HA|G'S INFANTRY DELIVERS
 SEVERE BLOW ID KAISER
Great Strategic Gains-Thousands of Prisoners Are Taken But Posi- tion Secured Is Vastly
 More Important.

London, Oct. 4-Over the top O. five miles Of the rugged ridge north east of Gpres, Sir Douglas Haig s infantry legions surged early to- day in the final drive of this year s battle of Flanders. To a depth of Q m le. and more at points, they stormod on. ana made themselves masters of many and manifold works of Ge 'ence representing all the skill and cunning that twentieth century science could build in the three years that ths ground has been held by the Teutons.
 The end of days bitter battle saw the British indisputabie through still disputed possessors of all but small portion of the ground they lest to the Germans in the two first battles of Ypres, October and No- vombor. 1914. and April and May, 1915.
 That long, low ridge stretching toward Messines, south of Ypres, rortheastward as far as Paschen, lecle. is now almost entirely cleared O Teutons. With it's possession the British dominate the vast plains of Flanders, particularly between the Nenin and Roulers roads.
 A German retreat on a wide front either in the remaining four weeks Of fighting weather this year or with the inception of the next spring campaign. is looked for as the inevitable result of today's new Brit sh drive.
 Haig's Somme strategy has been repeated in every detail in Flanders and today was crowned with success and glory.
 Thousands of prisoners have been
 sounted already. But prisoners iii today's battle were secondary to the large strategic consequences Of this new British advance. The attack was made on a front apprcXimating nine miles, roughly
 between the Roulers road at Pasch- endaele and the Menin road and Ghcluveit. the latter a village that has probably seen more blood flow ng thus far than any other spot in the war except those north of Yer dun.
 The preliminaries advance was
 made on the southern sector of this attacking front. between Gheluvelt and Broodseinde villages. The lat ter place is, among those captured by the victors.

The Tom Lawson
Market Investigation
Members Declare Assertions Absurd
National Park Proposition Urged
OYSTERS AND DENSE FOG
Hon. James A. Frear's Interesting
Items From Washington, o. C.

Congress has been investigating
leaks lately with the result thatTom
Lawson will tell all he knows about
stock gambling by Members Of Con-
gress and how advance information
affecting the stock market leaks out
from Administrative circles. A COM
mittee has been appointed to make
an investigation and report without
delay. Members generally declare
that not half dozen members of
both Houses combined ever take fly
ers on the market, presumably be-
cause the hotels and other local es-
Establishments carry off all their sur
plus cash in advance. An Iowa pa
per stated that U. S. Stone had dealt
in several thousand shares just be-
fore the recent drop in prices. Sens-
tor Stone denounced the statement
as an unmitigated and base SANDER.
In the midst of his grafton, Senator
Borah called attention to the mis-
print which related to u. S. Steel
instead of Stone.
During the past week an annual
gathering of people interested in
National parks has been held in this
city. One purpose is to interest Con-
gress in taking over for National
park purposes. great mountains like
Mt. Mckinley up in Alaska, which is
declared to have the greatest height
from its base of any mountain in the
world although only slightly over
10000 feet high. Many mountains
rise from the midst of a range of
surrounding hills but the giant Nc
Kinley rises from base Of about
$4,000 feet to the topmost peak with
in distance Of less than six miles.
With the new Alaska railway owned
by the government it will be a popu-
lar resort in years to come and the
association named seeks to have it
set apart as one of the greatest of
all our national parks.
