Lens again Is the center of the fighting
on the western front. The Canadians have
taken Hill 70 dominating the city from the
north and are within the city itself, en-
gagng the Germans in desperate fighting
Mt close quarters, after advancing on n
two-mile front to an extreme depth of one
mile
For several weeks the Canadians slowly
have been closing in their lines on the
west, northwest and southwest in prepara-
tion for a supreme effort to place TINS
center of the coal fields of the Pas De
Calais in their possession. Hill 20, just east
of Loos and north of Lens, has peen the
great stumbling block
Early Wednesday the Canadians stormed
the hill. The splendid effort was success
full, and within few hours the important
position was cleared of Germans. the
Canadians swept on toward Lens from
the northwest, capturing several suburbs
and entering the western part of the city.
The Germans tried desperately to check
the Canadian advance but five counter at
tacks were in vain. While suffering only
slight casualties themselves, the Cana
dams inflicted heavy losses on the Ger
mans and captured almost 300 prisoners.
In Flanders the intense artillery fighting
goes on with undiminished vigor. The in

FUNERAL Of SLAIN
GIRL At ST. ALbANS
Police Apparently No Nearer q
Solution of the Hemming-
way Murder.

st. Albans, Aug. 15.-State's Attorney
W. r. McFeeters continued in this city
to-day the secret inquest into the death
of Jennie, the 14-year-old daughter of
Henry Hemingway Of Catherine treet.
This afternoon the city court was request
ed to cause Private Robert Warm to enter
into a recognizance with surety for his
appearance as witness before the grand
jury and in default of such surety to COM
init him to the Franklin county Jail until
such time as is required to testify.
At ten o'clock the funeral of the girl
was held at the Baptist Church, the pas
tor, the Rev. ]. Wesley Rafter, officiating.
The church was filled but only COM
fortably so. The bearers were Charles
and Louis Hemingway, Leo Nolan, Joe
Wiley, Max Cleveland and Walter Nc
Mann. Relatives present from out of town
were Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Hemingway.
George Hemingway and the Misses Ma
bel, Nellie, Anna and Winifred Hemming-
way The burial took place in Green
wood cemetery.
So far as can be acertained the police
officers do not at this time entertain the
theory that the murder was premedtated.
They are said to be at work on the theory
that her friend, the soldier. Robert Warm.

young woman by the throat to prevent
her screaming for help. his grip having
been so strong as to cause strangulation.
| 1t is not yet certain in the opinion OF
the officers, that the girl died where her
body was found. 1t is also understood that
Warm will be called to account more
definitely for himself during the night
after he met Miss Hemmngway's uncle
Joe Wiley, and asked him il he had seen
Jennie.
Although no statement is made by the
authorities conducting the inquest. it is
rumored that witnesses were summoned
to-day who testified that Warm, or some
soldier who looked like him. was on the
Newton road Sunday night between eight
and ten O'Clock walking arm in arm
with a girl dressed like Miss Hemmng.

not 20 down the road at that time but
after the pursuit by the soldiers went to
Lake street and from there to other points
about the city. Wiley says he thinks II
was between $3.50 and 9:45 O'Clock that he
met Warm on Lake street.
There appears now to be unanimity OF
opinion among the officers working or
the case that Warm knows more about
the matter than he has told.
