Manager of the Zakas Bakery Is
Accused of Violation of the
i et
Prohibition Laws.
A warrant charging a violation of
the lederal law against transporting
lquor into the State was sworn out
saturday by D. J. Gannt, local reve
nue agent, against Eli Kavouras, part
owner and general manager of the
Zakas Bakery Company, and agents
of the United States Government are
searching for Mr. Kavouras,
According to Mr, Gannt, four quarts
of whisky were found in a barrel of
cgg powder consigned to the Zakas
yakery., The whigky was buried be
neath the lovse powder in the barrel
and was described as “cake flavor
ing.”
Such fMavoring undoubtedly would
serve to popularize the product of any
bakery,” said Mr, Gannt, “but unfor
tunately it is a variety frowned upon
by the Government.”
“I'he whole shipment might much
better have been billed as highly
condensed eggnNog.
Internal revenue officers in all sec
tions of the country are vigilantly
watchful of all shipments of this
character, and the Government is de
termined to make these friendly little
exchanges hazardous in the extreme,
The consignor of this shipment al
ready has been arrested in another
city. .
\ccording to Paul Carpenter, as
gistant United States attorney. who
will conduct the case against Kavou
s, the violation permits of inidct
ments on two counts—one for bring
ng liquor into the State and the
‘:;],‘, tor falling to mark it “whisky.”
The maximum fines on the two counts
may be $6,000, with an alternative of
six months in prison

This map indicates roughly the
Allied advance in Picardy, accord
ing to such information as was
available at noon. It is necessa
rily a rule of thumb job, hecause
information is fragmentary and
in some instances contradictory.
In the turmoil of such a great
advange it is the height of dif
ficulty for the army staffs to keep
track of the line of combat, to
say nothing of tracing it from
press dispatches.
The broken line at the left
shows the front when the ad
vance began; the solid line in the
middle, the front at the end of
the first day's fightirg: the
broken line irom Albert, through
Chaulnes and on to Montdidier,
the front on Saturday.
The line is a very ragged and
disjointed looking affair. But this
fact is to be borne in mind: the
fighting is in oven country, over
a front of many miles, and the
attackers do not move forward
shoulder to shoulder, Once hav
ing driven the enemy out of Lis
intrenchments, the attackers pros
gress In columns, deployed (or
spread out) only to such extent
as the lay of the land will per
mit. Some columns naturally
move faster than others, having
suffered less from fatigue; some
find better roads; they encounter
varying degrees of resistance.

The line sketched here is not
even wholly the line of the in
fantry. It places the Allies east
of Chaulnes, and there is no re
port yet that the British have
reached that town, although tanks
and cavalry are reported to be
two miles east of it.
. - . .
The opinion was ventured yes
terday in this comment that the
gains of Thursday and Friday
morning would make it necessary
for the Germans to evacuate
Montdidier. This has taken place,
probably with only rear-guard
resistance. However, a retreat
enforced by superior tactical skill
and by v.ctories elsewhere, is no
less a defeat than a retreat forced
by the bayonets of the“opponent,
though the German War Office
scems to make much in its state
ments of the virtue of having
planned certain withdrawals.
- . .
If the British hold Chaulnes
(and it is quite likely, because
the Huns appacently are demor
alized), the enemy must quickly
straighten out his line, running it
in a southeasterly airection from
Albert all the way to the region
of Noyon,
And if he does not effeet the
necessary withdrawals quickly, he
i# in a fair way to encounter the
greatest disaster since the Italian
line was shattered at Caporetto.

ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1918
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—
The Allies have got the emgmy
going at every point. Now is
the time to keep him running.
This is no time to talk about the
war being over. Rather it is thei
time to hit him hard and keep
on hitting him.
General P. C. March, chief of
staff, in his weekly conference
with the newspaper correspon
dents, made this plain today in
explaining why all possible man
power need be employed agaiust
the Germans. That is the rea
son why the War Department
desires the extension of the
draft ages immediately.
The general declared that the Al
lies everywhere are on the offensive |
and dominate the situation. ‘
“We are now keeping the enemy
guessing, instead of his keeping us
guessing” emphasized the chief of
staff, with a smile.
There are now close to a million
and a half American troops in
France. General March revealed to
the Senate military affairs committee
at their regular conference today. The
movement ¢f men abroad continued |
satisfactorily last week, he said, and
it was the hope of the War Depart
ment to average 250,000 a month dur
Ing the winter
GGeneral March had nothing to add
to the press dispatches received dur-
Ing the day, but asserted that the
progress being made in the new Brit-
Ish drive was “highly satisfactory.” |
Plans for “Backing Up"” Men.
The chief of staff also revealed
plans alrcady made by the War De-|
partracnt for backing up and supply |

the pending “man-power”’ bill, and

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES ON THE PICARDY
l FRONT, Aug. 10., 4:22 p. m.—The prisoners bagged by
l the British and French now total more than 25,000. These
include more than 600 officers and 300 large guns. Twe
giant German guns that were moved about on railroads
also were captured.
One British unit took 800 machine guns.
The Canadians and English have turned many of the
captured cannon on the fleeing Huns.
Several instances have been reported where Boche air
men bombarded their own countrymen who were prisoners
in camps behind the British lines. It is believed the German
aviators bombed them under the impression they were
British troops at concentration points. Heavy casualties
were inflicted on the captured Germans by their own air
men.
A German counter attack early this morning at Chipilly
was repulsed.
One Complete U. S. Division
In Fighting North of Somme
By EARLE C. REEVES,
Staff Correspondent of the International News Service.
' LONDON, Aug. 10 (4:30 p. m.)—One complete Ameri
can division is fighting north of the Somme River, the In
ternational News Service learned late this afternoon.
. The total number of Germans taken prisoners now num
'ber over 25,000. Over 400 guns have been captured.
. French troops have captured Davenscourt and Saulchey.
. The total allied casualties are estimated at less than 6,000,
' while the German losses in killed alone are enormous.
. Two fresh German divisions have been brought to the
front along the Roye road near Lahon, but as yet have not
'been in action. A German division commander and his staff
‘were taken prisoners today.
| The attacks by the French in the Montdidier and Oise re
'gion are meeting little resistance. The Germans are put
ting up a poor fight. The pocket bounded by Bouchoir,
lF averolles, Gratibus and Montdidier probably no longer
exists. 5
l The towns of Bocquigny, Erches, Ethelfay, Fignieres and
}Arvillers probably have been captured.
It is believed here that the Germans will retreat behind the
|Sommc River to the Ime they held in 1916,
