BRITISH WIN
GROUND WHEN
FOE ATTACKS
(By Associated Press)

Heavy cannonading was again in
progress last night on the Flanders
battle front, northeast OF Ypres, but
the infantry had a release from the
recent hard fighting.
The last German reaction was not
encouraging enough apparently to
warrant a speedy repetition, as Field
Marshal Haig in his dispatches re-
ported that when the Germans assault
ed the British lines northeast of Ian
gemarck yesterday they not only were
repulsed but lost ground in a British
counter drive.
Signs of possible important activity
impending are appearing in other sec
tions Of the British front, notably In
the Arras region near the Scarpe, and
in the vicinity of Lens, which city is
still being closely pressed by the
Canadians.
Considerable artillery activity is an
nounced from these sectors.
Guns On Both Sides Busy
The artillery on both sides is also
notably busy on the French front in
the Verdun region Last night it's
activity reached the stage Of intense
violence north of the fortress in the
Sosses and Chaumes wood region,
Paris reports.
Although suffering heavy reverse
in the recent German operations In
the Jacobstadt region, the Russians
on the Riga Dviusk front are showing
recnperative power and today a sub
stantial Russian victory is reported
in the sector south Of the Riga Pskoff
road.
Taking the offensive here, the Rus
sian forces captured the German po-
sitions they attacked, retaining them
after hard struggle. The German
losses were more than 400 in killed
and the Russians took a number of
prisoners and 10 machine guns.
The object of the Russian COM
mand in initiating this attack and
others not dissimilar operations re-
Gently recorded from this front may
very likely be the rectif1cation of the
line east Of Dvina at points where it
is now weak ...., ..-.

an investigation at the Presidents di-
rection.
Under powers conferred in the pri.
ority Of transportation act, the war in.
dustries board will supervise distribu.
ton of steel in manner best calcu.
lated to win the war.

mediately and are subject to revision

.EARLHAM OPEN;
ATTENDANCE GOOD

Earlham college was opened Mon
day and old and new students were
enrolling. Glasses will not be start
ed until Wednesday morning, how
ever.
Indications are that the attendance
this year will be about the same as
that of last year. There were $50 pu-
pills enrolled last year. While many
of the men, who have been attending
the classes, have been conscripted or
have enlisted, it is believed there will
be more girls enrolled this year.
There were 216 girls enrolled last
year.
DR.. David NJ. Edwards, new presi-
dent, said he believed the increase in
girls at the schools is due to the per
sonal canvass and the various cam
paigns for higher education which
have been conducted by many organi-
cations during the summer.
Prof Carl Waltger, of Indianapolis,
comes to Earlham this year to teach
violin playing. He will hold classes
on Friday and Saturday of each week.

ITALIAN PRESS
HITS REPLIES

ROME, Sept 24.-The entire liberal
press continues to attack the reply Of
Germany and Austria to the pope's
peace proposal as IAN unique example
Of revolving cynicism."
The Corriere d'Italia has modified
the tone of its comment from criticism
to that of mild approval It says that
the replies although "retcent to rep
resent adhesion to the papal proposals,
can be considered as evidence Of the
success OF the pontifical initiative"

Fish Farming.

That hsh can be raised as a prOnt-
able farm crop Is the belief OF the
state College of Agriculture at Cor
nell. The college authorities are plan
ming to add to their present fish hatch
cry . series of pondS In which the hsh
may be kept and reared to maturity
under known conditions. Up to the
present time there has been scarcely
any scientific fish raising. and most OF
the hatcheries are raising FRY" and
turning them loose in the streams to
shift for themselves. The only places
where trout are raised to any extent
are on commercial farms, and even
there the process has not been stand
artiized nor has the problem received
the study necessary to place fish rails
ing on a practical basis. The ques-
ton of the best fish foods and how to
provide them. the selection of breeding
stock and the best methods Of fish pond
management have been neglected, and
1t Is these questions that the college
hopes to solve.
