Canada Hea adquarters in France, by
Canadian Press Limited, Aug. 90
Northwest Of Lens, amid the trenches
and railroad cuttings which form the
last line Of German defense in that
quarter, the Canadians have estab-
lished strong posts In q special trench
which was the scene Of desperate and
indecisive fighting two days ago.
These, new posts give command Of
the last bit Of ground from which de-
tenders Of the city could overlook the
advance from the west. They are now
in hollow all around the front which
swings about Lens IN semi circular
form.
The eastern exits from the city now
are subjected to q constant and haras-
sing fire Of the artillery and machine
guns. This makes difficult the bring
ing up Of provisions and ammunition.
At 2 o'clock this morning a trench
Of Avion resulted in heavy fighting, in
which considerable number Of the
enemy were killed in hand-to- hand
fghting.
The Avion front was stron gly heldlby
the Germans as protection to Sal1an-
Mines a large mining village southwest
of Lens, where many guns withdgew
from the German forward area to es-
cape capture are located.
German prisoners speak with bitter
ness Of seeing their guns In process Of
withdrawal while the infantry was sent
forward. The loss Of guns still appears
to be more important in the eyes Of
the German commanders than the loss
of men.
The enemy has been active in the
air recently and has been bombing the
back areas freely.

reason. perhaps. women are satisfying
their fastidiOus fancy for lacey deco

abundance of fun frills.
Petticoats always initiate the lines
OF the outer skirt. And as the strug-
gle between the full skirt approved by
some American designers and the
straight skirt favored by France is not
yet over, the shops supply ruffled
petticoats as well as soft and simple
models.
For tn" stir petticoats. taffeta is
