A short distance\nacross the river to the south the British have taken Proyart and midway\non the line have pressed to the oast\nof Fouquescourt in a maneuver which\nhas resulted In the further outflanking of Chaulnes from the south and of\nRoye from the north.\nThe French In thc rolling country\nimmediately north of the Oise river\nhavo captured Gury, a position of\ngreat strategic value, lying southwest\nof Lasslgny and at several other points\nsouthward to the region of the Oise\nhave advanced their line further toward Noyon.\nReports Conservatives.\nIn Monday's fighting hundreds of\nadditional Germans were made prisoner and the enemy lost heavily in\nmen killed and wounded.\nUnofficial reports give tho number\nof Germans captured during thc present offensive as In the neighborhood\nof 40,000.\nThe Germans at last accounts were\nstill throwing reinforcements to tho\neast of the road running through\nChaulnes, Roye and Noyon, the passage of which by tho allies would seriously menace all the Gorman forces\nInsido tho pocket formed by the Somme\non the north and east and the Oise on\nthe south. Not only are the allies endeavoring to proas their advantage\nsouth by frontal attacks, but they have\ndrawn up to their back lines guns of\nmedium and heavy calibre and with\nthese they aro shelling .the areas held\nby the Germans, even as far hack as\nBethancourt, which lies on the Sommo\nijk miles east of Chaulnes. Meantime\nallied airplanes continue to bomb German positions and to use machine\nguns from low altitudes on troop formations.\nImportant Advances\nSeemingly tlio advances by tho\nFrench troops on the southern part of\nthe line cannot but have an extremely\nimportant effect on the present battle.\nThe hill positions they have gained not\nalone dominate the Oise valley running northwestward to Noyon, but\naround Lassigny also give them a\nsweep of the plains south of Roye.\nAside from the Amiens-Montdidier\nsector little fighting has taken place\non any of the fronts. Along the Vesle,\nthe Germans again have delivered violent counterattacks against the\nAmericans and French who are holding ground on the north bank of the\nstream. As on previous occasions\nwhen the enemy attempted to dislodge\nthe allied troops, the counterattacks\nfailed.\nWITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN\nFRANCE, Aug, 12.\u2014During the lull In\nthe battle there are further indications\nlhat the. lino Is hardening. Crown\nPrince Rupprecht of Bavaria seems to\nhave brought in more fresh troops and\nwhile the allied forces are pausing of\ntheir own accord, the enemy, within\nthc area of his new battle front with\nthe Somme at his back, is having a\nmost uncomfortable time.\nGuns Pound Chaulnes.\nThe British guns are hammering\nChaulnes while cannot of larger\ncalibre aro coming up all the time and\ndrenching thc enemy rear with steel.\nThey are also pounding away at the\nbridges across tho Somme at Bethancourt.\nThe shelling of tho bridges here is\nserious matter for tho enemy, as\nbombs from the air are being dropped\nby British airplanes from a low altitude on bridges In the Perrone district.\nThis bombing has been going on day\nand night since the battle began, forcing thc Germans to divert their transport so that tho general movement\nwas southeast. Now his bridges to the\nsoutheast are under heavy fire.\nWith tho comparatively small force\nof Americans thero has been no real\nheavy fighting loday. They aro still\nholding their lino and their patrols\nhave boon sent out now^and then feeling out the foregrouftpi\nAt many places along the new front,\nespecially just south of the Somme,\nthe Germans are occupying the old lino\ndugouts built by the French more than\ntwo years ago. The Germans have\nconcentrated some artillery at many\nplares and today are sending in more\nshells than on any day since the battle\nbegan. Lihons which came into British\nhands yesterday when Field Marshal\nHaig's mon stormed the place after\nhaving been driven out In a counterattack, was being heavily shelled today.\nA party of cavalry, charging down\nthe Roye road ran into the crossfire of\nlarge German pillboxes, studded with\nmachine guns just this side of Roye\nand received a check, but the Germans\nwho happened to get the opportunity\nto do this execution paid the supremo\npenalty later. '\nResistance Stiffens.\nToday the resistance of the enemy\nhas been .stiffening, but his troops appear to bo nervous and apprehensive of\nwhat tiie future holds out for them and\nwhat tlie allies intend to do. In order\nto feel out the allied force it is said\nthat further heavy counterattacks may\nbe launched by the enemy.\nStories of the air -fighting over the\nbattle lines are amazing, one observer coming into his station, shot down\nfour machines. In tho same fighting a\nBritisher chased one enemy machine\nto earth and was swooping down to\nfinish him off when the man climbed\nout of his machine and held up his\nhands in token of surrender.\nSo T didn't kill him,\" the Britisher\nsaid, \"but on my way home I met a\ngroup of enemy machines and got a\nbullet in me, but managed to land inside our lines.\" The report of this incident ends with the statement that\nthe pilot died in a hospital shortly after relating his story.\nA British two-seater shot down two\nonemy machines during a battle royal\nrti the air. The pilot was badly hit\nand fell across his controls. The observer, however leaned forward and\nsecured his camrade's body and managed to get control of the machine.\nHo brought it to earth where it crashed but both the occupants escaped\ndeath.\nAnother pilot during thc course of a\nfight, started for home wounded. When\n10 foot above ground inside his own\nlines, he collapsed from loss of blood.\nAirmen's Valor.\nThere aro du\/.ens ot thrilling tales\n<\\i how machine after machine\nskimmed close to the ground, fired\npoint blank into bodies of enemy\ntroops, killing a great many, in spite\nof tho lire from the ground, and how\nthey wiped out tho crews of enemy\nmachine guns holding up the allied\nadvance. They also attacked the poorly constructed Gorman tanks before\nthey ever had a chance to get into\naction.\nPrisoners from fresh Prussian and\nBavarian divisions have been captured\nin the last few hours.

