With the British Armies in France
and Belgium, Sept. 30 Thy the Asso-
ciated Pressl The British at day
break today launched heavy often
sive against the German defenses
about the Ypres salient along an ex-
tended 'front.' which has its center
around Inverness copse, and astride
the Ypres-Menin road. little south
east of Hooge. From the first mo-
ment of going over the top the as
sault proceeded with marked success,
especially in the crucial sector be-
tween the Ypres- Roulers railway and
Hollebeke, where the British early in
the day had forced their way for
ward over marsny ground and through
woods filled with machine guns to
considerable depth and were contin-
ung the bitter fight in the neighbor-
hood of the famous Inverness copse,
Nuns wood and Glencorse wood,
where so much blood has been sh ed
since the allies began the battle of
Flanders on July 81.
Vital Position Taken.
positions to which they have advanced
in this section they will have accom-
plished one of the most remarkable
and most important achievements in
recent months. The German in
fantry made the most determined re-
sistance In their attempt t. regain
this vital ground and their artillery
rttalisted heavily against the British
big Guns.
This phase OF the battle of Flanders,
which bids fair to become known as
the battle OF Menin road. because II
centers in the territory astride the
Menin road, began at $40 o'clock.
The infantry advance was precede
by a barrage Of greater depth than
ever before witnessed. Five distinct
barrages, in fact, were dropped ahead
of the men as they began their Jour
ney into this difficult terrain. The
tremendous curtain of bursting steel
did its work well. and the troops push
ed forward rapidly toward their OBJ
jectives.
Germans Resistance strong.
Fair weather lately had improved
the ground somewhat hut the mud
still lies deep, over wide reaches Of ii
and the whole territory is covered
with water-filled shell holes, tangled
barbed wire and shattered trees. The
German defense consisted largely Of
concrete redoabts scattered in pro-
fusion over the entire country and
from these they have been able to
pour stream Of bullets into the ranks
of thu advancing .roois. Every little
elevation ais, held It's machine gun
emplacements mi Ill The woods were
literally choked with rapid firers
THE British ercoulternl hard fight

cent artillery prcpsratiOn hal done
much to make the first stise NJ their
drive easier. The past week must
have been one Of misery for the Ger
man troops lying In this section. A
great numbec of guns have been pour
ing numerous nigh power shells into
their territory and cverv now and 'hen
the British have put lown q barra ge
which swept the lan1 like a bro"'n.

TROUV|LLE WAS
WASTING COAL
Tango Has Been ExiIed From
Popular French Seaside Re-
sort, but the Crowd Remains
to Drink,

tpf MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiNgi
Trouville. France. Sept 20.-The
fourth war season at this great
French seaside resort has been the
most successful since that of 1918.
Tho villas have all been occupied, the
hotels filled to the garret and the
daily promenade has been almost as
brilliant as when il was interrupted
three years ago. It has been to a
certain extent gay season, with the
result that France generally has been
soandalized by It, Millionaires are
not playing high stakes at baccarat,
and the horses are not across the riv-
er at Deauville, but tango was here,
which caused trouble.
Casino Only Half Open.
The casino was only half opened,
but each evening the lights burned
little later for what was called
"Childrens fetes" Under the direc-
ton of competent floor manager,
these children's fetes became so pop
ular anl were prolonged SO late as to
attract attention. The prefect of the
department of Calvados decided that
the fetes resembled too much the tam
GO which. since the war, has been
danced in France only clandestinely.
Nearby resorts, who observed the
curfew regulations, and put out their
lights at IL o'clock, complained that
Trouville was wasting coal that would
be needed next winter to keep the
wounded soldiers warm In the Grand
Palace, so tango has been exiled, but
the crowd remains.
No Obvious Gambling.
There Is no obvious gambling here,
but there is an intensive consump-
ton of drink. Champagne, which by
common consent was to be reserved
for the celebration OF the final vic
tory, has come out of the cellar with
three years of accumulated energy.
The bottles are opened with rare eau
tion, however, to prevent the pop
pings of cork--an easy concession to
propriety. AS champagne is easier to
obtain than whiskey 1t has the pref
erence with the English as well as with
the South Americans. and even is
tolerated by the Scotch.
Horses are lacking for polo, and
there are too many submarines to
permit comfortable yachting, while
horse racing is taboo and sport re-
duced to the milder forms of tennis
and golf.

