SALIENTS DISAPPEARING; L
MUCff OF PICARDY RETAKEN
(By the Associated Press.)
- All along, the western'battlefront the
Germans continue to give ground daily,
the trend of events accentuates.the in*
security of the German lines and. tho
inability of the German: high command
to hold! back the-aggressors.
Where two months ago great salients
projected1 into the allied front, these
have been flattened or are in process
of being blotted out and in some instances theh allies themselves have
"'driven in wedges that seriously' mcir-
.ace the enemy.
i WU'ti. the- Marno- and Plcardy- sectors
now very-' nearly alt reclaimed the
wings of the present allied offensive
are moving. In a manner that bodes1ill

on the Lys salient southwest ot Ypres
{[gradually. Is bending' in under the voluntary retirements of tho Germans
and!, the- pressure of Field1 Marshal
iHkig*"S forces; Following the. fall! of
Kemmel the allied'line has: been moved
farther forward until- it now rests almost on the Estaires-La Bassee road,
less, than seven miles southwest of Armentieres. By the wiping out of thlsj
salient the menace to the channel ports
has been overcome. On the southern
;wing, north of, Soissons, the French
and Americans are continuing their
progress' notwithstanding the violent
opposition of the enemy.   The villages

Rail costs and would be' prepared to
I'make great sacrifices to that end.  He
ihas in line some of the best troops
at. his. disposal,, including the Prus-
s...n. Ouards   and   some   marine bat-
talions.   Two of, these advanced to the
ftcounterattack at 12:30 midday, supported by a furious barrage directed
on,all our. positions'; At the same time
from north of the Scarpe, he. directed
a flanking fire not only on our in-
[if&ntry, but' on our gun positions.

•was made more difficult by the partial exposure of both our flanks, the
enemy on-the-left having, worked, his

as an indication that it is the intention of the* Germans to retreat in this

through. Bringing a strong force of
tanks into action, English and Canadian divisions advanced to the attack
early in the morning on a front of
12% miles between the Arras-Cambral road and southeast of Bapaume
near Briei and St. Christ were frustrated. Between the Somme and *.he
Oise the French launched strong attacks against our canal positions nnd
the massif northeast of Noyon.
"They recaptured Hendecourt,
which had been temporarily lost.
"After warding off the enemy they
advanced themselves to the attack and
threw him back on hoth sides of
Bullecourt and beyond the western
border of the village.
"South of Ecoust-St. Mein, West
Prussian regiments in bitter fighting
beat back several attacks of the
enemy. The intervention, on his own
initiative, of First Lieut. Mann with
companies of infantry regiment No.
205 rendered possible the recapture of
Ecoust, which had been temporarily
lost.
"On both sides of Bapaume, Prussian, Saxon and Bavarian regiments
caused the enemy assault to break
down.
"In the afternoon the enemy threw
fresh divisions into the battle on both
sides of the Arras-Cambrai road. The
bringing into action of further masses
of tanks and infantry was intended to
secure a decision. Late in tbe evening the battle was decided in our
favor. ,
Zensee   Region
"Dense lines of tlie enemy storming
from the Zensee region beyond Eter-
pigny and llaucourt and south of the
road from Vish-en-Arteois to Cherissy
broke down under our lire and bitter
hand-to-hand fighting. His tanks
were shot to pieces. The enemy's infantry suffered exceptionally heavy
losses.
"North of the Somme British attacks
between Morval and Clery were repulsed. Where the enemy reached
our lines our counterattacks threw him
back to the positions of departure,
"North of the Oise, the French, with
strong forces, attacked on the canal
sector between Libermont and northwest of Noyon. Their attacks for the
most part were brought to a standstill on the west bank, under our fire.
After severe fighting the enemy was
again thrown out of Chevilly, on the
east bank.
"Attacks carried out several times
from Noyon collapsed under our fire
and through our counterthrusts.
There have been violent ^artillery
fighting and infantry battles' on the
Ailette.
"North of Soissons we took back the
front section around Pasly and along
the short line between Juvigny and
Bucy-le-Long. In yesterday's attack
of the enemy, Juvigny remained in
their hands.
"In the last two days 12 hostile machines have been brought down."

