British Early Statement.
An earlier statement reaG

After heavy bombardment three
hostile bombing attacks were made this
morning on High Wood. All were easily
re"ulsed.
Northwest Of High Wood some Of our
covering patrols withdrew before strong
detachments of the enemy, but these
detachments were unable to make any
progress when they came under fire
from our positions west Of the wood.
During the night we effectively relied
portions of the enemy's position, while
the enemy bombarded our trenches in
the vicinity Of Pozieres and the area
northeast Of CoHtGlraison, using gas
shells freely.
Northwest of Hulluch (north Of Ar
ras) and east of lie Plantin the enemy
attempted to raid Jur trenches. These
raids were driven back with loss to the
cremy, who only succeeded in reaching
our lines at one point, from which he
was quickly driven out again.
Near Givenchy the enemy exploded
a mine near one of our forward saps,
but caused US no casualties, and we
made use of the crater as 4 defensive
post. Further north we liberated gas
successfully against the enemy's posi-
tions at two places.

Wedge on the Stok-
hOd Line.

London, Aug. 21.-The Russians con-
tinued their advances to-day on the
Stokhod and Carpathian fronts. They
have met with determined opposition
in the former region, however, and
have been checked in their forward
drive except at few points.
The forces Of Letchitsky which broke
through the Jablonitza Pass two days
ago are still pushing forward into Hun
gary, meeting with little effective re-
sistance. Having seized the heights
dominating Korosmezo, they are slowly
pressing nearer the town along the
railroad to Maramaros Sziget.
South Of Kuty the Russians have
captured Jablonitza and Fereskul, on
the Cheremosh River, which at this
point forms the boundary between Ga
licia and Bukowins, and are moving on
the heights to the westward. Thus
the Austrians are being swept back

have withdrawn into this gateway
virtually the whole OF Southeastern Ga
licis will be cleared of Teuton forces,
and the Russians will be able to con-
centrate their efforts on a northwest
drive toward Lemberg on the flank of
the enemy army guarding Halitz and
the Dniester line.
Austrian Counter Thrusts Win.
In Southwestern Bukowina the Aus
TRANS have been successful in counter
attacks and have seized importan!
heights near Moldava and Kirlibaba
The feature of the Russian campaign
which broke out like tempest on the
Southwestern front over two months
and a half ago is the almost continu-
Gus nature of the fighting. With the
exception of brief interludes for con-
solidating positions or changing the
direction of attack, it has been like
one great sustained battle.
Periods like the present, which are
/ described as "lulls," usually turn out
to have been crowded with intense
fighting, the details of which it has
been the consistent policy of the Rus
sian staff TO hold secret until the op-
erations are ended.

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts like
dynamite on your liver

Calomel loses you a dayl You
know what calomel is. Tt is mef-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ing you. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system.
When you feel bilious, Sluggish,
Gonstipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of danger
Gus calomel just remember that
your druggist sells for SO cents a
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone,
which is entirely vegetable and
pleasant to take and is a perfect
substitute for calomel. It is
guaranteed to start your liver with
out stirring you up inside, and can
not saliyate.
Don't take calomel! It makes
you sick the next day; it loses you
a days work. Dodson's Live Tone
straightens you right up and you
feel great. Give it to the Children
because it is perfectly harmless and
doesn't grippe.

Of the famous aviator, a OF these

mated Aviation Day.
It is doubtful IL there is an aviator
in the world who will tax more dare
devil chances than Thompson. his
wonderful performances cause specta-
tors to gaze in almost Dreatniess
amazement. At tremendous altitude.
when his machine looks like a mere
speck in the air, he loops-the-loop, does
the spiral glide, and goes through other
wonderful stunts with apparently as
much ease and composure as an or
binary man would In a gymnasium.
Thompson has been among the star
attractions al the Louisiana state
Fair the past two years, and eacn year
he has new thrills In his repertoire.
Since performing here the last time ne
has gained much additional tame by
