GERMANS HIT
BACK in VAIN

LONDON. Aug. 6.-The second
week of the battle of Flanders
opened today with the launching
of German counter attacks against
the British lines.
Clearing weather gave promise
of more favorable conditions for
a resumption of allied opera
tons before the week end.
German counter attacks and
raids at several points were re-
ported repulsed in the statement
of Field Marshal Haig today.
During the night in the neigh
borhood of Hollebeke the enemy
again attacked, Haig stated, but
was driven Off before reaching the
British lines. At Westhoek an
other hostile attack was made
under cover of heavy mar
rage, but this was likewise unsuc-
cessful. At other points raiding
parties were repulsed.
About Lens, the Canadians had
today consolidated positions taken
yesterday.
At some points in the new
line, which was formed, an adj
vance over a front of 1000 yards,
the Canadians are within a little
more than a half mile of the
main section of the coal city.

ROSS FAVORS
BUYING SITE

Frank C. Ross, president of the
Pierce County Boulevard associa-
ton, is a strong advocate of pur-
chasing the Lake Cushman power
site of the Mason County Power
Co., as advocated by Commissioner
Gronen.
His reasons are:
list. Cheap price for the site.
"2d. Can have storage basin
for a mile above the lake impound-
ing thousands of extra horse power
for use at low water in the sum-
mer time.
"3d. Power line can be located
along a short route via Hoodsport,
Potlatch, Union City, Lake Mason,
Allyn, Springfield, Purdy, Point
Evans, crossing the Narrows to
Tacoma. This route can be used
as a direct scenic highway to the
Olympic mountains by the people
in all towns of Pierce county, in
GLIDING the army post. 1t would
connect at Allyn with the fine
scenic road built from there to
shelton and Grays Harbor, via the
west side of the Black Hills, con-
meet with the road to Vaughn and
the road to Bremerton.
18th. Can get government,
state, Mason county, Pierce coun-
ty aid in construction of this power
and scenic route"

THE machine-made life un-

it.
Immoral publications were al

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug.


How many Germans are there?
This question has acquired new
significance from various reports
of German reserves far greater
than calculated on the basis of
the German census.
The discussion of Germany's
reesrve troops has assumed there
are about 100000 Germans
but now Switzerland reports Ger
many has falsified her censuses
since 1875 to catch Europe off its
guard.
These reports placed the actual
number Of Germans at $4,000, 900
when the war began.
Quality Lacking.
A returned Belgian relief COM
missioner, familiar with condi-
lions In England and Germany
before and during the war offers
some opinions backed by personal
observation.
Germany has been lying about
her population, he says. "As a
matter of fact about 100000
young men come OF age every
year, which indicates popula-
ton in excess of $4,000, 1000.
LAS to her reserves, they are
undoubtedly larger than calcu-
lated by the French general staff.
When we left Belgium there were
many more German troops on the
western front than at any other
period of the war.
Quantity is not worrying the
German high command-but
quality and morale are lacking.
Need Better Feeding.
1.-The new troops are of poor
physique, a large part of them
boys without sufficient nourish-
ment during adolescence. They
have had no butter fats and little
meat. A boy needs the most in
tensive feeding from Ia to IS.
1.-THE younger Germans
are not comparable to the
older for physical stamina.
Since Germany became an
industrial nation the ply
sique of the people has been
declining rapidly.

MYSTERY
SHIPS in
SUB WAR

Many illusions have been made
in newspapers during the last few
months to the British ships of
mystery" those strange vessels
which are the terror and bitter
enemy of the Grman U-boats, and
to whose crews no quarter is ever
given by submersibles, but no de-
scription or explanation of these
mystery craft has filtered thru the
wall of censorship maintained by
the British admiralty. Two OF the
ships, recently inspected by the
king. accompanied by newspaper
correspondents, are described by a
writer for the Manchester Guar
dian as H. NJ. S. Hush" and II.
NJ. S. Hush-Hush." He says:
THE journalists followed the
king across the way to what | have
called II. NJ. S. Hush. The hun
dreds of her sailors were on holt
day; they put up magnificent
cheer for the king as they stood
in ranks like a huge open air
meeting on the great expanse of
her afterdeck. This is a business
ship. The naval graces that ling
er on the more conventional ships
are absent from the fittings; the
contours are startling and harsh.
II. NJ. S. Hush imposes; it does
not please the eye.
These mystery ships are the
creation of some bold genius Ia
construction; they leap away from
the orderly sequence of warsnip
construction. III. NJ S. Hush
Hush is the more amazing of the
pair. Perhaps ! may he permit
ed to add that these two ships EN-
body the lessons of the Battle of
Jutland applied by the biggest
minds in the service. Elasticity of
method, constant change and ex-
pertinent make the navy what 1t
is. This time the dreamers in
mechanism have produced things
with nightmarish quality"

Driven to desperation by the
mounting cost of feed. dairymen
are selling expensive mich cows
and Strengthening blooded female

At present prices they cannot

fed to skin or calves, but the fast
dwindling stocks of meat animals

the nation is the increase in pro-
duction of condensed milk for ex-
port. Millions of gallons of milk
are being canned and shipped
