BRITISH AND ERMANS BATTLE.

LONDON, Aug. 20-The British troops made a consistent advance along the eleven-mile front in the region of Pozierres. They captured ridge overlooking Thiepual, and little later seized the high ground lying to the north of PoZierres The climax of the days successes was the capture of a half-mile of Ger man trenches to the west of High Wood after a terrific charge and hand to hand battle with the Ger mans The long awaited drive of the allies seems to have begun.
 The British have also made an advance along the whole line to the north of the Somme. The Ger mans hurled severe counter attacks against the forces of the allies in this region, but were unable to re- gain any of the ground lost in the recent encounters. It is stated that the drive along the Somme front has had greater success than any movement of the present ground drive of the allies. The losses of the Germans are said to be enor- nous

A reminder of the old feud days of the south occurred to- day when series of fights broke out among the crowd at tending an old settlers reunion at Rocky Comfort The fights were the result of long whis- ky bout, and started as such quarrels usually do, from mere trifles. As result of the fight there are three men dead and eight severely injured The names of those killed are Lewis Larrimore, Thomas Vanslack and J. L. West Most of those who attended the picnic are under arrest either as concerned in the killing directly, or as wit nesses of the affair.
 The old settlers reunion start ed at an early hour in the morn ing. and was to be picnic affair The drinking started im- mediately after the arrival at Rocky Comfort, and by after noon almost all present were under the Influence of liquor Remarks about the families of some of those present started the quarrel, and all those pres ent sided with one faction or the other Words soon grew into blows and a free for all fight was engaged in. Some one fired a gun, and then general fusi Jade followed. resulting in the wholesale slaughter.

LONDON. Aug 20-That the al lies have an extremely well orga- nized plan of attack, and that they are pushing their drives with ter rife force, was proven by yester- days engagements on all the vari- ous fronts On all the fronts the troops of the allies made consistent gains, and their various attacks show that there is some connecting link il the plans of action on al sides
 It has been stated before tha; one reason for the weakness or the drives carried on by the allies has been the lack of concerted actio', on all fronts at the same time. With yesterdays engagements as an example. the allies maintain that this fault has been overcome. The Berlin war office admits that stu pendous assaults were carried Oh yesterday along the Somme front but is non-committal with regard to events elsewhere.

 ALASKA DELEGATE.

SEATTLE. Aug 20.-The leading editorial in the Seattle PostIntcl ligencer this morning was devoted to a discussion of Delegate Wick ersham, of Alaska, and his efforts in the interest of Alaska. The P-l editorial runs, in part, as follows:
 "The money of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle chamber of commerce. has been unselfishly expended in the interests of Alaska The work of Will Parry, member of the fed eral trade commission, and formc" member of the Alaska bureau, and of the port commission of this city has performed Wickersham work in the interests of Alaska. with the cooperation of Secretary of the Interior Lane

Connie Mack Buys
 A Famous Slugger
PING EDDIE GOES TO PHlLA- DeLPHIA AmsRIcANs-is
 LEADING HITTER.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug 20 Connie Mack. manager of the Philadelphia American league baseball team. has purchased Ping Bodie. the famous slugger of the San Francisco Seals, from the San Francisco team of the Pacific Coast league The loss of Bodie will be keenly felt by the Seals, as he has so far been the leading slugger of the Pacific Coast league, and has been one of the mainstays of the San Francisco club. The purchase of Bodie Show Connie Mack's great need for a little hitting power for the Athletics. Mack's pitchers have been work ing well all year but the team lacked sufficient number of three hundred hitters, and as a result it is away down at the bottom of the American league percentage column.
 Bodie is an outfielder. but it is at hitting that he excels. It is not his first tryout in fast company, as he was a member of the Chicago White Sox for some time, being released to Frisco when his hitting and fielding average got too low. This year be seems to have re gained his old batting eye, and he will undoubtedly be of great service to Macks tail enders
 BOdie has joined the Athletics too late in the season, though, to give the Philadelphia team any chance to engage in a fight for the pennant, or even 60 reach the first division.

In the west the tempo not affect the general situation. When their ammunition and sup plies run low, as they have in tho past and undoubtedly will in the near future, the Russians will be forced once more to retreat, and all the ground We have lost in the recent battles in the west will be regained by us.
