Field Marshal Haig reported today.

taken by British troops in a patrol
encounter.
PAIUS. Xov. 3.
France won a great and bliodless victory
today In a sweeping advance following a
German retirement from all of the Chemln
des Dames line between the Olse and Alsne
Canal on the west and Corbeny on the
east. Over this section today's ofllclal re
port recorded a French advance to the All
Utte River.
The advancing French found the Germans
In their "strategic retreat" had blown up
all bridges across this waterway.
First announcement of the German with
drawal In the Alsne sector was made In
last night's official statement which was
delayed far beyond the usual hour of Issue.
This night statement mentioned a French
advance over a front of twenty kilometers
' to a depth of one kilometer and occupation
of Courtecon, Cerny, Allies and Chevrenux.
Today's War OHlce report, fixing the ad
vanced French line at the Alllette Indicated
a further step forward.
Occupation of Courtecon, Cerny, Allies
and Chevreux In a French advance over a
frontage of thirteen miles was announced
by the War Ofllce.
"Owing to pressure by the French In
fantry and crushing effect of the French
artillery, the Germans have evacuated the
Chemln des Dames," the statement said.
"The French have advanced over a front
ef twenty kilometers (thirteen miles) and
to a depth of one kilometer (two-thirds of
a milej?'
Chevreux. Courtecon, Cerny and Alllci,
now occupied bv the French, are all well
beyond the Chemln des Dames and the
ridge on the way to Lnon. The cities form
a chain approximately eight miles due
outh of Laon and from Crevreux, on the
west, to Allies, on the ea'sl, the total front
they represent Is about nine miles.
Some of the most Intenese fighting of the
war has centered about Cerrjy and Allies.
The French took the line of the Chemln des
Darnes here after repeated assaults and
hardly a week passed from that time until
General Petaln's victorious assault far to
the west ten days ago that the Germans
did not strle by powerful attacks to ie
Capture It.
The four cities now held by the French
aie on the northern down slope of'the ridge
alonr the top of which runs the Chemln
den Dames. From the arc which they rep
resent out of Laon the way Is generally
rolling, as opposed to the rather sharp
and broken country on the southern slope
of the ('hemln des Dames Ridge. The
terrain, therefore, greatly favors the French
adance toward Laon,
I.OXDO.V, Nov. 3.
Withdrawal of German forces fro,m the
high ground of the Chemln des Dames,
officially announced In Berlin, may forecast
another general "strategic retreat" on the
western front.
. The full extent of the German with
drawal In the Alsne sector was not appar
ent today. The operation, however, was
hailed by observers here as a bloodless
victory by General retain, which may provo
to be of tremendous Import,
The west battle front today, with the
various dents made therein by the recent
British and French offensives In Flanders
and the Alsne sector, curves nnd twists
more than It has for a year. Such a curv
ing, twisting front requires many more men
than a straight line. It would not be sur
prising, therefore. In view of Germany's
need for men, that her high command
should stage a "strategic retreat" all along
the line from the sea to Lnon, in an effort
to shorten the front and save men.,
RESULTS IN FLANDERS
GRATIFY WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.
The utmost satisfaction with results al
ready attained by the Anglo-French drive
In Flanders, as well as the general situa
tion. Is expresied by the French high com
mission tn an ofllclal analysis of the situa
tion today. Thft statement, made public
U.rough the committee on public Informa
tion, was as follows:
"Begun on the 7th day of June by the
brilliant success of the F.ngltsh at Messlnes,
the battle cf Flanders, which we might call
the new battle of Ypres. Is now Hearing the

"As In the battle of Ypres In I9H. there
has been realized close Anglo-French co
operation. Though the largest share of
the effort and of the success accrues to the

