Attack on Both Sides Of Meuse on
Front Eleven Miles Long-En.
glIsh RepuIse Enemy.

Paris, August 20 A smashing
French victory on the Verdun front is
recorded In the official communica-
tion from the war Office tonight. The
French have captured the enemy de-
lenses on both sides OF the Meuse
over front of more than eleven miles
penetrating the German line at sever
al points to depth Of mile and a
quarter. More than 1000 unwounded
German prisoners were taken.
The French took the offensive this
morning on the Verdun front, strik-
ing along sector of eleven miles on
both banks Of the Meuse River. Early
official reports from Paris, while CIV
ing few details Of the battle, say it
has developed TO the advantage of the
French and that prisoners already
are passing to the rear
The first reports do not show
whether the French have inaugural
ed major offensive, although the in
dications are that the operation is an
unusually important one. There has
been sharp fighting recently on the
Verdun front, which has been the
scene of some of the most sanguinary
struggles of the war. 1t was in this
sector that the German Crown Prince
launched an offensive early last year
in an attempt to break the French
line.
Last week the Germans made q
sharp local attack there, possibly hav-
ing learned Of the French prepara-
tions and hoping to break them up
For several days the French have
been conducting terrific lombard
ment Of the German lines.
In the north the Germans made a
counter attack on the positions taken
yesterday by the British near Epehy
London reports that the assault wa.
repulsed completely. The British lint
on the Ppres front has been advanced
slightly.
Heavy fighting Is in progress on the
Italian front. The Austrian War or
fee announced yesterday that gen
eral offensive had been inauguratet
by the Italians on a thirty-seven-mil'
front from the region Of Tolmino tt
a point near the Adriatic. The Italian
official statement of yesterday did no
mention the attack, but press dis
patches from Rome today speak of th'
new Italian advance and say the sit
uation for Austria is grave.
Another great aerial raid over Bel
GUM was made by British airplane'
on Saturday night. Many tons o
bombs were dropped on various OBJ
jectives. The British airplan re
turned safely after a battle with Ger
man machines, one of which was sho
down.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SAYS,
"BUY AT HOME,

In justice to our local merchants,
who we feel deserve your support, we
present for your consideration some
actual facts.
One of the stock arguments Of the
mail order house is that 1--WE sell our
merchandise at such small profit
that it will be a big saving for you to
trade with u.s." The mail order house
does not tell you that its profits are
made selling a class of merchandise
that your local merchants could not
handle and repeat sales, nor does the
mail order house call your attention
to the fact that 1t does not pay taxes
in your county to help support your
churches or schools nor to build
roads, neither does it care to have
you reminded that it does not employ
anyone in your community or buy
anything from your farmers and it is
equally concerned that you be not re-
minded that it does not extend you
credit or trust you for anything AS
matter of fact the mail order house
does not want to see your local mer-
chants prosper which is equal to say
ing 1t does not want to see your town
build up and prosper. 1t has no in
terest in you or your community what
ever. All 1t wants is your money and it
wants that in advance even before you
see its merchandise. These are just
few Of the reasons why these mail
order civic center destroyers should
be left along by all of us.

Aberdeen, opened for business yes
terday afternoon. Quite a few very
thirsty individuals were present when

zens of Brown county that whiskey
and beer bottles were scattered over
the River road and that the sounds of
revelry were to be heard for consid-
cradle distance.
About 1880 last evening Mrs. Wal

injury when driving through Hunt
ington Township. When short dis
tance from that place Mr., John Boone
got in the buggy with her and told her
that he would drive for her as there
was much disorder in the village
When they arrived in Huntington a
fight was in progress in the middle OF
the road and rock thrown by one
of the contenders came through the
back of the buggy and narrowly miss
ed hitting Mrs. Catron in the head.

ton Township and the surrounding
neighborhood are much wrought ur
