PARIS, Oct. 1 :i. - "Troops of the French tent li nnny have entered Laon." the war office announces in lis night communique. Sixty-live hundred civilians were liberated by the victorious French, I (he communique states. To the east of Laon the French have reached Camp He Sissonne. The German stronghold of La I Fere, together with a great part oT j the St. Gohain massif or which La 1 Fere was a northerly outpost of the Oise, has been ca ptured by t he ; French, todav's war office statement ! said. , The La Fere-Laon railroad line, has be n crossed on the high ground be l ween I anizy and Versigny. about j iwo and a halt miles east of La Fere. The northern and eastern sections of La Fere are burning. Notable progress has been made by the Italians and French along the line to the east, where the French have . reached Amifontaine. which is I a miles north of Rhejms. The en it re German line from SI. Gohain to the Argonne has cracked on a fin -mile front am) it now ap pears that the enemy will be forced lo retreat to a depth of some :U 1 in iles before finding a suitable line ot defense. At the best, his position will be menaced at its flanks on the ; oise to the Sambre canal from Ribe niont to Landrecies, which lines are very near the Belgian f ront ier. There ui he nothing here like the enemy's strong defenses on the Hiu deuhurg line.

Virtually all the German line is in movement and there seems now to be no chance for Ihc enemy to ic organize his forces for resistance.

Lewis, of Portland, Admitted Guilt in Justice Court Will lie Sentenced Tomorrow mill Wife Will be Tried. Another large haul of booze was made by the off leers yesterday morn ing, when they arrested Mr.' and Mrs. (i. J. Lewis, of Portland, at Shady Point, who were traveling In a Cadillac automobile and had with them ten sacks of the liquor, which were taken by the officers upon searching the car. The bootleggers were noticed in a drunken condition early Sunday morning, by people passing by Shady Point, who notified the sheriff'B office here concerning I lie m, upon which Deputy Sheriff Uaffety took a car to the place and brought them to this city. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis own a garage In Portland and they- had been down Into the southern part of the state on an automobile trip. The booze la of Hornbrook kind, and some came from Hilt, Cal. They claim they found it cached just this side of the line, which bus been the usual story with all bootleggers picked up hero. Federal Agent J. W. MeOortniek was in this city from his headquar ters In Tacoma today, and said that the buotleggers all think that if they get past Rosehurg they are aufe. Mr. McCormick arrived here to make an investigation of the large boo.o traffic which seems to be going on in this part of the state. . It Is his opinion that the extent of bootleg ging at present Is due largely to the good condition of the roads, which the law violators are taking advant age of, and that when the rains come, so much bootlegging will cease. Mr. McCormick expressed satisfaction with the vigilance kept by officers In Douglas County, who have succeeded In catching the boot leggers, after they have evaded the law lu the southern part of the state. When taken at Shady Point the bootleggers were having difficulty with the tires on the auto and of fered some resistance to the officer searching their car. Mrs. Lewis was allowed her liberty about the city to day but Lewis was confined fn the county Jail until his trial, which was started late this afternoon before Justice of the Peace Riddle. Lewis plead guilty through his attorney, John Long, and Mrs. Lewis plead not guilty. Justice Kiddle announced that the court would puss sentence upon Lewis tomorrow morning nnd the trial of Mrs. Lewis on a charge of Illicitly transporting and possess ing ItqHor will be held tomorrow af ternoon. Lewis said that he had obtained the liquor In a canyon a few miles beyond Catiyonvtlle. where cartons of it had been hid fn the brush. He nays this is his first offense of this kind, having been persuaded to get the booze by a professional bootlegger In Portland, who said he would go half in half with him on selling it when brought hack to Portland, and gave him a map of the canyon to assist In finding the liquor. Lewis refused to divulge the name of the nan fn Portland.
