loving hands and physicians could
do, but Gods will be done and we
bow down in humble submission.
So young and full of life. So much

best. How hard to say grieve not.
dear husband and darling babe, par

safe in the arms of Jesus, from all
sufferings and heartaches of this sin
full world. Why should we grieve?
Our loss is her eternal gain; so weep
no more, for while we are in this
world of trouble our loved one has
gone to live in that beautiful home
beyond the grave. Her dear spirit
will wait in love until we meet at
Jesus feet, to be separated no more.
The remains were laid to rest in
the beautiful cemetery at Eupora.
Cease then, fond nature, cease thy
tears,
Thy Savior dwells on high;
Where everlasting spring appears
There joys shall never die.

BRITISH FIGHT WAY INTO
COMBLES; SEIZE REDOUBT
ON ROAD TO BAPAUME

LONDON, Sept. rs.
British troops fought their way into Com
bles today. achieving one of the most i'm
portant victories they have won on the
Somme front
The War Office In announcing the PEN
ttration Of the important French town by
the British stated that the German de-
tenders were putting up desperate resist
ance, but that it was being overcome by
the attacking forces.
The British victory, achieved after three
weeks of desperate driving against the
German center, is the most striking single
achievement of the whole Somme offensive
1t removes one of the last two obstacles
to an Anglo-Frenoh thrust to squeeze the
Germans out of one of the three objectives
OF the Great Allied advance. s.s
The capture of Combles followed a day
and night of most brilliant Allied successes
including the capture of the villages Of
Morval and Les Boeufs by the British
and Rancourt and Fregcourt by the
French In summing UP the days sue
cessful operations, General Haig reported
that 1900 Germans were captured by the
British and that more prisoners are being
brought in. The work of listing large sup
plies OF war material also captured has
not been completed.
Combles was entered after advances by
both British and French in yesterdays

garrison which made its escape almost

RULES FOR THE TRAFFIC

WEST CHESTER Pa. Sept. 2e.--Iet-
tors received today by borough Councilmen
from A. Merritt Taylor's Philadelphia and
West Chester Traction Company are taken
as indications that trolley freight service
win soon be effective between Philadel-
phia and this borough.
Advice of such eminent counsel as John
q. johnson emphasizes that the traction
company has a legal right to start the
freight service without consent of councils
here. This advice caused Mr.. Taylor to
notify the councilmen In the letter that the
company will, as soon as possible. resume
the transportation of light freight and ex-
press matter to and from West Chester" /"
Furthermore, the company asserts council
itself is violating the law when II does not
serve this town by trolley freight
Public sentiment in this quiet and quaint
little opwn Is apparently with the corpora
tion against the lawmakers The mer-
chants and consumers realize the advan-
tage to be gained by the services which
other districts served by the company now
have and have not hesitated to express
their opinions on the question.
In September, 1912, the traction COM
pany, in accordance with the desire to
facilitate the movement of freight between
the rich farm lands in this vicinity and the
shopping zone in Philadelphia, requested
borough council to pass an ordinance Civ
ing 1t permission to lay tracks from the
terminus of its line on Gay street 20 the
proposed light freight and express service
depot on Walnut street, 200 feet away.
Councils refused to do so unless Walnut
street, on which the tracks were to be laid,
would be paved with vitrihed brick from
curb TO curb, while the Traction company
would agree only to paving and maintain
ing the street between the rails and twenty
four inches outside thereof, with the same
paving used by the borough itself. This
caused four-year deadlock. but the senti-
ment of the towhsfolk showed itself In the
defeat Of councilmen holding up the freight
service, until the borough council now is
inclined to favor the proposition.
It is difficult to estimate the great bene-
fits that are expected to result from the
establishment of the service, but, judging
from the pressure being put on Councilmen
to rush a favorable ordinance through at
their next meeting, 1t is likely that the
farmers along the route from here to Phila-
delphia. as well as the tradesmen, viii use
the service to its full extent.
