NEW ADVANCE IS
MADE NEAR LENS
AND IN BELGIUM

NEW YORK, August 16.-(Compiled
bv the Associated Press from European
cables during the day)-French and
British forces continued their offensive
in the west and won successes in three
distinct sectors during last night and
today.
The British attacked near Ypres, in
Belgium, and the French on the Aisne
front and near Dixmude, in Belgium
All of the ground won by the British
(Canadian) troops near Lens was helc
against vicious counter attacks.
, General Haig reports that while the
British were consolidating their gains
a: Lens they also struck thirty miles
farther north on a wide front, near
Ypres. The official report gives no de-
tails, but reported progress made.
Paris reports that French troops
gained all of their objective points be-
tween Steenstraete and DiXmude, and
that the French attacking a strongly
defended trench system on the Aisne
front advanced their lines one kilome-
tre, the gain being held against coun-
ter attacks.

At
LAST ADJOURNED
ON COMPROMISE

ATLANTA, Ga, August 16.-The
Georgia legislature adjourned at 3:15
O'Clock this morning, after having
agreed upon a compromise appropria-
tion bill, and the senate passing the
council of defense measure. In the
rush of business incident to the close
.of the session the age of consent"
bill was killed.
The compromise bill adopted last
night provides $32OO0O0 for the COM
mon schools, the compromise was
reached only after three conference
committees had worked on it and Gov.
ernor Dorsey had taken hand in the
third committee deliveration. The
governor sat up with the legislature
until the matter was settled, and as an
emergency measure had prepared a
call for an extra session to convene
at 10 o'clock this morning in the event
no bill had been passed. The passage
of the bill, however, made issuance of
the governors proclamation unneces-
sary.
The total appropriated for the COM
mon schools in the compromise meas
ure is 100000 more than was recon-
mended by he appropriations commit
tee Of the house and 100000 less than
provided in the bill passed by the
house The bill as finally adopted
provides 100000 more than the last
appropriation for common schools in
Georgia.
Late in the night, with the prospect
of an expensive and tiresome extra
session staring the assembly squarely
in the face, Speaker Holder put the
proposition squarely up to the house
whether adjournment should be taken
without passing the appropriations bill
and the members voted to stay and
t-y once again, with the result as
above stated None of the college ap-
preparations contained in the original
measure were changed in the compro-
mise measure.
An effort to bring on a ''walkout" in
the house of representatives failed at
noon yesterday and the bone of con-
tention came over from the senate
when the afternoon session convened.
The general appropriations bill was
the ball with which the legislature
played battledore and shuttlecock.
The senate chopped a cool million
dollars off the house bill in one place
and tackled on about $4,000 in other
places. The common school appropria
ton is put at $3,000,OO0 as reported by
the house committee and the fight by
the senate failed to change that figure.
The slice of $4,000 taken off the ap>

to be used for repairs. The other in

SECOND GEORGIA
MEN ANXIOUS To
GET TO TRENCHES

MACON, August 16-Nearly half the
members of the Second Georgia Infan-
try have made application for trans
fers to the new machine gun battal-
ion soon to be mobilized and trained
for service in France. More than a
score of non-commissioned officers
from the other companies in the regi-
ment made application for transfer,
showing a willingness to be reduced
to a private in order that they may
be the first of their outfit to see ac-
tive service in France.
Not only are the men of the Second
anxious to join their comrades in arms
but also many of the First and Fifth
regiments are eager to go. The news
that the new machine gun battalion
would have three companies with 172
men to a company, spread all over
the Georgia brigade and the officers Of
the three companies have hardly HAD
any peace because of the many seek
ing transfers to the war companies" ;"
Albany Company Loses Most.
The Albany company probably lost
more to the three Macon companies
than any of the other units except the
casual, or rookie" company. The Al
bany company is the largest in the
regiment, having more than war
strength and with losing forty men by
transfer will then have about as many
in ranks as the average company in the
brigade.
The Griffin company and the Barnes
Vile company had over thirty men to
the company asking through military
channels to be transferred. Nine Of
tie mounted orderlies of the head
quarters company asked to be trans
fcrred and nearly half of the supply
company.
The Americas Light Infantry will
lose twenty-one and seventeen men
from the Baldwin Blues. The Column
Lus Guards lose fifteen men and the
Forsyth company more than dozen
How Men Are Taken.
There were two or three times as
many who asked for transfers as were
granted, but in the apportionment OF
acceptance men were taken as they
could be spared according to the men
they had in their company. If a COM
pany was not so strong in numbers,
only few men could be accepted,
while if they had full strength, as with
the Albany company, then the accept
ance was larger.
Several transfers of officers was also
made. The new machine gun compa-
MES will have a captain, two first lieu
tenants. three second lieutenants, first
sergeant, mess sergeant, stable ser
eeant. clerk, So idler, horseshoer, sixty
six mounts. 172 enlisted men. To
strengthen the companies, several OF
the best officers in the regiment have
beens transferred.

will make an abundance of rich.

and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily and removes every particle
OF dust. dirt. dandruff and excessive

You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
