Here the jt'vj British made 1,400 Germans pris I oner. iL After Important Railroad Town of Ba pa time. Desperate resistance has been of I fered to the further eastward ad vance of the' British in the sector I immediately south of Arras, where the important railroad town of Ba I paume sems to be the immediate ob jective. Practically heavy fighting occurred at Achiet le Grand, but al though the town changed hands numerous times, the vantage belong 1 ed to the British at last accounts, j.

Further important penetrations of the enemy line had occurred and the i' British were operating well to the I east of the Bapaume Arras railway, Mighty Wedge Between Hun Armies Under the further progress of the I French armies from the vicinity of I Lassigny to Soissoms a mighty wedge f. seemingly" has been driven in be tween the armies of General von Boehn and the German Crown Prince. Over the entire fr'ont the Germans have been further pushed back, at sonre distances from two to I three miles, and in the retrograde movement the enemy was forced to .1 abandon large numbers of guns. Noyon now is all but enveloped' nd the hill and wooded country in, this vicinity almost cleared of the enemy. The Divette river has been reached and both the Oise and the Ailette rivers have been crossed, and the on 5 ward thrust of the French on the eastern end of the line from Sois sons northward sems likely to bring about shortly the outflanking of the important, town of Laon and the forced retirement of the Germans from the Vesle river northward i across the Aisne.

Foch Has Entire Initiative Viewed in all its aspects, the Allied offensive semingly shows that General Foch now has the initiative en Jtirely in his own hands and that he proposes to press his advantage for little more than two months of good fighting weather that remain before the winter season sets in. In oleed. it is not improbable that he may elect to keep aftef his quarry even when the cold descends. Trie Germans nowhere ar standing with thir usual zest and Foch now has a greatly strengthened army. Huns Beginning To Believe It German newspapers now are accepting astrue, although reluctantly, the statement by the American Secretary of War concerning the strength of the American forces in France.

Some of them, however, are endeavoring to minimize "the number actually in battle array.

Some of these rules are: Be" sure there is a check draft riamne.r in the smoke pipe, besides the turn damner. This check draft damper is as important In controlling the rate at which the fire bums as is th throttle of an engine. Open it to check the fire, close it to make the fire burn more rapidly. WorK it. Fxneriment with it in the' daily regu lation of the fire.

The coaling door was not put on the furnace to be Hsprt as a check damper. Never open the coaling, door to check the fire. If you cannot check the fire without opening coaling door, you need proper dampers. The turn damper should fit the smoke pipe loosely and must never be entirely closed. With the average nlant.

it may be kept partly closed most of the time in mild weather, but during severe weather it usually needs to be wide open. Make use of the lift or slide damper in the coaling door only to let oxygen in to consume gases. Just enoueh draft, and that from below, checking the draft by letting more air into the smoke pipe, is one of the best general rules. This fur niahPG nxveen from below necesi ry for the consumption, of coal gases, and at the same time gives time for the to be consumed before being drawn up the chimney. This method also avoids the escape of coal gas intn the cellar.

To make the fire burn more rapidly do not open the whole ash pit door, but the arart Hamnf rs in the ash Dit door. Open ing the whSle ash pit door supplied air to the fire faster than it is nori.fi for consumption.

The Pennsylvania Council of Na tional Defense, which has been di recting organized patriotic speak ing in suport of the government has arranged to conduct patriotic singing on the same state wide basis an loraoi 30E O1 Dives, Pomeroy Stewart I Much Can oe IOSS fciA i iWiriiMWTifi to couple the singing and speaking. Hereafter there will be no Liberty sings without Liberty talks, nor will there be patriotic, speaking without patriotic singing. Arrangements are under way to merge organized singing which has been conducted by independent associations with The organized speaking and singing directed by the Pennsylvania Couhcil of National Defense. John F.

Baum, State Director ef Community Singing, will be assisted in this work by Courtenay Baylor, who has been directing the Liberty Sing Commission of the War Camp Community Service, Philadelphia, which is being merged with the Pennsylvania Council. The One Minute Liberty Sing is to be conducted in theatres and photoplay houses where "the Four Minute speakers are regularly featured." A verse "or chorus of a patriotic song will be thrown on the screen and will be sung by the audience, by way of introducing the Four Minute speaker. Four minute speaking is always concentrated upon a set theme. One Minute Liberty singing will be similarly directed. On special occasions, campaigns may be greatly assisted by the dramatic effect of having, for example, 1,000 great community "sings" in all parts of the State jdin in the same chorus at exactly the same moment.

And this dramatic appeal can' be reinforced by having 1,000 speakers make precisely the same speech at the same moment, following the singing. OCT SUPPLY OP TEXT BOOKS Production Must Be Reduced Fifty Per Cent. During War. WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.

He had refused his permission when the tenor asked him for his daughter's band. He said Caruso had been spend ing week ends at his borne, and had come to him last Friday to fe.sk for his daughter. "We talked the matter oyer amicably enough," continued Mr. Benja. min, "and I supposed that with my refusal the matter was closed.

My daughter went to New York Monday. I heard nothing more of the matter until somebody called me on the telephone on Tuesday night to tell me of the wedding. "My objections are of a kind that cannot be overcome. They are based upon the difference, in the ages of the couple, and the fact that they are not of the same nationality. Moreover, the singer is a mani of temperament.

"I did not want my daughter to marry riches or a voice, or an orator, but just a man. However, she is a mature woman and Caruso is forty five, therefore the match cannot be ascribed to the ardor of youth. "You ask me whether my daughter and son in law will be received if they call. I can hardly answer for the whole family. The whoje thing was so extremely precipitous that we haven't had time to think, but the thing is done now and can't be helped.

We shall probably make the best of it There is no mystery as to why we did not go to the wedding. We were not asked," WED AT DANIELS HOME WASHINGTON. Ang. 22. The marriage of Miss Anie Ibrie Pou, daughter of Representative and Mrs.

It was formed in order Uibw Undiqestion crfcid Stomach 'Whattodoi Dives, Pomeroy Stewart ANY deaths from to called heart lore are undoubtedly due to accumulation of gas from fermenting food in the stomach and intestines. When the congested blood which has been held back by gas pressure on the arteries, liver and other vital organs finally spurts through into the heart, the heart movements may at first become slow and faint, sometimes skipping a beat, and again they may become violent and palpitating. The action of the poisonous acid and gas may also irritate the stomach walls, producing an irritable temper, dizziness, inability to sleep, forgetfulness, lack of power to concentrate the mind, melancholy or the "blues" and a gloomy sort of disposition. These last two are among the final signals the stomach gives the brain before the victim may go down in the maelstrom of nervous prostration. In all cases of hyperacidity and weakened nerve power resulting therefrom, prompt and effective treatment should be taken, as the longer the acid condition continues the more irritable the stomach membranes become and the more difficult it is to ob iin relief.
