ALLIES CONTINUE
TO GAIN GROUND
BRITISH CAPTURE THE TOWN OF
FRlcoURT AND FRENCH TAKE
TWO TOWNS.
BRITISH AEROPLANES ACTIVE
Near La 6oisselle the Germans Are
Offering Stubborn Resistance
But British Report Gains.

London-The grand offensive OF the
British and French armies, operating
on both sides of the Somme, contin-
ued with the capture of Fricourt, three
miles east of Albert; Curlu, seven
miles southeast of Albert; Frise, south
of Curlu, and the wood of Mareau-
court, also south of Curlu, and the
capture of 5000 more prisoners, max
ing the total $500. Reports show
that the fighting is continued unabaled
all along the 25-mile front.
The German defense has stiffene:
determinedly following the shock Of
the first onslaught in which the Anglo
French hosts penetrated the German
lines over front OF nearly 20 miles
and to a distance in the center of
five miles. The Teutons, apparently
reinforced by their reserves, attacked
vigorously at Montauban, the point OF
the wedge which the Allies had driven
into their lines, and also at Harde-
court, but were repulsed. At no point
have the Germans recovered any OF
the ground lost.
The town of Fricourt was captured
by the British after a terrific strug-
gle. The town had been virtually cut
off by the British capture of Mametz,
on the east, and Montauban on the
northeast, and its fall had been ex-
pected hourly. Here the British cap
tured 500 unwounded prisoners and
thus increased their captives to a total
of $500.
The British official statement shows
that the heaviest fighting oc-
Cured in the area between the
Ancre and the Somme. on the north
ern section of the Somme front, es-
pecially about Fricourt and La
Boisselle. Following the reduction OF
Fricourt, the British made some pro-
gress east of the village. Near La
Boisselle the Germans are Offering
particularly stubborn resistance, but
the British here also, the war Office
announces, are making satisfactory
progress.
During the fighting the British state
ment discloses, British aeroplanes
were very active in cooperating with
the land forces and afforded valuable
assistance by bombing numerous Ger
man field headquarters and railway
centers. In one OF these raids, the
British aviators were attacked by a
score OF Fokkers, but succeeded in
driving them off. Two OF the Fokkers
fell and were destroyed. Three of the
British aeroplanes are reported miss
ing and probably fell behind the Ger
man lines.

purchasers and sold lots to the
amount of $306.25. Another commit
tee obtained contributions from for
mer lot owners to the amount of SOL,
and from two individuals came gifts
Of 500 and $25 respectively, all of
which totaled S532.25. In order to
complete the purchase $500 was Dor
lowed from the bank. Immediately
after the property came into possess
sion of the association it was neces-
sary to patch up the old fence in or
der to keep out the cows and to clear
out the mass of brush, moss and
weeds that formed tangled carpet
over the whole place. These eXpendl-
lures and several necessary inciden-
tails, such as new plat, plat book,
etc. very nearly exhausted the bal
ance left in the treasury after the
purchase price was paid. -,
In July, 1914, the Town Council
gave 500, and during the first half
OF 1915, the V. I. A. gave $169.95 to
the Cemetery Association. With
these gifts and the comparatively
small amount which have come in
from sales of lots and from annual
assessments, the trustees were able
to put up last summer permanent,
suitable iron and concrete fence along
the front of the cemetery at cost
of $3SS.SS; to eXpend 1882 in clear
ing and cleaning; to have a new sur
vev made and to keep up the payment
of the annual interest of S32 on the
loan. Very soon the cemetery will
be cleaned and raked again.
1t is very clear that the Crescent
City Cemetery Association is not a
self-sustaining organization. During
the three years of its existence, it has
received gifts from non-lot-holding
parties amounting to S394.95, and car
ries an interest bearing debt of $500.
At the last annual meeting it was
decided to make at least a small pay
ment on the principal of the loan, and
some of the trustees. and members
have offered to contribute toward
this object.
1t is earnestly hoped that all de-
linquent members (all lot owners are
members) will promptly and willing
ly pay their assessments. The trus-
tees are more than anxious to make
permanent improvements, but these
cannot be made without money.