Hundreds of Germans were\nmade prisoners and the Germans also\nsuffered heavy casualties. The text\nof the communication follows:\nIn succesful attacks today ln the\nneighborhood of the Roye road, east\nof Foquescourt and on tbe south bank\nof the Somme our line has been advanced in each of these localities and\nsome prisoners have been taken.\n'South of the Somme our troops\ncaptured the village of Proyart after\nsharp fighting in which the enemy lost\nheavily in prisoners and men killed.\nThe fighting is continuing i in this\nneighborhood.\n.\"On the right of the British front\ntho French have taken Lesloges,\n\"On the remainder of the British\nfront there is nothing to report.\"\nThe contrast between* the number\nof prisoners taken and the allied casualties Is remarkable; for instance,\nthe casualties of the entire allied\nforces were considerably less than the\nprisoners taken.\nWhen it is understood that this\nbattle has not been waged for the\npurpose of taking prisoners, the casualties inflicted on the Germans must\nhave reached a large figure.\nDesperate Fighting.\nPARIS, Aug. 12\u2014There has blendes\nperate hand to hand fighting during\nthe last two days on the Chaulnes-\nRoye-Lasslgny-Noyon front. The Germans aro defending the ground inch by\ninch, intent on saving the bulk of the\narmies of Gen. von der Marwitz and\nGen. von Hutier, which are retreating\nin the direction of Nestes and Ham.\nThe allied pressure has not been diminished but the Germans have\nbrought up rservces which had been\nintended Cor offensive purposes and\nhave thrown them into the defensive\naction, temporarily delaying the progress of the allies.\nSolid occupation by the Infantry and\nartillery in Chaulnes and Roye would\nbe a critical situation for the Germans\nn their retreat.\nLull Over Battle Lines.\nWITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN\nFRANCE, Aug. 12.\u2014(Router's)\u2014There\nwas a lull over the battlefield this\nmorning. On the front of the French\nfirst and third armies tlie enemy was\nendeavoring to establish himself on\nthe line of Roye-Lassigny and the\nFrench were in contact with him along\nthe greater part of this line, which\nruns two miles in front of Roye and\nthree miles in front of Lassigny.\nThe line extends from Andrechy\nclose to the Amiens-Roye road, through\nDanicourt and Tilloloy and to Gueyy.\nThe enemy's reserves are now taking\npart in the battle which is overground\nthat was covered by the German offensives in March and May of this\nyear. The first three days of allied\nidvance is slowing down and the enemy's fresh divisions replace the broken regiments that met the first shock.\nThe army of Gen. von Hutier with his\nloft resting on the massif of Thies-\ncourt and on the Oise, is safely,well\nplaced for a defensive battle except for\nthe threat of a further advance by the\nBritish along the Amiens-Roye road.\nLight elements of cavalry and cyclists have already penetrated both\npoints, but permanent occupation by\nthe allies and their control of the\nroads leading to NobIcs and Ham\nhave not been obtained. The objectives\nundoubtedly will have to be taken by\nstorm.\nBelieve Ridge Captured.\nLONDON, Aug. 12.\u2014The massif of\nLassigny, three miles northeast of\nGury, was expected to be In the poses-\nslon of the allles.accordlng to military\nopinion, today, based on tse latest news\nfrom the front.

