14 FIFTY VILLAGES CAPTURED BY ALLIES [Continued from First Page.] the last man and refused to be captured Hurts Plan to Retire to Safer Positions London, Aug. 29.—The total Entente Allied captures on the western front since July 18 now approach 120,000 prisoners and 2.000 guns. British military observers say it now is clear that the Germans intend to retire to a shorter line on the western front where they can obtain better defensive posi tions. • British Are Within Four Miles of Peronne With the British Forces in France, Aug. 29.—Ginchv, a town about two miles northwest of Combles, is reported to have been captured by Field Marshal Haig's forces this morning. British troops also captured Bel'loy, Assevillers, Herbecourt and Feuilleres. All these towns are within four miles of Peronne. Launching new local attacks and following up the advantage gained yesterday the British to day moved forward along a large part of their battle front. More Than Fifty Towns Are Captured by Allies Parts, Aug. 29.—The number of German prisoners captured by the French in their advance west of the Chaulnes-Noyon line has been comparatively small, as the French have been obliged to move cau tiously. The war material taken, however, has been considerable. In forty-eight hours the allied advance has liberated more than fifty villages. German Counterattacks Repulsed by Haig's Troops London, Aug. 29.—German oun terattaeks east and southeast of Vis en-Artois, east of Boiry and in the vicinity of Gavrelle, villages to the east of Arras, have been repulsed, says to-day's war office statement. South of the Somnie British forces are keeping up their pressure against the enemy and are advanc ing eastward. Since August 21 the; British have taken 26,000 prisoners and one hundred guns. British Advance But fDctails Are. Not at Hand Over the front to the north of Noyon there has been apparently' little change in the situation during ' the past night.

THURSDAY EVENING. ing south of the Somme are said to be advancing, but details of <helr progress do not appear in official announcements. To the west of Arras the Germans have launched heavy counterattacks, which were repulsed, .according to the British official report, but it is admitted by London that the British forces holding positions at Oppy have been withdrawn to the west of that village. Hoar Guard Fights The Germans apparently are fighting rear guard actions, along the Canal du Nord, which runs from Noyon to Nesle. The French jare close to this waterway at Fres j noy wood. i The situation as it stands to-day dosely resembles that in the Marne (sector after the Germans had made I a determined star ' along the Ourcq. It was found that their resistance |of the main German army of the | Marne salient, and it is probhble ; that General von Boehm has suc ceeded in moving tire great" por tion of his army and artillery behind the Somme river and along the Ham-Chauny line. Huns Leave Pocket | The development of the allied ad j vance would seem to indicate that I the pocket on the soutlfern end of | the battleline is being emptied nd that there is little hope that the ! Allies will be able to catch any large I number of enemy troops there. Having forced the Germans to re treat between the Somme and the Oise, the allied forces are pressing the advantage gained and continue their advance eastward. Further enemy retirements between Rheims and Arras are not unexpected in allied capitals. French troops, after an advance of nearly seven miles on a front of nineteen miles, are lighting for the crossings of the Canal du Nor<l in the region north of Noyon, which gradually is being encircled. Imme diately south of the Somme British forces have moved east to within three miles of the Somme, south of where it bends at Peronne, and are driving the enemy back to the river crossings at Peronne and Brie. Pressure Continues From the Somme to north of Ba paunie, the British pressure con tinues vigorously and has resulted in an advance of more than a mile on a front of more than live miles in the region of Curlu and northward. Bapaume still holds out, hut the British are pushing well east of that point on the north. Southeast ol Arras, where the British have crossed the Hinden burg line, they are now east of Boiry-Notre Dame about three miles cast of Monchy-le-Preux and threat ening seriously the Queant-Drocourt support line. North of the Scarpe German counterattacks seemingly have held up the advance astride the Arras-Douai high road. Yankees Strike Blow While the enforced retirement of the enemy from the Roye-Chaulnes line adds lo the difficulties of the German troops north of the Somme, French and American troops under General Mangin have struck at the vital salient north of Soissons. An advance of nearly one mile has been made in the Chavigny region. The Allies here are driving toward the heights at the western end of the Chemin des Dames, imperiling the German lines both to the east and to the west. To the east, along the Vesle, the Germans have reacted violently against the Americans at Fismette and had regained that vil lage Wednesday night in heavy lighting. The. enemy, however, did not succeed in crossing the Vesle, which evidently was his intention. Berlin says 250 Americans were made prisoner here and at Bazoches, several miles to the west. At Ba soehes the Americans gained a strong foothold in the village in stubborn fighting. Viewed from the maps, the Ger man withdrawal before French pressure in the Nesle region, coupled with allied activities elsewhere on the great battle front, which has be come the greatest of the war, hardly I.KGAL NOTICES Comm. of Penn.; Insurance Depart ment ln the liquidation of the dissolved Citizens' Life Ins.

