Important British Advances.

London, Oct. 23-The new British
which the troops of General Sir Doug
las Haig drove forward on a front OF
three miles in the Thiepval ector was
everywhere successful, the war office
announced. The British lines were
carried forward at some points more
than onethird of a mile between
Schwaben redoubt and LIE Sars.
In fighting around Grandecourt, the
British made an important advance.
The official statement says that the
victory was achieved with slight cas-.
ualties. Eight hundred prisoners
have been counted and more are be-
Ing brought in. The text of the state
ment reads:
"Our attack was very successful.
The whole of the detectives was gain
ed. Over 800 German prisoners were
taken and more are reported coming
In at the collecting stations. Our Cas-
ualties are believed to be slight. Dur
Ing the night the enemy made no at.
tempt to retake the ground captured"
The British attack was made In cZn:
junction with a French drive at the
extreme southern end of the Somme
line which resulted in the capture Of
Chaulnes wood and nearly three hun
bred prisoners.
The British and French command
ers took advantage Of a strong con
centration of German troops In the
center of the Somme line between
Sailly-Saillisel and Bianches. west CT
Peronne, where the Prussians attempt
I'd a general attack, to launch assaults
On both wings with great success. The
German attack in the center achieved
slight success and enormous losses
were suffered by the divisions engag
ed.
The Germans suffered their heav1
est losses in repeated attacks on Sail
ly-Saillisel north of the Somme, and
the French positions between La Mai
sonette and Biaches, south Of the river
and opposite Peronne. There entire
battalions were wiped out by the
French artillery fire and the few de-
tachments that reached the French
positions were swept away by ma
chine guns.
The battle, which lasted for nearly
twenty-four hours from the time OF
the first German attack, took in al
most the entire Somme front, the Brit

winning a slight foothold.

DR.. Adler's arrest was not accom-

men, who leaped at him after he hao
fired on Count Stuergkh. He dischars
ed the two remaining chambers of his
revolver at these men before Austrian
and German officers, with drawn sa
bers, overpowered him.
The wounded men, who were injur
ed slightly, are Baron Aerenthal
brother of the late foreign minister
and the headwaiter of the Hotel Meis

occurred.
Count Stuergkh arrived at the no

New County Government

1t will be of interest to the people
of Williamsburg to know that a bill
changing the county's system of
government was passed during the
last days of the session of the Gen.
eral Assembly. The bill as enacted
into law, and which appears below,
deals chiefly with the question of
roads and bridges, and does not
seem to affect any other depart
ment of the county's government,
other than to dispense with the SER
vices of the old auditing board which
convened orce a month to audit and
pass upon the various claims in the
hands of the County Commissioner.
Hereafter, according to the new
law, the County Commissioner will
be known as County Supervisor and
a board, composed of four gentle
men, will constitute what is to be
known as the Board of County Com
missioners. The members of this
board are to be appointed by the
Governor, for terms ranging from
one to four years so that the term
of one member will expire each year
when a new appointment may be
made for four years.
Hereafter the Road Engineer will be
selected by the Supervisor and Board
of Commissioners instead of being
selected by the popular vote of the
people at the regular primary cleo
tions every two years. The duties of
the Road Engineer will remain prac-
tically the same as heretofore. The
act provides that Mr. J P Frierson,
the present Road Engineer. shall be
retained in that office until January
l, 1917, at a salary of $500 year,
and also provides that the Road En-
gineer may be removed for cause at
any time, after 80 days. notice, by
