Other Items About CampbellSVllle
and GreenSburg.

A representative of The News was
in Campbellsville and Greensburg the
first of last week. He found both
towns alive with tobacco growers and
buyers from distance and it was
predicted that at the openings of the
loose leaf houses in the two towns an
immense crowd of people would be
drawn. The Greensburg opening was
last Thursday and both varieties Of
of tobacco, Buriey and dark sold high,
the bidding being spirited. This
house commenced to receive earlier
than the house at CampbellSVille, and
when the sale opened there were per-
haps one hundred and seVenty.tiye
thousand pounds to be offered. Ev-
erybodY seemed to be tobacco crazy,
and doubtless the whole consignment
was sold. This house is feeder to
Greensburg. 1t has brought about
more business in general way, and
is an enterprise for which the peo-
pie of Greensburg and Green county
feel proud and well they may.
The promoters of the Campbellsville
House number five of the staunchest
citizens of the county, and a great
outlay of money has been expended in
erecting its buildings. Its floor room
is immense, its opening sale to start

LONDON, Sept. 21.-From east Of Langenarcke to cast Of he Mes sires ridge, with the acme of .nten- sity surgirg upon the hilly posi- tions in the vicinity Of Celuvheit the Germans delivered terrific maased attacks in the heaviest of counters to regain the lost posi- tions in yesterdays fearful drive of the British.
 The British last night hastily solidifed themselves in the German trenches which they occupied and the morning saw them ready to take care of the awful attacks that poured upon them from early dawn.
 The fighting was as bad today as yesterday, with the Germans on the offensive all day in deter mined effort to regain the positions from which they were busted by

 The Germans began heavy ar t;llcry activity beyond St. Julien and all the way to tLe southward, cOnverging upon Hill Sixty the weightiest of their fire.
 The cannonading began before the day broke and simultaneously with the morning the Germans ad- vanced to the attack while still dusk.
 The bloodiest slaughter of the day took place near the positions which had been gained, the ma chine guns of the British alone say ing them from the desperation of the German attack.

FIRST OFFICIAL MOVE.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 20.- The first move against the Industrial Workers of the World began here, when charges were placed against the members to the effect that they were members of an Association which was guilty of interference with operations of the military forces and with aiding the enemy
 It is taken for granted that this will result in the conviction of the men charged and will finally result in wiping the organization out of existence especially in the west.
 In view of the excited war feel ing in some circles, the government should not find it difficult to obtain a conviction of these charges.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 21.-, The State Department stirred the Congressmen to the depths today and startled the country by issuing a statement further in connection with the German intrigue in neu- tral nations.
 Nor was the sensation lowered in any degree by the fact that the neutral nation this time was the United States before America enter ed the war and that the intriguer was none other than Count von BernStorff himself.
 Briefly the State Department i5- sued a statement declaring that it held possession of a cablegra1h sent from Bernstorff to Minister "On Jagow of the Foreign Office, Berlin and dated January 22, this year.

 An unofficial report published i3 the Standard today says that on the whole the gains ih this drive were accomplished with less loss than any so far conducted by Mar shal Haig. The fact that in scma places the British took Che German positions along the entire west Flanders front varying from 8 mile to two miles and half in length will convey the enormous force of this brilliant drive.

This has resulted in making them determined more than ever that full congressional probe will be insisted upon and that the government be requested to furnish all data in connection with the matter now held by it..
