' "To the southeast of Albert the trench captured by us on the 17th near Maricourt and lost on the 18th, was recaptured on the 20th. "In the region of Lihons the Ger mans made two violent attacks for the purpose of retaking the trenches won by us on the 18th. They were re pulsed. ' "From the Oise to the Argonne the superiority of our artillery continued to be manifested by the Interruption of the enemy's fire, the destruction of machine gun shelters and observa tories, and the dispersion of a consid erable number of troops. "In the Argonne.. the forest of La Grurie, we have repulsed three at tacks, two on Fontaine Madame, and one at St Hubert. ' .

American visitors, who a few days ago commented on the non-display of nags, scarcely recognized the streets. which everywhere were gay with the German black, white and red, and the Austrian orange and black,! at many places intertwined.

One lioness, Alice, the largest of the pack, escaped into a crowded street Policemen pursued her into the hallway of a nearby apartment house and in shooting at her probably fatally wounded a companion, Sergeant Daniel Glenn. Two other officers were slightly wounded by the claws of the beast in a battle at close range. . - At sight of the lions hundreds of persons in the theater fled screaming to the exits. Mothers delayed by gathering up their children crowded into corners and places of supposed safety.. Scores fainted and many, numbed by the sight of the animals among them, sat transfixed in their seats. . ' -' - i With the exception of Alice none of the beasts displayed great ferocity. A few person who got in their paths were scratched, but none of them was seriously hurt. Five of the animals still were roam ing about the theater when the last of the audience escaped.

Fierce Gale Whips South- ern California Coast Towns Los Angeles Heavy seas, whipped up by a 40-mile southeaster that swept the Southern coast Friday night and early Saturday, wrought damage amounting to more ' than- $100,000 at Long Beach and at Hueneme. John Caspinola, a fisherman, was washed off the launch Roma: one of the vessels sent out to search for a disabled motor boat which was blown out to sea with six members of the family - of J. H. Blake, of Rodondo. The Blakes, how ever, were saved by another vessel. At Long Beach the gale rolled np the highest seas seen at that point this year. Breakers dashed into the strand, tearing out bulkheads and cement walks, wrecking several resi dences close to the waterfront, flood ing streets and sending spray high over 60-foot buildings back of the promenades. The greatest damage was sustained in the Seaside park and Alamltoa Bay districts. J Huge waves battered down houses, marooned several families In their homes and flooded streets and streetcar tracks to depths of from one to three feet Several factories and two schools were among the buildings flooded and workmen and students took a compulsory holiday. , ;. .

I followed him from the car and to the station platform.. : - Looking away from the station we gazed upon a foreground, the prin cipal scenic. grandeur of which was supplied by a hitching post. Beyond lay the Inevitable main street and dis mal buildings. One of them, as I re call It, was- painted sky-blue, and bore the simple, unostentatious word "Ho tel." : , My companion gazed upon the scene for a time. He looked melancholy. Finally, without turning his head, he spoke: "How would you like to get off and spend a week here some day?" "You mean get off some day and spend a week," I corrected. "No. I mean get oft and spend a week some day."
