tomed to measuring the advance Ijy miles that the present
creeping progress seems by contrast disappointing. The
fighting, -however, is of the most intense character and
over the strongest fortified region in the world, against
positions pronounced lv Germans impregnable.
The fighting is no longer in the open, over the devas
tated Somine battlefield or against hastily improvised
lines of denl'cnse, but .over a difficult terrain, swept bv the
big guns of the Hun. and overv foot won is bv hand-to-
hand fighting. The enemy is no longer in retreat, but in
strength in his own chosen positions and literally has to
be blasted out. Counter attacks are numerous, but yard-by-yard
the German is being driven backward.

mans are standing,' was believed impregnable to assault,.

1'he Ifindcnburg line proper extends from Lens south
ici-oss the plains of Picardv to Laon, a distance of 0
miles, passing west of (Jambrai and St. Quentin, the in
dustrial railway centers which are routes for supplying
the German forces in France. The defenses from Laon
for 45 miles southeast are also sometimes called the Ilin-
denbnrg line, but more commonly the Alberich line, mak
ing its total length over 100 miles. From Laon it follows
the Cheniin des Haines to above Uheinis and thence south-
ast to the lxirraine border. The Americans in the St.
Mihicl advance have reached the southern portion of
tins line.
The Hindenburg line is not a trench but a svstem of
field fortifications. In places it is ten miles' deep, con
sist ing not only of the trench system but of multiple lines
of barbed wire entanglements, concrete positions for ar-
ery, deep dugouts capable ot housing a battalion ot
troops, numerous pill boxes for machine guns and, in fact,
every device the Hermans have been able to assemb e
Near Hullecourt was a formidable underground for
tification known as the "Tunnel Trench" which the Ger
mans believed to be impregnable. This tunnel connecting
tlie trendies was more than a mile long and was mined
or its whole length, lighted with electricity and had en
trances at short intervals. It was reinforced bv concrete
pill boxes and support trenches.

as the keystone of the whole German system. Hundreds
of German batteries were installed in the screened re
vines around that city and in the forests ot St. Gobain.
Southwest of Laon the town was protected by the Mas
tdf of Moiiainpteuil behind whose crest are huge under
ground ravines and shelters, some big enough to hold i

"Old Wives for i.Ww," tho latest
Cecil B. De Mllle special picture pro
duetlon for Artcraft, will be tho great
feature at the Page theatre today and
Thursday.
This remarkable photoplay Is
pleturization by Jeanie Mafpherson I
of David Graham Phillips' celebrated'
novel of the same name which scored
so decided a success several years ago
and which is 3tlU popular as being!
one of the strongest expositions of;
contemporary American life and man- j
ners ever produced by any writer.
In this story. Mr. Phillios has
taken up for discussion the lives or'
a man and woman who marry young'
In the heat of youthful passion and
who rue it 'bitterly luter when the
wifo becomes slovenly and obese,
while the man gains rather than loses J
in every way. They are wealthy, but
this does not stay the march of events '
which in tho end result in divorce. )
Another woman, who is really noble,1
enters into the life of the man, and
thus the eternal triangle is establish.!
ed with happy results.
This picture is a remarkable onej
in every respect and In the develop-;
mc:it of the story, elegant stylish
gowns, valued at 7,",000, are worn
by the woman In the cast. The sup-!
