At the hour of relief last evening
no relief was sent, but the occupying
detachment evacuated the trenches I'M

for the attack which came in the early
morning. The Germans were permitted
to advance four deep without molesta-

the machine guns, which then opened
fire, supported by the three-inchers.
Most of the attacking force fell be-
fore they reached the trench of the
bridgehead, and the Belgian guns had
the range so well that those who got
into the trenches were obliged to
abandon them.

Retain Famous DiXmude
Bridgehead, Scene of Many
Desperate Conflicts.

FURNES, Belgium, August IL, VIA
Paris, August 1S.-The famous bridge
head at Dixmude, thrice lost and thrice
retaken by the Belgians. remained in
their hands this morning after des-
perate assault by the Germans had
been repulsed.
The bridgehead is fragment of the
right bank of the User beyond the
Dixmude bridge. The Germans hold all
the adjoining ground. but the Belgians
have chung to the position approached
by the bridge since October, warding
off incessant German attacks and en-
during a daily Smelling. The Germans,
attracted by the exposed Belgian posi-
ton, frequently have attacked in mass
formation, and it is estimated they lost
5000 men there from last October to
August 1.
Shelled Every Evening.
After three attempts the Germans had
a abandoned direct efforts to occupy the
trenches, but kept up fire from three
sides. Every evening. at the hour of
relief, German field guns and gatlings
played on the position and the COM
municating trenches; every evening a
few Belgians fell, in coming or going,
and remained on the ground until a
convenient opportunity came to re-
move them.
The position was useless in the alb
sence of a general attack but it had
cost so much the Belgians held on.
Machine guns were posted on the left
bank with several batteries of three
inchers behind them.

OLD CLOTHES.
Great Many People Everywhere Give
Away Old Clothes, But Often
Ndt With Judgment.

One of the most practical and
easiest methods Of charity is the jul
dicious distribution of old clothes.
Recognizing the great value of this
plan has just been organized in New
York city, to collect and distribute
Systematically old and new clothing.
A great many people everywhere
give away old clothes, but often not
with judgment.
In many employments it is neces-
sary for a mans success that he be
well dressed. 1t NAV be illogical,
but shabby clothes hurt his business.
Consequently he has half used suits
and overcoatS for distribution at
regular intervals. Being well made
they have a great deal of substantial
wear. Also his wife feels that her
position requires her to discard gar
ments before they are worn out
The amount of clothing thus pas
sed on is a big total. If used kind
ly and benevolently, it can keep a
great many deserving people very
comfortable.
Some persons sell it to Solomon
lsaacs, or other vendors of cast-ofis
who makes a thrifty profit. 1t would
seem that people might much better
make this little offering to worthy
charity by a direct gift.
1t is poor policy to hand out these
garments to the first blowsy tramp
who comes along. On the back
streets of your own town there are
always people who have met mis-
fortune, but who have fought a good
fight with adverse circumstance
They are entitled to the preference.
Every family having clothes to give
away should seek out few of these
households, and make them regular
recipients of this inexpensive but
subs. antial bounty.

History i'm Movies.

Thomas A. Edison has arranged
for special motion picture film on
which the history of the United
States can be portrayed in the
schools
The scope of the film will date
from the landing of the settlers at
jamestown, down to the present, and
will be divided into historical peri
ods. Edward S. Ellis of Montclair,
N. Y, a writer of boys stories, is
now preparing the scenario. Work
on the film has begun. The plan will
be slightly different from the prep
aration of the usual film in that its
primary function will be to give a
comprehensive portrayal of history
that will be easily understood by the
children. Text explanations of sim
pie character will be introduced to
mark the periods as they occur. The
plan is but one of a long series OF
educational subjects that Mr.. Edi-
son has had in mind for some years.
