 Must Face Trial

AUSTIN, Texas, August 23-The Texas house of representatives tonight by vote of S2 to 51 adopted a reso- lution to present to the senate articles of impeachment against governor James E. Ferguson. committee of nine was appointed immediately to draw up articles of impeachment and report the articles to the house as the first business tomorrow morning. The action was taken as the result of the investigation of charges filed by Speak CT F. O. Fuller, against the governor alleging illegal acts in office
 The investigation which ended today had been going on almost three weeks. The speaker issued call for a session of the house to consider impeachment late in July Governor Ferguson lat CT called the entire legislature .n spec ial session to consider passage Of the state university appropriation bills which he had vetoed. The senate took op these bills on August l. the day of converting. the latter passed them, but the house proceeded to the impeach- ment investigation.

 When the board of regents did not oust thtse men. he appointed other regents. Through an injunction some of the new regents were unable to act and Governor Ferguson. charging that there was corruption and inefficiency n the school, vetoed the appropriations for its support for the next two years. lie asserted also that the university was fighting him.
 Governor Ferguson was investigated by house committee last March. and though his conduct was criticized. it was held there was no basis for i'm peachment.

BRITISH HOLD POSITIONS IN NORTH; HEAVY FIGHTING LIN.
Inverness Copse, on Ypres- Menin Road, Is Scene of Sanguinary Confiict-Ger- mans Counter Attack With No Success.
(By Review Leased Wire,.

- RITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND X BELGIUM, Aug. 23. - Despite ID heavy enemy counter attacks dur
 ing the night the British today were holding strongly the positions they captured yesterday along front varying in depth from a few hundred yards to half a mile.
 Even the Inverness Copse, astride the Ypres-Menin road, where the Ger mans were so strongly fortified that one would scarcely have dared to pre- dict success for an attack was partly in British possession after hand to hand fighting which continued through out yesterday and into the night.
 In the other important battle there were on the front the Canadians last night and this morning made still fur ther advances on their southwest front. Early today they attacked the German positions at the Green Grassier, north of the Souchez river.
 Last night the Canadians also push ed forward two strong forces adjoining the Green. Grassier to the northwest. The situation at Lens, however, has been more or less quiet as a whole since yesterday morning.
 Fighting still continues north and east of Ypres. The British secured the strong position in Inverness Copse and their line runs approximately through a point in the center of this
 
 north of it the Germans are in pos session of a large machine gun posi- tion which dominate the northern po- sition of the wood and these guns add to the difficulties of the situation for the British.
 Machine Guns Deadly
 The British made their advances into the Inverness Copse in the face of extremely heavy machine gun fire from points to the north and south. The ground is marshy and hard to tra- verse but the British forced their way forward to the wood, where they threw themselves into the Germans with bay onets and Bombs and drove the enemy back. Heavy counter attacks failed to dislodge the British from the line where they had finally rested, half way through the wood.
 Menin Road Battle
 Similar sanguinary fighting also oc- cured a little north of Glencorse Wood, where there was nest of ma chine guns. In the Ypres-Menin road sector the British penetrated the Ger man defenses ro a depth of about 300 yards over a front of about mile.
 In a bigger battle further north the British reduced many exceedingly strong German concrete redoubts and strongholds which had figured in much of the fighting heretofore.
 One of these, which was the scene of a strenuous battle before the Brit ish finally subdued its garrison, was counter attacked determinedly by the eneHay later in the day but the at tack was driven off with considerable losses to the Germans.
 Along this front the British pene trated to an extreme depth of over hafi a mile, thereby securing much of the ground which they had failed to gair in the bitter offensive of last Thurs day.
 A considerable number of prisoner: have been sent back but no official re port is yet available.
