Red Cross Held Friday

b 4 .ss s-s ='vFa .
A very successful and well attend
ed meeting of the Red Cross was held
in the city hall Friday night. Judge
N. G. Young was unable to be there
and the address was given by his Sec
rotary, Mr.. WILDER, who spoke on Red
Cross organization, taking up the gen.
eral, state and local phases of the
work. Mr.. Wilber's principle work is
organizing the state by counties.
After the meeting the members went

ing was held, however, and it Is be-
Ieved that work will be taken up here
with greater increased enthusiasm.

Allies Plans Are Successful
When Flanders March Starts

British Front in France and Bel
GUM, Aug. 16.-At 4 o'clock this aft
ernoon the battle in Flanders which
was resumed by the French and Brit.
ish at dawn today had resulted in a
large gain Of ground.
From Dreigrachten, which the
French occupied with little resistance,
southwark the French pushed their
position forward to the edge of the
flood area along the left bank of the
St. Jansbeek river, and on the right
bank they surged across the Steen-
beke, which is a continuation of the
st. Jansbeek and occupied German pc.
sitions to an extreme depth of about
1000 yards.
Allies Hold Langemarck
At the same time the British ad-
vanced on the right of the French and
occupied considerable territory in the
region of St. Julien and Langemarck
Langemarck village itself apparently
is firmly in the hands of the allies.
Further south the British had
pushed forward at various points as
far down the salient as the country
west of the Polygon wood. In all this
region heavy fighting was in progress,
especially in the vicinity of the Poly
gon wood and the neighboring forests.
Signal for Advance Given
At this time it is impossible to give
more than a general idea of the events
that are transpiring, since the signal
was given few hours ago for an ad-
vance. There is little doubht, however,
that the German troops engaged have
been dealt heavy blow and that the
British have made appreciate ad-
vances in many parts of this difficult
territory.
The preliminary bombardment by
the British artillery worked havoc in
the German ranks, according to prison
erS.
Prussians Suffer Heavily
About -Langemarck, where heavy
serve division of the Prussians suffer
ed severely from the bombardment
y The barrage which the British ar
tillery dropped before the infantry for
the advance was perfect throughout
The German guns pounded away sui
lenly, but their fire was not effective
and the British troops suffered little
as they pushed forward.
In the Langemarcl1 region the main
difficulty encountered was the mud in
the approaches to the town and into
this bog the infantry plunged deep at
every step.
Drive Germans From Forest
The Germans had concentrated large
bodies of troops in the Houthulst for
est in anticipation of this attack, but
the French heavy guns bombarded the
wood so effectively that it was impos-
sible to bring UP reserves.
The German losses in the prelimin-
airy bombardment were severe and the
French. already had accounted for 300
prisoners whe nthe correspondent of
the Associated Press visited their
front at noon. The booty obtained by
the French will be considerable, in
Guiding number of heavy guns which
stuck in the mud and were abandoned
by the Germans. Many of the guns al
so felt into the hands of the French.

Again the Anglo-French war ma.
chine has struck the Germans in
Flanders and again it has been sue
cessful. The village of Langemarck
and other important positions were
taken Thursday and more than 1900
prisoners already have been counted.
The latest blow in the Ypres area
was on a front of nine miles and only
on the extreme right were the allied
forces unable to make progress. The
Germans resisted stubbornly, suffering
heavy losses, but on the greater part
Of the front they were forced to leave
valuable positions in the possession of
the allies.
Attacks Follow in Quick Succession
Before the fighting between Lens
and LO0s had died out, the French and
British moved forward north of the
Ypres-Menin road. Throughout Thurs.
day bitter fighting continued. On the
left the French occupied the ground
between the User canal and Martje-
vaart and they drove the Germans
from the important bridgehead of
Dreigrachten.
Field Marshal Haig's men carried
the center and right of the attacking
line. In the center the British early
gained their first detectives and then
established themselves in LANCE
marck. Continuing their attack they
advanced half mile beyond the viii
lage, gaining a trench system which
was the final objective of the day.
