Game and Bird Reservations.


serves and 81 bird reservations are
maintained by the biological survey
Of the department Of agriculture. The
mammal reservations include the
Montana bison range. the Wind Cave
game preserve in South Dakota, the
Niobrara reservation in Nebraska. the
elk refuge In Wyoming. and the Sullys
Hill game preserve in North Dakota.
The Niobrara reservation was in
tended as bird reserve, but has been
stocked with big game and is at pres
ent maintained chiefly for buffalo and
elk, according to the annual report Of
the chief Of the biological survey, just
issued. In the first three reservations
mentioned the herds Of buffalo have
shown a notable increase since their
establishment few years ago. says
the report. and now include 2O7 head,
or more than third of all the buffalo
which now belong to the government.
The elk number about 100 and the
antelope 40, making a total of about
400 head of big game.
The number of bird reservations
was increased during the year by the
addition Of the Big Lake reservation
in Arkansas. Sixty-seven reservations
are now maintained primarily for
birds. The report urges the import
ance and necessity Of retaining as
breeding grounds for water fowl and
other birds tracts of land which are
not especially valuable for agricul-
tural purposes. The area of marsh
land necessary for breeding grounds is
insignificant, it is said. in comparison
with the benefits which will accrue to
the public through the increase in
our supply Of game birds.

Haig Launches Latest Offens-
i've Against German Lines
East of Ypres
PROGRESS IS REPORTED
First Assault Wins Important
Positions Held by
Germans

London, Sept. 20.-The British
forces on the Belgian front attacked
the German positions at $40 o'clock
this morning east of Ypres. Field
Marshal Haig reports that satisfac-
tory progress was made and that the
British already have captured some
valuable positions.
British Headquarters in France and
Belgium, Sept 90 Field Marshal
Haig's offensive which was begun at
dawn this morning on the Belgian
battle front is proceeding with mark
ed success, especially in the crucial
sector between the Ypres-Roulers
railway and Hollebek.
A bitter fight is in progress in the
neighborhood of Inverness oopse,
Nuns wood and Glencorse wood. If
the attackers maintain the positions
to which they have advanced in this
of the most remarkable and most
important achievements in recent
months.
Fierce Resistance
The German infantry is making a
most determined resistance to retain
this vital ground and the Teuton ar
tillery is retaliating heavily against
the British big guns.
To-day's offensive will be known
as the Battle of Menin road. Fair
weather had improved the ground
but the mud still was deep and the
whole territory covered with water
filled shell holes, tangled barbed
wires and shattered trees. The Ger
man defenses were composed largely
of concrete redoubts.
Wicked Fire
The Germans poured a wicked
stream of bullets into the ranks of
the advancing troops from concrete
redoubts. Every little elevation and
all the woods were choked with rapid
fire guns.
The British encountered hard
fighting at many places but their
much to make the first stage of their
drive easier.
Field Marshal Haig's selection of
the battle front to the east of Ypres
in Belgium as the scene of his latest
offensive against the Germans, in
dicates that 1t is a continuance of
the expressed purpose of the British
commander-in-ch to force the
armies OF crown Hrlnce Hupprecnt
of Bavaria from the western coast
of Belgium and to cut off the Ger
man submarine and airplane bases
on the North Sea from Zeebrugge to
Nieuport, including Ostend.
The British drive apparently is
being made in the direction of
Roulers and Courtrai from which
Belgian towns, according to recent
dispatches from the Dutch front near
the German military authorities
have been evacuating the civilian
population.
The British offensive had been in
preparation for several days and was
made known in recent statements of
the German general army headquar-
ters staff. The Germans reported that
the British were maintaining a vio-
lent and destructive fire against the
Teuton position, the bombardment
frequently reaching the, intensive of
drum fire.

The most interesting contest out

who had strong following in town,
carried the city by about $40, but
Eckinger, who has a large number

also had two candidates for coroner
and engaged in a spirited contest, G..