JOHN T. OLMSTED, Referee in Bankruptcy. Dated August 29, 1918. places them in a more secure posi ; tion than the one previously occu pied. The fact that south of Pe ronne the Germans went back to the Canal du Nord and the Somme may Indicate that they will retire tQ th same canal north of Peronne, where it runs toward Cambrai. Impede Retreat British pressure on the north and the French position along the Oise do not make the Canal du Nord a very strong line, because it dan be outflanked from the north and from the south. The French, at the junc ture of the Oise and the Ailette, could cut in behind it, and at least are so placed as to impede and seri ously harass any hurried withdrawal from the region about Ham and Noyon. German resistance is reported to have increased as the British and French have moved eastward south of the Somme. This may indicate the enemy intends to make another temporary stand at the Somme and. the Canal du Nord. Meariwhiie the British south of the Scarpe are eat ing into the old German defenses with success. The fate of the fiin detiburg line depends upon the situ ation here, and interesting develop ments may be expected. A German newspaper reports that the Polish, Czech and South Slav inhabitants of Austria-Hungary are mobilizing, probably in prepara tion for a concerted revolutionary movement. Signs in Bohemia, it is said, indicate some action may be taken soon. J Science For Our Country's Defenders j The Law of Buoyancy and the i Floating of Submarines at Chosen Levels Beneath the Surface—How the World Might Be 1- loodcil. ' By Garrett P. Scrvtss "Will you decide a little discus sion which has arouse .quite an in terest in our company? The questions are. First is the water at the bot tom of the ocean denser than that at the surface? Second, Can a'sub marine remain suspended between the surface and bottom without moving forward or backward by its motive power, and if it can, is it due to density or pressure? Third. Can water he compressed, or can the air be pressed out of water, and what per cent will ordinary' water com press by pressing the air out? C. 8., Camp Colt, Gettysburg." 1. Yes, the water at the bottom of the ocean is denser than that at the surface, both because of the greater pressure upon it, and because of its lower temperature. When it is saltier than the surface water (which is not everywhere the case). It is denser on that account also. You should, however, read what is said in answer to your third ques tion, in connection with the subject of the effect of pressure in the depths of the ocean. 2 Yes, a submarine can, theo retically. remain suspended between the .surface and the bottom, without motion. Its ability to do so depends upon a ballance between its total t weight and the weight of equal vol- I ume of the water in which It is \ immersed. This is obtained by con- I trolling the amount of air and of | ballast in the chambers and reser- I voirs. The principle employed is I the same as that which governs the j floating of a balloon. When the weight of the ballon, ! together with its burden, equals the ! weight of a quanity of air having 'the same aggregate volume, i. e., fil ling the same absolut space, the bal lon will neither rise nor decend. But if increase of heat expands the gas In the balloon faster than expands the surrounding air, the balloon will rise; whereas if the sur rounding air increases in tempera ture faster than the gas does, the balloon will descend because now the equilibrium between it and the air is destroyed by the latter becom ing, bulk for bulk, the lighter. On the other hand, if the gas should suddenly be chilled, as by a cloud shadow, the balloon woul'd drop un til the equilibrium was restored in [he denser air lower down. This reference to the conduct of a balloon is made because changes of density in the air occur rapidly and, on a relatively large scale while the flengity of water at a giv en depth does not perceptibly vary, and even at widely different depths the variation of density is small, so that the underlying principle is more readly illustrated by the bal lon than by the submarine. The principle, or law, concerned is that known under the name of buoyancy. When a body is immer sed in either air or water, it dis i places a quantity of air or water equal to its own bulk, and the weight of that quantity of air or water represents the vertical pies sure, or buoyance effect, of the fluid upon the immersed body. If the buoyant uplift equals the* total downward pressure, the body will float at the point where it then is without either rising or sinking Both pressure and density are con cerned in the matter since the pres sure. whtch is the immediate active agent, varies with the density. 3—Water can be compressed, but it requires an enormous force to produce a noticeable degree of com pression. A .given volume of water at ordinary temperatures can Ve compressed to the extent of only one-fifty-millionth of its bulk by doubling \he atmospheric pressure upon it! At the greatest depth of the ocean the pressure produced by the weight of superincumbent water must amount to at least 500 times the ordinary atmospheric pressure at the surface, or say four tons to the square inch. Now under such a pressure as that, to quote a striking comparison by H. R. Mill, "11,000' cubic feet of air would be squeezed into 22 cubic feet, but 11,000 cubic feet of water would only he reduced to about 10.000 cubic feet, the density being only slightly increased." This shows the immense difference between the compressibility of air and water, and yet they obey the same law of buoyancy. But slight as the re lative compressibility of water, the hulk of the ocean is so great that it has been caculated that if the sea water should suddenly cease to he compressible and should assume the volume that it would have If It did not yield at all to compression the ocean would rise at least 116 feet above their present level and inundate about 2,000,000 square miles of now dry land, including all the great ports of the world. Some caculations, base on dif ferent data concerning the mean depth of the ocean, put the rise of sea level, in the case supposed at 200 feet. As to the air contained in water, the waV to get It out would not be by pressure hut by bollng. Some air is mechanically inclosed in water, as may be seen in pools at the foot of waterfalls where It escapes In bubbles.