after the sanguinary battle of the previous day. There were movements,
north and south, our capture of Artillery hill on Wednesday enabling the
Scottish divisions fighting on the left
flank of the Canadians, north of the
Scarpe, to storm. and consolidate
Greenland hill.
The enemy still pours a heavy shell-
fire from the heights around Coppy.
To the south of us other British troops
did splendid work yesterday, generally
advancing their line and thus relieving
our hard pressed right flank. It
rained again last night, adding to the
difficulties of the troops, but early
this morning they went over the top
and captured the enemy trench system
east of Cherissy, where we were held
up Wednesday.

Former Nelson Man was Red Triangle
Officer on Board Troop
Train.
A. B. Godfrey has returned from the
east, where he has been as welfare officer of the Y, M. C. A. on troop trains.
Mr. Godfrey went east with a train of
draft men from Sarcee camp and while
in the east visited Petawawa camp,
where the first Y. M. C. A. canteen
to be installed in an airplane camp
in Canada has just been completed.
ln speaking of "Yh work with the
troop trains Mr. Godfrey explained that
special authority for the employment
of Y. M. C. A. officers on troops trains
was contained in orders from the department of militia. Trains conveying
200 or more soldiers from district
headquarters, ports of embrarkation or
camps of concentration may be provided with an officer representing the
if. M. C. A. whose duty is to look
after the welfare of the men.. Mr. Godfrey said: '"l never traveled with a
more cheerful  bunch."
The work on the troop train Is
most interesting. It is there the first
real personal contact service of the
Y'. begins. It is during this period
that the first real touch of lonesome-
ness faces the boys; it is then the Y.
C. A. gels in its good wok.
'As soon as the drafted boys bid
goodbyo to loved ones at the station
they fall into the care of the Y. M.
C. A., whose workers are now on all
troop trains. As an introduction the
Y' man addresses each car of men
and tells them of the reason of his being with them. He explains that he
is entirely at their service and further
informs them as to where the 'Y' is
to be found between home and the
front line trenches.
'As the train moves along the 'Y'
man comes through with an armful of
magazines. Next he brings writing paper, postcards and literature. The *YP
man is never idle. When not distributing literature, games and other little
supplies he is drifting through the cars
stopping here and there to comport
some boy who is heading away from
home, discussing personal affairs with
one another or wording telegrams to
relatives whom they wish to see at
passing stations. These are but a few
of the duties of the officer from 1
o'clock in the morning until after midnight. I
The average troop train carries
about 500 men and of those from Alberta a great many were from the
country. To them the journey was
full of Interest. Two 'Y' men are detailed to look after a contingent of this
size as it requires a train of 14 cars
nd one man could not make the
rounds and attend to the demands for
his services.
Canteens have been installed on
troops trains at the request of the military authorities and from the canteens
the men are supplied with writing material, games and -other comforts free
of charge. Soft drinks, fruits, cigarettes, chocolate bars and other articles can be purchased at wholesale
price. The best quality of goods only
ire handled and disposed of under the
agreement that, no profit is made out
of the canteen.
To give an idea of the demand on
the canteen," Mr. Godfrey said, "over
15,000 cigarettes, 24 cases of soda water, IB cases of oranges and apples, 10
bunches of bananas, 10 cases of biscuits and foui' cases of candy were
disposed of in four days and then all
orders were not filled.
"It is interesting to note that nearly
60 per cent of letters and ca-rds mailed
on the four-day trip referred to were
addressed to mothers and the remainder
to fathers, brothers, sisters and sweethearts. Nearly 5000 sheets of 'Y* paper
and 2000 postcards were mailed.
Every evening by the grouping of
three cars in one, a "sing-song" was
held. Song sheets were distributed
and everyone sang the favorite songs.
The most notable feature of such
gatherings was the demand by the
boys for their favorite hymns. During
these evening gatherings the 'Y' man
gave talks on some of the things the
boys must need In the life before
them,"
During his stay in the east, Mr.
Godfrey visited camps at Petawawa,
Ottawa, Borden and Toronto, where
the "Y" is working. He said that the
Red Triangle club at Toronto was open
to all men in uniform and that it was
one of the busiest places in that city.
He said that he had seen Malcolm
Thompson, C. C. Cooper and seve*nl
other boys nnd that thcy were all
looking welt and happy. "Bob" Harrison was at Calgary and had just obtained six weeks' leave and might visit
Nelson before returning to duty.

