LONDON. Aug. 22.-The war Of
fee today issued the following re-
port:
South and west of Lens the
new positions captured by us yes
terdAy morning on the outskirts
Of the town have been main
tdined, and further progress has
been made at certain points.
Northwest and north OF Lens also,
as a result OF heavy fighting.
German counter attacks were re-
pulsed by our rife and machine

artillery.
There was much activity during
the night on both sides east and
northeast OF Ypres."

city, Field Marshal HaiE reported to-
day.
South and west of Lens our po-
sitions were maintained" Haig de-
clared. Northwest and northeast of
Lens additional. ground was gained.
In the same section = strong German
counter attack was repulsed.
East and northeast Of Ypres there
was a great mutual artillery activity
at night"
Concerted Offensive.
The wars greatest concerted offen-
siYe movement went on .1ercely today
without abatement and with con-
tinued gains for the allies.
The French appeared to have made
the most rapid strides forward in the
most sanguinRry lighting. The Ger
man horde that once cIutehed Verdun
almost TO the point of suifocation
was driven still further back. The
bloody slopes OF Cote Q'Oie, .Regene-
Vile, and Samogneu, with inteTven-
ing fortlncAtinnS, were all swept clean
OF the enemy.
Counter attacks last night, made
with desperation born OF German
war chiefs knowledge that the
French offensive was only beginning,
brought the enemy nothing but heavy
losses.
Next In violence of the lighting was
the great battle over practically the
entire Itahan-AustrIan front. Rome
reported continued SUCCESS for Gen
eral cadorna's drive. Every sort of
WAT machine has been called into ac-
tion to pulVerize the rocky fortinca-
tIons OF the AuStrians-monItors
shellinE from the Gulf OF Trieste,
huge siege guns, British. and French
artillery, new and highly developed
bombing ASroplsnes, and trench NOR
tars. The greatest gains so far ct
tanned are In the northern part of the
line, above Gorilla
CanadIsns Striking.
Field Msrshal Haig's Canadian
troops once again are striking nerceIy
around Lens. They gained late yes
terday, and last night they beat back
powerfully organized counter-attacks.
Lens is nearly three-fourths encircled
by the British today.
1t was marked today that all Ger.
man counter-RttAcks have been made
with extraordinary violence. Dis
patches from all the offensive fronts
contain high praise for the tenacity
Of the German resistance and the
strength Of their picked troops
counter thrusts.
OF great interest here today was
the word from PetroErad indicating
that the Russian troops in the Vol
hynia and RoumApiRn theAters of the
war were offering rock bound resist
ance to further German advances.
Several German attacks failed.

Lieut. Gen. Sir Arthur curris, COM
mAnding the Canadian forces, By
Field Marshal Haig.
The German losses are reliably ss-
timated at more than double those
suffered by the Canadian troops"

counter attacks were in all respects

and added to his losses. The
number OF unwounded prisoners
we have taken since August 20
has now reached 6116. or these
ia are officers. This does not in
clude the prisoners captured yes
terday in shelters, or 600 wound

pitfalls.
According to Information now
at hand important booty has been
captured, especially in the three
tunnels in Dead Man Hill, where
we found dressing stations and
complete electrical plants. At
this point we took prisoner an en-
tire regimental Btaff and an Of

at work in North Dakota and South
Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho,
Oregon and Colorado, examining lands
for classification under the stock-rais-
ing homestead law passed December
80, 1916. The, work has been delay
ed because the sundry civil, service
bill making an appropriation for this
purpose did not become effective un-
til late in June, and it was then ne
cessary to conduct civil service eX-
aminations for candidates for posi-
tons as examiners. Work began in
North Dakota shortly before August

in the Williston and Dickinson land
districts. 1t is expected that the ex-
animation Of practically all lands in
North Dakota for which application
has been made under this law will be
completed in the near future, and that

Thomas w. Hughes, En- Route to

North Dakota had fewer men re-
jected than any other state which
sent troops to Camp Dodge" said
Thomas w. Hughes, Co. L, 313th en-
gineers, who was in Bismarck on Fri
day en- route to Glcndive, Mont,
where he is to appear as witness in
a damage suit Hughes was involved
in an automobile smashup at Glendive
Just before he was called to Camp
Dodge, and one of the victims died.
The suit in which he is called as
witness for the plaintiff.
Hughes is himself fine type Of
the men North Dakota contributed to
Uncle Sans national army. Six feet
tall, a slashing, stalwart type of troop
err, he looks, after only a few weeks
training, every inch a soldier.
ITS simply great" said Hughes, OF
life at Camp Dodge. There's some
kicking about the food, but | can't
see It. Last Sunday we had a big
chicken dinner, with ice cream on
the side, and all the tiXin's. The only
objection the boys have coming is that
they aren't allowed second helping
of pie and cake, but of anything else
they can have all they can hold.
"Sergeant Frank Johnson and Gene
Wachter of Bismarck are in my COM
rany, and Beers and lot of other
bismarck boys are in the same regl-
ment. They're all feeling fine and en-
joying camp life, and they're making
good soldiers. We moved just before
| left to new barracks at the north
end of the camp. The colored troops
are to have our old quarters that we
had fixed up all fussy. We came III
to cold shower baths, and just as we
had hot water installed and every
thing running tip top we had to va
cate. It's all in days work, though,
and we're not complaining. Twas
