The attack in Flanders, originally
leveled at the French, has been trans
ferred to the British lines held by the
Canadians, on the immediate right of
the French, and here for two days the
men from the dominion have been en-
gagged in a deadly contest with the
Germans. The latter state in their
official report that they have made
further progress toward Ypres and
that the British counter attack has
been repulsed.
The French account, on the other
hand, declares that the allies counter
attacks continue with success and
that the British hold all their positions
and repeats the charge that the Ger
mans are using bombs containing as
phyxiating gases.
The Frankfurter Zeitung justifies
the use of these missiles on the ground
that the allies have done likewise.

raise good men to a higher level and
less fortunate men to see that they
are wanted somewhere, that there is
at least one place where they are
known all about and liked just the
same" and where they can enter into
the spirit of good fellowship.
At present the order have a men,

Alto uey General Grant Fellows,
declare last Friday. that the decision
of the federal court in the Pere Mar
quette passenger fare case is Of i'm
portance not only to Michigan, but to
every state where litigation may arise
between railroad companies and Of
fcials of the state charged with the
administration of the laws.
THE holding Of the federal court
would seem to settle the proposition
that when a railroad company organ
lied under a state law and thus makes
a contract with the state to abide by
the provisions of that law, neither the
railroad company nor any one in its
behalf can subsequently assail the
validity of any provision by which
the privilege of organizing or con-
solidating is granted to it," said At
torney General Fellows. This suit,
although brought in the names of
certain. individual bondholders and
the trustee under the consolidated
mortgage, was, in the final analysis,
an action brought for the benefit of
the railroad company. 1t it had re-
suited in the securing of permission
to charge increased rates, such addi-
tional income as might have gone to
the company rather than to the com
plainants in this case"
