French and British Make Joint

THE WAR SUMMARY.

Without regard to the highly unfav-
orable weather conditions prevailing
and in a surprisingly short time after
the successful British thrust Of last
week, the British and French forces in
Belgium have launched another heavy
attack on the German lines. The blow
fell early today in the region east and
northeast of Ypres, where Crown
Prince Rupprecht's lines had already
been dangerously bent back by tho
previous British thrusts
The British commander early re-
ported satisfactory progress on all
parts of the front of the attack which,
he announced, was made in conjunc-
ton with our allies on our left"
Shortly afterward the Paris official
statement Indicated clearly that the
French forces in Flanders were those
alluded to by the British commander
in-chief. The launching of an attack
in concert with the British was an
nounced and the favorable develop
| ment of the attack reported.
Work of the French.
a considerable force of French
troops took part in the beginning Of
the Flanders drive on July 81 and in
| the subsequent fighting that consoli-
dated the ground won by them from n
poirt northeast OF Langemarck as far
north of Dixmude.
This section of the front remained
comparatively quiet while the British
to the south were renewing their drive
last month. Apparently the time Is
now considered opportune for bring
ing the line to the north more nearly
on the level with the advanced British
front. The French attack today yex-
tended as far to the north as Holt-
hoist forest. about five miles toward
the coast from Bixchoote.

THAT BIC "RAKE OFF"

RIOT since the days of Credit Mobiler
has so big a money scandal
smirched the skirts Of any administra-
ton as has the Lawson Leak" those
of Mr.. Wilson's. From cabinet officers
down 70 mere Congressman. the Wall
Street taint seems to have attached!
Against their will the Democrats ap-
pointed committee to look into the
matter, and after roundly badgerlng
Lawson, the chairman, Congressman
Henry, administered all around fine
coat of whitewash, and was about to
dismiss the matter as piece of slander
and nothing more, when aspirited Dem
ocratic member from Kentucky who
saw the folly of trying to hush up the
scandal, joined with the protesting Re-
publican member to make the inquiry
stll 1OUcSI one.
1t is now conceded that several days
before the presidents ''peace note"
was given out, certain persons on Change
knew all about it And that certain
worthy Democrats" profted enor-
mously, no one doubts. Later evidence
traces the leak to the president S
brother-in-law!
The spirit in which the Democratic
Committee is handling the matter is
shown by the fact that chairman Henry,
tho himself openly charged with being
one Of the culprits, still continues to act
as such chairman-indeed, until com

voters-and all good citizens devoutly
pray the Legislature may have wisdom
enough to pass that bill tbs altogether
wise to make this partial reform of re-
moving from the liquor license law that
pernicious feature which permits the
sale Of liquor in bottles as we'll as over
the bar. A half loaf is better than no
bread, and if the resubmission bill fail
of passage, or after passage, fail at the
polls, the cause of temperance will still
be great gamer by the repeal of the
"bottle law"
The sale Of liquor in bottles is, if pos
sible, greater curse than tippling at
the bar itself. 1t intensifes the fearful
evil of drink, viciously expands its
powers of running men, and, moreover,
gives the baleful business Of rum selling
a strange hold on its victims which
makes escape for them almost impos-
sible.
Delaware's first license law was
passed in 100, and in 1893 this bad
"bottle law" provision was added. 1t
was not until after more than 200 years
that the temperance people succeeded
in amending the license law with pro-
vision making it illegal to sell drink to
habitual drunkard after written notice
| from a member of his family not to do
So
But even this slight concession from
the states mercless liquor laws is null
lifted by this "bottle law" which makes
it possible for any loafer to defeat the
most sacred wishes and efforts Of a
wife, mother or father, to rescue
some loved one from out the cruel bond
age of the drink habit, some husband
or son whose manhood is 50 utterly
sapped that he cannot of himself ab-
stain and so his family intervenes by
serving notice on the saloon-keeper not
to sell liquor to him. 1t is the devils
choicest weapon to forge an unbreakable
chain that at last drags the drunkard
down to the pit No one with humane
heart in his bosom will for one instant
defend this needlessly debauching fea-
ture of the license law, and it should at
once, be stricken off the statute book.
