle front, irrench troops today stand before Noyon. This city has been referred to as the key to the whole German line west of the Somme.

During last night General Humbert reached the Bivette river for a long distance west of its confluence with the Oise. South of Noyon the army commanded by General Mangin holds the south bank of the Oise from Sempigny to Bretigny, a distance of more than six miles. At Sempigny they are only a little more than a mile from Noyon.

The line turns to the south at Bretigny and runs to Bourguignon, where it again curves to the east and reaches the Ailette river at "Lamincy-Basse. It then extends southward, and it is officially reported that tha French have reachod the outskirts of Pommiere. a village on the Aisne leBS than two miles west of Soissons.

German forces in the sr-ctor south of Noyon and along the Oise are said by the French official report to be 'retreating," which may account for the rapid progress of General Mangin's army. It is said, however, that contact with the enemy is being maintained by the French.

ESCAPING ALIENS SHOT.

Seven Prisoners at Fort Douglas Sent To Hospital. 8AI/P L.AKIE CITY, Utah, ^ig. Seven enemy aliens of the third war prison camp at Fort Douglas are in the post hospital with their bodies full of buckshot as the result of an attack upon a prison guard yesterday, it became known today.

All of the seven were more or less severely wounded, it is reported, but only ow Is in a serious condition.

The names of the prisoners wounded will not be made public until a detailed report of the matter is submitted to Washington.

the pressure which slowly is flattening out the Lys salient. With the fall of Lsssigny and the high ground surrounding it the German resistance in that region is said to be relaxing. From Lassigny, Gen. Humbert is in a position to outflank Roye and Noyon by advancing toward Vesle. The French also are moving toward Noyon along th® west bank of the Oise south, of which it curves to the east

Takes Marny Prisoners.

Southeast of Noyon, Gen. Mangin's troops have reached the river Oise near Pontoise, three miles from Noyon. In the center also they have pushed farther northward. Oen. Mangin is reported to have increased by several thousand the 10,000 prisoners tak^n up to Tuesday night

On his left flank, which if driven eastward would make untenable the German line north of the Vesle, enemy resistance apparently has held up progress from the movement In the new operation north of the Ancre, the British have advanced an average of three miles on a 10-mile front and have reached the Albert-Arras railroad, crossing it on the northern end of the attacking front.

On the north the British have advanced to Mercatel, which is almost on the old Hindenburg line, as it was before the Arras offensive of April, 1917. At Achiet-Lie-Petit, on the southern end, the attackers are within four miles of Bapaurae._ V

Gain at All Points.

The Germans suffered heavy losses in General Byng's surprise attack, and the number of prisoners and guns is said to be increasing hourly.

Around Merville, at the ape* of the Lys salient, the British line has been pressed more to the east. On the northern flank of the salient the British gained some ground near Locre and took 138 prisoners. "Nibbling" on a large scale might describe Marshal Foch's tactics most fittingly. By successful and successive bites into the German positions here and there, he is steadily undermining the entire defensive structure. He has forced the Germans to move their guns far to the rear to prevent their capture/and to attempt to hold the first lines with machine guns and as small a numbej* of troops as possible.

Advance Fiv» Miles.

The enemy system of defense, however, has not prevented the allies from going through it for several miles— five miles have been gained between the Oise and the Aisne in four days— and to threaten the Important bases, one of -which—Lassigny—already has fallen.

that we will play the Fox features, including 'Salome,' at advanced prices of course, and all the Theda Bara and "William Farnum pictures. I have had the Fox service contracted for since last March. In a few days I will be in a position to announce the rest of Our program. **The orchestra wiQ, of course, be a feature. P. J. Breinig will be the leader, and he will be equally at home playing for pictures or vaudeville acts. We will have the pick of the programs presented at our Ft. Wayne theatre and our two Richmond, Ind., theatre. The prices of admission will vary according to the merit and expense of the program presented. For instance, we would probably make the seats for a picture like Cleopatra' 25 and 35 cents. We played this picture in Ft. Wayne to capacity audiences for nine days at 35 cents high."

Exceed* Plarvned Cost.

Although the original estimate called for an outlay of $70,750 for the building proper the actual cost was $94,000. In addition $I!0,000 has been spent on equipment. C.^J. Wacker, of Indianapolis, who was awarded the contract for the building of the theatre, has favored Terre Haut« merchants and mechanics wherever possible in accordance with an agreement with President Gruenburg and General Manager Brentlinnger who were desirous of making the house a distinctly Terre Haute institution as far as possible.

Messrs. Scott and Hart, who were awarded the contract to furnish chairs, drapery, linoleums and carpets, sublet the contract for the drapery to Mandel Brothers, of Chicago, partly because this firm, which had for opposition bidders Carson, Scott, Pirie A Co., of Chicago, and a St Louis firm, agreed to deliver the foods immediately.

There was a difference between $6,100 and $12,450 between the highest and lowest bid on part of the fixtures.

The new theatre was built under the watchful eyes of Superintendent Charles Iavidson representing C. J. Wacker and O. A. Peterson representing the Terre Haute Theatres company. It was the business of these gentlemen to see that every bit of material used in the construction of the building w»a up to the standard.

Is Substantial Structure. The aim of the builders was to erect a substantial building. &' quietly elegant structure with no "ginsrerbfead" in its make up. no cheap filagree stuff in the way of decorations or ornamentation either inside or outside the theatre. There are rooms upstairs for offices and for the comfort of patrons and employees. There's a ladies' rest room and a erentlcmen's smoking room.

Local Men Fare Well.
