No plans have been made for grain
purchases by neutral countries, al
though, it is likely all will be required
to buy through the food administra-

close check on purchases and will aid
the exports council, to which applica-

some will be permitted to go as soon

Spokane. Wash, Aug. 15.-Unless

tara, according to a statement TODAY
by James Rowan, district secretary of

they could sweep the country surrounding
Ypres.
Hill 10 was bornbarded with guns Of all
calibre. which worked havoc among the
German defenses on the crest of this emf
nence. The Germans undoubtedly prepar-
ed for the attack as fully as possible, for
there is no question that they were aware
1t was impending. The nervous Smelling
of the communicating roads back of the
British positions here for many days gave
full evidence that they knew sooner or
later they must defend their claims. So
it was a case Of the better side winning
Great British Machine
1t was just 20 minutes past four when
the British guns dropped a protecting
barrage before the Canadian trenches
and the troops leaped over the parapet
for the charge. Details of the fighting
are not yet available, but the troops
swept forward with the invncible pre-
cision which has characterized the latest
work of the great British fighting ma
chine.
The British and Germans We're in
close grips in the western part OF the
city of Lens itself following the bril-
liant morning advance whereby the
Canadians captured hill 70 and then
swept north of Lens. Considerable
numbers of German prisoners are be
ginning to arrive in the collection de-
pots.
Like Pair Of Shears
The new British line has been es-
tablished on a triangular line like a
pair of shears whose points are to the
north and south Of Loos. In the first
stages of the fighting the Canadians
met with comparatively small opposi-
ton, but as they pushed in to the
Lens environs the defense Of the Ger
mans stiffened.
Whatever the outcome, the battle al
ready has taken place in the list of the
most important conflicts of the war

Lens, which dominates the city and

morning by the Canadian forces.
The British also pushed their lines

side Of Hill 20.
Attack on 1000. Yard Front
The British attack was made on a
4oo0-yard front which had an extreme
depth Of 1900 yards.
Beginning at point just above Hugo
wood, the new British positions now
run southeast and beyond Hill 20 to-
wards Lens. The line bends southwest
and encircles the suburbs of St. Lau-
rent and St. Emile.
The British guns had been pounding
for days at Hill 70, which the Germans
considered impregnable. The infantry
attack began at 425 A NJ.
Big Military Operation
The capture of Hill 70 ranks in i'm
portance with the biggest military op-
erations Of this year. 1t was the las,
dominating POSITION in this section
which remained in the hands of the
Germans and from it a wide territory
can be controlled.
Hill 70 Is to Lens and the Loos salient

ways it is even a more enviable position
than the Messines ridge. because ever
