Of affairs where the parents or other

This ruling was responsive TO a class
of cases that had been brought to the
attention OF this office where claims
Of discharge had been made on the
ground oI uepenuehey on a husband,
who. as matter of fact, was not de-
pendent upon himself. The ruling di-
rected the attention of local boards

where the decisions come to be so far
un-uniform as to result in an unequal

British Front in France and Bel
sium Aug. 25.--The Canadian troops
again pushed forward their line
last night, advancing to considerable
depth on a narrow front at the west
ern edge of Lens, after severe fighting.
The attack was preceded by heavy ar
tillery fire and large numbers of Ger
man dead were found in the trenches
occupied, The British casualties
were exceptionally small There ap-
peared to be little change in the sit
uation east and northeast of Ypres.
Hard Fighting in Progress.
inverness copse, at the latest re-
ports, continued to be the scene of
sanguinary fighting. AS a result of
heavy and repeated counter alta cks,
the British were compelled yesterday
to withdraw temporarily from the CEN
ter of this wood which they reached
on "Wednesday. Later they re-estab-
bshed themselves at most points,
and the Germans have been hurting

ir an endeavor to GUST them again.
In the coastal sector the British re-
captured posts which the Germans
took on Wednesday. 1t is such minor
operations as this that the Germans
recently have been characterizing in
their official statement as great Brit
ish offensives on the coast
Successful Minor Operation.
Another carefully planned minor
operation by the Alberta battalion,

Of st. Theodore in the region known
as the Cricket Pitch, on account OF
its flatness, gave the Canadians pos
session OF $50 yards of German front
line with light casualties today.
The attack was made at 2 o'clock
this morning and the enemy resistance
was weak compared with former de-
trench captured and a communica-
ton trench nearby were, found to
contain a large number of dead Ger
mans, many OF them killed in bomb
fighting two days ago, when the Ca
nadians failed to drive them out.
Breaks German Wedge.
At that time the enemy parties ap-
peared in such unsupported quarters
that it was believed the dugouts in
the trenches were connected by un-
derground passages with the main
German positions in the heart of
Lens. To make sure that the enemy
could not use these dugouts as a
means of pushing reinforcements in
behind advanced posts, they were all
blown in before the work Of incor-
poratng the newly occupied trenches
into the line was begun. The gain

Italy Rejoices Over Great Victory
Achieved Over Austrians; Battle
Declared Most Important Of War

Italians, exclaimed:
''At last our soldiers have achieved
this magnificent thing; they have
freed our soil from the ancien,
enemy"
Editorial Note--It Is evident from
the very meager dispatches that the
Italians have gained victory of the
utmost Importance, probably insuring
the early capture of Trieste Austria's
chief seaport and the determination OF
capture of Austria's entire fleet in the
Adriatic.
The very brief reports probably are
due to trouble with the wire service
between Denver and New York city
last night.

Houston, Tex, Aug. 25.---Though
Houston generally breathed distinct
relief tonight that martial law will end
tomorrow and that the rioting negroes
OF the Twenty-fourth infantry are no
longer in a position to cause further
trouble, county officials expressed re-
sentiment that forty of them indicted
here for murder, should have been
taken from their authority.
The fact that they were removed to
Columbus, NJ NJ, does not mean that
we will not ultimately take a hand in
their punishment said District At
torney John II. Crooker. "Tn my
opinion the court-martial which will
be held by the military authorities,
does not abrogate the right to trial
by the civil authorities Those who
escape punishment in the military
court will be prosecuted in the courts
Of Harris county"
Grand jury Acts Promptly.
Evidence of the intention of the To-
cal officials not to let the matter drop
with the departure of the colored in
fantrymen for Columbus was con-
tanned this afternoon In the action of
the Harris county grand jury. This
body, as soon as it learned that thirty
turned over to the army before break
fast, began consideration of the
blanket charges preferred by Mr..
Crooker. In few hours it returned
murder indictments against the thirty
four and six others who had not been
arrested.
Thousands today paid special tribute
to Capt. j. w. Mates when his coffin,
placed on truck and wrapped with
the eolors, was taken to the station
to be sent to Chicago. Captain Mates
was shot down as he approached the
scene of the disturbance in a police
officers automobile.
No More Deaths Likely.
Indications are that there will be
no more deaths as result of the
shooting and that the total casualties
counted seventeen dead and twenty
one wounded. Two victims lost arms
by amputation. and a third must have
leg taken off. These are expected
to recover.
Col. George o. Cress, inspector gen.
e1al of the southern department, ar
rived today and began to collect data
on the shooting. He visited Brig.
Gen. John A. Hulen of the Texas ma
tional guard, District Attorney Crook
err, the chief of police, sheriff and
other authorities. Mr.. Crooker turned
over to him the statements of cap
tured negro soldiers that Sergeant
Vida Henry, who was killed, was the
ringleader and organizer Of the raid
ing expedition.
Troops No Longer Needed.
A tour of the city and conferences
with General Hulen and others quickly
convinced General Bell that the addi-
tional troops rushed here from Fort
Sam Houston at San Antonio and Fort
Crockett at Galveston were no longer
needed. They were sent back to their
stations this afternoon.
