BRITISH LAUNCH
GREAT OFFENSIVE
WILL FORCE GERMANS FROM
WEST COAST OF BELGIUM
Gen. HAIC IN COMMAND
EXPRESSES HIS PURPOSE TO
FORCE ARMIES OF PRINCE
BACK ON EAST FRONT

London. Sept. 21.-The British
forces on the Belgian front attacked
the German positions at $40 o'clock
this morning east of Ypres. Field
Marshal Haig reports that satis-
Factory progress was made and that
the British already have captured
some valuable positions. The Brit
ish official statement announcing
that General Haig had taken the
offensive says I'VE attacked at $40
this morning on a wide front east
of Ypres. Satisfactory. progress is
reported; our troops have already
captured some valuable positions"
Haig's selection of a battle front
east of Ypres as the scene of the
latest offensive against the Germans
Indicates it is continuance of the
expressed purpose of the British
commander-in-chief to force the ar
mics of Crown Prince Ruppecht of
Bavaria, from the western coast of
Belgium and to cut off the German
submarine and airplane bases on
the North Sea from Zeebrugge to
Nieuport, including Ostend. The
British drive apparently is being
made in the direction of Roulers
and Courtrai. from which Belgian
towns the Germans have been evac-
uating the civilian population.

NATIONAL GOVERNMENT MAX.
ING INQUIRY AS TO SPACE
WOULD ENLARGE B. N. s.
NATIONAL SANITAR1UM IN THIS
CITY MAY BE ENLARGED TO
CARE FOR WAR VICTIMS

Inquiries coming from the govern
ment al to the capacity and the
Iurtner available space ON which ia
erect more buildings cause many to
tnlnk that Uncle Sam is contem-
plating the enlargement of the
Battle Mountain Sanitarium in this
city to anticipate the many unfor-
tunates who will need just such a
hospital in which to receive treat
ment and to recuperate should this
war last long enough for Uncle
SANS boys to get into the thickest
OF the fight across the water.
Nothing deinate has been done
as yet but as the Sanitarium under
present conditions has been almost
fuS to capacity for several years,
1T is highly probable that more
buildings will be built regardless
of the war.

HUGH OLDFIELD KILLED ABOUT
7:15 P. M. MONDAY
LADY PASSENGER ESCAPES
WAS DRIVING UP HILL NEAR
GRADE BUILDING WHEN THE
ACCIDENT OCCURRED

the auto hack business here for the
past couple of years, met with an
accident Monday evening while
making q drive which caused his
death. Mr.. Oldfield had been called
to the home of Rev. Oliver G. John
son on College Hill to take Mrs.
johnson to the Battle Mountain
Sanitarium where her son who was
home for short time was to speak.
Mr.. Oldfeld's machine had been in
the garage during the day but he
failed to wait until his lights could
drive without lights.
After stopping at the public lib
rary for short time he attempted
to make the steep hill just south
of the grade school and as the hill
is dangerous at any time owing to
the fact that the road is very mar
row it was very hazerdous without
lights.
From the tracks of the machine
1t seems that he barely missed going
into the ravine several times but
had almost made the top when the
auto and its occupants went over
the embankment. The machine
turned over completely at least
three times before landing in the
bottom. Mrs. Johnson was able to
crawl from under the machine when
it stopped rolling and made her way
to the home of Rev. James where
phone call was sent for help.
The accident occurred about 7:15
and men arriving from the Sanitar-
ium and down town a few minutes
later found Mr.. Oldfeld under the
machine with the running board
across his head, he having been
killed almost instantly. The body
was taken to the Joyce Undertaking
Parlors.
Mrs. Johnson was taken to the
Sisters Hospital where after a
thorough examination it was found
that she had suffered no broken
bones but was quite badly bruised
about the chest. The shock however
has caused her to remain there dur
ing the week.
Hugh Oldfield was born in Illinois
on August 18th, 1847 and was
killed September 18th. 1917, being
seventy-one years and one month
old at the time of the fatal accident.
AAo q yOuA6 AAoA AS AlOvOV WVSt
and located at Tecumseh, Nebraska,
where he lived for eighteen years.
Later he moved to Blain county,
Nebraska, where he resided six
years. December 21st, 1871 he was
married at Tecumseh to Ella Shriver
and to this union was born five
children. three sons and two daugh-
ters. four of them surviving him.
The children are: G. N. Oldfield, A.
w. Oldfeld. Mrs. George F. Luce
and Mrs. H. B. Gregory, all of. Te-
cumseh.
His first wife having died he
moved to Hot Springs in 1911 and
on December 1st of that year was
married to Mrs. Mary A. Ellsworth,
who also survives him. For the past
couple of years he has conducted an
auto hack and last spring was elect
ed as one of the aldermen of the
city.
Funeral services were conducted
this afternoon from the Methodist
church conducted by Rev. A. L.
Olson and the remains laid to rest
In the Evergreen cemetery. His
children named above and also Earl
A. Chambers and wife. of Scots
Bluffs. Nebraska. were here to at
tend the funeral.
