ALLIES REAPING FRUIT OF RECENT VICTORIES

German Retirement At Noyon Is Resuit of Defeats On. July 18 and August 8.

PARIS, Aug. 23.—The allies are reaping tho fruits of the victories of July 18 and Aug. 8 in the present critical situation in which the German command tinds itself.

The German retirement around Noyon. It is held here, is- the logical consequence of these victories. The French and British are pressing the enemy so close that.he is obliged to throw in his best troops to save himself from di-astur. in the north and in the south the allies are dashing upon the Germans and snapping' up prisoners u.nd booty, sometimes getting into the main army defence position.

General Mangin's pressure between Aug. 18 and 20 resulted in the capture of more than 10.000 prisoners and on the. 23d he forced the enemy to beyond the Ailette. The army of General Kben Is fan such a predicament that it is believed that he is bound to make a formidable counter at tack to halt. General Man gin 'or be obliged to withdraw from the Aisne and Vesle to the OTie-min les Jarnea. If the enemv does not counter attack along the AHette,. it probably will mean that General Von Kben is in a sadder plight than is thought hero.

Tn the north. th». British ttitrd army poahtxl the Germans so dangerously Bear Bapanme that the German command had found it necessary to counter attack, In force. The loss of Bapanme In the present circumstances would amount to disaster.

The front from, liassigny to the frimme remains stationary. The expected flail of Roye ha« not yet oc-Oun-od. but there is no hurry about that, as Roye has lost its important portion, now that all the roads leading to It are under Are of the French •rtilVrry and useless to tho enemy.

FORMER RTTSS EMPEROR

ADMONISHED TO "BE STRONG*

81b Mother, the Dowager Empress, Told Czar Nicholas to Hold Out Firmly.

fi A_M5TTKRDAM,

Anjfc 25.~^-A policy

®f "unrelenting power" was urged upon the former Russian emperor by his mother, tho dowager empress of Russia, early in 1916, according to the secret diary of the emperor as published by the Isvestla of Moscow. The «lleg«d letter was dated Jan 14, 1916, shortly before the assembling of the first duma. According to a Mosoow dispatch to Rheinische Westfaelische Zeitung of Essqa, the abbreviated t«xt reads: "Dear Nicky:—We are deeply thankful for your dear letter. It breathes a new spirit. If early we had been more energetic and shown more firmness in the exercise of power much would have been avoided. I do not understand why Witte (one time Russian premier) lpst so much time. "Now to the question which greatly occupies and disquiets me—the question of the cabinet and crown domalne which these swine want to take from us, according to their various party programs. They must be impressed With the fact that no one shall dare to interfere with these personal rights of the emperor and his family. It would be a great historical mistake tB we now gave way In the slightest point. Brerjr concession were interpreted as weak Bess.

be a policy of unrelenting power." The letter, which was written partly to Russian and partly in French, closes with the repeated admonition, "he strong!"

REPLIES TO PROPAGANDA.

Chairman HuHey Discounts Efforts of German Agents. V W ASltofGTON, Aug. 23.—German propaganda designed to create dlssentkm amon^ the allies with storiee that the United States will use its enormous fie«t of transports and food ships for trade conquests after the war, was the subject of a statement today by Chairman Hurley of the shipping board. He •aid every nation lined up against au tocracy can be depended upon to detect the source of *hfifw «fgMtintn discount them. "In building har merchant fleet, America plans, first oi all, to win the War, and after that to overcome her own neglect to provide ocean trans portion loj- hear own trade," said Mr. Hurley. "To tliis-end the people of the United States are preparing to develop transportation for their own trade routes, without disturbing the trade rights of other nations. It is unthinkable that a nation fighting shoulder to shoulder with the other democracies should turn its resources after the war against them for trade conquests, the nature of which were largely instrumental In causing the war."

D0N*T WISH VICTORY HOW.

All Germ amy Wants Is Peace, Paper Say*. ZURICH, Aug. 23.—The Stuttgart Keuea Tageblatt gives currency to rumors that the German soldiers at the front are exhausted and demanding Immediate peace.

The civilian population. It is said, also is ^clamoring for the return of relatives to their homes, saying that Jt does not matter to them whether-Germany, England or France obtains the upper l".and if only the people are allowed to en.loy more liberty and tranquility.

The journal quoted stntrs that G' Inany was never so unhappy as now. When the internal front is collapsing, fshould the depression continue, it is stated, the army will lose hope and Germany will be lost.

The British offensive, so vigorously re sumed on Wednesday morning, has spread so rapidly that it is difficult to keep paoe with the development of it. What now is being witnessed is the unfolding of a brilliant tactical scheme which must be causing the deepest concern to the German high command.

