offensive which has been launched
by the British army ON the German
front is the elimination of q 1--WE days
bombardment, which, in the amount
of ammunition expended and in the
territory involved, exceeds anything
of the kind that has been previously
known in the world war.
For weeks reports have been cur
rent in England and France that the
big push" of the British was about
to commence. 1t was stated that
England had 100000 men, fully
equipped and trained, in preparation
for the supreme effort to break the
German lines. More than 100000
shells are declared to have been fired
daily in the preliminary bombardment,
which extended over a front ninety
miles in length.
Germany Confident.
The menace of the British attack
was fully appreciated in Germany
according to newspaper comments
from Berlin, and the utmost confidence
was expressed in the ability of the
Germans to meet and crush it.
The allies are now on the offensive
in practically every field of the war.
The British assault comes on the heels
of the great successes won by the
Russians in Galacia and Bukowina,
which have resulted in completely
driving the Austrians from Bukowina.
On the Italian front the central pow
ers have also met with severe re-
verses, and for several days the Ital-
ians have been steadily driving the
Austrians from positions in the Tren-
tino. The defense also of Verdun by
the French appears to have stiffened,
and the balance of battle in that bit
terly contested sector appears re-
Gently to have swayed in favor of the
defenders.
Attack on New Method.
The great offensive undertaken by
the British offers, according to reports
from the front and the comments of
military circles. an absolutely new de-

sued by the belligerents. Contrary to
the favorite tactics of the Germans
the British did not attempt a partial
advance by massing their artillery at
a given point on the line and follow
ing an intense bombardmet by in
fairy attack in serried columns.
Employing an enormous number of
guns the British maintained contin-
uous and even bombardmet of the Ger
man lines along the entire ninety
miles Of attack. They sought to level
the German trenches and destroy the
concrete Notifications which sheltered
the German machine gun squads, Hur-
ricanes of shells were also directed
against the German barbed wire en-
fanglements. In the evenings, after
this daily artillery storm, raiding par
ties dashed out from the British lines,
to complete the destruction wrought
by the big gun. IN this way the Brit
ish claim that many prisoners were
taken, machine guns destroyed or cap
tured and the entire defense of the
Germns demoralized.

MONTHLY COUNCIL MEETING.
Bridges Washed Out In June Storm
OmpIeted-IncreaS for En-
gineer.

All members of the city council APP
peared at the meeting held last Tues
day night.
Bills amounting to $2,S9S.O9 were
allowed and ordered paid. This sum
includes the cemetery and Cherry
street bridges which we're washed out
in the storm of two months ago,
amounting to a total of $2,474.
Mr.. Weplxing stated that request
for an increase in salary had come
from Ed Stephens, engineer at the
pumping station. This to take eff
feet July 1, this year. A motion was
made and carried that the increase
be granted and Mr.. Stephens will, iii
the future receive a salary of $3.50
monthly.
The health measure relating to the
disposition of stable manure in the
city limits which was tabled at the last

n definite action was taken on the
motion. The expressed opinion of the
body was that the health officer with
the cooperation of the board of
health, had the authority and could
require all premises in the city to be
kept in a sanitary condition. That
this should be enforced.
There being no further business the
council then adjourned.

CITY WATER PLANT NOTES.

Two holes were found in the sheath
of the standpipe about two weeks ago
that required boring out and the in
sertion of threaded steel plugs. The
holes were said to be nearly an inch
in diameter. The water must be run
down below the surface of the holes
and the holes carefully tapped and
bored.
The c. & N w. road has been pay
ing about $40 a month for water since
the installation of the meter last sum-
mer. Prior to that time the company
was on a fat rate of $40 per month.
The maximum rate is 80 cents per
thousand and the minimum 10 cents.
The meter evidently makes quite a
difference.
The Dobson store is the largest in
dividual water user in the city with a
total of 1925 gallons used during
the month of July. The store paid
S3O.94 for water at the rate of SOC
a thousand for the first 100000 gallons,
Csc for $4,000 gallons and zoe for the
remainder.
The zoe rate applies between 10000
and 10000 gallons after which the
minimum rate of 15 cents per thous-
and gallons takes effect.

THE CATCH OF THE SEASON.

Fishing stories, as a rule, are not
much news simply because everyone
goes fishing and fishermen are prone
to exaggerate. This one, though, is
true, and as the season is young,
worthy of repeating.
Mr.. and Mrs. Delos Edwards and
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Orion fished last
Tuesday at Spring lake near Mozart
ney. That is, they fshed until they
tired of pulling fish out Of the lake.
The ladies caught large quantity OF
sunfish and bull heads and the men
brought home thirty-six black bass,
aggregating forty-eight pounds, and
ten pickerel that averaged two feet in
length. The largest bass weighed
21a pounds.
This is the first report Of right
good fishing so far this year.

NEW BUILDING
At PLATTEWLLE
NORMAL SOON DUE

After a delay of about two years
the funds set aside by the state legis-
Iature for the construction of the new
agriculture and physical and manual
training building at the Platteville
Normal school have at last become
available and the board of regents has
awarded the contracts for the work,
which is to be begun within a few
weeks.
The main contract for construction
is awarded to the J. B. Cullen Con-
struction Co., of GAINESVILLE, for $43,-
073. The heating and ventilating con-
tract goes to Hooper & Schmitt, of
Madison, for S7,SO5; the plumbing to
the Thill-Manning- Whalen Co., of La
Crosse, for S4,747; the marble and
tile to the Wisconsin Mantel & Tile
Co., of Milwaukee, for S1,657; and the
electrical work to the Alex NJ. Railing
