GERMANS TAKE ALL FOOD OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS XlclicT Supplies Sole Means of Sub sistence During Teuton Occupa tlonMany DeportedN-MlH-tary Labor Enforced. FROM A PTAST CORRESPONT5ENT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. AT THE FRONT IN FRANCE. Sun day, March 18. via Paris. March 19. The French troops yesterday and to day made one of the most significant advances since the beginning of the "war. Along a 60-kllometer front some hundreds of square kilometers re-fell Into the hands of the French, while the Germans' retreating movement gave no evidence of coming to a halt. This Immense tract of reconquered territory was traversed today by a correspondent for the Associated Press, who found the Inhabitants in many places, where they were allowed to remain by the Germans, tearfully Joy ous at the reappearance of their fellow countrymen coming In as victors. Among the first words from the women and children, who had been for 83 months In the hands of the Germans, were expressions of gratitude to America. Lives Dae to Americana. "Americans have kept us alive; oth erwise we would have died of hunger." This was absolutely spontaneous, the stricken people not being aware that an American correspondent was pres ent. Signs of a hasty German departure are visible everywhere and especially In the villages and towns, in the shape of houses blown to fragments by the explosion of Incendiary bombs. In the distance burning villages showed that the retreat still was progressing. Here nd there were a few corpses of Ger nan soldiers, who evidently had been killed while acting as rear-guards. For mer German positions are Just heaps of scattered wire entanglements and the trenches are half filled with water. French la Close Pursuit. Supply columns are proceeding in very direction, following the French pursuing troops, who keep clos'e on the heels of the retreating Germans, not allowing them a moment's respite. In the villages of Candor and Lagny many women and childven still re mained, the rapid retirement not per mitting f . Germans to carry them off with the Mayor, the assistant Mayor and other officials. They asserted that everything they (rrew in their gardens was requisitioned by the Germans, and the sole means of sustaining life was the food distributed by the Americans. Every month the mayors or other village functionaries were called to where the American rep resentatives gave out supplies and life "Was sustained rlmply by this means. ' Women and Girls Carried Off. At Candor . early 200 women and chil dren were left In German hands at the beginning of the war. The young men and girls were all carried off to Ger many, their parents even now being ignorant of their whereabouts. Those remaining were compelled to do all kinds of work without payment and when, for religious reasons, they re fused to work on Sunday, they were iinea. Even boys over 13 years old assert that they were driven from home and made to dig ditches for military tele pnone wires. All schools had been closed slne the German occupation. The inhabitants assert that the Ger man soldiers told them weeks ago that they were about to retreat, as they were not able to withstand the con stant attacks from the entente allies on all parts of the line, and further that they were suffering from shortage vi ioou supplies. indications on all sides show that the retirement Is becoming even more extensive.

