Speed of French Advance
Took Germans Completely
by Surprise Along Somme

Paris, Sept. Ia. - The speed of the
French advance in Tuesdays battle
on the Sonme front took the Germans
completely by surprise, according to
a description Of the fighting given by
an eye witness He said:
THE attack began at 1880 p. M.
in perfect order. The officers had
difficulty holding their men, some OF
whom started even before the ap-
pointed time. In a few minutes the
first objective was carried and at
1895 the news arrived tha tthe Ber-
Then information came in fast OF
further gains and the observers saw
a stream of surrendering Germans
running toward the French lines.
MANY of the Germans who sur
rendered were hit by the curtain fire
Of their own artillery. Most of them
were troops who had recently arrived
from the Verdun front. The prisoners
declared that though they expected the
attack the rapidity with which it was
delivered took them by surprise. They
said that when they started to come
out from their shelters they found
the French troops already in the
trenches.
The Germans seems to have suffer-
ed very heavy losses from the pre-
liminary bombardment alone. A cap
tain said that his company lost more
than half its effectives during this
bombardment. The coordination be-
tween the artillery and the infantry
was perfect, thanks to the aviators
One aviator located a German battery
of 1865 and gave the range to the
French artillery with satisfactory re-
suits.
by o'clock part of a brigade OF
light infantry had reached the
Bethune-St. Quentin road before
Bouchavesnes. The attack on Bouch-
avesnes began at 4:30. Half an hour
later Bengal light blazed from the
center of the village as a signal that
the French troops had entered the
place and at o'clock its capture was
completed. This brings our advance
on this front since July to a depth OF
ten kilometers."

RHEU MATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine Rem
edy For the Disease Has
Been Found

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy sold by H. c. Kennedy and all
druggists, gives quicker and more
lasting relief than other remedies
costing many times as much.
Rheuma passes the deadly poison
Gus secretions into the bowels and
kidneys, from which they are quickly
thrown off in a natural, healthy way
Read what reputable physician
says about Rheuma: "I have made
a most careful investigation Of the
formula employed in the. manufacture
of Rheuma, and heartily recommend
1t as remedy for all forms of rheu-
matism. I find Rheuma far in ad-
vance of the methods generally en-
ployed in the treatment of rheuma-
tism, and altogether different in COM
position from the remedies usually
prescribed" - DR.. Lyons.

rheumatism confidence to try

NEWS OF STEELTON
MILLS RUSHED TO
FILL Big ORDERS
New Business Takes Secondary
Place in Hurry to Make New
Production Records

Producers and consumers of steel
are so beset with delivery problems,
says the Iron Age to-day, that for the
time new transactions are taking a
secondary place. The operation. of
mills is more satisfactory under Sep
tember conditions and some headway
against accumulated orders should be
made in the next six weeks.
The outstanding fact in the present
congestion is the small impression
made upon it by the years additions to

will be in operation before the close
of the year. This is an per cent. in
crease on the 10000, ,000-ton rate Of
steel production at the beginning of
1915, or less than the normal gain.
There is little promise of any pro-
nounced change in the relation of sup
ply and demand from new capacity be-
fore the middle of next year, If then.
Now contracting for steel to be de-
livered in the first half of 1917 is not
noteworthy, yet a good many con-
sumers have not covered for that
period. In the case of plates a good

Of next year is already booked. and

WOULD MOTORIZE
FIVE COMPANIES
Firemen Suggest That Modern
Apparatus Be Provided All
Companies in Borough

With final passage by council of an
ordinance authorizing the sale of $685.
600 worth of bonds for the purchase
OF motor fire apparatus and garbage
truck, borough f1remen are watching
with interest the developments in the
plan to purchase trucks.
1t is pretty generally understood
that the purchase of vne truck for
garbage collections will be sufficient
to meet all demands and that this will
cost not more than about $4,000.
With the remaining $4,000 it has
been suggested on the floor Of council
that three pieces of motor apparatus
be purchased and assigned to central
companies.
Among firemen, however, it has
been suggested that council, If it de-
sires, can purchase five motor ap-
paratuses and in this manner motor
ize the entire department, eliminating
horses entirely. To obtain funds to
do this it would be necessary to
transfer the $4,000 voted several
years ago for erection of a sanitary
hospital into the fire apparatus fund.
This $4,000 which was obtained by
issuing bonds for which the borough
annually, is drawing but 8 per cent.
in bank
Firemen point out that this yearly
interest loss for which nothing is OBJ
tanned should be wiped out as soon
as possible and suggest that the best
plan for doing this would be to use the
money for purchase of fire trucks.

DISASTROUS FIRE
o. F. Cox Loses over ST. 900 in
Sundays Conflagration.

o. F. Cox, the pioneer citizen
about nine miles north of town,
lost eleven head of sheep, valu-
able calf, two buggies and two
wagons in the fire of Sunday last,
and from information CLEANED
from the neighbors the Coxes are
fortunate that their home is not
a mass of ruins also.
The origin of the fire is said to
be enveloped in mystery, but the
most probable cause assigned by
the neighbors is, that a prairie
schooner containing a camp stove
passed there shortly before the
blaze, and that spark from the
projecting stove-pipe was waited
into the hay by the strong wind,
which caused the damage above
referred to.
Mr.. Cox was in Beloit, Wis,
on Sunday, when his children
telegraphed the news of the fire,
but returned on Tuesday last.

U. S. MAIL ROUTES LET
Essig & Winter Successful Bid
ders for South Route, andJ.
G. Davis for North Route

After weeks of watchful wait
ing on the part of the various
bidders for the two new mail
routes starting from Holly April
1st, word came from. official
Washington last Saturday that
the successful bidder for the
Holly-Stonington daily mail route
was Essig & Winter, who will
receive $4,000 per year for the
service, besides the heavy ex-
press and freight business, which
should yield fully double that
sum.
The successful bidder for the
Holly-Towner tri-weekly mail
route was j. G. Davis of Holly,
who will receive $720 per year
for the next two years, over and
above the income from both ex-
press and freight.
The vast importance to Holly
of the above routes was tipped
off at some length by The Chief
tain some weeks ago, and as the
date for the initial trips approach
preparations are being made on
big scale by many farmers along
each route for the numerous ad-
vantages which will be theirs for
the asking.