LONDON, Nov. 3.
Increasing pressure on the Italian left
wing, apparently foreshadowing nn enemy
attempt at envelopment of the Iallah posl
tlons on the Tagliamento, was reported In
today's ofllclal statement.
"Attempts of the enemy to reach the right
bank were, however, repulsed," the War
Office asserted.
With forces on both sides arraved and
Italians and Germans both masking re
serves, artillery and munitions for the Im
pending fight, the battle of the Tagliamento
has apparently started In local attacks,
patrol skirmishes. Intermittent shelling and
Jockeying for strategic advantage. It may
be days before the full force Is thrown Into
struggle by either side.
One dispatch from the front says that
the Italian and Allied commands are pre
paring for a counter-offensive from tho
Tagliamento. This dispatch adds that Ca
dorna's army u now firmly on lis feel that
the broken detachments have been reor
ganized nnd that all Is ready for the great
battle.
Experts here believe the German com
mand will either try a quick, powerful
blow at the Tagliamento line In an attempt
to force a breach which would lesult Im
mediately In a greit battle or else they will
delay while perfecting their communica
tions. If the latter plan Is followed experts here
predicted the Italians would be given time
in which to reorganize completely and pos
sibly to re-fCTin with aid from the Allies.
In the meantime word was received liere
today from Swiss sources indicating that
the Germans are transporting great num
bers of men and guns to the Trentlno ap
parently with the Idea ot striking on this
front in an attempt to break through and
outflank General Cadorna's line on the Tag.
llamento.
From the easternmost point ot the Tren
tlno battle lines of today to behind the Tag
liamento Is a scant seenty miles. A drive
from this direction would be a logical de
velopment of Gcneru) von .Mackensen's cam
paign of advance by flanking operations
Itoine dispatches today emphasized the
orderly arrangement of General Cadorna's
rescued army behind the Tagliamento nnd
the high morale among his forces. Com
plete confidence was expressed In the
strength of this line to repel every assault
oi ine iiivauers.
The Italian fortifications extend along the
west bank of the Tagliamento Itlver from
tile Fella valley to the Adriatic, with only
the swollen stream separa: them from
the enemy.
CADOP.NA FOILS FOE'S PLAN
Military authorities aro warm In their
iJtuiBu ui mo excepuonaiiy clever retreat
by Cadorna. There can be little doubt now
of the Utter failure of the Austro-Germnn
Plan to cut tho Italian forces In two It Is
fully believed here that Cadorna has suc
ceeded in so placing his troops that he will
be able successfully- to combat attacks from
two sources.
Coming down through the Carnlo Alps
from the north, the Von Bulow forces are
almost certain o strike at the bend of th-i
Tagliamento Itlver. From the south and
on a line almost due west nf Udlne the
Mackensen forces are ready, to strike
Dispatches received here say that enemy
patrols have advanced to the bank of the
river, but were repulsed by machine gun
lire. Desultory firing also was reported
from the enemy forces stationed at the
northern bend of the river, but according
to today's dispatches "there was' no event
of Importance."
Home dispatches today laid stress on the
heroic sacrifices which the overwhelmed
Italian troops made to aid In extricating
larger bodies of their comrades. General
Gonza suffered eleven wounds. All of his
staff was killed or wounded, and only three
of his personal escort of fifty escaped
General Itadagllos and three of his regi
ments were utterly wiped out.

The fact that Thomas Nelson Page, the

Leader's Activities
IN WASHINGTON TUESDAY
BOSTON, Xov. 3.
The Hoston Symphony Orchestra will
play "The Star Spangled Uanner" in
all its concerts in the future, it was
announced by the management here.
From the best information here to
day it is understood that Major II. L.
Higginson has not yet accepted the
resignation of Director Dr. Karl Muck.
The statement that the national an
them will be included in future con
certs of the orchestra would seem to
indicate there is no intention to dis
band the famous organization.
Hu Staff Corrtstondrnt
WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.
The Department of Justlco Is making a
hurried but thorough investigation ot the
activities of Dr. Carl Muck, conductor of the
Uoston Symphony Orchestra, who refused to
permit the orchestra to play the "Star
Spangled Banner' In Providence, It. I.,
lucsday night, when the request was made.
If Its secret agents arc able 'o cubstantlate
a few of the many charges of pro-German
actlvltv that have been made against him
he ma'v be Interned Immediately for the
duration cf the wnr or suffer a worse fate.
This fact was admitted by nigh officials of
the department today.
Washington musical circles are all in a
flutter today because Dr. Muck, whose
resignation tendered yesterday In Boston
hasn't been accepted, Is scheduled to con
duct a concert of the orchestra nt the Na
tional Theatre here next Tuesday night.
Several proininent and patriotic American
citizens hae begun to devise some means
of preventing Muck from giving hla con
cert. They will go further than this, they
say, and do whatever possible to put Muck
behind the jail bars if tney are unable
to prevent his coming to Washington.
The discussion among the music lovers
centered about thl question: Should a
German citizen, as Doctor Muck Is. be
glyen support In the National Capital; or
should the music-lovers think only of the
artistic side cf the matter and give their
support to the famous orchestra?
The house has been sold out for the con
cert next Tuesday, according to Mrs. Katie
Wilson Greene, who for eleven years has
had charge of the management of the Bos
ton Symphony Orchestra In Washington.
She said that only three persons, so far as
she knew, had not taken their season
tickets again this year, because Doctor
Muck the leader. Is a German.
"There Isn't a well-known orchestra In
the country or an opera company which
has not Germans In Its ranks," said Mrs.
Greene.
But a considerable number of the sub
scribers to the orchestra seats differ from
Mrs. Greene's views and are strong In their
condemnation of Muck, and declare they
will stay away If he comes here.
Lieutenant William 11. Santelmann,
leader of the Marine Band, which plays at