The British ad . vance still Is being pushed rap Idly, further large gains being record ed in the official report from British headquarters in France tonight. "The pursuit of the enemy," says the report, "continued today, our cav alry and advance guards driving back the enemy's rear guards. The ground gained extends for a depth of from two to eight miles, and 40 more villages have fallen into our hands. "The enemy raided ; our trenches early this morning near Loos and northwest of Ypres; a few of our men are missing. - , "Our airplanes did much valuable work yesterday In co-operation with our Infantry. Enemy troops were en gaged successfully with machine guns and bombs were dropped on a number of places behind the enemy lines. In tne air fights one German machine was destroyed and one was driven down damaged. Two of our airplanes are missing.' Austrian. BERLIN. March 19. (By wireless to Sayvllle. N. Y.) The Austro-Hungari-rlan headquarters report of March 17, as received here today, says: "Eastern war theater North of the Oltus pass, west of Solotvina and southwest of Stanislau, Russian at tacks were repulsed. In the wooded Carpathians there has been successful patrol activity. Italian theater On the Costabella our troops reconquered an advanced position lost March 4 and captured three officers, 34 Alpine troops and two machine guns." British in Mesopotamia. LONDON. March 19. The following official communication was issued this evening regarding the operations of the British troops against the Turks in Mesopotamia: "During Saturday night General Maude's troops effected a cross of the DIala River and occupied the village of Bahriz and a part of the town of Bakubah on the left bank of the river. The enemy retired toward Khanlkan." Bakubah lies about 25 miles north east of Bagdad on the Dlala. two points. Our curtain of fire and the fire of our machine guns broke the waves of this assault along the greater portion of the front attacked before it was possible for the enemy to reach our line, and resulted In the Infliction of heavy losses. Near Hill 304 and In the outskirts of the Avocourt wood, where some detachments of the enemy were j successiui in penetrating our lines over a distance of 250 meters, there was a Spirited hand-to-hand engagement. As a result of this fighting the enemy was driven back from a portion of the advanced positions they had occupied. "On the day of March 18 Adjutant Madon attacked at close range and brought down his eighth German aeroplane. On the 'same day another German machine, after having teen en gaged by one of our pilots, crashed to the ground at a point to the west of Altkrch. "It has been confirmed that another German airplane came ' down March 17 at a point north of Cemy-en-Laonnols. "On the evening of March 17 and the following night a French air squadron bombarded the factories and blast fur naces at Tpionville and In the Brlel Valley, as well as certain convoys of enemy troops which were marching In the region of, Guiscard."

Further progress by the Rus sians In Persia, who have now reached the vicinity of the Turkish border. Is reported by the war Office today. The statement follows: "In the region south of the town of Baneh we dislodged the Turks from a number of positions.

We have occupied Harunabad, 20 miles south west of Kermanshah." French. PARIS, March 19. The French troons have occupied about 20 additional vil lages and small towns In their advance on the retreating Germans. They have gone beyond Ham. on the Somme River, and Chauny, on the Olse. which brings tnem appreciably nearer to the St. Qulnten-Laon line. East of Nesle the second German position was captured. The statement says 100 'villages have been reoccupied by the French in three days. Many of these towns had been devastated. Thousands of persons whom the Germans were unable to send to the rear came forward to greet the rencn. , On the Verdun front the Germans made a heavy attack between Avocourt and Deadman Hill, after artillery preparation. They penetrated the French lines on a front of 250 yards, but were ejected from part of this posi tion after violent hand-to-hand fight ing.. The statement follows: "Last night small detachments of troops which were holding the enemy in close contact, continued their for ward march without check. East of JSesle some of these detachments reached several points on the railroad Between Ham and Nesle.

Germans on Western Front. BERLIN. March 19. (By wlceless to Sayvllle, N. Y.) Evacuation of terri tory over a wide sector of the French front extending from Arras to the Alsne River is announced by the Ger man War Office. Severeal lines of French trenches over an extent of 500 meters In one section and 800 meters in another on the Verdun front were stormed yesterday by the Germans. Nearly 500 French prisoners were taken. The statement reads: . "During the last few days a strip of land between the district of Arras and the Alsne has been systematically evacuated by us. The strategic move ments were prepared long ago and were carried out without being disturbed by the enemy, who followed in only a hestltating manner. Our protecting troops by perspicacious and ener getic conduct cast a veil over the abandonment of the positions and the departure of our troops. In the aban doned district the means of communi cation useful to the enemy have been destroyed. A part of the population, provided with food for five days, was left. "Yesterday near the coast on the Ar- tols front and on both banks of the Meuse there was lively fighting activity. "In the afternoon companies of fre quently tested regiments stormed In the southeastern part of Malancourt wood and on the east- slope of Hill 304 (Verdun region) several lines of French trenches on fronts of 500 and 800 meters and brought back eight of- Retreating Germans Are Sev eral Miles From Bapaume.