KEMMEL   AGAIN   IN   BRITISH
HANDS.
When the British were forced out
of possession of Kemmel hill two or
three months it was felt that the loss
was a serious one to tbe allies on the
western front. Kemmel hill had been
regarded as impregnable, except to
an encircling movement. No frontal
assault^could bring about Its capture,
in the opinion of military men who
had studied the position. Hence it
was felt that if tho British could not
hold Kfemmel thero was great danger
of still/more significant German successes on the western front
But now Kemmel is once more In
British hands. It has been captured,
not as the result of a frontal attack,
but as a consequence of the general
advanto of the allies having forced
a German retirement on a wide'front.
This 18 one ot the points which Is Included in the gains made in the mag-   .
-a*. . , .i.      „„*  BH,ui, l Will .Reap in Bitterness
nificen^ victories    of thc past so-M^   nm ^ ^ tWngs honest mm
weeks. *■ •-&■'■
Apparently the Germans did not attempt to hold Kemmel as'a local
stronghold. They were forced out of
it much more easily than were the
British last spring.
Kemmel may or may not be of much
military importance, bu* its comfifld-
ing position has given it value from
a viewpoint of morale at least. Certainly any loss to the allied cause
which was sustained when the hill
fell into Hun hands has now been
more than offset. It has been retaken and with it a great number of
other places on the battlefront which
have been the scenes of sanguinary
battles Jn the past.
ONE  ARCH  TRAITOR THE  LES*?
If Nikolai Lenine is dead no tears
will be shed by any of the entente
peoples. It is unfortunate that he
ever lived.
A traitor to Russia, the Russian
people and their honest endeavors to
gain a democratic government he sold
his country and the finest ideals of
his people for a mess of dirty German gold and a few months of power.
Lenlne was in correspondence with
his Hun friends all the time that he
was conspiring for the overthrow of
Kerensky. He never severed his relations with them, Always he took orders from Berlin.
His signature to thc treaty of Brest-
Lltovsk placed thc seal upon his great,
betrayal of his country and the higher ideals of civilization.
His death, if the report to that effect be true, may help to pave the
way for the ousting of the Germans
from Russia and the reestablia?T-
ment of a stable government.
GOOD
ROADS    ADD
VALUES
TO     LAND
ln the state of Indiana, the average
belling price of land has been increased' about ?(i.4S per acre by improved roads. The Indiana farmers
estimate that improvement of alU'oads
would Increase average land values
?9 per acre. They estimate, also,' the
average annual'loss due to poor roads
at 76 cents per acre, which, capitalized
at 6 per cent, represents a deprecla
tlon of $12.G7 per acre. Another in
quiry carried on by the office of road
inquiry at Washington, shows that the
increase in land values due to good
roads ranges from $5 to ?20 per acre.
Nothing can show better than these
figures how valuable an asset good
roads are.
One of the first things the prospec
tive purchaser of a farm wants to
know about a district is the distance
from the railway station and the
character of the road from the station
to the farm.
For .the dairy farmer, the fruit and
vegetable grower, and for the producer
of perishable commodities of all kinds,,
ability to get his products to market
at all seasons of the year and in all
kinds of weather is undoubtedly indispensable to success.' For all kinds
of .eneral farming, therefore, a good
country' highway Is essential to the
most profitable operation of the farm
pnd t° anv considerable development
of agriculture at a distance from a
market town or shipping station.
Primarily, the benefits of good
country highways go to the farmer,
but less directly they go to the merchants and manufacturers by giving
them wider markets for their goods
and by decreasing the cost of distribution. In road improvement lies one
of the greatest opportunities for general advancement, and farmers associations, good roads committees, automobile associations and others can do
much to further this work.
Good roads are an essential not only
to farmers but to the lumber arid
mining industries and to the development of tourist travel.
The allies are rapidly getting back
into and beyond their old front line
positions.
Once moro a British army is hammering at Lens, which was the scene
of much fighting by the Canadians
prior to the big German advance of
last spring.
Berlin official reports continue to
say a whole lot about "repulse of
British attacks" and mighty little
about the scores of positions which
are falling to the allies in their stca'dy
advance.
Spain is carrying out its threat to
seize interned German ships to replace
Spanish vessels destroyed by Hun
pirates, Thc significance of the action
lies in the fact that It shows that
Spain no longer fears Germany. It
Is convinced that the Germans can
not win	
| WHAT THE PRE83 18 8AYING j
will not stand; and the German at sea
Is one of them. Not for a generation,
and very likely more than one, will the
German put to sea without some peril
to himself. When he struck at the
brotherhood of the sea he struck at a
power as wide as the sea, as strong
and pitiless. Seamen have long
memories, and minds untainted by
money, for money does not come their
way. They cannot be bribed to trade
with the German, Were it no more
than a matter of self-defense, the
seaman would still be constrained to
teach the German his lesson. There
are people who argue that the prospect of receiving a part of their dues
after the war encourages the poor
misguided Germans to go on fighting.
But whether thoy go on or not, they
cannot undo the past. They will reap
as they have sown.—London Morning
Post.
Foul Fighter, Bad Loser
The German is a foul fighter. He
is also a bad loser. He wants to play
always with stacked cards. He violates the rules of war when he sees
advantage to himself in violating
them. But as soon as he begins to
suffer from their violation he begins
to whimper and asks for a return to
civilized practises. — New York
Tribune.

