French Gain Montdidier in
New Blow; Capture 100 Guns
By EARLE C. REEVES,
Staff Correspondent of the International News Service.
LONDON, Aug. 10 (12:55 p, m.)—Allied troops have entered
Montdidier, on the southern end of the Picardy front, it was learn
ed by the International News Service this afternoon. The French
attacked at 9 o’clock this morning on a 16. mile front between
Montdidier and the Oise River, advancing four miles in the first
six hours. One hundred more German guns were captured. |
All of Montdidier had not been cleared of Germans and fighting
was still in progress in the city. After the Allies had surrounded
the city the troops that entered encountered some German units
and began wiping them out.
At 10:30 this morning the French line was said to extend from
Faverolles past Piennes, Rollet, Cuvilly, Ressons sur Matz and
Vignemont.
Of the 24,000 prisoners captured in the Picardy offensive, 7,000
were taken by the French.
The British line at 9 o’clock this morning was reported to
extend through the sectors of Dernancourt, Tailles Wood, Chipilly,
Proyart, Lihons, Meharicourt, Roueroy, Bouchoir, Boussicourt and‘
Gratibus. |
The fall of Montdidier forced the Germans back out of gun
range of the Paris-Amiens Railway. |
Chaulnes Junction is being shelled by the Allies and Canadian
cavalry forces are hampering the removal of German stores.
Chaulnes is now useless to the Germans, |
The developments may force the Germans to retreat all the
way behind the Somme.
The total number of guns captured from the Germans is now
put at 300.
The maximum infantry advance, over 20 miles of the front, is
12 miles.
# (Cavalry forces are far in front of the infantry and the state
ment that the Allies’ deepest advance is 15 miles included the dis
tance covered by the horsemen ahead of the foot soldiers.) ‘
It is difficult to see how the Germans can hold any of their line
west of the Somme, a distance of seven miles, or can cling to the
mnd westward of the Noyon-Nesle canal, a distance of 12 miles.

been captured since the Anglo-French counter offensive was opened
in Picardy on Thursday morning, the War Office announced today.

Montdidier to the Ancre, é
French successes on the southern end of the offensive zone now
threaten the German hold on Montdidier.
The villages of Le Trenquey, Le Fretoy and Assainvillers, all
in the Montdidier sector, have been captured by the French.
Australian and Canadian troops on the center drove forward,
r&uflng five more villages. They are Bouchoir, Meharicourt,
ns, Rainecourt and Proyart,
| (By International News Service.)
PARIS, Aug. 10.—Montdidier has been ‘‘pocketed’’ by the
French, according to the communique issued by the War Office to
day, which chronicled a further advance and the capture of several
more villages.
Gains were made by the French both north and south of Mont.
didier.
North of Montdidier the French captured Davenscourt.

Senate Approves Law
Against Tipping and
-
Orders Hotel Notices
By a vote of 23 to 5 the anti
lipping bill wag adopted by the
Georgia Senate Saturday as
pasged previously by the House,
except for an amendment provid
ing that hotels and cases and
gimilar public places with attend
ar.ts shouid be required to post
large signs conspicuously, giving
notice to the public that tipping
of employees is against the law.
There was a rather lively de
hLate refore the bhill was passed.
Senator Denny spoke against it,
and sajd that unsetticd labor con
ditions in this State would be
complicated still further by the
enaction and enforcement of
such a law. Senator Hopkins said
it was “another blow at the ne
gro,” and gave notice that he
expected to introduce a moticn to
reconsider the measure. Senator
Davison said that such a bill was
beneath the importance and dig
nity of the Legislature and should
rot be considered by it.
On the other side, Senator
Brown, Senator Becl and Sena
tor Elder spoke for the bill, call
ing attention to discriminatory
service under the tipping system,
especially at places like the Ter
minal Station.
“The porters will besiege a
prosperous looking man, trying to
get hig luggage, and never see a
p:yr woman with three or four
sriall children, who really needs
their services,” said one speaker,
They agreed that hotels and other 1
public institutions should pay
their employees adequately and
relieve thé pbulic conscience of
any burden in the matter.
Bond Election Bill Is |
The bond election bill, designed spe
cifically for the bencfit of Atlanta,
and passed by the House, was passed
unanimously early Saturday afternoon
by the Senate.
The bill provides that any Georgla
County with a city of more than 150,-
000 may vote btonds by the approval
of two-thirds of the voters casting
ballots in the election. The old meth
od, which recently defeated the wa
terworks bonis in Atlanta, required
that two-thirds of the total registered
vote be cast in favor of the bonds.
A bill of the same import, but gen
eral in its scepe, is pending in the
House, but fear of its not getting by
inspired the originators of the suc
cessful measure to put forward a re
stricted one which would permit At

