BRITISH THROW BACK
ATTACK OF TEUTONS
Germans Make Desperate Might
Assaults in Vain.

London, Aug. 22.-Strong German
detachments drove back British GOV
ering patrols northwest of High WooC
on the Somme front, but were stopped
when they came under the fire OF Brit
ish positions west of the wood, say:
the war office statement. Bombing at
tacks on High wood were repulsed.
British and French made new at
tacks, which won for the French {
strongly fortified wood between Guile
mont and Maurepas and for the British
a section of trenches north Of Ba
zentin-le-Petit General Foch's mer
captured a large quantity of war ma
terial.
The news that General Haig's at
tacks Friday had cleared out the ia
nous Leipsic redoubt, which came il
unofficial dispatches, has caused re
joicing, and military opinion hold:
that these gains were the most I'm
portant since the first stroke of the
offensive.
The advancing troops had worke
around it as a pivot, until it had be
come a sharp and narrow salient. Nov
that it has been cleared, the British
lines lie just below Thiepval. The ad
vances made on the Monacu farm ais;
have frightened the coil around Thiep
val, and will aid in the isolation ant
reduction of this fort, which is the
main German stronghold left in thi:
locality.
Similarly the British entry into the
outskirts of Guillemont means dead
ly menace to Combles, while thu
French advance has made their cap
ture of Maurepas almost certain.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have q rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infihmma-
ton can be taken out and thfs tube
restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in

wilson PLEADS
WITH RAIL CHIEFS
Appeals as One American to
Another to Avert Strike.
REPLY IS PROMISED SOON
The Maenates Announce They Will
Make a Determined Effort to Reach
Decision.

Washington, Aug. 22.-President
Wilson reiterated to the railroad eX'
ecutives, including the new arrivals
from the west, his demand that they
accept his plan for the settlement OF
the threatened railroad strike.
The executives then began the first
of a series of meetings in which they
will frame their reply.
President Wilson's talk to the eXecu
tives was more intimate than any he
has delivered previously and had refer.
ence particularly to the disastrous Ell
feet of a strike upon the country at
this time, when every ounce OF
American energy and Initiative would
have to be modified to meet the extra.
ordinary situation that will follow the
European war.
The president said the war had
taught this country that it could NO
longer remain isolated and provincial;
that by reason of the country's posi-
ton in the affairs of the world I'VE
must be ready to play our role as one
of the dominant influences in the
worlds affairs, and that the varied
business and economic interests Of the
country, In order to meet the exigen'
cies of the new world conditions, must
be brought together into harmonious
whole.
"Our great national resources could
not be made available or modified in
this emergency as a national part OF
Defense" he continued, unless the
railroads are made serviceable instru,
mentalities for backing up any plan
Of national preparedness.
81 will not allow passion to come
into my thought in this solemn matter.
We are both acting as trustees OF
great interests. l am willing to allow
this matter to go to the great Ameri-
can jury and let them assess the re
sponsibility. The responsibility OF
failure will not rest with me.
81 wish you to consider the conse
quences as affecting the people in the
cities and countryside of failure to
agree. The country cannot live if the
means of keeping alive its vitality are
interfered with. The lives and for
tunes of 10O,OOO,OOO men, women and
little ones-many of whom may die
depend on what may be done in this
room. I appeal to you as one Ameri.
can citizen to another to avert this
disaster"
Mr.. Wilson told the railroad execu-
tives he did not blame them for fight
ing for the principle CT arbitration,
but that he believed under the present
circumstances they should accept the
eight-hour day and leave the working
out Of the principle of arbitration until
later.
The railroad executives did not enter
into an argument with the president,
but afterward said they were deeply
impressed and would give full weight
to his argument at their conferences.
As the executives 1feft the White Fhhiftte
House, Mr. Holden, their spokesman,
said there was no change in the situa-
ton, but that the executives would go
into session Immediately in an effort
to reach a decision.
1--WE are now ready to get down to
brass tacks," said one of the railroad
presidents. "Up to the present time
our discussions have been informal
entirely, but from now on we will
make determined efforts to reach a

Greeks Retire Before Rapid Drive OF
Ferdinand's Forces Toward Aegean
Port
London, Aug. 22-With the allied
drive from Salonika, the fourth great
entente offensive just fairly under
way, a Bulgarian counter stroke that
may seriously hinder the progress OF
the allied plans is reported.
Bulgarian troops have crossed the
Mesta river, near the northeastern ex'
tremity of Greece, and seized two
forts and the railroad that runs from
Salonika to Adrianople. They are
sending out patrols toward the port
of Kavala on the AEGEAN sea.
The Bulgarian forces have already
pushed their outposts to point seven
miles from the Greek port. The Greek
government has ordered three divis'
ions (of 10000 men each) of the Greek
army still remaining in the vicinity OF
Drama and Sores to retire before the
Bulgarian advances.
The Bulgarian and German ministers
have repeated previous assurances to
the Greek government that the integ
rity of Greece will be respected. The
French and British ministers at Ath,
ems asked Premier Zaimis what meas
ures Greece purposes taking to control
the civil population in the attacked
districts, who are fleeing in all direc
lions.
Bulgarian air raids on Kilkich and
Yannimsa have killed a number OF
Greeks.
If the Bulgarian advance continued
and the Bulgars occupied Kavala, II
would be a serious setback for the al
lies. Kavala, protected by the Island
of Thasos and on the Gulf of Kavala,
is an excellent harbor in which the al
lies could land troops and which might
be the base for part of the advance
north. If the Bulgarians occupied II
this gateway would be closed to the
allies. strong allied fleet is In the
AEGEAN, however, and it is hardly likely
that the Bulgarians could get the town
itself, but they might we'll prevent
allied troops landing there.