"Treason" and "liar" were the most popu

to Turkey, joined in the verbal bombard
ment of "Morris Hlllquit. Socialist, whose
backers assert he will be the winner in the
four-cornered race. Referring to Hlllqult's
refusal to buy Liberty Bonds. Morgenthau
charged that any candidate who took such
an attitude was open to suspicion. Oscar
C. Straus, alio a former Ambassador to
Turkey, declared that Hlllqult's refusal to
buy bonds was treasonable,
Judge John F. Hylan, Democratic candi
date, was out today with charges that
Mayor Mitchel was trying to deceive the
people, with forged letterheads and other
documents bearing Hylan's name as a mem
ber of various pro-German organizations.
Mayor Mitchel replied, that Hylan's state
ments were "as false as his loyalty to the
murdered Americans on the Lusltanla, as
false as his present assumed-loyalty to the
American soldiers In the trenches."
There was a near riot at Carnegie Hall

WATER COLORISTS
SCORE AT EXHIBIT
Artistic Display to Open To
morrow at Academy of
the Fine Arts
MORE THAN 1000 PICTURES
in spite of the demoralization of war,
the fifteenth annual exhibition of water
colors and tho sixteenth annual exhibition
of miniatures, which will open at the Acad
emy of the Flno Arts tomorrow afternoon
at 1 o'clock, bids fair to be the most suc
cessful from an artistic standpoint ever
held at the Academy. Nearly a thousand
pictures are now In place for the exhibition,
the addition of the collection of painting
from the summer school of the Pennsyl
vania Academy of the Fine Arts at Chester
Spilngs, which are being exhibited for the
first time, bringing the total well over
that number.
The work of some of the most talented
artists In the country Is Included In the
exhibition, and the subjects nre such as to
challenge the unqualified ndmlratlon of
art lovers Philadelphia artists maintain
the high standing In this that they have
had In other exhibitions In the paft, and
some of the best work In the collection Is
from their brushes.
One of the most ambitious collections In
the exhibition and one which reflect In a
telling manner the war atmosphere that
pervades nil things nt the -present time Is
that of the drawings of Joseph Pennell,
depleting the herculean task ot a nation
preparing for battle. One who Imagines
that the purely mechanical side of war
has not an artistic side has only to study
the masterful manner In which Pennell has
set forth the work being done In muni
tions plants In America nnd Kngland nnd
the work of constructing battleships nnd
airplanes. The collection comprises 108
pictures, and placed as It Is In one of the
most conspicuous galleries of the Academy,
It Is sure to attract the close attention of
the thousands of visitors to the exhibition.
The north corridor Is given over to the
work of Violet Oakley, who has on display
Komt- of the best work that she has ever
shown In Philadelphia. Perhaps tho most
elaborate effort In this collection Is the
model of the wall ot tho Senate chamber
of the State Capitol nt Harrlsburg, with
compositions In color of ,the five panels
comprising the portions of the mural paint
ings already In place. Thornton Oakley,
also. Is repiesented by a number of char
coal sketches of exceeding merit.
Exceptionally pleasing, also, Is the work
of N. C. Wyetli. which Is shown In the noith
transept. Three of thes sketches are Illus
trations for tho story nf Hoblu Hood, and
the romantic atmosphere of the subject Is
faithfully translated by the artist.
And, of course, there are the futurists
and the modernists. Members of this school
have protested their entire sincerity, and
their critics have leveled endless ridicule
at them, nnd ery nearly everything has
been said on the subject that can be said.
Two sketches, one by Alexander Robinson
nnd the other by Lyman Snyen. stand out
as the most striking examples of this school
In the exhibition. Tho unartlstlc Philistine
would probably entitle the former "Lady
with green polkadots on her face," and the
latter, "Jock ot Diamonds that has been hit
with a brick." The last named appears on
the catalog as "Childhood."
It Is obviously impossible to give more
than a scant outline of the more conspicu
ous subjects In a story of this sort. The
exhibition Is a most excellent one, and Is
the more remarknble on account or the
difficulties under which It Is being given.
It will undoubtedly rvcclve the approval of
all art lovers who visit -the Academy to
look at It. Thero will be a private Mew
for the benefit of nrt critics tonight and
the exhibition will be thrown open to the
public tomorrow afternoon.

COLD WILL .HOLD GERMANS
PETROGRAD, r. 3.
Germany is preparing for large ep
erations on land and in the Gulf e.
Bothnia, according to reports received
by the Soviet today. These asserted
that further engagements may be ex
pected in the Riga sector.
WASHINGTON, Nov. J.
Itussla's decision to place the war burden
on her Allies and temporarily cease major
military operations brought an optimistic
reaction from this Government today.
It can be stnted as the Administration's
firm belief that Itussla, after a winter de
voted to reorganizing, unifying and stabil
izing her Government nnd military ma
chinery, will resume her place In active
military operations with greater effective
ness than at any tlmfe since the war began.
It has been known to the allied Powers
for some time that Itussla must soon con
centrate her strength on cultivating the
fruits of her revolution, For months she
has done no major fighting, due to disor
ganization and military confusion.
Officials here regard It remarkable that
tho Ilusslan military system Is not much
worse because of her Internal chaos.
It Is the Administration's belief that Itus
sla Is too vast and powerful to become ex
hausted by three years of war.
