THE WAR AT A
GLANCE=

That a German submarine was not
responsible for the damage to the
French cross-channel steamer Sussex,
but that the Germans did sink a
steamer in the region Of the English
channel the afternoon the Sussex met
with disaster, are statements con-
tanned in Germany's reply to the
American governments request for
information concerning the Sussex.
The steamer sank was supposed to be
war vessel. "a mine layer of the re-
Gently built type of the British Arabs
class" says the statement.
The Germans northwest Of Verdun
evidently are holding in leash their
infantry for fresh attacks in their en-
deavor to capture Hill 304 and lie
Mort Homme, key points which are
tenaciously barring their way to the
fortress.
The infantry has remained idle in
their trenches while the big guns are
showerng shells on the region EN-
bracing the triangle formed by Hill
S04, Esnes and lie Mort Homme. Not
even a sally by the Germans in this
district Is reported in the latest
French official communication.
Comparative quiet prevails TO the
east of the Meuse around Douaunonl
and Vaux. where there has recently
been such vicious fighting. No infan
try attacks have been Inade by ei'hAC
side and the activity IF the artillery
has been less marked than on pre-
vious days.
Mining operations and grenade
fighting have taken place in the Ar
gonne forest during which the French
captured the southern edges of two
craters near Lee Courtcs Glasses
The Germans along the Dllkelm-
Ypres road after three attacks invad

expelled from them. while the Brit

trenches near Richebourg L'Avone.
The British official communicated
says the Canadians in their gallant
fighting during the past weeks have
inflicted heavy losses on the Germans

been artillery duels and infantry at

bono and on the rocks of Monte Spe-

casualties.
Elsewhere along the line the ar
tillery duels continue. Dispatches
from Saloniki reported reconnais-
sance of the artillery fighting on the
Greek front between Gievgeli and
Doiran. In Asiatic Turkey, Petrosrad
reports continuation of the Russian
advance west of Erzerum. The Turks,
however. in the region of Bitlis took
the offensive against the invaders but
all their attacks were repulsed.
Although the Turks report a seri-
GUS defeat near Felabie of the British

Townshend's force beleagured in Kut-

Miss Rankin was among the early
and most ardent workers for suffrage
in the West before any states had
granted women the vote, Ii was said,
and fought actively for amendments
in Washington and California. In
these campaigns, 1t is said, she went
into mines and to farms to argue per-
sonally with men and women to in
duce them to fight for suffrage. She
obtained place as field secretary
of the National American Woman Suf-
frage association after leaving New

tablish suffrage organizations there.
