ther progress west of Lens. The
number of prisoners taken here by the
Canadians now totals 1.120.
The German crown prince is not
yet sure that the French positions
along the Aisne front are invulnerable
and his latest attacks here have failed
as did all his previous ones. One
German effort was on front of more
than a mile in the region of the Cali
fornie plateau. 1t was stopped by the
French artillery. The French also
checked a German attack east of
Cerny. The crown prince took the
initiative on the right bank of the
Meuse but his attacks were broken
up with loss.
The Austro-German offensive in
southwestern Moldavia apparently is
slowing down before the stubborn re-
sistance of the Russians and Ru-
manians. The latter are still fight
ing desperately in the area OF Fox
shani and the Sereth river, and Field
Marshal Won Mackensen has made no
further appreciable progress. Petro-
grad reports the repulse OF several at
tacks in this area.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 17.--Seizure of
Missouri coal mines and prosecution
of Missouri coal dealers on charges
of violating the state antitrust law
was threatened by Attorney General
McAllister in a formal statement this
afternoon.
, The attorney general said power of
the state should be used for the pro-

tant charges for coal.
The attorney general said he prob
ably would recommend to Governor
Gardner that they state seize and op-
crate all coal mines in Missouri.
The attorney generals statement
adds:
THE evidence taken in this state
discloses such shameless action by the
coal operators and dealers that may
invoke the criminal provisions of the
antitrust law of this state and prose-
cute the individuals criminally who
are guilty.
''I think the whole power of the
state should be employed to relieve
the situation Of the consumer and to
thwart the scheme of the coal men to
reap millions in excess profits and
may recommend to Governor Gardner
similar action to that threatened by
Governor Lowden of Illinois,

London, Aug. 17.-French troops
in the Ypres area have progressed in
the neighborhood of the River Steen-
beke.
On the British portion of this front,
according to the official report from
British headquarters in France to-
night, there has been no change and
the Germans have ceased their coun-
ter-attacks.
The French and British troops have
captured twenty-four German guns.
The number of prisoners taken by
the Canadians in the Loos-Lens sector
now has reached 1920.
The Canadians have organized and
made secure the positions captured
yesterday and have made an advance
west of Lens.
Concerning a report In the German
official communication that the forces
of Crown Prince Rupprecht had re-
taken the town, which was captured
by the British Thursday, the official
press bureau issued this evening the
following communication;
"The German wireless official COM

misstatements. The right flank of
the allied attack on Thursday was on
the Ypres-Menin road. There was no
attack between this road and the
River Lys. The enemy. therefore.
nearly doubled the length of the
front of attack.
"The enemy has not recovered
Langemarck. nor did he make any
attempt to do so. A British staff Of

he had just returned from Lange-
marck, where he had been for five
hours

Langemarck but considerable length

GERMER REARRESTED
AT WILSON'S ORDER

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Adolph Germer,
national secretary of the socialist par
ty, recently arrested and later re-
leased. was rearrested today on a
charge of having violated the espion-
age la=-- - making a public speech
against consCription.
His rearrest is said to be the result
Of consideration Of the case by Pres
ident Wilson and Attorney General
Gregory. The address complained of
was delivered by Germer at a mass
meeting August 9. Germer's case was
set for hearing before Federal Judge
Carpenter next Wednesday.
The complaint against Germer

feloniously did make and convey false

mo worse ground for an advance
could have been encountered. The
Steenbeke river was in flood and the
whole region was waterlogged from
recent rains. Our infantry was wal
lowing in mud all the time and had
1t not been for the efficacy of our
artillery fire, the men would have
had hard time with the enemy.
Dugouts Are Bombed.
'As it was our troops had destroyed
most Of the machine gun redoubts
which represent the main defenses in
this section, but there still remained
many underground Notifications
which had to be fought through and
silenced with bombs or left behind
with the Germans still in them.
There was, a typical example of
this at a point southwest of Lange-
marck known as Aubongile. Here
the Germans had constructed steel
and concrete dugout with heavy steel
trapdoors on top. 1t would hold per-
haps fifty to seventy-five men with
numerous machine guns. The artillery
had been unable to shell them out
and when the infantry advanced the
Germans crawled into thAir hole and
closed the iron doors over them
There was no bombing them out. but
the Germans themselves were prison-
ers. They dared not open their doors
to fire machine guns for fear of
bombs, so we pushed ahead and left
the Germans there with squad OF
bombers sitting outside ready to throw
explosives when the door opened.
The situation was not without humor
and for all | know. it remains the
same, but sooner or later the Germans
must give in.
There was heavy hand to hand
fighting before Langemarck, among
the concrete defenses. bat we had no
trouble when once inside. Our in
fantry tell me that once our barrage
has passed, over the ground they
have little trouble with the German
infantry"

TEUTON COUNTER ATTACKS
FAIL WITH BIG LOSSES

Their counter-attacks having failed
with severe losses, the Germans in
the Ypres area of the western front
have not resumed attempts to recap
ture the ground lost to the Anglo
French troops on Wednesday.
On the northern wing of the Ypres
front the French, after repulsing
heavy German counter-attacks. on
Friday made further gains near the
Steenbeke river. Elsewhere on this
front, the latest report from Field
Marshal Haig says, there has been
no change. In addition to their cap
ture of more than 1900 prisoners, the
allied forces captured twenty -four
guns from the Teutons.
While admitting an allied gain along
the User canal and near Bixschoote,
where the French advanced, Berlin
claims officially that most Of the Brit
ish attacks were repulsed and that
Langemarck is still in German hands.
This claim of the German general
staff is officially denied in London.
which says the British not only hold
Langemarck, but also ground beyond
the village.
London officially denied that the
fighting front was twenty miles long
as Berlin declares. Field Marshal
Haig on Thursday reported the fight

washington, Aug. 1.-Two army
divisions instead OF one, comprising
a total of at least $4,000 men. prob
ably will make up the first contingent
of the national guard to go to France.
Although no official confirmation
was obtainable. there were evidences
today that the composite Forty.sec-
ond division, whose organization re-
Gently was announced will be ac-
companied abroad by the Twenty
sixth. made up of New England
guardsmen. No New England states
are among the tewnty-six having
representation in the composite di-
vision.
The commander of the Twenty
sixth Is Maj. Gen. Clarence Edwards,
now acting as commander of the
department Of the northeast and IL is
presumed he would go to Europe with
the division. The Forty-second Is
commanded by Maj. Gen. w. A. Mann.
Shipping Available.
report was current today that
sufficient shipping would be available
for forwarding two divisions within

Twenty-sixth had been selected to go

The Forty-second division Is being
modified at Mineola. L. l., under the
new European standard, which re-
auires that the strength OF the in

process necessitates the addition of

No hint has been given as to the

The original plan for composite
