/ according to an official statement is
sued by the war Office today.
The approaches to Thiaumont are
still in the hands of the French. On
I the west of the Mouse fighting of
great violence lasted throughout the

The text of the statement follows:
ON both banks OF the Mouse the
enemy delivered repeated violent Of
fensive actions. Last night on the left
/ bank in the entire region east and
west Of Hill 304 the fighting was par
ticularly intense. The Germans
LAUNCHED four attacks upon different
sectors. The first attack accompanied
by jets of liquid fire upon our posi-
lions between Hill 304 and the Esnes-
Haucourt road was repulsed with san
culinary losses for the enemy.
The second attack was in the
neighborhood of the E3nes-Haucourt
road was also repulscd.
During the night east Of Hill 304
powerful German infantry action had
succeeded in capturing fortified work
which had been taken by us yester-
day, together with some trenches on
the slopes east of Hill 304 but our
counter attacks. Immediately launched

Of the works of that name. After fur
iOus assaults, preceded by lombard

ourselves in the immediate approaches
Heavy artillery activity continued IN
the regions of the Fumin and ChenOis

they are sent to the border Or to their

A few days ago enlisted men and

The departure of the two field ar

is generally due to a weak spring,
distortion Of the plates, or use of too

Never use an Inferior grade Of oil
In multiple disc clutch housing. The
friction heat will carbonize the oil
and pit the plates or coat them with
a gummy carbon paste. In most cases
a simple adjustment Is provided for

construction, owing to the large diam

necessary to employ a. clutch brake
to stop the rotation Adjusting nuts
are provided to take up wear in a
similar way as in the multiple disc.
Wear of the surfaces and weakened
or broken springs are the usual caus-
es Of trouble.
In the early days of motoring plan
etary transmissions were extensively
used in all grades of cars, principally
because of their ease in control
The Ford transmission is typical Of
this design. The clutch used Is the

is very simple. BY removing the

floor boards at the drivers feet an
adjusting screw is revealed on tthe
end of the clutch finger To make
the adjustment. remove the cotter pin
and turn up the set screw about one
! half turn with screw driver. Turn
the clutch over and repeat the ope-
ration on the other finger set screws.
Be sure to give each the same num-
