German Success
On the Belgian coast east of Dunkirk
the British and Germans are fighting
again along the User. the scene of many
hard-fought battles. BY destroying the
bridges across the User between Newport
and the North sea coast, the Germans
were able to advance and occupy the iso-
lated section. Berlin claims the capture
of 1850 prisoners in the penetration of 6o0
yards along a front of 400 yards.
Further inland near Lombaertzyide, the
Germans did not have as much success.
After gaining some advanced positions
the British threw the attackers back to
their own lines by counter attack.
Whether the German effort is an
other attempt to reach Dunkirk or
Calais or is merely stroke to offset
d probable British offensive has not
developed yet.
The latest British official statement
does not mention additional infantry
fighting on this sector and says that
the German artillery fire has diminish
ed in intensity German attempts
southeast of Arras and in the vicin-
ity of Lens on Wednesday were with
out success.
Violent artillery fighting marked
Wednesday on the Aisne and Cham
payne fronts in France east of the
Meuse in the Verdun region. North
west of Selo on the Carso, the Italians
have occupied the Austrian town of
Dolipa.

Drinking Parties Make the

ARE SORRY

Many people who have particularly
enjoyed Fortescue in the summon
time are expressing regret that the
changed conditions there make the
Island more or less Objectionable.
particularly on Sunday.
Whether or not liquor and beer are
sold at the report, certain is it that
on Sundays vast quantities of intox-
lcants are brought on the island by
parties and drinking is indulged in
TO the disgust of the decent people
who visit the place.
The drinking is in the open. Trucks
and large cars with passengers. come
to Fortescue loaded with cases and
kegs of beer, and the parties camp
wherever it is convenient and all of
the stuff is drank openly, and neces-
sarily as the effect of the intoxicants
develop, there is more or less bois-
ferrous and disorderly conduct. Wo-
men as we'll as men indulge in the
booze and make a most Objectionable
picture to those who do not approve
of this method of entertainment.
Many of those who own Fortescue
property are beginning to feel that
they will not keep their holdings if
the drinking practice is not stopped.
The result of promiscuous drinking
Is providing good deal of drunken
ness and if the conditions become
worse there may be an appeal to the
authorities.
There is considerable evidence of

week, but the high spots are touched

body expressed the greatest regret
as they gazed upon the ruin, much of
which cannot be retlaced or repaired.
Among other things lost was the
unique sun dial which has long been
in the parry. This was swept out into
the river.
The city water will not be affected
by the accident. The stop gates will
hold the water in the lake assuring
a nomal head of water there.
Before o'clock practically all of
the water had emptied from the race
way and Morningside Park was
drained. Great quantities of dirt and
sand were left deposited upon the
lawns, and the jagged breaks in race
way and river walls were revealed
in their ugliness. The gates at the
intake of the sluice carrying water
into the Johnson mill were washed
out, and it will be a considerable time
before water power can be secured
for the mill. The loss, at this time,
falls heavily upon the Johnson Bros.
1t is estimated that at least $4,000
will be required to repair the dam
ages, and there is the additional mis-
fortune to have the disaster come Just
at this time when everyone is enjoy
ing the park and raceway boating is
at its height. The hundreds of boat
owners were about the broken banks
this morning all expressing the great
est regret.
The suggestion is made that if pos
sible a temporary repair be made to
hold the water in the raceway and
provide for the immediate resump-
ton of boating.
One plan is to built a sheet piling
temporarily at the rustic bridge by
the boat livery which would require
but little materials and take but a
couple of days. This would allow the
water to be held in the raceway and
give plenty of time for the perma-
nent repairs of the broken banks.
The Park Commission and City
Council will probably have an early
conference meeting.

WILL TRY JERSEY

A Mr.. Smith arrived here from
Montana, on his way to Newport.
Mr.. Smith said he had purchased a
little farm at Newport. A few years
ago he said he took out homestead
in Montana. At first he had tough
time, but at last he made two good
crops, got boom prices, a railroad
was put through to his place, every
thing doomed and he sold his home
stead in the boom and now he will
try New Jersey, the garden state.
He looked like a wise man.
