BRITISH LAUNCH

Continued from Page Onel
this vital ground and the Teuton ar
tillery is retaliating heavily against
the British big guns.
Today's offensive will be known as
the battle of the Menin road. Fair
weather has improved the ground but
the mud still was deep and the whole
territory covered with water-filled
shell holes, tangled barbed wire and
shattered trees. The German defenses
were composed largely of concrete
redoubts
The Germans poured wicked
stream of bullets into the ranks of the
advancing troops from concrete re-
doubts. Every little elevation and all
the woods were choked with rapid
fire guns.
Shells Swept Like a Broom.
The British encountered hard fight
ing at many places, but their magnifi-
cent artillery work had done much
to make the first stage of their drive
easier
The British barrage swept the
country like a broom. The Germans
knew the attack was coming but were
unaware of its exact locality There
was a light rain last night but the
/ weather cleared this morning and the
visibility is improving.
London, Sept. 2o.-The British
forces on the Belgium front attacked
the German positions at $40 o'clock
| tHlS morning east OF 4preS. Field
Marshal Haig reports that satisfa Glory
progress was made and that the Brit
| 1sh already have captured some val
liable positions.
| The British official statement an
nouncing that Field Marshal Haig had
| taken the offensive this morning SAYS;
| I'VE attacked at $40 this morning
| on wide front east of Ypres. Salts
| factory progress is reported Our
| troops already have captured some
valuable positions"
Drive Made East of Ypres.
Field Marshal Haig's selection of
| the battle front to the east of Ypres
| in Belgium, as the scene of his latest
offensive against the Germans, indi-
| Gates that it is a continuance of the
| expressed purpose of the British COM
| mander in chief to force the armies
of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Ba-
varia from the western coast of Bel
GUM and to cut off the German sub
marine and airplane bases on the
North sea from Zeebrugge to Newport
including Ostend.
The British drive apparently is be-
ing made in the direction of Roulers
and Courtrai, from WHICH Belgian
towns. according to recent dispatches
from the Dutch frontier, the German
military authorities have been evacu-
ating the civilian population.
| That the British offensive had been
in progress for several days was made
known in recent statements of the
German general headquarters staff
The Germans reported that the Brit
ish were maintaining a violent and
destructive fire against the Teutor
positions, the bombardment frequently
reaching the intensity of drum fire.

fixing the responsibility upon the real
criminals"
The affair has aroused the city as
probably no other of a similar nature
in its history and in addition to the
Investigation by District Attorney Ro-
tan, inquiries were under way today
by the coroner, a detective bureau, the
police and citizens committee. After
an examination of witnesses to the
shooting, Mr.. Rotan declared several
other men besides the two under ar
rest We're implicated and that the kill
ing of Eppley was without provoca-
ton.

that six or eight men committed this

body for a definite purpose"
Gunmen Make Confession.
The district attorney said the two
prisoners, Jacob Mascia, % years old
and John CASTILLO, %, had confessed
that they were brought here to vote
for Isaac Deutsch, rival candidate OF
James A. Carey, whose life also was
| attempted, but they had denied doing
the shooting. Mascia is held on the
charge Of murder and Costello as ar
accessory.
Deutsch, who apparently was de.
feated by Carey in his candidacy fol
select council, disclaimed RESPONSE
bility for bringing the out of towr
men here and declared he had nc
| knowledge of their presence.

9 KILLED DUE TO SPY
German Recruit in Canadian Aero
Camp Filed Wires on Planes.

New York, Sept. 20.-Nine Cana
dian student aviators at Camp Bor-
den went to their deaths recently thru
the work of a German spy in the
camp, according to story published
today by the New York World.
The spy, according to the Worlds
informant, enlisted in the corps and
filed certain control wires until they
were at the breaking point. He was
a German, but spoke English fluently
and gained admission to the camp
thru a false story and a good know
ledge of mechanics.
The spy, it was said, was discovered.
His fate is not known.

BAKERS MUST BE GOOD
Receive Impressive Hint That Some
thing Will Drop Otherwise.

Chicago, Sept. 20.-The National
Association of Master Bakers received
an impressive hint at their convention
here today that the government may
take control of the bakeries unless
the bakers themselves work out a
plan satisfactory to the public. The
hint came from F. r. Shepard of
Boston, chairman of the bakers war
board, which met recently with Mr..
Hoover at Washington.
Mr.. Shepard's remarks were care
fully guarded, but he told the bakers
they must have faith in their board
and that something hanging over
their heads might drop if they do not
follow orders

Wall St, New York, Sept. 2O.-STOCKS-
Renewed professional selling and realizing
of profits forced the market generally be-
low yesterday close. Heaviness of the prtn-
cipal railroad shares had an adverse effect
on sentiment. The bears were active on

the shorts had taken in some of their con-
tracts there was no further support for
rising prices. Bonds were steady. Liberty
bonds sold at 99.9S to 100.
The demand for stocks was less vigorous
at the opening today but fractionally high

Socialist officials which will be pre-
scented to the federal grand jury this

Some of the officers doubt that any

a child in the cold-blooded manner
that is indicated They believe that
the mother or some friend was behind
+he hedge fence or at some other con-
venient point waiting to see who found
the baby and to protect it in case of
danger But the people who found
it took no time to look and the Off
GERS did not reach the place for some
time.
If it is possible for a two-weeks-o1d
baby to be beautiful this little lady is

chubby little cheeks, rosebud mouth,
black hair and blue eyes. Mrs Lari-
mer is taking care of her. She is per-
fectly healthy. has a normal appetite

KILLED IN RACE RIOTS
East St, Louis Scene of Bloody
Clashes Between the
Races

EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, July 1.-Two
negroes were taken from a street car
here this afternoon. shot and killed and
white man, standing in front of his
store. was killed by a stray bullet.
Despite the troop patrols, the attacks
on negroes continued this afternoon, and
at l o'clock eight negroes were in hos
pitfalls. The attacks usually took the
form of a bombardment of individual
negroes with stones.
Illinois guardsmen at noon patroiled
the streets of East st. Louis with fixed
bayonets as a result of the renewal Of
the race disturbances.
The trouble broke out anew when a
negro appeared at a street car transfer
point where a crowd of white men had
assembled.
A white man struck the negro in the
face and others knocked him down and
kicked him. Five shots were fired at
the negro as he lay PROSTATE, wounding
MIN in the arm and leg. The crowd
drew back, thinking the negro had been
killed, but he jumped up and rap away.
Later a white man fired at a negro
and the bullet hit another white man.
The armed man was arrested, but at the

police released him.
