London, Sept. 5.-Both the British
and French have made further gains
in the battle of the Somme, after
fierce fighting "A bloody battle is
going on on both banks of the Som
me-" says the British communication
issued by the war Office at Paris last
night. "The French have made fresh
progress east OF the village of Forest,
north of the river, and on the south
have successfully attacked objectiTes
along front of hlometers (12 IL
mimls) from BarleuX to Chaulnes.
The village of Soyecourt was bril-.
liantly carried by assault as well as
part of Vermandovillers. Over 5000
prisoners have been taken north and
south of the Somme in the last two
days. Progress was also made on the
right bank of the Meuse (Verdun Sec.
tion,) in the Fleury region"
A dispatch from Berlin last night
said that, in an extensive and bitter
battle developing from the Anglo
French attacks begun Sunday. the Ger
mans retained mastery over all their
positions on both sides of the Ancre
brook, and recaptured ground when
hety had lost near Mouquet farm.
South OF the Somme. the statement
adds, German artillery broke down
French attacks, except in the sec
tion southwest of Barleux.
Between Ginchy an dthe river Som
me the Germans contested yard by

man first positions, which We're enter
ed by the British and, the statement
says, stemmed the attack on the sec
ond line. Guillemont and Forest
were captured from the Germans.

was needed. The backache that had
clung to me so long left and | felt
better and stronger. After taking two
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills, all symp-

The above statement was given De-

COLONIAL TENANTS
GIVE GOLD WATCH TO
ELEVATOR OPERATOR

Conrad Ammon, elevator man at the
Colonial building, beamed with satis-
faction today.
Its all about a watch" said Mr..
Ammon.
Early this week, the elevator man
hung up his coat in a rest room and
left 1t few minutes. When he re-
turned, somebody had taken his
watch.
Not only did this inconvenience Mr..
Ammon but every man who holds an
Office in the Colonial building, felt the
loss.
So greatly were the people of the
Colonial building inconvenienced that
a meeting was called as soon as the
loss was discovered. Despite that
fact the whole bunch turned sleuths,
the watch could not be located.
There was only one Alternatives
new watch. The subscriptions were
sufficient to purchase one of the best
gold watches in Richmond.

BAvIS ADVISES MANUFACTURERS
TO INITIATE PROCEEDINGS FOR
LOWERING OF SPRINKLER RENTAL

Following the latest clash between
the board of public works and local
manufacturers who are using auto
matte sprinkling systems in their
plants over the fire protection ques-
tion, President Bavis of the board,
said today that II the manufacturers
opposed that section of the recent
water rate order of the state utility
commission requiring the installation
Of meters for all sprinkler systems
that they had the legal authority to
initiate proceedings in the courts for
the modification of the order.
These manufacturers, however,
want the city of Richmond to take
such action" Bavis said "The board
agrees that the charge inflicted upon
the, sprinkler users is an unjust one
and the city is considering some meth
cd of assisting these concerns in OBJ
tanning relief"
What we object to is the openly
expressed demand of the sprinkler
users that the city assume the burden
OF paying over to the water works
company the 81, 900 revenue the water
