BATTLE RACES
ON YPERS ROAD
British Headquarters Reports
Giving Ground Slightly in
One Section.
Associated Press Sc ice

Associated Press Sedce:
LONDON, Sept. 22=Heavy fight
ing was in progress all day south of
the Ypres- Menin I'd. according to
the official report from British head
quarters in France tonight. Strong
German counter attacks were re-
pulsed, but in one section the British
advance troops were compelled to
retire slightly.
Associated Press Service:
in the midst of Russia internal
troubles has come another German
stroke on the Russian northern
front resulting in the capture Of
the bridgehead and the town o.
Jacobstadt in the DVina and the
enforced retirement of the Russians
in this region TO the eastern bank
of the river.
The fall Of the bridgehead gave
the Germans possession of new ter
ritcry on a front Of approximately
p miles ana six miles in depth,
enabling them TO push their lines
to the west bank OF the Dvina in
this area. They took only 400 pris-
oners from the retreating Rus
slams. but gathered in so guns from
the abandoned positions.
Dramatic a. this suddenly de-
veloped operation was, it seems uu-
likely TO del elop anything COM
pairing in Importance in its effect
upon the general military situation
with the desperate battle still in
progress ON the FLANDERS front.
Germans Battle Desperately.
I.oathe TO give up the valuable
ridges, the British wrested from
them on Thursday, the Germans
continue 10 launch desperate coun-
ter attacks from their battered
Flanders line and to combat with
determination every effort of Field
Marshal Hays forces to improve
their positions This lighting has
been very costly 10 the Germans
IN casualties and the London off
cial statement LAYS stress on the
exceedingly severe character Of
their losses.
The German command seems
particularly reluctant - surrender

velt, close 10 the Ypres-Menin road.

ton to pay, why not the right to de-
termine salaries? The State is not
liable for the increased cost of this
service. why should 1t decree the in
crease? 1t is local matter"
The Governor also vetoed the bill
to increase salaries of county officials
in Luzerne and Lackawanna coun-
ties, and says that it is not manifest
why these officials should be singled
out for the increase. The Governor
says that the bill as drawn is not
equitable and that people have pro-
tested against the measure. There
is no evidence that better service
would ensue," adds the Governor.
In his veto of the township light
tax bill the Governor says to change
the plan now existing would be an
infringement upon rights and that in
his opinion the present law is all
right. A change would work an in
justice. He closes with this remark:
ANY law that discourages where it
should encourage to laudable estab-
lishment of owned homes is not a
good law"

Was ALL WORN OUT
Could Get No Relief, Until
Sanpan Fixed Him Up

Mr.. Edward w. Ewell, 1877 Balm
street, Harrisburg, says. 81 was all
worn out, weak and nervous, was
subject to dizzy spells, could not
sleep nights. The least exertion
caused me to feel all tagged out
At times a numb sort of feeling
would creep over me, after which
/ would feel chilly.
Il worried a lot and spoke of my
condition to some friends of mine,
but they would not sympathize with
me. In fact, some laughed outright
at me, because 1 surely looked all
right, in spite of the fact that
felt as miserable as could be.
Il took various kinds of treat
Inent and plenty of medicine, but
could get no relief.
Finally 1 saw Sanpan advertised
and made up my mind to give it a
trial.
In very short time I began to
feel better, my nerves settled, can
sleep good, do not have those chills
or numb feeling.
We'll. I just wish that everyone
felt as good as l do and know 1

Government Assures Control
of Commodity in All Com

Chicago, June 20. - Government
plans for food control, according to
a statement given out here to-day
by President Griffin, of the Board
of Trade, includes absolute control
of the wheat trade in all it's COM
mercial aspects. There can be no
speculation in it, Buying and SELL
ing of other grains for present or
future delivery will be unrestricted.
Mr.. Griffin's statement follows:
"On Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week representatives of the
Grain Exchange of the United
States were in conference at Wash
ington with Herbert c. Hoover, food
administrator; Julius II. Barnes, his
chief assistant, and others connect
ed with the food administration
The exchanges, through their
representatives, have given their
whole-hearted support to the Ad-
ministration's plan for food control.
Mr.. Hoover and his associates have
unfolded to us their plans in great
retail. Naturally, they are withhold
ing the announcement of their plans
food-control bill be enacted Into
law.
Consequently, the detailed plans
were submitted to us in confidence,
and l am, therefore, not privileged
at this time to make any complete
statement. Nevertheless, there are
in circulation many unfounded and
unauthorized rumors affecting this
situation. Therefore, l have decided
to announce the plan decided upon
in general, but refrain from discus
! sing the matter in detail, as that an
nouncement necessarily must come
from Mr.. Hoover
The plan decided on will permit
unrestricted competition and selling
of all commodities, for present and
future deliveries, with the exception
of wheat The United States gov
ernment, through its food admins
traitor, and their wheat will be pur-
tribution of wheat for domestic ex-
port purposes. Not only will they
purchase the wheat for this govern
ment, but for the allies and neutrals
as we'll
THE millers, likewise, will come
under control of the food adminis-
traitor, and there wheat will be pur-
chased and flour distributed under
the same control. All must be ap-
parent, the operation of the plan
Will preclude possibility of trading in
when for future delivery. However
commission merchants, receivers
and others acting as agents in the
purchase and sale of sample grain
will be permitted to handle (sample)
wheat on the same basis as al other
commodities"
