 Dramatic as this suddenly developed operation was, it seems unlikely to de- velop anything comparing in importance in it's effect upon the general military situation with the desperate battle stiil in progress on the Flanders front.
 Loath to give up the valuable ridges the British wrested from them on Thurs day, the Germans continue to launch des- perate counter attacks from their pat tered Flanders lines and to combat with determination every effort of Field Mar shal Haig's forces to improve their po- sitions. This fighting has been very cost ly to the Germans in casualties, and the official statement lays stress on the ex- ceedingly severe character of their losses.
 FLANDERS LINE
 The German commander seems partic- ularly reluctant to surrender the slight elevation west of Gheluvelt close to the Ypres-Menin road. Fierce fighting devel- oped there Saturday, the engagement cen tering about the position known as Tow CT Hamlets Press dispatches indicate that up to midafternoon there had been no cessation of the struggle, the tide of battle flowing back and forth within narrow area.
 Berlin's official statement makes no claims of any ground recovered from the British It records the fighting of Friday, the day following the initial British dash, as marked by continuation of British at tacks along the Langemarck-Holleheke front which were repulsed, and describes Saturdays engagements as fighting of local character, which resulted in Ger man successes

WARD MAKES HIS SATURDAY NIGHT SPEECH AT WYLAM Quotes Ned Brace Article in an Effort to Further
 Inject Religious
 Issue

George B. Ward spoke to good crowd at Vivian last night in the ln- terest of his candidacy.
 His speech varied little from that made at Woodlawn Friday with the exception that he read an extract rom a Ned Brace article in The Age-Her- aid of May 21 in which Ned Brace con- demned attacks that had been made upon an employe of The Age-Herald solely because that employe was a Catholic.
 Mr Ward thus attempted to snow inconsistency in The Age-Herald be- cause of his assertion that both Ihe Age Herald and the T. As are sup porting pr. Barretts candidacy
 MT Ward stated that the only is- sues in the campaign now were him. self. pr. Barrett and the T. A. society. He spoke of his platform and Of the things he had accomplished While al the city hall in the service of the city, saying in part:
 '"The future holds in store many se- rious problems. Conservatism, fore- sight. business ability and experience in financial operations are of prime importance. The temper of the peo- ple as demonstrated in the last elec- ton on the constitutional amendment relating to the taxing powers of Bir- mingham, holds out little hope for any permanent relief.
 Notwithstanding the insufficient revenues, the just demands of the peo- pie for municipal progress, better san itary sewers, storm sewers, pavements, parks and playgrounds, better health system more efficient garbage col- lection and disposal, improved trans portation and schools, are out of all proportion to the financial ability or the city. These demands can never De met; no administration can ever be successful. nor can the people ever be satisfied until the financial struc- ture of the city is completely rebuilt along modern lines and the city pro yided with normal revenues.
 Other speakers were Isadore Sha- piro and Buck Davis. the latter be1nS full of ginger, and bringing forth much applause with his remarks. MT. Davis stated that he was positive that pr. Barrett had recently had some re- pairing done on his home at East Lake and that the work was done by "scab" labor.
 Dr. w. s. Rountree was chairman Of the meeting, but the speakers were in troduced by W. A. Spencer.

Regarding the air fighting of Thurs
 son is given by Berlin of German and
 entente losses in machines. Thirty-nine
 hostile machines were shot down on those
 days by the Germans, it is declared, while
 only three German machines were lost
 This varies notably from the British of
 ficial account, which mentions 10 Ger man airplanes destroyed and six driven down out of control. The probable loss of 10 British machines, classed as missing. is admitted by London.
 Meanwhile as complement to the land fighting in Belgium, British war ships of the Belgian coast patrol have
 been bombarding the town of Ostend,
 where German navy works were shelled with results pronounced satisfactory. British aviators continued their exten- sive bombing operations behind the Ger man lines, Ostend being one of the points successfully attacked by the aviators as well as the fleet.
 The complete text of the German and Austrian replies to the papal peace note shows that neither lays down any def mite terms as a basis for peace. There was no officially expressed comment In Washington, but it was unofficially in- dicated that such examination as has been made of the documents revealed no reason for alteration by the United States it's aims or its intentions
 An official expression from the British foreign office pointed to the lack of any intention of "reparation" or restoration in the German reply.

The word "junker' has frequently been used in connection with the Prus- sian government. and there is inquiry as to it's meaning. A "junker" (Jung- nerr) is the scion of noble house which has devoted itself to military service; a mef9ber of the aristocratic party in Pruss sia which came into power under Bismarck when he was made prime minister.