plan.

‘Urges That Appropriations Be
. .
~ Kept Within the Present
~ Income of the State,
With the special message from
Governor Dorsey, urging the (General
Assembly to get together on the ap
propriations and tax bills, the House
of Representatives Monday morning
will take up the appropriations bill,
which has been so amended in the
Senate a 8 to cot off about $2,000,000
in appropriations from the bill origi
nally passed by the House,
Governor Dorsey’'s message was
read in both Houses Saturday morn
ing. It deals with three subjects—
finance, health and highways. The
principal part of the message, how
ever, is devoted to the question of
finances, and thé necessity for imme
diate action to increase the revenues
of the State, not only to meet the ap
propriations for next year but to take
up the deficiency of last year. He
figures that January 1, 1919, provided
the House appropriations bill is
adopted, there will be a deficit in the
State treasury of $1,638,608.99.
Urges Sane Budget.
“It is seen by an examination of
the figures submitted that you have
taken no steps to increase through
the medium of a general revenue law
the income of the State,” Governor
Dorsey says “If the measure pro
rosed by that branch of your hon
orable body empowered to originate
appropriations is adopted, vou place
Georgia in a worse condition by
$2.686,809.80 than any previous Gen
eral Assembly. 'The deficit which
you helped to create by your legis
lation in 1917, amounting to $1,638,-
608.99, is large enough, and should
not, it is respectfully submitted, be
materially increased at this session.
To permit this condition to exist is
unbusinesslike, but to materially in
crease the deficiency would spell IN
EFFIENCY in capital letters.”
The Governor's message has been
printed, and every member of the
House will have a copy of it before
him when the apvoropriations bill is
called up Monday morning by Joe Hill
Hall, chairman of the appropriations
committee,
The House Saturday morning voted
down a motion to have a Saturday
afternoon session, and agreed to stay
in session until 2 o'clock. About 1
o'clock, however, after a number of
bills had been passed, it was neces
sary to adjourn because of the in
ability of the Speaker to get a quo
rum and keep a quorum in the House,

The finishing touch to any home is
the draperies. The cheer and comfort
of the rooms are lacking with barren
or poorly draped windows. You should,
therefore, give your windows very
careful thought in planning the deco
rations of your home,
Most women appreciate the impor
tance of buying good draperies, but
they overlook the fact that the cur
tain rod may either mar or enhance
the effect desired. A cheap, flimsy
rod has no place in the modern home,
and as the housewives realize this fact
more fully they turn to the Kirsch
Flat Rod as the perfect curtain rod.
You want curtains to go up easily,
and you want them to stay up. You
want them to comie down easily, but
not acc'dentally. You get all these
things in Kirsch Flat Rods.
You don't like to see a rod all turned
black and tarnished. Your rods will
stay new if you use Kirsch Flat Rods.
Go tomorrow and see them fully
demonstrated and at the same time
see the immense displays of curtain
goods, draperies, floor coverings, bed
spreads, ete,, at the Home Art Supply
Company's big four-story building,
No. 172 Whitehall street. Here's
where your credit will secure the
things most needed to make the
“home heautiful.”—Advertisement ,