Their losses are extremely\nheavy and their dead lie all over the\nfield. They are found in shell holes\nand nooks, where they vainly sought\nprotection from the French fire.\nAmong them are some survivors who\nare found in every possible hiding\nplace.\nPrivations were endured by the Germans' in the front line recently. This\nwas evidenced by a letter found since\nthe offensive began. It was from an\nofficer, who Informed his relatives in\nGermany that the French artillery had\nbeen furnishing the only meat available by killing horses.\nAnother officer wrote with pride and\nstatisfaction that he was able to send\nalong with his message of love and\nhope a sack of wheat he had just\ngleaned from an.adjoining field.\nA German wireless operator was\nfound at the bottom of a well after\nthe Frehch had advanced over thc\nenemy positions. As evidence of the\nhaste with which the enemy withdrew,\nit may be said that the entire mail of\none regiment made up for transmission to Germany was captured.'\nBerlin Official.\nBERLIN, Aug. 12.\u2014\"On the battle-\nfront between the Ancre and the Avre\nthe day has been quieter,\" says the\nGerman official communication issued\nthis evening.

Two counterattacks against\nthe positions held by'the French and\nAmericans on the Vesle river near\nFismes have been repulsed.\nThe text of the communication follows:'\n\"Between the Avre and the Oise our\ntroops have captured the village of\nGury.

After\na quiet night the Americans were hold'\ning a section of the line at Braye,\nnorth of the Somme. Just south of the\nriver the Germans seem to have strong\nforces in Cateaux wood. While Herl-\nvitle and Chaulnes are considered to\nbe in enemy territory, Australian patrols seem to have been operating\nthere.\nSpasmodic Firing.\nWITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON\nTHE VESLE FRONT, Aug. 12.\u2014(Reu\nter's)\u2014The Germans are shelling the\nVesle front spasmodically, their heavy\nguns apparently being concentrated in\nturn on certain targets. St. Thibaut,\nMont Notre Dame and Fismes have\nbeen chiefly chosen.\nA real attempt to feel out the allied\nstrength has taken the form of an attack at Fismette, a little village northeast of Fismes, This, however, was a\nfailure, as the American shooting was\nso good that not a single man was\nable to enter the village and the assaulting troops retired, leaving a\nfresli sprinkling of dead on the battle\nfield, which already has been fatal to\nso many Germans.\nFight Around Chaulnes.\nLONDON, Aug. 12.\u2014The,British are\nfinding their hardest fighting in the\ndistrict close around Chaulnes, where\nthe Germans are making a desperate\neffort to keep the allies back in order\nto retain the use of the important lateral railways nnd highways out of\nChaulnes.