I SEE THE VALLEYS
I see the valleys in their morning mist
Wreathed under limpid hills in moving light,
Huppy with many a yeoman melodist:
1 see  tho little roads of twinkling
white
Busy wilh fieldward teams and market gear
Of'rosy  men,   cloth-gaitered,   who
."  can tell
The   many-minded   changes   of   the
year   .   .   .
I see the sun persuade the mist away,
Till town and stead are shining to the
day.
I see the wagons move along the rows
Of    ripe    and     summer-breathing
clover-flower,
I  see   the  lissom   husbandman   who
knows
u
Deep in his heart the beauty of his
power,
As,   lithely. pitched,   the   full-heaped
fork bids on
The harvest home.   I hear the rick-

With gossip as in generations gone,
While  wagon follows   wagon   from
the hill.

l*alph D. Paine, who is Just back
'rijm the allied fleets, spent some time
in, Dunkirk, the French port so near
tlie front that German aviators can
Visit it night after night. In his
tiook, "The fighting Fleets," he tells
(of the spirit in which the citizens of
Dunkirk meet these raids.
"Another bomb was dropped, falling somewhat closer to the square of
Jean Bart. Then there came to our
ears a different sound—musical, full-
throated, uplifting—the song of great
bells. It was no jangled alarm.* The
bells were attuned and chiming. They
rang out a melody, a chant brave and
martial which was flung from tho high
belfry tower for and wide over the tormented city. They were vibrant with
the spirit of Dunkirk. They were mag-
niflcently defiant. Down in the cellar one voice after another started to
sing the refrain in unison with ho
bells. The portly merchant raised his
head and rumbled a basso while the
lieutenant carried a tenor. The landlord was beating time with his crutch.
The children, sitting up In their cols,
piped up in tones sweet and shlll. The
great bells were quiet for a moment
beforo swinging into the chorus again,
and during the lull thc landlord's wife
explained, with shining eyes:
"They are singing it many cellars.
Always it Is done. And always In
the belfry, when tho Bochcs como to
bombard, tho chimes play the 'Hymn
of Jean Bart.'"
"An old song—a song which Dunkirk
loves," cried the naval officer. "This
is why thc Boches try so hard to bomb
the belfry—to silence the 'Hymn of
Jean Bart.'"
tallon under his command had disgraced itself, and contemplated wiping out the disgrace with his own life.
The emperor, however, exacted from'
him a promise that he would not take
that.step while he (the emperor) lived.
Meanwhile, Nogl became one • of
Japan's greatest soldiers. His memorable achievements in the war with
Russia made him one of the idols of
his countrymen. But he had not forgotten his early vow. Within a few
hours of the death of his sovereign
he and his wife killed themselves in
the old samurai way. He remained
true to the ancient code.—Victoria

