With the progress of the al lies from the Ainu to the llcnse. the Germans are daily becomim: more alarmed over their situation between Rheims nnd Moronviliers heights. Allied forces are daily ncariii'jr the lateral railways which permit the enemy to move his reserves from point to point. I)armr trie past two davs the advance of the allies has made the route from the Aronne nltiiitt the Aire valley useless except atj niirht. His next line ot communica tion is 12 miles to the north. In this sector, however, the allies have to deal with the Herman crown prince, who does not desire to he (he i'ir-t Gi'rnmn ooTmnnder to irivc the order to itUcut.

Oct. 4 An entirely new order in secrecy has been established in Kurope within the last two months. For the first time In the war. "'nobody Knows an thing" about the allied plans in the west! Military men credit the unified command with bringing this about. Foeh and the generals command ing the armies under his direction have made secrecy a ror.Mty instead of a joke. Xo longer ran yon find In London, or Paris, or Rome thc.:e dangerous persons who "know all about It" and would tell all they Knew. And the mischief of It was that they did know a lot of things! Such persons dropped out of sivht about the time Koch struck first along the Marno. They havtu't "come back." The I'och snrprls-oy, which have thns become possible, surprise the nM'ed countries now j"Rt as cum plrtely a a they nirprise the Hermans. Only one man in Paris, It Is said, knew what was going to happen at the Marno. It is safe to say not more th;m one man In London knew vl:y' was coming later 5oa tlm llrith'h front.

Thurs- j day, Oct. 3. t Hy Associated Press.) i Two concrete emplacements for big ' guns were discovered west of Varen- nes when New York troops advanced along the eastern edge of the Ar- gdnno forest a few days ago. The guns had been removed, but engi neers believe that they were Austrian 30. Vh. j The emplacements were one. hun-' dred yards apart and apparently, were built more than a year ago. I liig guns were scattered thru the' Argonne Torest and from day to day have 'bo::n taken by advancing New ; York yoldles's. f Many of tlio roads lending from the Argouno forest to Mont Faueon and to Malancourt were barred by j concrete pillars as a precaution , against the operation of allied tanks. ' At safo distances behind these pillars, anti-tank gun positions have been found. These i:i ninny places were' built of concrete. These concrete po-; sltlons were for the most part behind j the main defensive positions thru) which the Americans broke.
