FLOWER OF KAISER'S ARMY
tnY lraocIarrn paIEsl

LONDON, July S.-With the aid of
innumerable guns and waves of in
lantry the British army continues to
make slow progress in its efforts to
bring the front line between the
Ancre and Montauban on level with
the French line further south, the
French having pushed further ahead
than their allies. This EFFORT on the
part OF the British has led to the
most furious fighting in which the
British troops have been engaged.
The flower of the German army has
been brought FORWARD. 80 oppose
them and guns and ammdhition are
being used lavishly.
According to reports from Holland,
Belgium has been denuded of German
soldiers to meet the Anglo-French Of
fensive and the railway stations even
in the larger towns are guarded by
the older reserviSts.
London is Pleased.
In London the reports OF the Brit
ish commander, Sir Douglas Haig,
are awaited eagerly and although the
arrival OF wounded tells the price
which is being paid for the advance,
the news Of the small gains is being
received with quiet satisfaction.
Notwithstanding the enormous
call on German reserves for the bat
tie in Picardy the crowd prince has
resumed the offensive at Verdun and
yesterday made further repeated at
tacks near Thiaumont work without
meeting any success.

Of the other big awards. They are
the kind of things that people work
hard for.
You can win them If you will make
up your mind to get busy now and
create big reserve vote for use at
the close of the campaign. If you
do this you will be one Of the hap
piest persons in the world when you
see your name in the winning list on
July %.
Resolve to Succeed.
Do not feel blue whenever you run
across a snag in your efforts to Sc
cure votes. The very fact that you
are going to win prizes worth more
than the ordinary man can save up
for years to come. make other people
envious. And when folks are en-
vious, they knock. Don't let these
people make ap impression upon you.
Work all the harder and in the end
you will find they are your friends
Just the same for all the world loves
a winner. Make up your mind to sue
ceed. Success in the campaign
means nine-tenths getting out and
writing up subscriptions, You must
put forth a sincere effort for the short
time which the campaign endures.
Remember only few more days and
the prizes will be yours.
You Must Work.
When you make up your mind that
you would like to have one of the
big awards, then work. Don't try
to sneak into the prIzo winning list
by putting in few dollars in sub
scriptions out of your own pocket
Votes cannot be bought or sold in
any way and it's mighty poor policy
to try to substitute money for whole
some, honest, EFFORT. Work never
hurt anyone and 1t won't hurt you
to try 1t either. Set your heart on
winning and then work won't be hard
but a real pleasure.
Opportunity is all around you tc
secore thousands of votes. So star
neutrality-suspicious. 1t is forever toe
late.

As Result of Revelation OF He
gal Acts Brought On in Habe-
as Corpus Proceedings.

Friday evenings Parkersburg Sen
tinel has the following to say in re-
portin habeas corpus liquor cases
brought in court there by Clarks-
burgers:
Brief mention was made in the

Nicciporo, which was fled in court
he reclted that he Is a resident OF
Harrison county, and that on July 4

chased six quarts of whiskey; that
the said whiskey was encased in a
suit case, properly labeled, but that
in some manner, upon arriving in
Parkersburg the labels were de-
tached; that the petitioner was ar
rested by Captain W. A. Smith at the
instance and request Of one j. Wal
ter Bee, and was incarcerated in the
Jail Of Wood county, where he now
is; 1t was further represented that
there was no warrant, charge or in
dictment preferred against him, so
far as he was able to ascertain, and
that the jailor Of Wood county held
no commitment from any competent
authority authorizing him to detain
the petitioner; that the iailer is Who'll
ly without justification and is unlaw-
full and illegal. The petition Of the
other foreigner was in the same Ian
guage.
1t was upon these petitions that
Judge McDougle issued the writ
which wa sdirected against Sheriff
William Devore as the jailer Of Wood
county, directing him to produce the
body OF the petitioner before the
court and show cause, If any they
can, why the petitioner is thus held
and that he may have such other fur
ther and general relief as the circum-
stances Of the case may require. The
case was set for a hearing at two
o'clock this afternoon.
The prisoners, who, 1t is said, were

until they were produced in court to-
day by Sheriff Dew -e, as Mr.. Bee,
