London, Aug. Herman counter
attacks against the new British posi-
lions at La Bassee Vile and north of
the Ypres- Confines canal, in Belgium,
were repulsed successfully, says the
official statement issued by the British
war Office.
Another German counter-attack far
Their north in the neighborhood of the
Ypres- Roulers railway was crushed
by the British artillery. Heavy rain
has been falling the statement adds,
and the weather continues unfavorable
for operations.
New Line Is Improved.
"South of the Ypres-C Confines canal"
British minor operations during the
night resulted in an improvement of
our new line.
Hostile counter-attacks against our
new positions at In Bassee Vile and
immediately north of the Ypres-Comi
mes canal were repnlsed successfully.

German ceanter-attack was crushed
during the night by our artillery.
1.-THE weather continues unfavorable
for operations. Heavy rain has been
falling.
I'VE made a successful raid east of
Bots Grenier."
Take Thirty Square Miles.
Thirty square miles were taken in
the smash.
The count of prisoners has not vet
been reported, but it will reach at least
5000. German losses in killed and
wounded will be staggering. Every
front dispatch dwelt on the terrible
effect of the deadly British artillery
fire. Line after line of German
trenches were literally leveled into
crumbling earth, the concrete en-,
placements reduced to dusty frag-
ments.
On the line where the French drove
ahead, the "bloody User" again lived
up to Its name. Time after time
French engineers bridged the stream,
only to have their pontoon structures
wrecked by the enemy's desperate de-
fensive fire. But they got the troops
across, and beyond, in the mud and
muck of the lowlands, the poilus
struck hard and furiously.
Not Counting the Cost.
London Is not counting the cost.
1t expects great human sacrifice. 1t
hopes, however, that the stroke may be
so aimed that Germany must relinquish
her submarine bases on the coast.
England and France are driving at
what military experts have judged to
be the most vulnerable spot In the
German line. Any great penetration
here will menace the enemy grip on
the North Sea bases where Its sub
marine warfare centers no less than
the German hold on the great indus
trial centers Of Belgium around Lille,
Journal, Roulers and Courtrai.
The offensive Is no overnight plan of
strategy. Preparations have been go
ing forward for the stroke for more
than a month. Germany had warning
of something that was impending In an
artillery preparation that began 20
days ago and reached continuous
crescendo of fury a week back.

Persistent Advertising Pays

If there is one enterprise or
earth that a gutter should leave
entirely alone, it is advertising. To
make a success Of advertising one
must be prepared to stick like bar
nac!e on a boats bottom. He should
know before he begins it that he
must spend money-lots OF it.
Somebody must tell him that he
cannot hope to reap results COM
mensurate with his expenditure
early in the game. Advertising
DOESN'T j.rk; it pulls. 1t begins
very gently at first, but the pull IS
steady. 1t increases day by day
and year by year until it exerts an
irresistible pcwer.-John Wana-
maker.

If you could go with your ney =
paper ad into the hundreds Of
homes each day and see it do its
work you would no longer doubt the
value of such publicity
The timid advertiser thinks only
of the space he buys, while in
fact, this is not what he pays for at
all. Buying newspaper space means
buying an audience. Space is only
the medium through which he con-
veys an impression of his goods and
his store to possible customers
nothing more thoroughly Identifies
a store with the substantial inter-
ests of a town than persistent news
paper advertising. 1t is sign that
the store invites inspection.-tf.

AMERICAN RED CROSS

The following cablegram, receiv-
ed from the Paris Headquarters of
the American Red Cross, today,
makes plain why, through one of
it's many activities, Americans are
gaining the gratitude of the French
people
+, Every day French n,utiles-
wounded soldiers who have either
lost arms or legs-gather at Ameri-
/ can Red Cross Headquarters seeking
assistance in securing either artifi-
cial arms or artificial legs. The
ones given by the Red Cross are the
best and most practical that can be
obtained.
These crippled men typify the
true spirit Of France sacrifice
They never complain about their
misfortune, but are profuse in their
/ thanks for assistance. A French SOL
der who hobbled in on two legs the
other day received artificial legs
which enabled him to stand upright
| without the aid CT a cane. After he
had arrived home his mother wrote
the Red CrossJ:
Thank you with ali my heart
for what you have done for my poor
mutilated soldier. Your generous
and charitable help has brought
back to active life an unfortunate
who, without help, would have re-
manned in the darkest of misery.
From my soul Of mother and
French woman l beg you TO tell the
American Mothers whose sons will
soon be fighting along side of our
sons, that if it is their fate to be
sent some day to our hospitals, we
shall receive them with devoted and
tender care

THE TRAITOR PACIFlST
BY Edwin Arden
OF The Vigilantes

IhDaddress to members of the
Chambers of Commerce and Manu-
facturers Association of Dallas,
Texas, Major Stanley Washburn of
the U. S. Army said that: "The men
who go about the land in the guise
Of paeifists, urging the war be end
ed, are your personal enemies as
much as if they had knives in their
hands and were stabbing your sons
Over There in the back"
If Maj. Washbunr is right and
any thinking person knows that he
is, why are these brazenly outspok-
en- pacifists allowed to be at large,
sowing the seeds of sedition and
stabbing our boys in the French
trenches with an american" knife
made in Germany. The answer
is that few of US think straight con-
corning the CHASTITY possibilities Of
this war affecting US individually.
And even the thinkers are not yet
awake to the deadly effects of this
Prussic Acid which is eating into the
united loyalty Of the American peo-
pie.
Every word Of peace advocacy at
this time is born Of German prop
uganda, whose sole purpose is to
create in the people of this country
an inert and listless attitude toward
a vigorous and mighty prosecution
ton Of this war,-until our help
comes too late. The poison worked
in Russia, and its effects will be
felt directly in this country. Ev-
cry Russian soldier who lays down
his gun and accepts a German peace
releases ten veteran Teuton but
cheers to overwhelm our boys on the
Western front. And from the
Western front. And front-where?
Possibly England. Field Marshall
French admits the possibility, and
II to England, then certainly to
What is the antidote for this
poison? Action! Swift, sure and
crushing. The pacifists must go;
they must be effectually muzzled
or exterminated, preferably the lat
ter. As Major Washburn publically
puts it: ''They should be tried by
courtmartial and shot with their
backs aaginst WALL"
