All the reports emphasize the
completeness of the success the
British troops achieved. They hold
Veldhoek, ZeVenkote and numerous
strateoieaIly important farms and
wooded tracts, which had been
heavily fortified by the Germans, but
which were captured in the British
sweep
Late yesterday the Germans began
to counter attack, but every thrust
was effectively dealt with by the
British guns. The heavy casualties
sustained in these fruitIess attacks
evidently in1pelled the German COM
nand to order their cessation. for
there were no repetitions during the
night.
London. Sept. 21.-Field Marshal
Haig in later reports regarding the
British offensive yesterday on the
Belgian front to the east Of Ypres,
when the British troops pushed
through the German lines for a dis
lance of more than a mile, says that
the completeness OF the British sue
cess is confirmed by detailed ac-
counts of the battle.
The British war ONCE after the
receipt of Field Marshal Haigs re-
port today issued this bulletin:
Confirms Complete Success.
More detailed accounts Of yester-
days battle confirmed the complete
ness of our success. During the
evening local attacks delivered by US

many counter attacks delivered by
considerable forces of the enemy
during the afternoon and evening
his casualties were unusually great
Warned of Return Attacks.
1.-THE clear light Of the latter part
of the day enabled our troops to OBJ
tain warning OF impending attacks
and in every case the advancing
lines of German infantry were de-
stroyed by the concentrated fire from
our rifles, machine guns and artil-
Iery.
"The obstinacy with which the
enemy constantly repeated his at
tacks only added to his losses with
out recovering for him any of the
valuable ground which we had won.
Exhausted by his previous efforts
the enemy made no counter attacks
during the night and our troops
were able to consolidate the posi-
lions undisturbed.
"Our own losses in the battle are
light.
In the course of the night small
hostile attacks were driven of west
Of Havrincourt and west OF Lens.

Mile Deem in Lines.

British Headquarters in France,
Sept. 20.-(Delayed)-By The Asso-
ciated Press.-The British offensive
which began at dawn over a wide
front east of Ypres salient found the
attacking forces late today holding
many positions Of vital importance
and continuing the fight in German
territory along line which in many
places represented an average gain
Of q mile in depth.
Strong Posts OVerrUn.
Such redoubtable strongholds as
Nuns wood, Glencourse wood, lnver-
ness Copse and Shrewsbury forest,
which have withstood numerous
fierce assaults recently, were entire
" overrun by the British, who
reached points we'll beyond them.
Heavy fighting was continuing at
close range at various points and the
Germans were massing troops with
the evident intention of delivering a
counter attack. -.-. -..-.-...
I has been a day Of great success
for British arms as the wooded
heights they captured east Of Ypres
unquestionably are of crucial import
ance, since these dominating posi-
tions form the keystone Of the Ger
man structure of defense in this sec
tor. The greatest gains have been
made between st. Cullen and
Hollebeke which was as had been
planned, for within this stretch OF
country lie the important defenses
just mentioned.
Some of 5ritain's Finest.
The troops that went out to at
tack represented some of the finest
men in the British army. They
entered the conflict in high spirits
and eager for the fray. Their advance
was preceded by one 70 the most
perfect and heaviest barrage fires
yet attempted. The men went over
the top stripped light and as a re-
suit OF this, coupled with the flne
artillery support, they were enabled
to negotiate the first stages Of the
difficult ground rapidly. They had
swept through Glencourse wood,
Inverness Copse, and the eastern
part of Shrewsbury forest by 8
O'Clock, 2 hours and 20 minutes after
the attack began, and other advance
positions were reached with equal
rapidity, which is remarkable
achievement in view Of the marshy
nature of the ground, due to heavy
rains.

Corn meal will probably be used

the substitute is malt. The price OF

Philadelphia, Dec. 4.-The
anthracite coal operators of
Pennsylvania announced last
night that they had accepted
the terms fixed by the federal
fuel administrator in connection
with the increased wage scale
to the mine workers. This
means that coal will sell for IS
cents a ton higher wholesale
and that miners will get an in
crease in wages equal to all of
this amount. The operators
had decided to ask for a As
cent increase. but as a patriotic
duty decided to abide by the
fuel administrators figures.
This decision was reached at
meeting in New York yester-
day but was not made public
until after midnight this morn
ing upon the return of S. D.
Warriner, president of the Le-
high Coal and Navigation
Company.

