 The man in her stood up with hands cupped over his mouth.
 "Can you hang on awhile longer" he shouted, till can get my boat bailed2 ?"
 I'm all right" she called back.
 She saw him heave up the engine hatch. For minute or two he bailed rapidly. Then he spun the engine with out result He strengthened up at last, stood irresolute second and peeled off his coat.
 The launch lay heavily in the trough. The canoe, rising and clinging on the crest of each wave, was carried for ward few feet at time, taking the run of the sea faster than the disabled motorboat. So now only hundred odd feet separated them, but they could come no nearer, for the canoe was abeam and slowly drifting past

 Sorry that whopping wave put me out of commission" he said at last "Fd have had you ashore by now. Hang on for a minute"
 He made the line fast to a thwart near the bow. Holding fast with one hand, he drew the swamped canoe up to the launch In that continuous roll it was no easy task to get Stella aboard, but they managed it, and presently she

Rritish Success in Holy Land

London. Nov. i5.--A dispatch from British headquarters on the pales- tine front says in part
 Since early morning fighting has been general along a considerable front. According to reports we have made an important advance bringing us within seven miles of Ramleh, northwest of Jerusalem, which is the center of the Turkish position. Our left has been pushed across the Wadi Rubin and occupied Nobueh and reached Fl Kubeibeh.
 "Fhe Turks offered stubborn re- sistance on the front of our right and center, which nevertheless gained ground. Additional prisoners brought the total beyond six thous- and. Ninety guns have been taken.

AMERICANS PULL
 AMBUSH STUNT
Lay for German Patrol and Send Ii to Cover With Dead and Wounded Italians Straighten Their Line
 Subs Lose Terror.

Washington, Nov. i5.-American soldiers have carried out success ful ambush of a German party in No Mans Land on the western front killing and wounding a number of the enemy, while German shells have caused a number of casualties m the American lines.
 An American patrol one night re- gently lay in the mud in wait for an enemy party for which they had ar ranged an ambuscade. X German detachment Of more than twice the size of the American party fell into the trap. The enemy troops were surprised and did not stop to fight scurrying away with their dead and wounded The Americans suffered no casualties.
 Italians Hold at the Piaye.
 Austro-German attempts to cross the Piave have been foiled generally by the Italians and the party that crossed at Benson has not been able to debouch Several attempts have been made to cross the river be- tween Benson and the Adriatic. but only in the marsh land on the coast have the Germans been able to make progress. Here they are under a heavy fire and it is probable that any large number of Austro-Ger- mans will be able to take advantage of the break because of the terrain condition.
 Straighten Their Line.
 On the line from the piave to Lake Garda, the Italians have re- tired northeast of Asiago, reducing the bulge in the Italian line. Aus tro-German pressure here continues heavy, as does it also around Asiago. The invaders have gained some van- tage points on the Asiago plateau and on Sette Commuti, west of Asiago. Another threat to the new Italian defense is noted in a strong German effort between Lake Garda and Lake Ledro. II was the first in this rc- zion but was repulsed.
 Submarines Are Losing Terror
 Germany's submarine campaign apparently is losing it's effectiveness as British losses during inc past week were only one ship over 600 tons and five under that weight. The French and Italian losses were equally insignificant. This was the poorest week the submarines have had since the beginning of the ruth- less warfare in February.
 The Russian Situation.
 Altho Petrograd has not been in communication with the Nystad cable station in Finland for several days reports in Finland for several days. reports from Scandinavia per- sisi that Premier kerpuslsy has gained control of the capital. Re- ports have come also from Sweden that the Bolsheviki maintain their hold on Petrograd and are prepar- ing for a stout resistance against the forces of Premier Kerensky and Generals kornilod and kaledines.
 Tn Moscow, the Bolsheviki appar- entity have been overpowered an unofficial report received in Copen- hagen heinz to the effect that Gen eral KorniloG has taken the krem- lin palace. where the extremists were besieged several days ago. An other rumor says that Siberia has announced it's independence and proclaimed former Emperor Nichol- as as emperor.

Y. M. c. A. BILLIARDS GONE.

The Billiards at the Y M. C. A..
have been removed and will stay
removed as long as Secretary New
man remains at the head of thu
institution. They were put in all good
faith and came out thru an effort
to cooperate with the City Council.
If the public sentiment is against
that particular part of the Associa-
ton work it will quickly disappe ar
and no further reference will be
made to it. Secretary Newman is
trying to do the will of the public
spirited people of Payette who sup
port the religious institutions of the
community and no one will find him
egotistic in his views. The business
men. many of them, gave SIS for the
purchase of the tables and many par
ents thot it the thing to do but in
face of all this Secretary Newman
will follow strictly the ordinance of
the City Council and even go them
one better, in not allowing any man
to play a game. If there is man
in the community who puts in day
time and evening for the benefit of
the community Mr. Newman lays
claim to being that man and his in
terest in the welfare of the com
munity is shown in the fact that
funds have been low recently and
he has been acting forenoons as jani
tor. There are months at time
that Secretary Newman does not
have one evening a week to him
self and now those who claim ex-
empticn from supporting the Y. M.
g. A. on account of Billiards can
come to the Association and show
their interest by doing what they
tables, and if it was only a selfish
excuse the facts will shortly appear.
Push, don't pull or drag your feet,
as the Y M. c. A. needs your help
as never before and it is up to you
it will continue in your
community. Your presence will be
mighty welcome within the Associa-
ton and if you will do your part
you will greatly help the few men
who are carrying the burden of
the Association. There are a few
men who have gone personally on
notes for the Y. M C. A. which
should be challenge to every
man to do his bit.
