BRITISH TROOPS MAKE GAIN
Fierce Hand-to-Hand Battle Takes
Place During Which Positions Are
Lost BY Enemy.

London.-Fontaine Notre Dame, ca o.
tured at the beginning of the recent
British drive, but subsequently lost,
was the scene of the most bitter hand
to-hand fighting, say late reports.
Unofficial reports from that town,
which is the Cambria areay-say the
British have worked up to the main
street, which runs east and west
through the center of the village.
In Bourbon Wood, west of Cambria,
the British have repulsed another Ger
man counter-attack, Field Marshal
Haig's official report said
British troops, including some from
London, continued to bore their way
forward through the Hindenburg sup
port line west Of Mouevres.
There was vigorous fighting at close
quarters in this region and, as a re-
suit, the British were in possession Of
a further section of support trenches
1000 yards long running east and west
just south of Pronville and Inchy-en-
ArtOis.
The British advance in the last few
days had made this section of the line
virtually untenable and the Germans
were forced to withdraw when pressed
by a new attack.

New York.-Armed guards were mo-

ness is not definitely permissible with

WASHINGTON HOPES
FOR FAVORABLE END
WATcHEUL WAITING MAY SOLVE
SLAV MUDDLE-UNcLE SAM
TO BE PATIENT.
Outside Pressure Would Cause Resent
ment And Tend To Strengthen
New Radical Regime.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Rea of the
great danger of causing a reaction in
Russia favorable to the Central Pow
ers by Intervention in the political af-
fairs of the new democracy has caused
Administration officials here to sound
a note of warning against hasty con-
demnation of the Bolsheviki. Back of
what is described as a tolerant policy
in dealing with Russia apparently not
only is purpose to demonstrate faith
in the ultimate stabilization of the de-
mocracy, but a faint hope that the
EXTREMIST faction which is for the mo-
ment in control of the seat of govern
ment at Petrograd will refrain from
violating Russia's treaty pledge to the
Entente Allies and make a separate
peace.
So long as there is possibility that
these overtures will fail because of the
apparently irreconcilable differences
between the BolsheviH peace scheme
founded on mo annexatinns and no
indemnities" and the German demands
for compensation and adequate safe
guards for the future" it is regarded
as bad policy to exert any pressure
from the outside at this stage. To do
so, it is believed, would only tend to
cause resentment in Russia and to so
lidify the various elements around the
Petrograd regime. An additional rea-
son for maintaining an attitude Of
watchfulness and reserve in Washing
ton is found in the fact that to meet
just such a situation as is developing
in Russia is one of the purposes of the
interallied conference assembled in
Paris. There are intimations that sug-
gestions have reached Washington
from the French capital that it would
be well to avoid adverse criticism here
of the Russian tangle, leaving the
Commissioners gathering in Paris to
deal with it at this stage at least.

Sherbrooke, Quebec.-A riotous
crowd broke up a meeting here at

sons in the audience. Mr.. Doherty is

only by the well-directed use of a fire
hose at the stage door when they at
tempted to storm the stage where the
speakers were.

1t is now possible to tell the peo-
pie of the United States for the

pushing the vital railways up to
the front. The engineers have
been laboring on the roads behind
the British lines for nearly four
months and two of the men who
were wounded were the first
American casualties announced
from Washington. The military
requirements have made it impOs-
sible to mention their presence
here before this time.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington. - The Governments
first move toward curtailing nOn-es-
sential industries during the war was
made when the Fuel Administration
sent to coal producers a preferred list
Of consumers to serve as a guide in
filling orders. The list establishes
preferential shipments for Govern
ment orders, railway fuel. household
requirements, public utilities, steel
plants, coke ovens and munition
plants. Although no direct order was
issued requiring operators to give the
list preference, a direct request was
made and Fuel Administration officials
believe it will be followed The pri-
ority is asked for a period of 80 days.
THE requests are designed" said
Fuel Administrator Garfield, ito insure

To obtain coal for emergency re-

commissions" by which men Of draft
age seek to escape service in the ranks
and get officers places in non-combat-

snag in two general policies laid
down by Secretary Baker. These are,
first, that no men of draft age be COM

that they are better fitted for the spe-
cial work to which they ave called than
any civilian beyond the draft age
whose services can be secured; and,
second, that no function of the army
that can be carried on efficiently with
civilians shall be placed on a military
footing by commissioning men needed
to supervise the work.