ADVISESREDUCED
PRICE OF BREAD
Declares There Is Nothing to
Prevent Sharp Reduction

Washington, Dec. A. Immediate
reduction in bread prices wherever
possible has been recommended 10
bakers throughout the country by
the war emergency council of the
baking Industry. Bakers will go
under government license December

ing q standardized loaf required by
the food administration.
In announcing recently the baking
industry was TO be put under IL

cIared there is no reason why bread
prices should not be sharply reduced.
The information that n reduction has
been recommended came to the food
administration to-day in a telegram
from Henry Stude, of Houston, Tex,
president of the National Association
of bakers. The telegram was similar
to one sent by the war council to

Presidents Message to
Appear in Principal
Capitals of World Today

Washington, Dec. 4.-The Inter-
national character of President Will
sons address was indicated by the
fact that the government placed it
for simultaneous publication in
practically every capital in the
world. Although the address was
not entrusted in advance to Amer
lean newspapers or new distributing
associations, 1t already has been
placed with the London office of
Reuters, the principal European
news distributing agency, which in
turn is to supply others in Europe.
Indirectly the address will get to
Berlin and the other central powers
capitals. It's world wide distribu-
ton is also evidenced by the fact
that it will be available for puhli-
cation to-day in China and Japan.
The secrecy which has been
thrown around the address here in
Washington while it was being trans
mitted by cable and wireless all over
the world, prevailed up to the last
moment.

The President spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the Cnnpress.

The President spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the Congress:
Eight months have elapsed since
! last had the honor of addressing
Ayou. They have been months crowd
Aed with events of immense and grave
significance for us. / shall not under
take to detail or even to summarize
those events. The practical particul-
ars of the part we have played in
them will be laid before you in the
reports of the executive departments.
| shall discuss only our present out
look upon these vast affairs, our
present duties and the immediate
means of accomplishing the objects
we shall hold always in view.
l shall not go back to debate the
causes of the war. The intolerable
wrongs done and planned against us
by the sinister masters of Germany,
have long since become too grossly
obvious and odious to every true
American to need to be rehearSed.
But / shall ask you to consider again
and with n very grave scrutiny our
detectives and the measures by
which we mean to attain them; for
the purpose of discussion here in
this place is action and our action
must move straight towards definite
ends. Our object is, of course, to win
the war and we shall not slacken or
suffer ourselves to be diverted until
it is won. But is worth while asking
and answering the question, when
shall we consider the war won?
Does Not Doubt People
From one point of view it is not
necessary to broach this fundamen-
tai matter. l do not doubt that the
American people know what the war
is about and what sort of an out
come they will regard as a realization
of their purpose in it. AS a nation we
are united in spirit and intention. !
pay little heed to those who tell me
otherwise. ! hear the voices of dis
sent-who does not? L hear the
criticism and the clamor of the
noisy, thoughtless and troublesome.
| also see men here and there fling
themselves in impotent disloyalty
against the calm, indomitable power
of the nation. L hear men debate
peace who understand neither its
nature nor the way in which we may
attain it, with uplifted eyes and un-
broken spirits. But l know that none
of these speak for the nation. They
do not touch the heart of anything.
They may safely be left to strut their
uneasy hour and be forgotten.
But from another point of view
believe that it is necessary to say
plainly what we here at the seat of
action consider the war to be for and
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-12-04

what part we mean to play in the
settlement of it's searching issues.
We are the spokesmen of the Amer
ican people and they have a right to
know whether their purpose is ours.
They desire peace by the overcoming
ot evil, by the defeat once for all
Of the sinister forces that interrupt
peace and render it impossible and
they wish to know how closely our
thought runs with theirs and what
action we propose. They are impa-
uent with those who desire peace by
lhy sort of ompromise-deeply and
indignantly impatient-but they will
be equally impatient with us if we
do not make it plain to them what
our objectives are and what we are
planning for in seeking to make con-
Guest of peace by arms.
/ believe that I speak for them
when ! say two things: First. that
this intolerable thing of which the
n asters of Germany have shown us
the ugly face. this menace of COM
bined intrigue and force, which we
now see so clearly as the German
power. thing without conscience
or honor, or capacity for coVenanted
peace. must he crushed and if il be
not utterly brought to an end, at
least shut out from the friendly in
tercouIse of the nations. and second,
that when this Thing and it's power
are indeed defeated and the time
comes that we can discuss peace
when the German people have
spokesmen whose word we can be-
licVe and when those spokesmen are
ready in the name of their people
To accept the common Judgment of
the nations as to what shall hence
forth be the bases of law and of
covenant for the life of the world
We shal! be willing and glad to pay
the .uI price for peace and pay IL