F. B.\nLivesay, Canadian Press Correspondent.)\u2014(9 p. m.)\u2014During the post two\ndays the Canadian corps has had the\nhonor to receive several distinguished\nvisitors who have congratulated it on\nits splendid work. Among those have\nbeen Sir Douglas Haig and Premier\nClemenceau.\nSir Douglas rode along the Canadian\nbattlefront, stopping to speak to officers anc men at Canadian headquarters. He complimented Sir Arthur\nCurrie, not only on the achievement\nof the corps, but also on the wonderful spirit animating thc men, battle-\nweary after three days of savage fighting, yet whose only desire was to be\nlet loose again on the Boche. The Canadian advanced line has been practically static since Saturday evening.\nWithstand Attacks.\nYesterday the enemy, having brought\nup fresh troops, made a strong counterattack upon our sector but the Canadian infantry was too much for him\nand he retired precipitately, leaving\nmany dead upon the field. It Is, how?\never, a fundamental error and an injustice to our men to describe the enemy as of weakened morale, or to say\nthat his rank and file surrendered?\nfreely. They surrendered In large\ndroves on Thursday because our barrage was behind them and our cold\nsteel upon them, while they lacked entirely any adequate artillery support.\nThese long lines of prisoners, swinging\nsullenly over dusty roads to our rear\nby no means exhibit an army played\nout. In fact, they arc freshly and well\nclothed. Certainly they are a somewhat hetereogeneous lot, fair-haired\nmen of the north, darker races of\nsouthern Germany, Jews, and what appear to be some Slavs. But ln equipment and everything that goes to make\nIt Works* Try It *\n**\u00bb\u25a0*.\u25a0' kW\\\nTells how to loosen a' aore,'\ntender corn to It lifts\n, out without pain.\nGood news spreaus rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispensing\nfreezone, the ether discovery of a Cincinnati man, which is said to loosen\nany corn so it lifts out with the fingers.\nAsk at any pharmacy for a quarter\nounce of freezone, which will cost very\nlittle, but is said to be sufficient to\nrid one's feet of every hard or soft\ncorn or callus.

Beleaguered Amiens has been definitely \\\nrelieved, but with It, too, are relieved\nMontdidier and a great slice of country to the south. The advance of our^\ngallant allies north from the line of y\nthe Matz river is of great significance.\nIt leaves the enemy in the bag, the i\nstring of whose mouth has fast been j\ntightening.

As they draw nearer\nthey see a maze of 15 or 16 searchlights moving restlessly over the town,\nlooking for some machine whose engine has been heard. Suddenly, they\nsee the red flash of a bursting bomb\nand then another and another. At\nonce chains of brilliant, emerald-colored balls of fire pour upwards In\nceaseless lines, filling the sky with\ngreen bubbles of light. The machine\n1b not picked up, however,^and .gradually the lights and shell fire die away.\nTen Thousand Feet Over Nothing.\nNow they aro drawing nearer, and\ntho observer crawls through a little\ndoor into the nose of the machine, examines his bomb bundle, and adjusts\nthe bomb dropping sight. As he kneels,\n10,000 feet over nothing, he is so absorbed in watching the ground that his\nsurrounding seem to him perfectly\nnormal; he is entirely at his ease.\nBelow he sees the black line of the\ncanal which he is using as a guide. He\nturns the pilot to the left with a wave\nof his hand and then again to the right\nand stops him with an unlifted arm.\nAhead he can see the dark mass of\nthe town, and to the left the long\nbassins of the docks. Far to the left\nlies the dark line of the Belgian coast,\nand over Ostend and Zcebruggo move\nthe sentinel searchlights. Bruges lies\ndark and dim, snatching a brief rest\nfrom its tumultuous night.\nThe observer waves his hand and\nthe roar of the engines dies away\ninto silence as tho machines dives\ntowards its target, Ho unstraps his\nbomb handle and leans far over thc\nfront, looking down to the shining,\nwater of the dock, absorbed in following the course of the little metal bar\nof the sight. It touches the docks and\ncrosses them. With a quick gesture\nho guides the pilot to the left, and the\nbar sweeps round and crosses the section of the quay he wishes to attack.\nWhen the Bomb Falls.\nHe checks thc pilot, and hold his\nbomb lever in readiness. Hundreds of\nGermans stand waiting at their guns,\nand machine guns and searchlights\nand green ball machines. The organized hate of a community lies below\nthe observer, but he thinks of nothing\nsave the passage of the metal bar\nacross the black mass between the\ntwo shining strips of water.\nSuddenly-his \"sight\" registers thc\nrange. He pushes the lever forward\nslowly, pulls it back again, and again\npushes it forward, and again and\nagain. From behind there comes the\nclick and clatter of 14 dropping bombs.\nHe shouts to the pilot to turn, and\none huge wing climbs towards the stars\nas the machine sweeps round and away\nfrom the welter of shells and searchlights that the explosion of the bombb\nwill bring.\nGazing downward, the observer sees\nat the edge of the quay a red spurt\nof flame which slowly dies away. Two\nothers follow, in the water where Ho\nthe destroyers and submarines, and\nthen more and more burst on the sheds\nin the middle. A white sheet of flame\nbursts from one shed, and fading slowly leaves a red glare. An ammunition\nstore has been blown up. The other\nbombs burst across the wharveB and\ncrowded bassins, leaving huge clouds\nof white smoke where they have\nwrought destruction.\nInferno Opens\u2014Too Late!\nSimultaneously with the bursting of\nthe first bomb, hundreds of green balls\nsome streaming In swaying (curves\nfrom the ground, and pour upwards\npast the wing's on both sides. Like a\nhandful of ribbons the searchlights\nhave been thrown up, and fill the sky\nwith wands of light which weave a\nfltrnnge pattern all nroimd the ma\nchine. Gun fire flashes round the\ntown, and close to the machine now\nbursts the clamorous barrage.\nIt is an- awe-inspiring din, but\nthrough It the observer has heard the\nthud of tho bursting bombs below. He\nscrambles back to the pilot and\nlaughs. Searchlights sweep to and\nfro, over them, under them, and on\neither side; ceaselessly tiie fantastic\nstrings of green balls bubble upwards\nand the flash of the shells seem to\nfill the whole sky.\nThe machine Toars on homeward\nthrough a maelstrom of flame and\nfire. The attack has been pressed\nhome, and in the docks of Bruges the\nammunition sheds are shattered and in\nflames, the water is pouring into the\nbattered sides of the submarines.

