(By the A.P.) The British made a.

minor attack: against a portion of Aveluy wood early this morning'. The attacking party guinea a footing in two wooded tracts besido the Ancre river. The Germans have little room fot manoevuring west of the river, opposite the old Somme battlefield and tne loss of any ground, however slight, adds to their discomfort, and adds to the disadvantage of an attack westward up the slope towards Amiens. By attempting raids and maintaining a harrassing artillery fire, the enemy is keeping up at any rate a formal activity on the front between Flanders and Montdidier in order-to keep the allied forces occupied. Expect Anything.

Every German, raid has been ap praised at its true value. In most in stances prisoners hare been left in the British lines and none have been taken away. Some prisoners taken recently Indicate tiat the recent fighting opposite the British front have brought poor troops into the line la place experienced divisions. It is not to believed, however, that this practice la widespread, or that It means an indefinite continuance of the present lull. The new railways and roads, which the enemy is steadily improving, enable him to concentrate assaulting troops rapidly.

The activity maintained opposite the main British forces during the thrust towards Paris includes tha systematic bombardment of communications along the rear of the British line.

I 1 His JIajesty King George TWO DETECTIVES ARE ACQUITTED OF PERJURY CHARGE Men Were Employed by Provin- cial Police in Liquor Clean-up at Saskatoon "I.am pleased the result of the trial, which exonerates the two officers employed by the: provincial police of the charges- of perjjury," was the comment of Superintendent Mahony, of the provincial police, last evening when discussing the case of Anderson and Taylor, acquitted of the charge of perjury by Mr. Justice Elwood at Saskatoon on Saturday. The charges of perjury against Anderson and Taylor, two detectives employed by the provincial police last winter in the cooze clean-up in Saskatoon, resulted from the dismissal of Don Garrison on April 3 on the charge of bootlegging. Garrison had been arrested and charged with selling a bottle of liquor to one of the detectives. At the trial April 3, Magistrate Alex Smith dismissed the case with the remark to thae counsel, that, in his opinion, perjury had been ccmntted somewhere.

Immediately the case was concluded Garrison laid charges of perjury against the two detectives. A preliminary hearing resulted In send ing them for trial, and on Friday and Saturday their case was heard by Mr, Justice Elwood and Jury. When all the evidence had been put in the Jury retired and were out just a short time, returning with a verdict of not guilty. Further the forman of the jury addressed the court and expressed the opinion that the evidence given by some witnesses for the prosecution waa very unsatisfactory. Garrison has now been arested on a charge of perjury and will be given a preliminary hearing at Saskatoon this week.

The provincial police will iow work on what they believe to have been a frame-up on the two detectives. MUNICIPAL WORK TO BE WATCHED 10ST CAREFULLY OTTAWA, Juns 2.

"RECORD, RECORD, WHO'S GOT A RECORD? The hospital ward was big and bare, just a huge figure In officer's khaki on his daily Inspection, or perhaps a nurse' bending over some helpless form, broke the -uniform, sameness of the rows and rows of white cots. In the centre of the room within earshot of all, a talking machine had been placed.

To these wounded soldiers this a gift from the skies, for music will soothe the cheer the lonely and brighten the lives o'f all ltd hearers. On tela particular morning "Silver Threads Among the Gold" had been played twice, "Annie Laurie" had been encored three times, while "Casey Jones," being the favorite, was played on the moving over five times. Can you blame the soldiers for not receiving much Inspiration and whvn just thr had been allotted their ward owing to such a limited supply? This Is Just one Instance of the many that occur In our military hospitals and rest homes, throughout the country, where thousands of returned soldiers are being cared for and who have some sound reproducing machine or player piano, but a very poor and meagre assortment of records or player rolls. Can you not start todaj locking through your cabinets and 6ort out the records that no longer Interest you and have become useless. Think what It will mean to these -arious Soldier Homes and Hospitals to receive the selection of records fiat you have sent them, in care- of your local branch of the Red Cross.

So let's make this the record, campaign for our country's heroes. Street Resident Considered Paper, a Fire Brick and Cement Safer than Bank That a fire brick, cement, and a copy of The- Morning Leader axe regarded as a better batik than the chartered Institutions of Canada, was the discovery made by Inspector Hitch- and Detective McDougall of the city police force on Saturday. Complaints of the theft of money from a resident on Edgar street led to investigations alt tha shack of a suspect and the discovery of $1,200 wrapped up securely in a copy of The Morning Leader, then placed in a fire brick which had been cemented at each end. The cache was in the cellar of the suspect. That the suspected person had nothing to do whatever with the reported theft, and that he was the rightful owner of the money found, was the finding of the police, and last evening a statement to that effect was given by Inspector Hitch.

The complainant had mentioned the man at whose shabk the discovery was made as a possible person wno might have stoiea the money and this brought the detectives to the shack. In further discussing this find, In-epetcor Hitch stated that it was quite a common occurrence in the east end for the residents to cache their money ralther than leave it in the bank. The reason they offer for this is that they fear the Canadian banks may go broke, in the event of the kaiser winning the war and that their money would be confiscated The man who had cached his money In his cellatr satisfied the police that he was the rightful owner of the $1,200. He showed papers which indicated he had drawn his savings from the post-office, where he formerly deposited a certain amount every month. SMALL ATTACKS SUCCESSFUL ON ITALIAN FRONT ROME, June 2.