HOOVER CALLED UPON
TO REMEDY CONDITION
Growers Feel Price Fixed by
Commissioner Is Too Costly
to Them for Patriotism to
Prevail.


Oklahoma City, Okla. Sept co.
Wheat is being fed to livestock as a
substitute for corn in many counties
of northeastern Oklahoma and pend
ing governmental action very little ad-
ditional wheat will be marketed from
these counties at the price fixed by
the food administration, according to
a statement tonight by the state board
of agriculture.
The action of the farmers is due to
q number of causes. chief of which
is the scarcity of corn for feeding
purposes, coupled with the fact that
the farmer feels the government has
placed an arbitrary price upon his
product at q time when the law of
supply and demand is in his favor,
without at the same time fixing the
prices of other articles for his con-
sumption, the statement says.
Wheat Cheaper Than Corn.
First hand information of wheat
being fed to stock in Blaine and
Woods counties has been received at
this office" the statement continues,
ain the form of reports from county
agents. Very little corn has been
raised in northwestern oklahoma with
one county reporting a 3 per cent
crop.
with corn worth S225 bushel
and wheat bringing from $3.50 to
s1.95 at the elevator, the farmers arc
using wheat for fattening hogs, their
relative food values being almost iden-
teal
TN Woods county lls5mers are feed
ing wheat as the cheapest food they
have Little wheat will be sold until
the price is raised, the county agents
report. The government has not fixed
the price of corn.
Farmers Are Aggrieved.
According to these reports, the
farmer who, be it understood, is as
loyal as any other citizen and as anx-
ious to help win the war, feels that
he is being deprived of a righteous
profit from his product while others
are allowed to exact war profits
without governmental interference.
The situation was brought to the
attention of ]. M Aydelotte, chair
man of the state council of defense.
"While there is an apparent falla-
cy," Mr.. Aydelotte said, 'in feeding
hogs wheat in Blaine county and hold
ing 'wheatless days in Oklahoma City,
100 miles away. see no chance of
relieving the situation, This is a mat
ter clearly within Mr.. Hoover's juris-
diction"
While no reliable statistics are
a, ,ailable, agricultural authorities
agree approximately 60 per cent of
the 100000 bushels of the 1917
wheat crop remains on Oklahoma
farms.

HOPE GIVEN UP
 THAT GASBOAT
 ESCAPES STORM

Practically all hope that the gas boat Hunter is safe has been given up and it is feared that the two men, Captain Wiitola and John Lar tella. have been drowned in the troublesome waters around Point Bishop The Hunter has been miss ing since Thursday and searching parties sent out have failed to find and trace of the boat or the crew.
 The Hunter was owned at Douglas and was under charted to the Ma tional Independent Fisheries Con- pany She was engaged in hauling salmon from the receiving scow at Taku to Juneau. The Hunter loaded 1.500 fish there last Thursday and in the evening cleared for Juneau.
 The last seen of the Hunter was off Scow Bay where an outbound Hunter was laboring against heavy southeast gale and seemed to be making heavy weather of it. Ole Orson in the Thelma was sent out yesterday by Tony Antonsen to search for the missing boat, but no trace of the boat or crew was found.
 It is feared that the round-bOt- toned life boat, which was carried on the deck, was lashed down and that the Hunter went under so quick ly that the crew had no time to cut it loose and that they perished in the icy waters of the Inlet.

BARGE GOES ASHORE LOADED WITH FISH;
 MAY BE FLOATED

Sunday morning at o'clock, the barge Modoc, owned by the German and Company, of Seattle, under tow from Ketchikan to Tyee, went ashore on Tideman Island in smooth sea. The barge is resting easily and it is expected will be floated without difficulty
 The Modoc was used as a herring curing station and was loaded with salt fish, salt and barrels. While rounding a reef in a strong tide, the momentum of the barge caused her to go ashore. When it was seen that she would strike, the anchor was dropped, but the barge dragged about 200 feet before striking. The wreck report of the accident was filed today with the local customs officers.
