ALLIES HALT
FURIOUS RUSH
Germans Make Desperate
Onslaught.
EXTENDS FROM SEA TO ARRAS
Attempt to Win Back Lost Ground
by Furious Charges With Resultant
Heavy Loss of Life-AIlies Continue
to Gain Ground.

Paris, May 24.-T The German
armies made general assault
from the sea to Arras, but at no place,
says the war Office, did they secure
foothold. Their losses during these
forward rushes are described as Eek
tremely heavy" while the fighting
which continued, evidently as a re-
suit of the repulses inflicted on the
Germans, was of such a violent char
acter that the cost in life was very.
severe indeed.
From the northeast and southeast
the Germans drove at the Lorette
plauteau with great fury, attempting
to win back the ground they have
lost in this neighborhood, but their
endeavor was fruitless. They also
pressed forward with determination
against the French positions at Neu-
vile ST. Vaast during the night, but
were repulsed on every hand.
The British made progress east of
Festubert during the day, and the
French advanced several hundred me-
ters and captured some prisoners
northeast of the chapel of Notre Dame
De Lorette. More German trenches
were captured by French forces north
OF Neuville st. Vaast, all of which
would indicate that the copcerted
British and French drive in La Bassee
is progressing satisfactorily.
Berlin, via wireless, May 24.-Phe
official statement issued by the gem
eral staff says that heavy fighting con-
tinues near Givenchy with results
favorable to the Germans. French at
tacks have been repulsed between
Bethune and Lens and behind the
Lorette heights while north of Aba
lain the French have gained a small
portion OF the German advanced
trenches. The Germans gained some
ground between the Meuse and the
/ Moselle.

millions to the painters and small

hope to launch a movement that will
make the Brazos river navigable from

rates. The objects Of the meetin,
are great. they mean great things fol

TO Be SOON REBUILT

HOPEWELL, Va, Dec. 1O.-This mushroom
city, made great in few months by the manufac-
tuTe of war munitions, and which was last night al
most totally destroyed by fire, is still boom town.
Today contractors and builders are planning new
structures on the smoldering ruins. Many of the
buildings will be of concrete and freproof

The capacity of the surrounding territory is
taxed to take care of the thousands who are made
homeless by the fire. The militia is still on guard
and order prevails.
