With the British firmly established

German Attacks Fail.
Along the Peronne-Bethune road to
the north and south of BOuchaVesnes,
the Germans, according to Paris, have
vainly attacked the newly won French
positions in the hope Of regaining their
transport line to the north, but all
their efforts have been without sue
cess and the French have maintained
all their gains.
Except for reciprocal bombardments
and a slight advance by the French

Fight Frantically for Boats.

Pacific coastwise service, plying be-
tween Tacoma and Seattle on Puget

the President, were the largest ves-
sells in this service.

reached the Congress they found the
liner almost completely shrouded in
smoke, and the passengers fighting
frantically to enter the life boats.
Despite the stress of the situation,
however, Captain N. E. Cousins and
his crew managed to maintain control
and the work of transferring the peo
pie aboard to the rescue vessels was
carried out in an orderly manner.
Smoke Almost Unbeatable.
Before the last boat load, in which
was Captain Cousins, left the Con-
gress the smoke and heat were almost
unbearable. Flames were shooting out
of the ventilators and up the passage
ways. Soon afterward the flames en-
veloped her from stem to stern, light
ing the sky to crimson hue. With
the wind and tide the steamer then
began drifting III toward the spit on
Coos bay.
The crew of the life saving station
in a power boat reached the Con-
gress shortly after the Niche and Til
lamook arrived, and helped remove the
passengers and crew to the two latter
vessels.

here, as they do not strike me as of
the same class as the Americans in
that division, but you never can tell
until you get in the ring. There are
few middleweights over here just now
whom Darcy has not defeated, so
Snowy Baker has matched him with
Harold Hardwick and is billing it for
the heavyweight championship of Aus
tralia. Red Watson, whom you had
back east for IA time. is hog fat. He
has been touching the bright spots too
much and as result is not having any
work
Jimmy Clabby and Eddie McGoorty
are taking life easy and doing very
well over here. There is talk of match
ing Clabby and McGoorty and also
Clabby and Darcy again. I think OAR
cy also will be matched with McGoorty
for return battle at catchweights
That will give McGoorty quite an ad-
vantage in poundage over the Aus
tralian boy.
Il think that George Chip and Mike
Gibbons would have cleaned up a
barrel of money had they come over
here to meet Darcy. To my mind a
battle between Gibbons and Darcy
would have drawn $4,000 and prob
ably more. The people are crazy for
match of that kind, which would
give Darcy the undisputed worlds title.
The people here would like to see Bat
Ting Nelson in vaudeville, just to get
a glimpse of the once famous Dane.
They realize he is quite through as
fighter, but would like to see him just
the same. With best wishes to all the
boys, yours very truly" etc
