ALLIES SWEEP

French and British Take
Trenches North and

CBy the international New. serviceJ

(By the international News Service.)
London, Aug. ia new blow, for
which the French and British artillery
has been preparing the way for more
than two days, was struck this afternoon
against the German front both north and
south of the Somme. AS a result Teuton
trenches were carried on a two-mile front
on both sides of the villages of Maure-
pas to a depth of from $50 to 600 yards,
while south Of the river the German line
three-quarters of mile long was seized
by the French.
These successes, which mark the open
ing of the fourth phase Of the bloody
struggle in Picardy, have enabled the
allies TO penetrate at points the Guile
mont-Maurepas road. besides giving
them complete control of the highway
from Maurepas to Clery. The village Of
Maurepas itself is practically in thefr
hands
Surrounded on three sides, and with
French troops engaging the Germans in
the outskirts, its complete capture is eX-
pected at any moment.
The hamlet is one of the foundation
stones OF the German defense in this re-
gion. each house having been separately
fortified and each barn a small arsenal
Today's attacks. coming on the heels OF
declarations from Germany that the al
lied offensive in Picardy was definitely
halted and that the German lines could
never be broken, are taken here to indi-
cate that the French and British are de-
termined at all costs to keep up their
desperate offensive.
Heavy losses were inflicted today on
the Germans, the official statement issued
at midnight in Paris says. while a large
number of prisoners. the total Of which
has not yet been reported. were cap
tured.
The French success south OF the Somme
was won in one Irresistible dash. which
carried the victorious troopers clear
across the German advanced lines.

New York. Aug. 16-The importation
of thirty additional nurses from Canada
and the beginning of a new educational
campaign today gave added evidence
that the department of health regards
the fight against infantile paralysis as
only begun. Fluctuations in the new
case list and the death list, now up
and now down, mean nothing, depart
ment officials declared.
Secretary of the Treasury William G.

that in answer to its plea, permission
had been obtained for thirty nurses from
Canada to enter the country. These
nurses were engaged last week, but were
held up by immigration authorities be-
cause of the statute barring persons
under contract. The urgency of the
case impelled the Bureau of Immigra-
ton, a part of Mr.. McAdoo's depart
ment, to waive the law, for the first
time in years.

He found lithOgraPhing presses. chem

the other essentials of complete plant
for making counterfeit money.
Antonio Monteforti expert engraver,
who was at work was arrested, along
with Luigi Barracotta, who was proudly
surveying a big press that had been
moved recently into the ground floor.
An alleged plot to flood the country
with Sl,ooo,OOO in counterfeit 81, s.. S and
$40 bills was uncovered. it is said, just
before the leaders were ready TO print
and send the money to the middlemen.
The scheme was the biggest and most
elaborate that has been unearthed in
many years, and the arrests were made
and the paraphernalia seized before one
bill had been printed.
Chief Flynn nipped a scheme that had
been worked out with the utmost detail
According TO the evidence obtained, the
plan OF the big enterprise was to make
enough plates So that s1.OOO,O0O of the
notes could be printed within a short
time. The next step contemplated was
to destroy the entire counterfeiting equip
ment and dispose of the bills at the rate
of 35 cents on the dollar, realizing about

There was not flaw in the smooth
scheme-except one, namely that two OF
the conspirators were overheard dis.
cussing a phase of it one night in an
Italian cafe. That was in March. When
Chief Flynn got word of the plot he
and Captain Henry began a skillful and

Throughout Germany the authorities

This symptom OF revolt among large

Complete removal of the censorship
may be expected shortly, as the authori-
ties can no longer oppose the increas-
ing stream of protests and the bitter
agitation among the people. The only
result of the governments measures OF
suppression is the appearance in sue
cession of secretly produced pamphlets
distributed from hand to hand, which are

AT ODDS
ON D. c. BILL
Conferees Agree on Details,
but Leave Main Points
Unsettled.

Conferees on the District Of Colurn-
bia appropriation bill held two long ses-
sions yesterday without discussing any
Of the major points in dispute between
the House and the Senate.
On a number Of minor details. such as
increases for the public schools, ad-
ditionaI compensation for library and
other District employees, the conference
came 10 an agreement but the adjour-
ment until today left the main points
in controversy yet TO be decided.
The big questions are the half-snd-hslf
plan OF taxation favored by the Senate
as against the House provision for a
two-thirds assessment on residents Of
the District. the Sterling amendment
for taxing Intangible property. the 75
District, and firemen's and policemen's
pensions.
None OF these matters was touched
upon at the conference yesterday and Il
now seems certain that an agreement
is not possible unless the House gives
further instructions to the conferees. or
the Senate recedes from its stand on the
disputed provisions.
It will be difficult to get quorum
Of the House from now on because
hundreds OF members left Tuesday night
and yesterday and will not return until
after their election fights have been
decided.
Under these circumstances It appears
as though the existing appropriation for
the District will be continued for an
other year, through the passage OF
resolution. Such action automatically
kills any hope Of appropriations for i'm
