.CANADA'S TROOPS
DRIVE GERMANS
FROM TRENCHES
In Spite of Gas Shells, Gallant Troops
Take a Number of German
Prisoners in Fight

British Headquarters in France,
July 23.-(By the Associated Press.)
The Canadians carried out daring
and highly successful raid early this
morning on German trenches south
east of Avion. After heavy artillery
preparation the raiding party forced
its way to the second line of German
defenses along a front of 700 yards
where it made determined assaults on
strongly fortified German dugouts
along the Avion- Herincourt railway.
According to latest reports most of
these positions were rendered untena-
BILE. Final details are not yet availa-
bic but at least sixty prisoners includ-
ing an officer were brought back by
the Canadians, whose casualties were
light.
Germans Use Gas Shells.
y This section of the German line is
one of the most difficult and dangerous
to fight over, for behind the first line
trenches are numerous brick yards
through whichsit is necessary for as
saulting troops to force their way.
When the British reached the first line
trenches the Germans turned heavy
artillery fire upon them, employing
large gas shells.
notwithstanding the fierce fire
which they had to face, the Canadians
moved steadily forward across the 500
yards intervening between them and
the second line defenses, built on a
high railway embankment, and dump
ed great number of high explosive
bombs into the underground forts.
Part of the German troops in this sec
ton had just arrived from the Russian
front and, according to prisoners We're
unprepared for this mode of attack,
which was new to them. Thinking they
.asxsuld be safe in the deep dugouts,
thet took refuge there, only to en-
coufkr destructive bomb attack
which must have killed or wounded
large numbers.
The German artillery was particu-

After the parade Senator Doyle

seats have been provided. Senator
Carlton is particularly well qualified to
speak on the subject of prohibition and
as the question is most vital one, ev-
erybody in the city should hear him.

GERMAN GUNS

Canadian Headquarters in France,
July 24.-The firing of German shells
weighing nearly three quarters of a
ton that were dropping 20 miles back
of our line was quickly silenced on
Sunday by bombs dropped by Cana
dian aviators, who discovered the po-
sition of the guns after raid over the
enemy line.

WANTS TO JOIN
THE RED CROSS

Abe Tarapani, proprietor of the New
York Bargain store, having failed to
be 'called" in the drawing for the first
American army of 100000 to help es-
tablish democracy firmly in the ma
tions of the earth, has determined to
get into the service of his country in
the ranks of the Red Cross, believing
that he can do more good work in that
capacity than in any other way. The
following is a copy of a telegram
which he sent last night to the head
quarters of the Red Cross association:

failing traitors and alien enemies is
quite proper and should be done in ev-
cry case, but we'd like to see the cuss-

keep. Taxing loyalty to feed disloy-

SPECIAL TRAIN COMING FROM
ST. PAUL TO THE ROUNDUP

W l.. Thompson. president of the
Amer.Ca National Bank, today noon
received a telegram from Louis W
Am, president Of the Great Northern
Railway. to the effect that MIR. Hill $
party would be special train from
st Paul. instead of special cars, and
for the Round-Up to make proper
reservations for them. The telegram
satd that he was now rounding up
his crowd for the special train and
would let MIR Thompson know in a
few days as to the exact number of
seats required.
First special from L. ng Distance.
This is the first time special
train has come from SO great a dis
tance as St Paul to the Roundup
and that it is coming is due to the
great liking Mr.. Hin conceived for
the Round Up when he witnessed 1t
for the first time last year and to
the trip which the Pendleton peop- e
made to 1t. Paul last winter for the
winter carnival
Just where this special train will
be seated In the grand stand is Il
problem that the management can't
solve. Seats are at a premium. There
is neither seat nor box left in the
east hall of the grand stand and the
local people have taken all the best
seats n the west half. In al the grand
stand there is not n single section
left with sufficient seats to accommo-

FIaqman Fuller Loses Life
When Light Engine Crashes
Into Rear of Freight No. 255
=. at Duncan This Morning
LEAVES WIFE, THREE CHILDREN

Smashed to death in the caboose
of westbound freight No. 255 when a
light engine crashed into the rear end
of the train at D,ncan this morning,
Flagman Walter Fuller of the
freight train crew was then virtually
cremated by a fire that destroyed the
caboose.
The narrowing accident. which from
the facts seems inexpliCable, occurred
at O'Clock this morning. The west
bound freight was running onto the
siding at Duncan to let the east
bound passenger go by. The train
consisted of 10 cars and the rear end
was just clear of the steel bridge two
miles west of North Fork.
Following the freight train came
the light helper engine No. 2l40 which
had just previously helped a passen-
ger train to Neacham. In some man
uer not yet explained the engineer
Chanin. disrcgurdcd the block. if il
was working, and crashed at terrific
speed into the Caboose. The CahoOse
was Knocked almost to kirdling and
a car loaded with oak lumber, just
ahead Of the caboose, was also smash
ed and set afire. This car was separ-
atcd from the rest of the train and al
lowed to burn.
At the time OF the wreck Flagman n
Fuller was alone in the cahoose. Four
among them J. c. HOskins,
who had been in the cahoose a few
minutes before we're out looking at
their sheep and SO escaped death.
The train was under the charge of
Conductor ". Cluse.
On receiving news of the accident
Coroner Prrwu Agent T. F. O'Rrien
DR.. F f Royden, company phvsici-
an. and others went to the scene Of
the wreck An inquest will be held
tomorrow morning at Q o'clock and
at that time an effort will be made to
fix the responsibility for the fatal
mishap
So burned was the dead flagman
that a passenger from the easthound
train who took a glance at him fell
in faint and it was some time be-
fore he could hc revived. Fuller
lived at Ia Grunde He had a bro
ther. q member of an eastbound train
crew. who was almost frantic when
ho learned of his brothers death. The
mother took charge nf the body.