As a next\nstep every available man was turned\nInto the business' of carrying out the\nartists' Idea. Miles of canvass painted\nto look llge roads were constructed,\nunder which regiments could march\n\u2022without being seen.

The Belgians instead of being\nsnt to, Germany as formerly, are now\nbeing sent to work in the regions behind the German front ln Prance and\nBelgium. Besides, the Germans who\nformerly deported tho Belgians under\nthe pretext of giving work to the unemployed, now send them to the north\nof France and compel them to work,\nprtendlng that, Invirtue of article 2 ot\ntho order issued by the German general headquarters on Oct. 3,1916, every\ninhabitant \\of Ifho' country may be*\ncompelledto give his help tn case of\npublic calamity, even outside his residence.\nEmperor's Orders.\n\"This modification ln the policy of\ndeportation to0\u00a3 plio.ee In I8I7. Then,\nas a consequence' o*f the universal protests raised against this policy, the\nGerman emperor issued Instructions to.\nthe effect that 'deportation of unemployed Belgian to* Germany bo discontinued until further orders.' But\nthese instructions were carried out\nonly partly and very slowly. Moreover,\nthey did not apply'to'the thousands of\ncivilians who have, been sent behind\nthe German front in France.\n\"The chiefs of several Germari armies Intentlonaly misconstrued the in-,\nstructions of the German emperor.'\nThey pretended to understand that\nthese Instructions only forbade the\nsending of Belgian citizens to Germany but not to other regions and thus\nthey continued sending them to the.\nregions behind the German front in\nFrance and Belgium.\n'At tho same time, after the German authorities had pretended to listen to the protests of the neutrals and\nhad steted that they -yould stop the\ndeportations, they ceased to take any\nmore men under the pretext of unemployment. But they had reco.ure to\narticle 2 of tho above decree of Oct.\n3, 1910, which reads as follp-*ys: 1\n\" 'Every inhabitant of the country.\nIs bound to give his help In case of ao-,\ncldents and general danger and also\nto rblng relief in case of public calamity with all his power, even outside\nhis residence. It he refuses he may be\ncompelled by force to do so.'\n\"It has thus been sufficient for the\nGerman authorities to decide that the'\nregions occupied by their armies are\nin a state of public calamity' to take\naway from their homes, in many regions of Belgium men, women and\neven children 14 years of age, and*\ncompel them to work,'\nTear -Belgians Away.\n'The authorities have thus contln-\nlied, principally In the terlrtorles In'\nthe zone of the armies to tear the Belgians away from their honjes In order to transport t(iem, l.Pto the regions\nImmediately behind the German lines\nin France or in Belgium. ; There they\nare herded like cattle in special camps\ncompelled to do the work of a military,\ncharacter or interest Many- are sent\ninto the zone of operations and exposed-\nto the fire of the Belgian, and allied\nbatteries.

