Sioux Falls organizing two COM
panies. There being no law, either
state or national, providing for such

plan was adopted which calls for the
subscribing to the usual form OF oath

inspire a patriotic spirit in a CON-
munity as well as showing a ready re-
Spouse on the part Of many to per-
form such service as they might be
called upon to give. Second, it gives

WESTERN FRONT 7

NEW YORK, August 10.-(Compiled
by the Associated Press from Euro
pean cables during the day While
Entente guns hammering the German
lines in Flanders, apparently are equal
to the original bombardment, infantry
movements there have again become
more active Two important gains are
reported today, British and French
forces advancing on a seven-mile front,
taking in Westhoke. 1t is reported
that British troops cleared the Teu-
tons out of Westhoke and occupied a
ridge near the town, this giving the
british a better grip than ever on the
line east of Ypres.. The French made
further gains near BiXschoote, on the
Flanders front.
The British made extensive trench
raids during last night and today on
the Arras front, and the Canadians con-
tinue to get a tighter grip around Lens,
the center of rich mining district
long held by the Germans.

The plan is to insure at minimum
cost and provides for family allow
ances to dependents, and indemnifica-
ton for disabilities sustained in the
military service. The re-education and
rehabilitatioh>o of injured men at gov
ernment expense would be made com
pulsory by the terms of the bills.

and men to allot q minimum of not
less than $500 a month out of their
pay for the sustenance of dependent
wives and children, with maximum
compulsory allotment to such de-
pendents of half the pay received
by every enlisted soldier. Liberal in
IDENTITIES for losses sustained are
planned to be paid under the terms of
the proposed new laws.
