The White Flag Of Henry w.

The white flag was adopted by the
Huguenot party in France, and was
made the national flag during the
reign of Henry of Navarro (Henry "
of France), first king of the house of
Bourbon. The whole history of the
flag of France up to the Revolution
is somewhat confused, as there were
so many different standards and en-
blems. But the white flag of Henry
Of Navarro remained as the standard
Of the Bourbons, the national ensign
Of France, for more than 200 years
II was restored after the revolution
republic, consulate, and empire, when
the Bourbons came back to power in
1914, and was the flag of the French
nation until 1880.

British Expected
Temporary Revefses

(By John Buchan, England's fore
most writer on military affairs.)
LONDON, August S.-When the
bombardment ceased on the morning
of July 1st, and the Allied troops left
their trenches in the Big Push on a
25 mile front, they did not expect an
even steady advance.
A rigid line of German fortifica-
tions stretches from Nieuport to the
Alps. There are no gaps. The de-
fense has its first position, consist
ing of several trench lines; an inter
mediate position; and second and
final position some way back, of the
same type as the first. The labours
Of eighteen months have made each
position a miracle of human ingenui-
ty-a labyrinth of trenches and a SUBJ
terranean city of dug-outs.
No such front can be broken at the
first attempt.
In the area of attack, of which AL
bert the point of division, the Ger
mans on the north were prepared and
the high plateau over which their
lines ran was a formidable obstacle
to any advance. In the southern
part the ground was easier, the enc
my weaker and real surprise was
achieved.
The British objective in the north
the enemy's first position, except at
one or two points, was not attained.
Villages were blotted out and miles
of country reduced to the appearance
of ploughed field by the Allied bonn
but the German guns, we'll
hidden behind the ridges were intact
and before the hour came for thAr
British to cross their parapets they
opened a counter bombardment ON the
British first line. That linz was
largely destroyed, but the British in-
fantry, under = devastating artillery

Durango from Our
Files IS Years Ago

General M. Cogswell, the superin-
tendent of the Soldiers Home at
Washington, has been spending sew
eral days over to Fort Lewis, accom-,
panied by his daughter Miss Susie
Cogswell. He left this this morning
for Santa Fe which was his old
stamping ground for many years.
General Cogswell visited all this
country more than 20 years ago. He
marched from Santa Fe by the way
Of Pagosa Springs to the Animas val
ley, crossing the present site of Du-
range and up Lightner creek, passed
the place where Fort Lewis is now
located, out by the Big Bend of the
Dolores then out to the Juction OF
the Grand and Green rivers and back
by the way of the San Juan valley.
He carried his stores all the way,
on pack animals, and took flocks OF
sheep with him for the sustenance
of his men. The expedition was
against the Indians and thru hos
tile country.
An old Mexican 80 years of age act.
ed as guide on the expedition, and
besides being as tough as knot prov
ed to be a very interesting old fel-
low.
One of the legends he gave of
Pagosa Springs has probably never
before appeared in print. At night,
he said, that little men of gay and
red apparel, with red hats and feath-
ers, come out from the springs with
their little reed instruments and dis
course sweet music, but if disturbed
they Immediately plunge into the
spring again and disappear The old
nan claimed to have frequently seen
hese genii of the spring.
Another and more beautiful leg,
end related by him was in regard t,
the extensive prehistoric ruins of the
San Juan valley. These he claimed
are peopled by phantoms of their
former mhabltantS. AT SundoWn the
phantom young men and maidens
drive their flocks and herds in from
the fields with laugh and song and
merry jest and in the morning again
at sunrise may be seen leading them
out again into the pastures and fields
for the day. But at the slightest
noise or indication that they are be-
ing observed they vanish like the
baseless fabric of dream.
In all this long march made by
General Cogswell, occupying over
three months time, he lost neither
man or beast and when he informed
Us in our present little interview, that
ne expected to meet his four footed
friends in Heaven, we knew the rea-