The rapid advance of the British patrols along the Albert-Bapaume road toward where the old German lines dip near Tara Hill, is threatening to flank any counter movements against the British gains farther to the north.

Some British batteries advanced several times in the last two days. No longer do the limbers bring ammunition at a walk. They come irp at a gallop In a cloud of dust.

The French airplanes are as numerous as ever, and the boche machines are being harried mercilessly by bombing squadrons, which fly ahead of the infantry and attack the German columns on the march.

TAKE 1,000 PRISONERS.

British Troops Capture Important Positions South of Somme. WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Aug. 23.—(By the Associated Press.)—British troops this morning are reported to have captured Cbiegnolles and Herleville, south of the Somme river. More than a thousand prisoners Wfere taken tn this operation, which eliminates the bend in the line.

Field Marshal Haig"s forces also are reported to have taken Boyelles and Boiry Bequerelles and to be still pushing forward. They are piling up prisoners and guns.

The British have reached Oommeeourt, which Is considered to be the chief point of the German defense positions.

South of Oummec-uurt ths British this morning were attacking and pushing forward all along the line A battle has developed which seems tt be one of the greatest of the war.

The town of Meaulte, southeast of Albert, fell early in the British drive. The British troops pressing on here are crossing the Bray-Albert road.

Happy Valley, to the north of Bray, was taken by Field Marshal Haig's troops after hard fisrhting.

Three German battalion headquarters have been taken in the locality of Happy Valley. Additional guns also have fallen into the hands of the British.

The latest report from the battle line says that the British are reaching out in the direction of Tara Hill, which is a thousand yards beyond Albert.

pushed forward to the Bray Albert road. Happy valley, to the north of Bray was the scene of more hard fighting before it was taken. The place was alive with machine guns and honeycombed with dugouts. It was a hard Job for the British, but they finally accomplished it. After being well mopped up, the Germans launched a counterattack and temporarily succeeded in pushing the British out, but the position was taken Boon afterward.

There has been more desperate fighting in front of Achiet-Le-Grand, but with the British force pushing through Gomiecourt the enemy cannot hold out long in this position.

British HolJ Towns.

There also has been heavy fighting in the region of Miraumont. Beauregard and Dovecote, just in front of Miraumont. which positions yesterday, when the Germans attacked with heavy forces, changed hands five times. The British now seem to have secured final possession of this region, as other British troops are sweeping arotind in the rear. There was hard lighting and hand-to-hand engagements in Albert, the Germans resisting desperately from house and' barricades.

Here alone 730 Germans were captured and a large number of the enemy Who resisted wert killed in the mopping up process in which bombs were dropped Into cellars and dugouts. Troops which passed through the town now are reaching out in the direction of the German stronghold on Tara hill

The fresh attacks launched by the British this morning were both to the north and the aouth of the battle zenes in which the British were fighting yesterday. By thi« extension of the front the battle now Is being fought along a line nearly 30 miles long, stretching from near the Cojeul river on the north, to the region well south of Herleville on the south.

ASK WAGE INCREASE.

Miners' Representatives Meet to Formulate Pay Demands. WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—Request that an order be Issued to coal operators to abandon the payment of bonuses to miners, in favor of a flat Wage increase, wa« made to Fuel Administrator Garfield today by officials of the United Mine Workers of America. Before calling upon the fuel administrator, the representatives of the various district organizations of the United Mine Workers in conference with President Frank J. Hayes and other national officials, formulated their demands for a wage increase.

We're forced to move thousands of men's, women's and children's Shoes, Slippers. Oxfords and Pumps in order to complete the immense undertaking started some days ago by J. M. Costello & Co., store and stock regulators of Cleveland, 0., and consequently the great sale will be continued seven days more.

You all kjiow the extraordinary values that were offered at the beginning of this sale. These have spoken for themselves, having brought out the largest and fastest buying crowds that have been seen attending any footwear event in Terre Haute in a long time, but our undertaking is a mighty one and in order to accomplish our purpose, many thousand pairs must be turned into money.

To stay away from such a saving opportunity under the present conditions on the shoe market is like throwing dollars to the wind. You can't afford to lose your part in this great sacrifice, as it is not an ordinary situation, and no shoe sale announced in Terre Haute since the high cost of living has been in existence can be classed with it in sincerity and determination to sell quick.

These paralyzing prices on reliable foot wear are low enough to make wholesalers shake in their boots, let alone retailers. You haven't bought so much for so little in a long tfme and you may be sure that such genuine saving events will be few and far between while present market conditions exist.

REMEMBER! There is nothing held back. Summer and winter goods all must move, and in this limited space we can mention only a few of the remarkable bargains, but this gives you an idea of the great values that will be offered throughout the store. Thousands of pairs are laid out on the bargain tables in all the departments at prices that will turn them into money quick.
