On Front Of Mile and Half to
Depth Of TwO-thirds Of a
Mile Foe is Smashed.
TWO FRENCH LINES TAKEN
Positions Lost on Left Bank
Of Mouse June 70 Seized
as Charge Starts.

A powerful attack by the French
on the left bank of the Meuse result
ed in the capture of German positions
on a front of more than a mile and a
half to the depth of about two-thirds
of mile.
The war Office statement ANNOUNCE
ing this gain says that the Germans
offered an energetic defense and suf-
fered heavy losses, especially in their
cOunter-attacks.
The Russians through strategic
reasons have been forced to abandon
Kalusz and have taken up a position
on the southern side of the Lomnica
River. The important crossing of the
Lomnica was made secure.
Intensive air fighting continues,
and in the latest engagement the Brit
ish drove down six German machines
and forced three others down out of
control.
The early days of the war, when
German shipping was being combed
up on the seven seas by the British
feet, are recalled by announcement
from London of the capture of four
German steamers by British destroy
ers. The captures were affected in the
North Sea. None of the quartet was
a large vessel, the average of the four
being about l, 600 tons. They were ac-
companied by two other German
steamers. All made for shore when
signalled and the two that finally
reached the Dutch coast were badly
damaged by gun fire.

Leaders Back U. S. Right to
Buy Fuel, Wheat, Meat,
. Potatoes and Beans.
TIME WASTED KNOCKING

Washington, July 10. Sentiment
inthe senate toward compromising diff
ferences on the food control bill APP
parently crystalized on group of
amendments drawn up at joint con-
ferences of democratic and republican
leaders.
While on the senate floor another
day was spent in criticism of the de-
Tense council and other executive
bodies, a reprint of the bill was made
embodying the leaders proposals
which are expected to remove many
basic objections and develop general
support.
Principal revisions recommended
by the leaders are for limitation of
government control of foods, feeds
and fuel, including kerosene and gas
oline; creation of special board OF
food administration of three salaried
commissioners instead of administra-
ton by an individual; fixing by con-
gress of a basic minimum price OF
$1.75 per bushel of No. northern
wheat; extension Of government Ii
censing to elevators, farm machinery,
factories, packing houses, coal mines
and dealers, fertilizer producers and
wholesalers Of such products and
government purchase and sale, to
secure reasonable prices of fuel,
wheat, flour, meat, beans and pota-
toes only.

City Forces to Put South Vir-
GINA Street In Order
Without Delay.
WORK NEAR CITY LIMITS
Kentucky Asphalt to Be Used
II 1t Can Possibly Be Sc
cured in Time.

The work of rebuilding South Vir-
ginia street has been commenced,
Some time back the new street was
made from Seventh to 18th streets
but now work has been begun at the
southern end. Concrete pavements
have been built from Alumnae Ave-
nue. down to the Virginia street school
and the city has begun to tear up the
old street from Alumnae to Goth
street. 1t is necessary that concrete
pavements be laid before work on the
new street can be started, so while
work is being pushed on the section
above mentioned, the pavements from
Doth to 18th street will be laid.
AS soon as the work now being
done on First street is completed, the
entire force at the city's command
will be conferred on Virginia street, so
as to have this busy thoroughfare in
readiness for the heavy traffic that
goes with the Pennyroyal Fair.
For several years Virginia street
has been one of the most used streets
in the city, yet it has always been in
the worst condition and all the citi-
zens of Hopkinsville will rejoice
when the new street is completed
1t is not known whether the stree
will be made with Kentucky rock as
phalt or not, as the supply of this ma
terial is limited, but the street will be
rebuilt from the foundation up and
will become one of the best in the
city.

HOUSEWIVES
WELCOMED
Soldier Boys All Were Glad
To Get One.

The housewives" or sewing kits,
recently sent to the members of Com
pany d at Lexington by the Hopkins
vile chapter of the Woman's section
{. Of the Navy League, made big hi
with the soldiers.
The following letter from Captain
Sites, in behalf of the entire compa-
ny, expresses the appreciation and
thanks Of the men:
July 10, 1917.
To the Ladies of the Hopkinsville
Chapter of the Woman's Section of
the Navy League:
"Our Housewives" arrived this
afternoon and now every man in the
Company has one. There is no way
to fully appreciate their convenience,
except to be out in camp and sud-
denly have button pop off or a seam
rip, then you see the soldier rush for
his housewife" especially if there is
an inspection coming off that day or
the next.
There is no place like home to any
body, but that old saying applies most
emphatically to us who hail from Hop
town. We have not forgotten you all
and the thing that pleases us is that
you have not forgotten us. Other
towns have their companies, but the
Hopkinsville company is the only one
equipped with Housewives.
Then we have those sweaters COM
ing-it seems sort of funny to be talk
ing about sweaters this time of the
year, but they will surely come in
good when winter gets here. There
is no question about you all spelling
us-nor is there any question about
our liking to be spoiled.
With you ladies back of us, we are
bound to try, and you sure are with
us all the time.
1t must be unnecessary for us to
tell you how much we appreciate your
being so kind to us, for that goes
without saying. wish we were so
situated that ench one of you could be
thanked personally, but please be
sure that our hats are off to you all
the time and that the Hopkinsville
Ladies of the Navy League are the
best and most loyal in the world. We
think it here and well think it when
we get to France. Thanking you
again, we are,
Sincerely,
Company d, 3rd Ky. Inft., I
