BRITISH ROUT TURKS EAST
OF SUEZ CANAL; CAPTURE
GERMAN BATTERY AND MEN

LONDON Aug. THE Turkish force
routed by the British east of the Suez
Canal has been driven back distance of
IS miles, It was officially announced today.
The fleeing Turks have now been entirely
cleared from the Katia-Umaisha basin.
Thirty-eight German officers and bat
terry of German guns were captured by the
British in the fighting with the Turks at
El Ruman, east OF the Suez Canal, says a
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Com
pany from Cairo today. Twenty-Five hun
dred additional prisoners reached Cairo
from the scene of action on Sunday. All
were Turks but TO- who were Germans.
Thus far 45 officers and 3100 men have
been captured. The official dispatches char
acterlzed the prisoners as "a very fine body
Of men," indicating the Turkish attack was
by no means raiding venture of irregu-
lars.
British artillery and rifle fire was very
effective, the Turks suffering heavily in
killed and wounded in the fighting near
Katia. TerrItorals carried strong
Turkish rear-guard position Saturday.

Pernicious Habit Among Boys Holds Double Menace in
Direct Infection and Disease Agencies Accu-
mulated on Streets, Say Experts

Emoker is constantly placing himself In
danger OF being afflicted with tuberculosis
and many different kinds of skin diseases,
at is ofttimes the beginning of the to-
bacco habit. We find that the taste for
smoking has to be acquired and that Is
generally done at an early age But few
persons begin to smoke after they have
reached twenty.one years OF age.
I'm not so sure that tobacco dulls the
mentality. Many Of our most brilliant
writer's on technical subjects. who do a
tremendous amount of brain work, are
known to be inveterate smokers. The to-
bacco heart and more belligerent forms of
heart disease are among the most common
effects Of smoking"
DR.. Wilmer Krusen, Director of the De-
partment Of Health and Charities, also sc.
vcrely condemned the stump smoker.
Doctor Krusen said the danger was from
direct infection.
at is a double menace" he says. First,
the cigarette may have come from the lips
of person with a transmissible disease.
Second, the cigarette is generally thrown
in the street among refuse, where thou.
sands OF germs are gathered"

English Troops "Fire Away"
Money at Rate of $10,000,000

Declares
DESCRIBES TRENCH FORTS
Rv LORD NoRTHCLIFFE

LONDON, Aug. THE cost of the pre-
liminary bombardment in the great Somme
battle on July ! was S50.000,00 worth of
shells by the British army alone. We are,
/ suppose, firing away money at the rate
of 100000 900 daily, and our artillery never
ceases against the subterranean German
fortresses which l have lately explored.
These are a tribute not only TO the in
tense work of the Germans but the ire
sistible superiority of the British and
French troops,
1t is to be hoped that some of these
underground labyrinths will be preserved
in order that future generations may realize
what this kind OF warfare is like.
One of the captured fortresses-I decline
the use Of the preposterous word dug-out-
is large enough TO contain comfortably
1000 men and supplies,
IN some cases the entrances and exits
were so cunningly concealed as to be in
visible II the Germans were as excellent
offensive fighters as they are clever at
making defense works they would be
irresistible.
"As "a matter OF fact they are too fond
of their underground caverns and there is
reason TO believe that in ordinary trench
dug-outs, which are much larger than those
OF the French and British, thousands OF
Germans have been buried alive.
zone dugout l visited had been the home
Of German officers. II contained comfortable
beds, an excellent, well filed wine cellar
electric light, electric fans. and was dug
so deep that even the explosion of a 17-inch
shell would make very little audible
impression,
Externally there is no sign whatever OF
the existence of these forts. All that ap
pears above the ground may resemble the
ruins of farmhouse.
on the whole, the appearance of the Ger
man prisoners is quite different from those
met even few months ago. But then we
had virtually no artillery. Now we have
unlimited guns and shells and there Is
nothing old-fashioned in our equipment.
Owing TO the fact that we started with
nothing everything we now have is the
latest and best
The Germans count the fact that the
training Of artillery officers In peace time
Is a matter Of some years. Our gunners
are already as accurate as the Germans.
our guns are newer and. inasmuch as the
Germans are afraid TO send up their aero
planes and observation balloons, our bat
terles know what they are doing. whereas
the Germans are firing bhndly.
IL Is all new and delightful, and / en-
joyed every minute OF my 1s days stay
with the British and French armies.

RUSSIANS BREAK UP TEUT0N
ATTACKS ON STOKHOD FRONT;
EXPECT OFFENSIVE ON DVINA

PETROGRAD, Aug 7.-Attempts by the
Germans along the Stokhod River In Vol
hynia to assume the offensive broke down,
the Russian War Office announced today.
Three more fortified villages have been
captured by the Russians. The villages
taken were Zuyjin, Kostianiec and Reniuv.
There has been perceptible stiffening Of
Austro- German resistance since Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg's scope of command
was extended, but the Russians continue to
make progress at various points,
On the Dvina River front the Germans
are carrying out numerous partol enter
prises and their artillery is very active, in
dicating that infantry onsets against the
Russian lines may follow.
In Volyhnia the Russian forces west OF
the Stokhod River have added to their sue
cesses by the capture of number of power
fully fortified positions on the road to Kovel.
General Won Linsengen's men fought stub
bornly to maintain them, but were unable
to Withstand the Russian bombardment and
the rushes of the cossacks.

This is the picture of n boy smoking n
cigarette. The boy found the cigarette in
dirty gutter, See how his little friend
looks up at him with envy. lie thinks that
the boy who is smoking Ia n big man.
Maybe the admiring little boy also wants
to be big man. and will find another dirty
cigarette in the gutter and start smoking.
II the boy who ls smoking heard what big
doctor who has cured hundred of boys
when they were sick, and the Director of
the Department OF Health and Charities
said about boys smoking, and the terrible
diseases that the boy can get from the ci-
garette, he would throw 1t away and never