Accbrding to Renter's British headquarters corre spondent, the British advance has reached a line east of Bapaume, extend ing from Vaulx Vraucourt. four miles northeast of Bapaume, to Ytres, six miles east-southeast of Bapaume. The correspondent, describing the vagaries of the German retirement, says: "Sometimes the British find villages held by rearguard forces. Sometimes the enemy has completely disappeared. For Instance, after the occupation of Peronne, a patrol' passed forward two miles to the northeast without getting Into touch with the enemy. In another case a patrol crossed the Somme by a partTy damaged bridge and hurried into a village a mile away, only to dis cover It empty. "Perhaps the most striking feature of the situation Is the fact that our patrols got astride the railroad between Arras and Bapaume In various places between the two towns without en countering any resistance. While this does not prove that we possess undis puted use of these routes. It proves that the Germans are back behind them. They have greatly damaged both the railway and the -roads, but the British can soon repair them and restore com munication. "It Is an Interesting fact that the British are holding practically the line which Joffre chose for an attempt to make a stand during the great 1914 retreat, but was unable to hold under the great pressure o" the Germans."

"It was most marked in the Lagarlna Valley. Our field hospitals at Gorizla and Ronchl were struck, causing a few casualties. The enemy attempted raids In the Giumella Valley and in the Lucatl sec tor. He was checked by our vigilance. "Fine weather was favorable for the air craft and after a brisk fight we Drougn down two enemy airplanes, one within our lines. Last night one of our airships, notwithstanding . strong head wind, succeeded in dropping a ton of high explosives on the railroad station at Galliano, in the Lagarina Valley, and on the railroad line to the north.

A Berlin dispatch to the Handelsblad describing the German retirement on the western front says: "As the ground abandoned now has become a battlefield. It was necessary to destroy everything that might be of service to the enemy, such as roads. shelters and the water supply. ' This destruction was carried out ruthlessly, but what could be of no military ad vantage to the enemy was spared.

Further. more, all are similarly pillaged devas tated to the foundation., "At Nesle, a village of 2500 persons, the entire population was in the streets crying for Joy and waving all the trt colored cloth to be found. A French airplane had the first honor of alight' lng at Nesle. The aviator, flying over the city, saw on a roof a man waving a French flag. He landed Immediately; tne Germans had just left. "At Roye entry was difficult. Streets j ristantiy. by big mines separate the quarters, which are in groups. The Avre River penetrated some of the large excava tions, which were transformed Into lit tle lakes. Here again pillage was savagely and methodically organized. The entire village, loomingup like an amphitheater, offers .to the view only houses with bare walls and floors broken In. Tapestries, dishes, linen, pictures and the smallest objects were carried off and sent toward Germany. Furniture was burned or transported to the trenches, where it was after ward broken up. To each inhabitant was left a mattress, a chair; but only what was necessary. "Roye retains the aspect of a village, for the church Is there and the organ resounds. .To describe the Joy of the Inhabitants is Impossible. Many of them did not hope to see the return of our troops. The Germans had spoken of deporting all. "On February 17 190 of them had re ceived at 6 o'clock an order to leave toward evening. They left crying. Since' then no more have been taken away. " 'The Germans did not expect you so soon. was the unanimous cry. We were told that the Germans grouped in certain villages the populations ol a number of hamlets. "Continuing our visit In Roye. we encountered on the summit of the city house of the town, where he spent the existence of a savage, deciding not to see the Germans. Two days ago, realizing that something new was In preparation, he went up to the roof of his houae and from afar saw masses of soldiers In blue, their helmets scln tilating In the sun. - " 'I was waiting for the French," he said. 'I looked for their red trousers, but saw only men In unknown uniform. My blood turned cold. I said to myself: Are they more Germans? But sudden ly from the small groups moving across the country came rifle fire. Then I understood - they were the French warriors, the French clotwed in blue, who had arrived.' "We left the village under the gum- ance ,of this old man. The Germans, he said, had revenged themselves even on the fields. In fact, everywhere the trees were cut down, all the apple trees from Rove to Champien, and the fine trees along the Roigllse road, suffered the same fate.
