Efforts on Part of Germans

Efforts Against the
British

capture positions near Epehy, recently
taken by the British The war office an
nouncee they were repulsed completely
The Canadian troops around Lens
launched another attack on the western
environs of the French mining city at
4:36 this morning, reports the Reuter-
correspondent from British headquarters
In France. The attack developed into
one of the most desperate hand-to-hand
battles of the war. When the Canadians
went over the top, they saw masses of
gray figures advanced toward them in a
thick haze. Both sides had planned an
attack at the same moment. Fifteen
minutes after the clash came, the Ger
mans were making their last stand on
the parapet of their trench. They then
retreated rapidly.
Paris, Aug. 2l.--Counter attacks of ex
treme violence were made by the Ger
mans last night in an effort to re-
capture the positions taken in the French
offensive on the Verdun front, the war
Office announces. The Germans were
beaten back with heavy losses and the
number of prisoners exceeds 5000.
The German attacks were especially
severe at Avocourt wood and north of
Courieres attacks also were made by
the Germans without success on the
Aisne front, near Cerny and Hurtebise.
Sharp, decisive blows have gained for
the French positions held by the Ger
mans on front of more than | miles,
extending from the Avocourt wood east

the Bois De Chaume, while the Italians,

augmented when full details of the fight

mans and Austrians lost heavily in men
killed or wounded and in guns and ma.
chine guns captured.
The new territory taken by the French
embraces positions that have literally
wetered in French and German blood in
battles that have waged to and fro since
the German crown prince started his
most costly enterprise, the taking of Yer
dun, which resulted in utter failure as a
maneuver and cost the lives of
tens of thousands of his men.
Notable among the captured positions
are Avocourt wood two SUBMITS of lie
Morte Homme, the Corbeaux wood and
all of which were held
despite vicious counter-attacks by the
Germans, which were broken up by the
French fire with heavy casualties. French

REMOVE THE OBSTRUCTIONISTS

It would be difficult to find more represent atiye aggregation of obstructionsts than the organization that styles itself Peoples Council of America" with branches all over the United States From all reports it is being used as a vehicle for the expression of every form of an tagonism to the policies and purposes of the gov ernment. The work of that mschievous organ ization seems to be to impede and hinder pro- gress in the prosecution of the war The organ ization and it's principles are worth studying.
 The statement of it's founders, leaders and apologists that it's aim is the legitimate one of working, for early peace, does not relieve it. in the opinion of thoughtful observers of the sus- picion that it's main object in opposing the gov ernment is to cover cowardice. The organiza- tion has declared itself openly at variance with practically everything demanded by the major ity that is ready to fight for the country and peace for the world.
 This organization would not constitute great obstruction were it not for the fact that it encourages a class of men to keep up fire for the malcontents to warm by, such as the I. w. W. whose aim is never constructive but rather destructive. Conclusivey, all such obstruction ists will have to be removed if we want to make any headway. Congress has evidently arrived at the same conclusion if we can judge from it's contemplated action in the premises. Congress cannot act too soon.

account of the fight that was fought in Callahans s behalf by the Fairbanks Citizen, weekly paper, with Harmon Casky as editor. The paper charg- ed conspiracy by the Marshals office to railroad the man and everything that could be said against the Federal officials of that division was said. Nevertheless, he was found guilty and sent to McNeips. Subsequently, he carried his case to the appellate court which ordered new triai with the above result.
 At the time that the Citizen attacked the Federal officials of the first division, we LOOK oc- casion to remark that those officials should either be fired out of office the editor of the citizen punished, but neither was done, however. To- day the "railroaded' man is free; the editor of the Citizen has added another feather to his cap but the bunch" is still there. Possibly waiting the next victim.
