With the Americans on the Vesle
Aug 12 — The Americans and French
on the heights north of the Vesle are
opposed by fresh Prussian divisions
vrho are fighting in the American sec-
tor with machine guns and rifles and
there is increased German activity
noticeable
The Americans threw down intense
barrages and stopped all assaults
The attacks threw down two intense
barrages and stopped all assaults
The attacks did not materialize eith-
er because of the small army they
had or because they “could not get up
enough steam"
The American infantry advanced
half way up a steep slope this morn-
ing but were unable to hold the half-
position Swing to the intense fire
from the foot of the slope
American artillery continues to
pound the German positions here
The Americans have increased
their air activity and as a result
there were two air battles today Dur-
ing one fight the Americans were
outnumbered as they had only two
machines

ARRESTED
FOR BURGLARY
H E Stons was arrested Sunday
afternoon for burglary
For more than a year systematic
robberies have been going on in the
city and all efforts to arrest the bur-
glar have proved futile
The homes of Ike Ileiligman and
Sam Frelich have been robbed many
times so often in fact that Iks had
come to consider the visits of the
robber as a matter of fact and had
paid little attention it of late altho
he had lost many dollars worth of
goods from' his residence
The burglar never took anything
but wearing apparel and many times
has left valuable jewelry lying on a
table which he could have reached
with perfect ease
Recently Mrs Ileiligman was arous-
ed early one morning and got s quick
glimpse of the man and reported to
the police who'from the description
suspicioned Stone and af'er a great
deal of thinking decided to search his
house and went there for that pur-
pose but after seeing Stone’s wife
and children their hearts failed them
and Chief Watson and Sheriff Fitz-
gerald returned to town
Stone was seen at the home of Sam
Frelich Saturday afternoon trying to
get a key in the front door but when
he found that some one was looking
at him he knocked on the door and
soon left
Mr and Mra Frelich are in New
Y ork
Chief Watson notified all the neigh-
bors to keep a lookout and he stood
watch all night Saturday night but
Stone did not show up
Sunday afternoon however he did
show up on the premises and Mra
George Chandler seeing him at the
back door phoned Watson to come
He went at once and found all the
doors locked He tried the front and
back door and stationing Patrolman
Seay at the front door he went to the
back door and broke in Stone was
in another room and jumped behind
the door in an effort to keep Wat-
son out He finally shoved the door
open and there stood Stone He had
no gun and nothing from the house
but had pulled down all ahadea of the
rooms
A search was ' made of his house
and silk goods in all varieties were
found silk dresses kimonas gowns
teddies fine corsets hose— Chief
Watson says about 2000 pair of hose
of all grades
Chief Watson believes he said that
Stone was taking the goods here and
when he had a sufficient quantity
on hand would take them to St Louis
and dispose of them as he had a pass
to St Louis in his pocket and would
have left for that city this morning
but was detained here
In Stone’s house was found a shot
gun belonging to Alf Goldman that
was stolen more than two years ago
There was also found some wearing
apparel belonging to Mrs C S Lam-
beth which had been stolen while she
was sway recently and which she had
hot missed
Stone has always been a highly re-
spected Frisco telegraph operator and
above suspicion and even when Mrs
Heiligm&n saw him some months ago
she could hardly believe the evidence
before her eyes
Stone is now In the eounty Jail and
has had nothing to say further than
that he “is not the only one that is
stealing around here"

CAN HINDENBURG
MAINTAIN SELF?
By WM PHILLIP SIMM3
With the British Army in France
Aug 12 (Night) — Hindenburg is
today face to face with the a poser
Can he maintain himself on the
present line or will he be forced to
beat an undignified retreat along the
lines where he was pushed hack in
1917 or must he now go on a purely
defensive scale of operations f
Foch and Haig at Amiens gave him
a crack
Prisoners dejectedly admit that the
Germans are unable to resist further
The defeats at the Marne have had
a demoralizing effect on the whole
German army
They regard the entrance of the
Americans into the war with dismay
Haig's blow has added to this dis-
may and dejection
The Cermans have not finished and
will undoubtedly put up a stubborn
fight for some time yet
Hindenburg faces the proposition of
a defensive warfare
German divisions on the front are
very low 40 divisions (480000000
men( have been identified since last
Thursday and ten new ones have also
been identified
Yet as a result Hindenburg is past
delivering sueeessful blows in the two
large salients still remaining to him
The cost to hold these will be huge
with the allies grinding and pounding
him from every direction day and
night just as they did on the Somme
line
Lines of sufficient numbers of re-
serves to hold the British positions
along the Somme are there
If you sit in a cool draft when you
are heated and get ’ a stiff neck or
lame back you will be looking for
something that will ease the pain
Fix your mind on BALLARD’S
SNOW LINIMENT and don’t be talk-
ed out of it because it is the best
