Ypres Victory Is
One of Greatest
In Whole War
rBy The Associated FresI

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND
BELGIUM. Oct. 5.-The sun this morn
ing was shining down through the
crisp October air on an unwaverlng
line Of victorious troops along the new
defences which they reached in yester-
davis great drive. The night had
brought virtually no change in the sit
uation and the British were rapidly
consolidating the positions that were
the fruit Of one Of the most important
conquests Of the war. The night was
comparatively calm as far as infantry
action was concerned.
The enemy, however, concentrated an
Intense artillery IRE on the entire bat
tie front, and during yesterday after
noon and eveunC they masset their
shattered troops al various places for
counter attacks. These were attempts
born of desperation. and in almost
every case the onrushlng waves Of Ger
man infantry were caught IN q heavy
artillery. machine gun and rifle fire
and crushed before they reached their
detectives.
The German artillery fire was par
Ccularly heavy up 20 midnight along
the section JUST north Of the Menln
road in the vclnitv Of Poldcrhoek.
I'm the afternoon and evening the
enemy launched FIVE counter attacks IN
this sector Of the front, but each time
they were driven back with heavy
losses.
A little further north in the neigh
borhood OF Reutel the Germans met
with little more success. Twice they
essayed 20 press back the British
troops, and twice they were hurled
back.
The British victory yesterday was
one Of the greatest of the war Indeed
when the whole story Of the battle has
been told it may take It's place as ar
unequalled triumph Of three years OF
conflict

 Two previous attempts, the first in 1911 and the second last Janu- ary, were made to effect a merger of the two commercial bodies. Both efforts failed because of the refusal of the chamber to consent to the transaction of business by the mem- bershlp in open forum instead of by trustees.
 Under the plan of the present merger the membership. it is de- clared, can direct policies by con- trolling the election of the president and trustees.

 Have the Plans.
SHOWERS TO GET FUND
Old Furnishings Stored When Home Abandoned Are Lost, Money Is
 Needed for New.

The Russian Mission Orphanage Home for Boys is to be reOpcned at Sitka within a short time, if the plans of Phillpp, Bishop of Alaska, and the other clergymen of the Rus sian Church in Alaska are carried out
 The Russian Orpanage was first established at Sitka in 1893 and was a great assurance to many of the orphan boys Of the congregation of that church. The youngsters were cared for, clothed, fed and educated absolutely free of charge and many a young man in Alaska owes his education to the Orphanage.
 In 1910 the Orphanage was closed on account of the head office of the Russian Church in America, situated in New York, diverting the funds of the school to other work, At that time the furnishings of the school were stored, but since then, have all disappeared. The clergy working in Alaska have made persistent efforts to have the school reOpened, but without success, until the arrival Of Bishop Philipp, who at once took ,he matter up with the head office and secured the necessary funds for the operation of the school.
 On discovering the fact that the dishes. blankets, and furnishings had disappeared means were at once sought to refurni8h the school. Re- gently Bishop Philipp gave a shower and tea with very gratifying success. Many useful and valuable articles were given to the school by the pub lie and congregation of Sitka.
 Father A. P. Kashevaroft, of Jul neau, who has always been one of the strongest workers for the re-es- .ablishment of the school is planning on giving tea and shower in Ju. neau shortly after the Russian holi. days. which occurs late this week and early next, for the purpose of rais. ing additional furnishings and funds for the school.
 Father Kasheyaroff, who visited Sit ka recently to participate in the tooth Anniversary celebration which took place there and who was present at the shower, recently received the fol- lowing letter from Bishop Philipp:
