BATTLE ON THE SOMhE
IS HALTED BY WEATHER

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE. Octo-
Der %, via London.-The British are
saying that il the Germans had ordered
the weather it could not have suited
their purposes better than during these
last two days of persistent rain, which
has turned shell craters into bowls OF
porridge, made trench sides fall in, kept
every stitch of clothing of the men IN
the front line saturated and made the
field across which charges have to be
made as slippery as glass where there
are not mires.
Sunday and part of Monday with
clear cold weather, which let the gun
ners see their targets, the soldiers were
swinging their arms to keep warm.
Now the gunners stare out in the walls
of mist and the soldiers who have been
in the trenches look like balls of mud.
Tanks Need Fog Horns.
Artillery preparation necessary for
attack is impossible without visibility,
and, as one gunner said. the visibility
is so low that the tanks will have to
use fog horns to prevent a collision If
they go wandering across the unchart-
ed shell craters.
The Germans in their machine gun
positions need only enough visibility
to see few hundred yards.
But about LIE Transley, where the
British attacked Monday over narrow
front and took about a thousand yards
of trenches, the bloodiest and fiercest
kind of fighting has been proceeding
all day lTuesday). The utter discom-
fort and the mud and the wet seem
only to make both sides more bitter.
Face Veteran Regiments.
Against the British here are the vet
eran German regiments which took
Forts Vaux and Douaumont at Verdun
now as savage in defense as they
were in attack last spring. The trenches
in this region have names appropriate
for the weather and the season, such as
Misty trench" HAY. trench" and
trum'' and orion" trench
The Germans have been making no
attacks except counter attacks aiming
to drive the British out when they get
ground in any one Of these trenches.
The men of both sides. wallowing in the
mud, strive to keep up some form of
cover from the shell fire and against
the fire of machine guns, which other
wallowing men strive to keep from
laundering, while trench mortars
splash fountains Of mud over them.

Being Successful Before Board of
Directors of Organization.

Rock Island is to be host to the IIIi-
nois State Liquor Dealers association
in September on the event of the an
nual convention of the organization.
Claus Dau. secretary of the Rock Is
land Liquor Dealers Protective asso-
ciation, has returned from Chicago.
where he attended a meeting of the
hoard of directors of the state organ
izadon. He was largely instrumental
in winning the meeting for his home
CITY. He is one OF the directors.
Five other cities had representa-
tives before the board in an effort to
land the convention. Quincy was the
strongest contender. Springfield. Belle
vile. LaSalle and Morris were the
other cities bidding for the meeting.
Belleyille withdrew, however, early in
the contest in favor of Rock Island
The Liquor Dealers association
does not award conventions as do
most state organizations. Instead of
the delegates selecting the next con-
venti0n place at each annual meeting,
the board Of directors is empowered
to name the convention city.
Arrange for Meeting.
The local association will take
charge of arrangements for entertain
ing the visitors at its next meeting.
Committees will be appointed and ev-
erything will be made in readiness to
tender a warm reception to the dele
gates when they arrive in the fall.
1t is expected that the convention
will bring several hundred delegates
to this city. Rock Island entertained
the Illinois Liquor Dealers associa-
ton six years ago.