fire, advanced steadily across No
Mans Land between the lines.
Then the German first trenches
awoke. Their occupants had retreat
ed to the deepest dug outs, sometimes
fifty feet below the ground. They
now appeared and manned their front
lines, firing with machine guns and
automatic rifles. Both sides showed
the most conspicuous gallantry.
The attack as a whole was broken
up before it reached the German fir
ing line. Whole battalions disappear
ed as fighting units. By the even
ing of the first day the enemy's po-
sition in the northern section was un-
shaken.
It was different in the south. There
the Allies had the benefit of a real
surprise. In some places the innitial
bombardment seemed to have destroy
ed resistance, and the attack advanc-
ed with scarcely causalty across
trenches filled with German dead. In
a few hours the immediate objective
was completely attained. All the
German first line position was car
ried on a front of more than IL miles.
One French regiment had only two
wounded and the casualties of one
whole corps were under 800 The Ger
man losses were very high.
The first stage of the battle was
beyond doubt great Allied success.
The objective was completely attain
ed on an ample front and the way
prepared for the stroke against the
final German position. Without the
sacrifice in the north the success of
the British right wing and the French
would have been impossible.
We are only looking at the begin
ming of the greatest battle in history
1t will be a slow and costly fight, foi
Germany knows it is her last stand
The Allies will pursue their plan
soberly and methodically, with no at
tempt at blind rushes or wild ventures
The German man-power is shrinking
low. They have been compelled tc
send divisions from Verdun to helI
Hindenburg against Russia, and il
| providing reserves for the present
battle they are driven to scrape W
battalions from every part of theil
western front. Reserves obtained il
this way, men already wearied viii
much fighting must inevitably be {
frail reed to lean upon. One battal
ion hurried up from the South wa
captured intact by the British al
hour or two after it had detrained
| A French officer who was aske,
about the capture of guns, replied
"We do not want guns. Krupp cal
manufacture them faster than we cal
take them. But Krupp cannot man
ufaeture men,"

A Thrilling Adventure, With a Bear.
Mr.. w. F. Robbins of Pine River,
on Tuesday brought into town, sill
yer tip bear, which weighed when
dressed about three hundred pounds.
The bear being dead, the editor of this
paper, boldly examined him. We OBJ
served it is better to examine bears
while in that condition, in preference
20 any other. The brute was killed
On the first of the month by Mr..
Robbins single handed. At one time
according to his report 1t was
mooted question whether he would
come out first or second best. When
first seen by him, the bear was about
700 yards head Of him, on the
mountain side, and among the thick
.inderbrush. The bear was moving
around feeding. Taking deliberate
lim, Mr.. X fired and hit him in the
front of one shoulder, the ball coming
,ut on the opposite side in the rear
IF the other. He started to run. Mr..
Robbins fired again and as he was
running from him he hit him in the
rump and then started in pursuit.
The underbrush being very dense,
ne could not easily calculate his
whereabouts, and in the eagerness of
he pursuit, unwittingly got too near
and the bear saw him for the first
lime. He at once raised on his hind
teet and started in the direction OF
his assailant. AS he did so Mr.. r.
rot in another shot, which broke his
| Jaw, but did not stop his progress.
Mr.. Robbins cody waited his coming
with his gun at rest. The latter was
1 magazine Spencer, which he had
eloaded by this time, feeling the i'm
portance of getting in home shot
When within Is yards, he turned loose
| he ball penetrating the breast of the
animal. Even this did not stop him
and on he came propelled in meas,
ure by the momentum of his owr
speed. He came on so rapidly tina,
,obbins did not have time o.
work the lever to throw another cart
ridge into his gun; so as he came
within reach he jammed the muzzlt
| in the bears mouth. The SHOCK
threw Robbins to the ground and the
bear on top of him, but the latter
Immediately rolled over dead at hi!
side. The last shot had finished him
Had it been otherwise, Mr.. Robbins
would have hardly been able to tel
she story of his narrow escape.
The Silver tip bear is the mos
formidable of the of the bear kind
unless it be the grizzly, and some
assert it is even worse foe to con
tend with. 1t is equally savage ant
tenacious of life and is more nimbls
on foot. Mr.. Robbins says that hi
supposed this one to be a black bear
else he would not have followed him
