dramas, the romance of a perfect
fit. More appealing than the pa-
triotic “Joan of Plattsburg," by all
odds the best thing Mabel Nor-

Early morning reports from the !
French frorit, regarding Noyon,
were as follows:
Paris—The Germans are putting
uo a bitter fight for possession of
Noyon, and have strongly entrench-
ed machine gun positions on the
southern and western outskirts.
French troops successfully have
outflanked Porquericourt mountain,
west of Noyon.
French have crossed the Roye-
Noyon road near Sermaisee, two
miles north of Noyon. The Ger-
mans are energetically defending
the hills to the east of Noyon.

Recent military events confirm the fact that
the Germans have lost control of their operations
in the Somme, Avre and Oise regions, and the in-
j dications are that the enemy’s own retreat is get-
ting out of hand. Efforts to check the allied pur-
suit by rear guard actions with machine guns
have failed.
London, Aug. 29.—In the vil-
lages abandoned by the Germans
and at many places along the line
of retreat, the allies are finding
mines at various places, also infer-
nal machines and traps of many
kinds, left by the Germans.