GERMAN  BRUTALITY  BEYOND |
DESCRIPTION. j
COMING "THE FIGHTING TRAIL,"
<$>	
The German bombing of the British
hospitals in France is an act in regard
to which ordinary language falls. The
sweeping of the beds of the wounded
with machine gun lire, and the ruth*
less killing of the devoted nurses and
attendants who remained at their duty,
is an abomination which seems to remove the German from tho pale of
humanity. Amid its horrors the one
redeeming feature is the heroism of
the women who refused to desert their
posts and met death and wounds along
with the helplesB men who lay on their
beds. Thc rest Is brutality beyond all
characterization. Throughout the war
the airmen have' been insistent in Imputing chivalrous conduct to one another and havo paid honors to their
fellows, even of German race, who
have fallen. An Incident such as that
which is recorded this morning may
well shake a faith which has survived
many shocks. It would be repugnant
to all feelings to give honors of war
to the men who ha-i* deliberately taken
part in any outrage'of so gross und callous a kind.—Westminster Gazette.

THEIR  ANCIENT CODE
The pathetic sequel to the stranding
of the Canada Maru illustrates the
veneration in which Japanese hold a
well known code of their ancient chivalry. According to that code Capt.
Yamamoto felt that the misadventure
which befell his ship involved him in
disgrace and that his only honorable
course was to sacrifice himself in expiation. That, not tho fear of punishment for what had happened to his
vessel, was the motive which Inspired
him to make an end to himself. In
western eyes It is regrettable that the
captain considered himself bound to
take this course, for ho was a most
efficient and courteous officer and the
stranding of his ship was surrounded
by highly extenuating circumstances.
In Tokio is a shrine which all Japan
venerates, nnd on which Prince
Arthur recently laid a wreath. It
was erected in memory of Nogi, the
victor of Port Arthur, who took his
own life immediately following the
death of the late emperor. Many
years before that Nogi, then a subordinate officer, considered that a bat-

AN  ARMY  OF  HUDSON'S  BAY  COMPANY'S  BUYERS,  OPERATING   IN   EASTERN   MARKETS,   REPORT   GREAT   CAPTURES
"I    DON'T   SEE   WHY   THAT
SHOULD BE $18.50 AND HALF
COTTON AT THAT1"
This remark was passed by a
shrewd buyer of apparel recently and the retort was quick
to come from the manufacturer's
agent.   Said he—
"A 12-inch gun disposes of
half a bale of cotton with every
shot fired,
"A machine gun in operation
will use up a bale in three
months.
"In a naval battle' like that
off Jutland, from 5000 to 6000
pounds a minute are consumed
by each active warship.
"It takes more thbn 20,000
bales a year to provide absorbent cotton to staunch the
wounds of the injured.
"One change of apparel for all
the troops now engaged in the
war represents more than 1,000,-
000 bales.
"One hundred bales will be
required to equip the proposed
airplane fleet if cotton supplants
linen far wings.
"The U. S. A. is now turning
1,000,000 bales a year into explosives alone."

