Will Be Served at Hotel Barre Tonight,
Thomas H. Moore Speaker.

Unusual interest in the series OF
monthly dinners inaugurated by the

bureau of advertising of the American
Newspaper Publishers association, is well
known in national advertising circles and

chandise advertiser and manager he is
well qualified to speak on the subject
nearest his heart. Newspaper Advertis-
ing is bound to strike a responsive
chord with those who win attend. For
five years Mr.. Moore was an advertising
manager for John Wanamaker, and for
three years he was in charge of the
concerns. Philadelphia advertising Office.

possibilities The great ridge west oi
the town is in British hands, the Ger.
mans having abandoned the main defen.

half miles.
Berlins official report to-day does not

ations consists of a statement that the
British delivered attacks yesterday and
last night in the Ancre section which
were repulsed with heavy losses to
them.

gian front where the French in an at

region are admitted by Berlin to have
pushed back German post. The French
also held the Germans from effecting
gains on hotly contested positions near
Maisons de Champagne.
The Turks are apparently still in re-
treat up the Tigris from Bagdad. The
official Turkish statement says they have
taken up new position between Bsgdad
and Samara, which is rs miles northeast
of Bagdad.
On the Russian front the operations
consist mostly of raids. In Macedonia,
however, there seems to be an entente
of some prominence in prog
ress. The Berlin statement says the
French attacks have failed with con-
siderable losses.

Fire had secured the whole interior of

chemical tank served to keep it within

the fire started from defective insulation
