fighting against three British dhrisloni. An officer from one of these enemy divisions which was the_ second guards reserve said, however, that his division had i.e.en in the fighting for more than a week, and that its effectives would number less than liOOO men. In his battalion only himself and 24 of his men had survived, he declared. He added that the German losses had been heavier than aRy he bad previously suffered.

British Reach Beugny,

In their push northeastward along the Bapaume-Cambra* road, the British have reached Beugny. (Unofficial advices from Txndon this morning reported the British in today's advance to,have pushed some three and a half miles beyond this point.)

The town, of Vitlers-Au-FlO, south Of Bapaum^ was British hands early last evening, after severe fighting. After taking Saillv-Saillisel, the British pushed on across the BapaumeFeronne road, and in the fighting just to the north were weil on their way toward Rocquigny. The Germans were in heavy force in the region of N'oreuil, and hard lighting was in progress there.

There Is every slgJl that the «nemy Is hurrying his retirement on thi« part of the British front to get behind what is left of his defensive line. This new line of defense he expected Hl take up behind the Canal Du Nord is not considered very strong, and is too near Douai and Cambral to be comfortable to the enemy.

VITAL POSITIONS FALL,

Germans Lose Vital Strongholds Before British Advances.* "WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Kept. 3.—Strongholds vital to the German defenses in northern France, which they sought to hold with large reserve forces, rushed forward at the last moment, have fallen before the rapidly advancing ljjritish forces. Driving through the DrocourtQueant line, English and Canadian troops are pushing the Germans before them in the greatest battle of the present offensive and one of the most important contests of the. war.

The Rnglish have driven a wedge into the German line3 with the taking of Eterpigny and strongly fortified enemy positions northeast of that town. The L/onai plains spread out before the invaders with no natural defense to overcome such as have been surmounted in reaching their present line. In the same sector to the south English and Scotch troops are advancing wit^ Queant as their immediate goal, capturing many towns and villages including Noreuil.

Thousands of prisoners passing to the rear testify to the superiority of the British attack the various and number of unifs represented by them indicate the haste with which the Germans rushed reinforcements to the battle in an effort to stave off the disaster of a completely broken line in the defenses protecting ,th9 citlto of

EXPLAINS GERMAN SACRIFICES.

Righting It Localize*! From thi Somme To Soi^sons. WITH THF2 FRENCtt ARM? IN FRANCE. Sept. 3.—(By the Associated Press.)—Localization in the activity of the infamry in the past two days has given the appearance of the relinquishment of the pressure on the flying German lines from the Somme to Solssons. The altered face of the battle is due to changes in the conditions of the ground and tactics.

The fighting has been confined to comparatively short sectors north of Soissons^ north of Noyon and Nesle, where engagements of the utmost importance have been in progress in which the allies have gained advantages that explain the enormous sacrifices the Germans made to hold them oft at those points.

North of Roissons General Mangtn's force after three days and furious combats in which positions were taken and retaken several times, have pushed forward on the plateau tt\at overlooks the valley of the Allette, behind Chemln-Des-Dames, where the citadel of Jjanon, one of the stoutest pillars in the German secondary line of defense, plainly may be seen.

Tha French and Americans met around Juvigny the elite of the German army, grenadiers of the Prussian guard, picked storming battalions and hardy mountain infantrymen. They defeated them decisively, taking an enormous death roll from their ranks arid sending a goodly number of captives to the rear. The Associated Press correspondent saw a column of the*se prisoners filing back 'over the plateau to the west, where white wood crosses over fresh graves marked th® scene at other recent defeats.

GERMAN BEST USED UP.

Battle North of Soissons Plays Havoc With Foe Armies. WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN THE FLEL.D, Sept. 3.^-(By the Aasf^ ciated press.)—The battle for th^ plateau, north of Soissons, has used up some of the best divisions remaining in the German army. Yesterday's lighting between Crecy-Au-Mont and Leuilly and between Juvigny and Terny was particularly severe.

This was evidenced this morning, by the field being strewn with the dead of the Prussian guards. They are piled X)ne on top of the other In some trenches, and long lines of them show where the guards counter-attacked five times in vain effort to stem the tide of battle, which was running relentlessly against them.

Ea*h one of these efforts added largely to the losses of the Prussians in wounded as well as in dead, while after each rush a lot more of unwounded prisoners remained In the hands of the French, tjlore than 1,200 prisoners were sent to the rear.

Both* tanks and air squadrons contributed to the rout of the guardp. Aviators dying low over the field met the attacking force with a galling machine gun fire, and pursued the shatered lines as they retired befopo the unflinching French troops.

Tanks drove into the enemyfs lines, machine gunning and

On the French section of the long battle line, the Germans are in retirement northeast of Soissons. The entire Soissons plateau is now in the hands of the Franco-American troops, under command of General Mangin. The French are advancing in the direction above Vauxaillon, where late reports stated that the Germans were burning ammunition dumps prenaratory to a further retirement, prt aj4U} to Chemin-Des-Dames.

As the latter place is also menaced by the French advance toward \auxaillon, m. «till further retreat by the Germans is anticipated. The advance north of Soissons, which started six days ago. has been one of the most stubborn battles in which American forces have yet been engaged.

WASHINGTON, Sept '3.—The fuel administration yesterday officially announced a plan for stabilizing the price of petroleum maximum premiums above the basic prices for oil are to be established, which.

Ninety persons were arrest## on suspicion, and nine fugitives were arrested as wanted in other cities. Three fugitive!- wanted here were arrested in other oities and returned. Thirty-six arrests for Intoxication were made, which is almost equal to the number arrested during the palmy days or the saloons and redlight district. Two bootleggers were taken into custody, and both convicted when arraigned in City Court.

Ten persons were arrestod on charges of grand larceny and 25 felt th*- sting of the law on charges of petit larceny Two burglars were arrested and 41 persons were hauled in for investigation.

Three thousand nine hundred and ef*hty-two dollars and sixty cents worth of property w%p reported stolen during the month, and Jl.0M.50 worth reported recovered. The patrol wagon made 263 runs during the month to bring in prisoners.

T'ae gi-eateat increase -In in the amount of stolen property which reached a larger figure than at any time during the advent of the new administration. A large part of the property reported stolen grew out of the theft of many automobiles which have not been recovered. During the month eighteen automobiles were reported stolen, and eight of them have never been recovered. The number of drunks arrested is almost as large as the xiumber made during the reign of the saloona and totals the same amount as were taken in January. The falling off of the arrest of vagrants is quiet noticable. and the number of sentences inflicted in City Court by Judge Paul R. Shafer decreases to a large extent for the month.
