BRITISH, IN DEADLY
ATTACK, DRIVE GERMANS
FROM HOME TRENCH
CONTINUED from Page ~

They had hoped for counter attack
to rescue them. but the British had
foreseen this and met it with blasts
from artillery and machine guns they
had Immediately put in position for
that purpose.
The prisoners whom the correspond
ent saw were Of the 29th. Prussian
regiment and were Of the sturdiest
German soldier type. much superior to
those of the Eleventh division who
became disorganized and surrendered
freely in front of Pozeres recently.
They looked we'll and their uniforms
show few Of the usual effects of trench
struggles Some of them laughted
over the manner in which they had
been trapped and they were generally
very happy for they had heard what
had happened to those who had tried
to resist in such hopeless situation.
Elsewhere the story was Of many
trenches gained with some last and
relentless action throughout the
night, the infantry laboring in the
moist earth fighting for the possession
Of water logged shell craters while
the artillerists kept at their work, hot
guns sizzling from the rain.
Once when the British troops,
caught by machine gun fire had to
yield a position and found counter
attack developing, twenty seconds
after their S. o. S. signal to the ar
tillery commander. guns were trained
On that counter attack with a curtain
of fire that sent 1t to cover.

Minneapolis, Aug. 21-sept. wheat

wheat market has not changed Its &C
ton any today and new high marks
are made as easily as formerly. Sept.
sold up to $1.61 1-s: Dec. $1.5S 3-4
with closing quotations only fraction
under the high mark Of the day. The
market seems to advance Just as easi-
ly as 1t did considerably lower. There
were several setbacks today but the
market Immediately turned strong on
these breaks and quickly regained all
Of the loss. There was a wide range
at the opening this morning followed
by a sharp setback from early high
points. The U. 8. visible supply Of
wheat showed an increase, $3.50. 900

MONDAY EVENING. AUGUST 21.
WHERE DO THEY STAND?

Nearly two months have passed
since the state primaries. and we will
soon be in the activities of the fall
campaign. A good many people are
still wondering just what is the atti-
tude of the candidates who were
nominated on the Republican ticket,
and whether they desire to be con-
sidered Republicans or not.
All Of these candidates with the
exception of Mr.. Steen, who was
nominated for state treasurer. were
nominated or endorsed-the term is
immaterial-by the Non-partisan
league. Technically the league is not
a political party. 1t is a voluntary
association of persons regardless Of
political affiliation but an association
organized for political purposes. On
the state ticket it endorsed number
Of Republican candidates and one
Democrat. For legislative offices there
were endorsed some Republicans
some Democrats. and, as we recall
it, some Socialists. In most cases the
league nominees were successful. and
received the endorsement Of the vot-
ers in their respective parties.
The individual is free to act in his
political relations as he may see At.
and he is accountable to no man. If
he chooses to vote for all the Repub-
lican state candidates except the can
didate for treasurer, and for the
Democratic nominee for that Office
and, perohance. for a Socialist can
didate for the legislature, no person
has a right to question his act. He
is his own master
But the candidate occupies little
different position. He is public
character. He is in the attitude of
soliciting votes. And those whose
votes he desires have right to some
knowledge Of his attitude on public
affairs. They have a right to know
what policies Of state government he
approves. and, because he is a poll
tical candidate. nominated by poll
ttcal party, they have a right to
know something of his political at
titude Concretely. they have a right
to know whether he is in favor Of
the election Of the entire Republican
ticket or only part of it.
The expressions of the Nom partisan
Leader the official organ Of the lea
que, do not tend to straighten out
the confusion. In recent issue Of
the Leader the statement is made
with emphasis that the members Of
the organization are not Republicans.
that they are not Democrats. that
they are not Socialists but that they
are Non-partisans, and the Inference
is that the support of the league will
be given on that basis So far as this
concerns the members as individuals,

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENs GRAY HAIR.
It's, Grandmothe1s Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss
and Thickness.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and
llfeless, is caused by lack Of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made up
a mixture OF Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands Of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade Of hair which is 80 attrac-
tive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
turc by asking at any drug store for a
5O-cent bottle Of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell 1t has been
applied. Besides, 1t takes off dandruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair
You just dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights the ladies'
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is that,
besides beautifully darkenlng the hair
after few applications, 1t also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives
1t an appearance Of abundance.-Ad-
vertisement.

FAMOUS WAR PRICES"
War prices for raw print paper and
other materials are driving the pub
fishers of the big downtown ad sheets
to new policies. At the meeting of
the Chicago Publishers assn, known
as the Trust Press, it was proposed
last week that the number of editions
printed daily should be suit down.
The question was still in the air when
they quit talking on it. But it will be
up again at future meetings of the
association just as sure as the war
goes on.
Already the red screamers that
used to be seen on the Hearst papers
are off the front page because prices
! of cOlOTed inks have jumped from 20
! to 500 per cent since the war started.
} Predictions are that other changes
will come, among them the dropping
of one edition a day.
Leading job print houses are send
ing out a card showing a list of be-
fOre-the-war prices and present
prices of raw materials used in paper
making. In the following list the
price raises from 1914 to 1916 are
shown: Alum, 1c. a pound to 4c.;
bleach, 11ac. pound to &c. a pound;