Gem.
Something practically unprecedented
in the production of motion pictures
occura in Hcssie .liarricale's second.
Paralta play, "Within the Cup." which
will be thc attraction at the Gem
theatre for two days, commencing today.
In the entire, drama, which is seven
reels in length, there is but one exterior setting. All the scenes, with
the exception of the very tew whb-h
wero taken In this setting, were filmed
inside the vast glass Inclostire of the
Paralta studio in Los Angeles, California. Tho one exterior presents a society lawn fete and even this required
a great deal nf adornment and embellishment by the art director to gain
the atmosphere of an elaborate soclty
gathering.
In consequence of the fact that there
was but one exterior set and because of
tbe luxurious and bizarre scenes which
the story demanded,' the picture necessitated the construction of a great
number and "variety of interior stt-
tlngs. Thc result, however, is gratifying, for the finished picture, though
much more time, labor and expense
were entailed in its production, so far
surpasses the average screen drama
in Us artistry that it canont be brought
into a comparison. Credit for Its elaborateness is nlue both to 'R. Paul
Holmes, technical director, and Raymond II. West, who directed the production of this Paralta play.   \%
Starland Theatre.
Fernandc de Ferney, the neglected
girl wife in "The Marionettes," played
hy Clara Kimball Young and her own
company under the direction of Em He
Chaulard, and distributed by Select
Pictures, which will be shown at the
Starland theatre tonight, is a characterization ia whicli this gifted actress
gives free rein to her whimsical humor
as well as the emotional portrayals
which have made her famous.
"The Marionettes" deals with the
tftinsCormatloii oE a dowdy wife, convent schooled and country bred, who
determines to win her husband's love.
From an unattractive little frump with
personal surroundings as drab as herself, she suddenly blossoms out into
a gay Parisian butterfly and her surroundings take on a metamorphosis as
complete as her own. As the inevitable result her husbands discovers his
love for her.
Miss Young's study of the chrysalis
wife is one of the most interesting roles
she has created, and is a worthy successor tit her long series of successes.

ON JUDGE FORIN'S LAWN
Judge J. A. Forin yesterday killed a
porcupine on the front lawn of his
residence on Cedar street. It was
thought that the porcupine had come
down over the bluff but the attraction which had made him bold enough
to enter the city could not be guessed. The porcupine's plump condition
showed he had lived well and had evidently experienced no serious Wartime rationing.

Rev.   Walter   Daniel   of   Vancouver
Preaches at  Reopening
Meetings.
Special reopening services, conducted by. Rev. Walter Daniel, missionary
evangelist of the Baptist church In
British Columbia, assisted by Rev. W.
K Scott of Trail and Dr. N. Wolverton, were held- at the Baptist church
yesterday.
Last eveniag.a service flag was hung
;in the church which shows 35 mem--
Jbers serving at the front. Tbe number includes two red crosses and one
maple leaf for a man killed in action.
At the morning: service Mr. Daniel
complimented the congregation on its
accomplishments. He chose for his
text' Romans, chapter 1, verses 14 and
15. Ho pointed out the debt which the
moral forces of the church owed to
the citizens of the city. This was
Paul's view on life when he said, "I
am debtor to Greeks and barbarians
vboth to the wise and the unwise." Paul
-hadi something better than the Greeks
had, even with all! thoir culture. He
had the gospel! not simply for himself,
but that ho might pass it on to the
people and in making the gospel known
he looked on the Groeks and barbarians asL his creditors. The speaker
pointed out that the church was in its
community to give that community
the best it had. The church existed to
serve tho community and to meet its
greatest need which was its spiritual
need.
In the evening Mr. Daniel spoke on
the healing of the blind man, Luke,
chapter 18, vorsos 40 and 41. He made
a gospel appeal to his audience and
pointed out the power of Christ and
that Christ always placed his power at
the disposal- of humanity. The blind
men had taken advantage of the opportunity. He went on to explain that
Christ had the only poww on earth
which'could restore sight to that bllhd
man. Christ used that power for the
uplift of the man but, although lie had
supernatural power he always used
natural means when available. He
recognized the need of the blind man
when ho restored his sight. Also the
blind man had taken advantage of the
first opportunity which came his way.
The purpose of! Christ was to enlarge
the blind man's life and to make a
new world for him. He showed how
tho men present had been used to carry
out tlte miracle and said that the
church must likewise do its share in
the work to be done in tho present
world.
The choir, under the leadership of W.
Pascoe, rendered special music as both
sevlces, including a duet by Misses
Agnes Lawson and Charlotoe Notman
and a solo by Miss Louise Waters.
Mr. Daniel will be In the city all
week and is staying at the Y. M. C. A.
He will conduct services in tho Baptist
church each evening this week except Saturday.
