War Summary

General Haig's evident purpose to
give no rest to the Germans before the
British front in Belgium and northern
France had a new eXemplification last
night. His troops struck at the German
positions around the great coal city of
Lens.
On a two-mile front, south of the
SoucheZ river, the enemy lines were
penetrated to a depth Of more than half
a mile, and successful operations were
carried on further north as far as La
Basse.
The fall Of Lens apparently is near.
The field Of last nights attack lies
from Is to 20 miles south of that of the
big drive made Thursday by the Brit
ish in Belgium, which resulted in the
capture Of the commanding Wytsch.
aete- Messines ridge and elimination Of
one Of the most annoying salients IN
the entire line on the western front
Somewhat widely separated as are
the two fields of attack. they bear re-
lation TO each other Of constituting
points from which the great manufac-
turing district of northern France, CEN
tering in Lille, may be subjected to al.
lternating pressure.
Success Of the British at Lens may
have been due partly because the Ger.
mans had to make heavy concentra.
tons against the British on the Bel
gian front. It was during a desperate
counter attack on ground won by the
British in the Wytschaete- Messines sec
tor that General Haig attacked the
more southerly area. The Germans were
completely repulsed, the British hold
ing all the ground won Thursday.
On the front held by the French
there also was hard fighting last night.
The Germans northeast Of Cerny made
four attacks and suffered heavy losses
in all Of them.

MANY GERMAN AIRMEN
GOING TO DEATH

Copenhagen. June s.-tvia Londonlv
The death notices In the German pa
pers indicate what a terrible toll the
western battle field is taking among
German aviators. Scarcely an issue OF
the Berlin. Hamburg and other papers
which circulate among officers appears
without at least two TO three and often
eight or more notices OF deaths in the
flying corps.
Notices OF deaths OF submarine off.
GERS are as rare as those Of flyers are
frequent. For several weeks none has
been noticed In the Berlin and Hamburg
papers and Il Is possible that the admi
ralty has prohibited their publication.

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
MAY BE KILLED ENTIRELY
Many Members of Congress Oppose
Alleged "POrk Barrel"

Washington, June 9.-The nationa.
emergency may make it more difficult
than ever if not impossible, to enact
waterways Improvement legislation at
this session of congress.
This seemed probable today as re-
suit Of the increasing opposition TO the
100000 annual river and harbor ap-
preparation bill under discussion in the
house.
Opposition is based largely on the
ground that the proposed improvements
can wait until peace comes. In add.
tion, many members Of congress are
hostile TO what they claim is pork oar
rel" legislation.
Even If the bill gets through the
house, it will not pass the senate. many
members predicted.
