Chief Blow Repelled.

THE chief blow was struck north
east of Fromelles, which was repealed
with heavy losses An attack was also
made west of Angres, which partly
penetrated our trenches, but the Ger
mans counter attacked and ousted the
British Similar results followed at
tacks at Givenchy and Festubert.
THE only results of consequence
were achieved south of La Bassee
canal. There the Germans had to re-
tire into their second line positions,
but returned to the attack and recap
tured part of the trenches lost. At
the same time the French attacked
from the Lorette heights to Rivieres

previously for days with a storm of
shells. All our positions, from Armen-
there's to below Arras, except unim-
portant sectors, were fully held. An

Three-Day Bombardment.

For three days our batteries bonn
barded the German positions. We made
use Of the most recent artillery and were
able after an examination of the con-
quered trenches to witness its dreadful
effect. At certain points the leveling of
the trenches was complete.
The protecting caves were filed. As
to the network of barb wire-it was
torn up everywhere Ut destroyed.
Our fire covered the entire length Of
the first position, and with long range
cannon bombarding routes and railroads
certain German units found their supplies
cut or and remained forty eight hours
without provisions
The moral effect was no less pow

bombardment increased the nervous

began a concentrated artillery and

September 30.-Bernhardt Kellermann
Athor. correspondent of the Tageblatt,
telegraphs today from the German
army headquarters on the western
front:
With a prodigious expenditure of
ammunition, with fourteen or fifteen
divisions, including part of Kitchener
army and Indian troops, the British as
sumed the offensive on the right wing.
The preparations, which required time,
were costly and thorough. but the re-
suits achieved were scarcely worth
mentioning.
They opened an artillery fire like
drum beats on the goth and for four
days maintained a steady roar against
our trenches, some sections of which
were perfectly curtained with fire.
They prepared for the attack from
Amentieres to the Lorette heights, and
it commenced on the 25th.

themselves with the courage of despair

killed to the last man. Others were
cunning, rather than courageous, in
their methods of fighting.
The resistance was prolonged in
some parts of the village and there
were many cellars from which rapid
flrers caused heavy losses. They were
silenced by bombing parties who flung
their hand grenades into these subter-
ranean forts from the head of the stair

Refuse to Heed Terrible Fire.

Fierce fighting continued around the
hill Sunday and Monday. The new
army battalions played an important
part in the attack; men who had no
experience in real fighting sprang for
ward to the sound of the officers
whistles with a dash and gallantry
which nothing could stop. Paying no
heed to the terrible fire poured on them
from hidden guns, they pressed for
ward at a steady pace, making their
way through the barbed wire entangle-
ments, forcing the enemy's trenches
and bayonetting the Germans in them.
Germans caught hiding in cellars,
from which they kept UP a steady fire

of the village, were hauled forth I;
machine guns firing through holes in
the walls of cottages were charged and
captured.

thickness and strength, the barbs being

lines had been we'll destroyed by the
artillery, but the third still stood, and
this had to be cut by men standing in
the open exposed to the enemy's fire.
Dead Piled High in Trenches.
"One man said that in the trenches
around the town the German dead in
some places were piled four deep.
Many cellars contained Germans seek
ing protection from the bombardment,
and into the houses dashed the bomb

the cellars and dropped in a couple of
bombs. In one dugout German Off
Ger was found with a telephone re-
ceiver at his ear. He had been direct
ing the fire of the German artillery on
the village after the British occupied it.
The village itself was badly dam
aged. The church was a shapeless
mass of bricks; houses were blown to
pieces; streets were piled with debris.

aid in specially needy schools.
Superintendent r. S. Rogers OF Dfi-

No county in the state is doing
more for it's schools than Dillon. Sew
eral years ago the county supertend-
ent reported that every district had
levied a special tax. Practically every
school building in the county is up
to-date in ventilation, lighting and

hopes to run every school seven

admirably with industrial subjects.
Special teachers of industrial branches
are employed in the high schools at
Dillon and at Latta. He states that
the new compulsory attendance law
will prove stimulus to many COM
munities. He is hoping that at least
ten districts in Dillon county will pc

law before July I, while perhaps a
half dozen more districts Will hold
elections on the question.
In Marion county superintendent
