DRIVE'S FAILURE
;; APPEARS CERTAIN
Allies Press Advantage as
German Offensive Grows
Weaker
to 'AIR MASTERY REGAINED
By WALTER DUR WTY
Special Cable to Eienmg Public Ledger
Covurioht. I9t bv cu 1 ork Tt in to
With the Frenrli Armies, Tune 4
The change of direction of the Gei ,
man drive from south to west ns the
enemy attempted to exploit his ad
"ance on the flank of the main Allied
forces. Is u logical de elopment of the j
original maneuer which ii ron i
tlnued until the Mil no was toiihed in
order that the river might form ti
solid barrier on what has now become
the German left flank as he faces
Westvv ard.
Fighting has continued depentelv
nn the whole front from north of
Vlllers-Cotteiets Wood to the plate iu
aboo Chateau-Thierrv , while furthei
north from the region of Soissons to
th Oise before Noyon the cnemv
maintained continuous pressure.
As the French sa "the boche h is
exposed his game " Ills plan of battle
Is evident and the crisis of the opera
tlon Is leached ,
Everjvvheie the Germans bae been I
checked with appalling losses for now ,
the boche must uttack straightforward
against the forces whose strength is
hourly growing to be nearei an eiiual- i
Jly. The time has passed for 'urther
gains by infiltration which the Cler
man numerical superroritv permitted
before.
Tew Frontal Attacks
There have been hardly anj frontal ,
attacks hitherto Evr ad nice has I
been made bv the turning movement i
Now the enemv has to pu for what
he has gained
Forest of Vlllers-Cottcres Is the chief
bastion of the Allied lines and against
its eastern border the German waves
are breaking In vain In the last J
month vour correspondent his often
traversed Its deep vallejs and dtn-e I
coverts, where the trees and undei
growths are so thick that the sun
light hardly filteis through
There Is small chance for the boche
"sauEages" to Identlfv batter positions
or for the prjlng airplanes to distin
guish the movement of guns oi troops
It Is an Ideal sc-een for opera tion and
Its situation on the Herman (link in
creases Its valued a hundredfold
The enemy realizes tirs to the full
and for forty-eight hours he has been
trying In vain to penetrate forest re
cesses along the vallevs le-uNng from the
villages on the eastern border. Troesnes
and Corey especially, from each of vvhh h
runs a railroad to Vlllcrs-Cotterets towji '
have been literally drenched in blood
Taken and retaken several times the
finally remained In the hands of the
French. Foiled In this direction the
enemy tried to turn the obstacle bv an
advance further south between Torcy
and Pourcsches, on the road to flnteau
Thlerry, where th heivlest flghtlrg of
(ha rtnv took nlace Aca n thev met an
Impregnable resistance The poilus elec- '
-was endued, and that the French and
I .British divisions formed a sol'd mars of
.,ntri on at anv moment renulred re-
fused to give an Inch of ground
Again and again the Herman mattes i
swept forward against Pass. cast of
la Fertemllon. and ngilnn Torcv and
Bouresches Each time the seventj -fives
and the quick flrers tore the advincing
line to pieces, while the heavier artillery
plajed unmercifully on each new con
centration of troops In the rear
One of the most Important factors In i
N the battle, the masterj of air has now
passed back to the hands of the Allies I
from which it had been momentarily
wrested, owing to the nt-tessitj of re- I
grouping the air bases Now every move
ment of the enemy H Immedlatelv sig
naled and anticipated and his troopa

without respite by the Allied pilots (ly
ing at tree-top level
The centers behind the German front
are bombarded on a f-cale hitherto un
dreamed of by day and night In the
twenty-four hours of Sunday -ixt -three
tons of bombs were launched by the
.French alone.

German Ingenuity could not have con.
trlvcd a more tffectlve bit of casual cru
elty than was Inflicted on a group of
refugees arriving In Paris Just after
midnight one morning this week. There
was a tralnload of them, only one of
many tralnloads woinn. children nnd
old men coming all day from the newly
invaded territory about Soissons But
the midnight nrrlval of this particular
group was almost on the Instant of the
beginning of the Paris air raid
Thev had jut a inomenf to get a
glimpse of food, light and comfort: then
darknesi shut out the sight of food, and
the greetings of the nurses were drowned
bv the warning shrieks of the siren
whistles The refugees marched through
the blackness of the streets to the near
est subwav shelter, where they huddled
together during the two hours the attack
lasted
They were to be received and fed ln a
big shed on the plaza In front of the
ralhoad station. Comfortable seats were
provided for everbody, and cots for
those no longer able to stand or even to
fit. There were cribs for the babies and
tables up nnd down the long room were
loaded with food. French and American
(-oldlers w ere there to help the lied Cross
men and women Such v a3 th" haven of
which thee weary, hungrv and homeless
souls lnd a glimpse after their drear
flight from Invaded towns and villages

The first icrugee to enter the plazi
shed was a six- ear-old boy wearing a
miniature cap and uniform of French
blue His mother, carrvlng a baby, was
pushing the boy along In front of her.
He was so tired and slepv that he could
hardlv walk For an Instant the light of
th" room dazed him. Then he saw heaps

His mother did not have to push him
then Instead, he seized her bv the hand
and 1 egan to run toward the nearest

FORBID your children to drink soda except
where it is served in Lily Paper Glasses.
You will find they will avoid colds, grippe and
more serious illnesses.
A busy hour at a soda fountain causes careless, hurried wash
ing. You can't investigate who used the glass just before you,
and, if you could, it wouldn't d6 very much good.
Avoid taking chances as much as you can. Mere washing is
insufficient to make a drinking glass safe. Sterilization would
be the only adequate safeguard. Demand protection when
drinking at fountains by asking for LILY Glasses.
When you insist upon Lily Glasses, you are only being sensible. You are ,
not overcautious. Lily Glasses are safe in every way. No one has ever
used the glass that is handed to you.
No one will ever drink from it when you have finished.
Soda fountain proprietors who serve their patrons in Lily Paper Glasses are
safeguarding their health. Lily Glasses are economical. No glass breakages ;
no time lost in washing and drying. The proprietor with Lily Glasses at his
fountain is stamped as a careful, conscientious man; a true friend of his
customers.

the ees of the hungry children could
not penetrate. There was no time to
grope for it, because no exceptions can
be msde to tlie strict rules for safety

The refugees were hurried out of the
shed bv guards and formed Into a black,
vague line on the plaza. Then th1' were
marched to a bomb shelter, whore the
discouraged llttio boy In French army

mother, near where another mother lay
In her agony as her babv was born.
Of course, it vas only n chance that
the raiders nnd the refugees came to

the refugees the outh, the black streaks,
one might almost have a fancy that the
thing was arranged Raiding aviators

he saw a train stop, might Imagine it

other good target Such a man might
luve bis little Joke up there In the sky
by himself, to dodge the barrage of the

He might think It better I
not to kill them on the road, hut first
to let them get a glimpse of food and
comfort, and then to blow them and thp
food to pieces at Just the moment of
