Foch's Vic- torious Troops. PARIS, July 1. — Southwest of Soissons French troops in an attack over a front of 11/2 miles, from the south of Amblemy to the east of Mont Gobert, Friday captured Ger- man positions and at some points advanced ,their line to a depth of 1 miles, says the French official com- usunication. Prisoners to the ./lum- ber of ' 1,060 thus far' have been counted. Robert Berry, correspondent of the Associated Press with the French army, wires: "The first notably activity for some time on this front occurred early on Friday morning when the French executed a particularly suc- cessful local operation to the south- nvest of Soissons and on the borders of the Forest of Villers-Cotterets where were captured several posi- tions whose continual possession would have permitted the enemy to a e Pre p r a future offensive. The French attack occurred at dawn, along a front of 6,000 yards, and the fighting proceeded throughout the day. "By late afternoon when this de- spatch was filed the French had tak- en a number of prisoners and more were coming in. "The allied troops had reached the outskirts of the Fosse-bas-Cutry and St, Pierre Aigle, where a most determined struggle was 'progressing. The Germans had ,been ejectedfrom a portion of the Forest of Villers Cotterets southward to. St. Pierre Algle. The French artillery was completely dominating the enemy guns." Friday night's War Office report said: ' "South of the Aisne we .attacked this morning frosts south pf Amblemy to the east of Mont Cobert in order to acquire armed places on a sesren kilometre front. We entered German works, took the Fosses above Laver - sine and the heights northwest of Cutry and advanced our line near the west of St. Pierre Aigle and also on the hill south of this village. "Our advance reached at some joints a depth of two kilometres. We have taken •until- now 1,060 pris- oners." Although the points of the British. and French. attacks were separated by about 100 miles the manoeuvres seemingly had been well considered by'Gen. Foch, the allied commander- in-chief, ommander-in chief, as they were carried out synchronously. The strategy of the double stroke is apparent when it is realized that a successful German thrust where the British struck would have menaced the Channel ports or a similar move in the south would have placed the French capi- tal in jeopardy. BEJLG ARS MAKE TROUBLE. Refuse to Obey the Commandsof Berlin. PARIS;, July 1.—Reports coming from. both Germany and Bulgaria give Indications that the latter is be- coming one of the most irritable sources of annoyance and disquietude in Berlin,; next to Vienna. Official quarters here look upon` the situation as an outgrowth of the recent crisis which the German press tried to paint as an interior political event which did not change its ally's policy and on the whole, was,favorable to their entente. The burden of these repasts may be summed up in a few words: That instead. of Bulgaria, being an obed- ient ally, of Germany, she has be- come a grabby ally; instead of being a help, she has become a burden. Bulgaria's appetite is believed here to hinder the German policy in Tur- key, as well as to interfere with the intrigues centering about former King ,Constantine., There is a -well- founded belief thafsome negotiations have taken place in Switzerland be- tween a group loyal to Constantine and certain Turks, probably through a pro -German Minister and advisor of the former Xing. As regards the rumor of Sunday that Bulgaria is to make a separate peace, not, much faith is placed here in the infbrination. The French Gov- ernment knows the Malinoff Cabinet favors claims directly in opposition to Serbia's :;desires, since it insists on obtaining the frontier of the se- cret agreement of 1012 1Sionastir, Macedonia, Seres and Cavalla. Buried Many Austrians. ROME,' July 1.—An Austrian ad- varice post in the mountain 'region was surprised by Italian troops on Friday and wiped out, the War Office announced. Along the front as a whole the activity was .nowhere of marked intensity, although there was brisk fighting ,along advanced lines in the vicinity of Col del Rosso. In this mountain area, after an Italian raid bad resulted in the cap- ture of prisoners and machine guns, the Austrians retaliatedby attacking the Italian advanced line iri force. The enemy was repulsed with considerable losses. Austrian prisoners to the number of more than 500 were taken on June 25, during the operation in which the Italians extended their bridgehead at Cape Sile. Gen. Diaz is consolidating his posi- tions and regrouping his forces, The Italians buried 14,000 Austrians in two salients on the west bank of. the, Piave, Kaiser Approved Speech.

The local Flax Mill will take you towork and bring you home each day without cost to you. In no branch of active service is heroic sacrifice so marked as among our aviators. Their splendid spirit is well revealed in a letter to his parents written by an aviator five days before he made the supreme sacrifice. It says in part: "If the news ever reaches you, which sooner or later reaches every flyer's parents—don't mourn. We R. F. C. men never think of death; the only thing we think of is the effect our passing. may have on our dear ores. So if 1 go the usual way, don't let dear mumsy cry, wear black, and all that sort of nonsense, Dad, don't you get all upset. Keep the show going, smile and; carry on . " "Keep the show going, smile and carry on," that's the spirit. Many boys and giris are WOMEN GIRLS and Men, you can earn $4.00 or more a day pulling flax. too young to enlist to "keep the show go- ing" but an . opportunity is offering to be of service now : the flax -growers want help, and the Organization of Resources Com- mittee are behind a movement to save the fibre for making the . cloth for aeroplane wings, of which the allied armies are in very urgent need. Boys and girls, young men and women, and even old men, may enlist their services for this work. For the convenience of the workers, automobiles will be provided to take them to the fields and back. Six strong boys giving attention to the work should be capable of pulling an acre of flax a day, and as the offered wage is $15.00 an acre (which is the recog- nized rate of the Flax -growers' .Associa- tion)this means an average of $2.50 a day to the lads. over 15, you can earn from $1.50 to $3.00 a day pulling flax. BOYS over 15, you can earn from $L50 to $3.00 a day. pulling flax. You can work for the Local Flax Mill, the address of which is given below. Help Wanted At Onc for these reasons: Flax Kis used to make the wings of aero- planes. ; The grade of flax depends upon •Irtiansta its being pulled at the right time. If the flax is over ripe its quality deteriorates. • ORGANIZATION OF RESOURCES COMMITTEE, PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS, TORONTO Apply, at once, fair employment in this neighborhood to HENSALL , ZURJ CH EXETtat 0, GEIGER ,,. -1 A 'HE1DEMAN & tr.,:KALBFLI;ISCH ,..,LA3 MILL r OASIIWOOIa I+LA2 Co` ' , CREDITON „ IICIlOL5Oi & HO GINS SI-fIPRA .,::. .,.. ..... ... ......F1 -AX MILL i r .