Therooky,\na boy of 19, with only one spell of\ntrench work in his history so far,\nspoke,\n\"I've seen some stretcher-bearers up\nfront when we were there, and so far\nas I could see they did nothing,\" he\nsaid. \"They come in.with us, slipped\nfnto the best dugout and stuck there\ntill we left. No sentry-go, no patrols,\nno fatigues, nothing. Jolly easy job\nthey have.\"\nA big mar. sitting near the doon\ncleaning his rifle looked up.\n\"What's that you say?\" lie inquired.\n\"Says that thc stretcher-bearer do\nnothing, Tom,\" someDOdy replied from\ntlie corner. \"Thinks their job is a\nregular beaiw with nothin* to do all\nday, 'cept sleep In a dugout and smoke\nfags.\" .\nRookies' Opinions.\n\"Rookies have that oplnio'n always,\"\nsaid Tom, the big man. \"They think\nwhen they have their first look at\nthings that they themselves do all the\nvvork and that nobody else does anything. It's not to be wondered at, for\nI myself had that opinion when I\ncame here for the first time. But'\nwhen 1 got my first wound out in a\nshell crate near Glvenchy. I changed\nmy opinion. It was slushy weather,\nwith the mud risinng to the neck almost und the rain peltln' duwn from\nthe heavens. I was lyin' out there in\nfull sight of the German lines till the\nstretcher-bearers camo out across the\nopen and carried me in, It was a job,\ntoo, one of the worst jobs than men\ncould attempt. But they did it, and\nafter that my opinion of stretcher-\nbearers changed. They are as fine\nfellows as any in the British army. .\n\"And they have their work and\nplenty of it,\" Tom continued. \"A\nstretcher-bearer is born, not made. He\nhas his job to do, and he's cut out to\ndo it and damn the consequences. Of\ncourse they get the best dugout when\nthey go up the line\u2014it is not for their\nown sakes, but for the sake, of the\nwounded. When a man's hit he wants\nall the care that he can get, and if he's\nnot placed In a good dugout how can\nhe be attended to? Sometimes when\nthere's a heavy bombardment going\non men wounded in thc((morning ha.ve\nto remain In the linos till dark, for\nit's impossible to take them through\nthe trench at such a time and they\nhave to be carried over the top. And\neven when there's no bombardment,\nthe wounded can very rarely be carried\nover the top in daylight, for the Germans-are particularly fond'of sniping\nat the wounded and 'do; so whenever\nthey have the opportunity.\nSeldom Parade.\n\"Back here the stretchor-bearers\nseldom go out on parade with us.

Thoy havo\ntheir own work to do, just as we have\nours. We have to kill men and they\nhave to save men, nnd if they follow\nin a charge they must know all about\nsaving.

An\narticle has been written by a physician\non the feasibility of using air flights\nin thc cure of disease.\n. The physician-author calls attention to the fact that the air of high\naltitudes Is absolutely free from germs;\nthat tlie atmosphere pressure gets progressively less as one ascends. This\ngerm-free atmosphere, he says, it just\nwhat the surgeon is constantly seeking\nat the cost of inflnlite labor, expense\nahd care, and which be rarely attains\non earth. The air, therefore, may be\nvaluable to the surgeon. To thtP\nphysician, says the author, it presents\na possible cure for tuberculosis. As\nthe air Is absolutely free from germs\na consumptive cannot reinfect himself by breathing it, and the diminishing pressure of tlio atmosphere may\nbe of urther assistance in treatment,\nsince at ground level the lungs are\nnever thoroughly emptied of air, and\nthe \"dead\" air left in their cavities is\na factor in causing lung disease. \"It\nis possible,\" says the author, ''that\nfreedom from germs, lowered atmospheric pressurcand the complete sun-\nbath obtainable In the air may lead to\nthe creation of aerial hospitals for\nspecially selected early'cases of consumption, rersonally, I look forward\nconfidently to the day when aerial\nhospitals will be an ordinary equipment of every city.\" '\nELGIN MAID MERCERIZED CROCHET COTTON, NO. 12\u2014\nShAdes are Green, Sky, Pink, White, Ecru, Black, Lavender, Rose,\nCream\/Delft; also Black and White.
