ground.
Tower Hamlcts Spur is now cleared
OF the enemy ~ a result Of the Eng
llsh troops attack, and, according to
GENERAL Haig. strong German field
works on the eastern slopes have been
captured. North Of the Menin road
where the Germans successfully coUn-
Ter attacked yesterday, English and
Scottish battalions were engaged in a
herce day-long battle. By nightfall
they had succeeded in securing the
right flank against the principal attack
From Haig's report Of this section of
the battle it develops that two COM
psnies Of Highlanders had been iso-
lated by the Germans attacks yester-
day. They held out throughout the
night and were relieved this morning
by the advance.
The Germans did not intend to give
up this part Of the line yet, however,
and tonight heavy counter attacks led
the fierce fighting which is still in
progress.
The Australians cleared the remain
der OF the much disputed Poligon
Wood. Haig announces that more than
1000 prisoners have been taken, while
a tremendous number of Germln dead
are reported scattered over the ground.
II is interesting TO note that Berlin
tonight reports an attack from LANCE
msrck to Hollebeke, on front about
eight miles longer than the one Hag
says he attacked. The reason for this
is obvious.
Incidentally. the British had record
day in the air, downing twenty-four
German planes and losing only one.

NeW British Assault
Preceded for Hours by
Intense Barrage Fire

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND
BELGIUM, Sept 26.-Another heavy at
tack was delivered by the British at
daybreak to-day against the German
positions east Of Ypres, and early re-
ports showed they had pushed the en-
envy out of many important positions.
The offensive was started along the
line extending from east of ST. Julien
to southwest of Gheluvelt.
Along the northern half Of the line
of attack the British success was
marked, an advance of from 1000 TO
| 200 yards being made. Strong Brit
ish troops were engaged in fierce fight
ing only a few hundred yards west Of
Zonnebeke. The Germans are resisting
desperately.
The most important points involved
in the new offensive. as was the case
six days ago, are directly east Of the city
of Ypres, between the Ypres -Roulers
railway and the Ypres- Menin highway.
Here are situated those strongly held
elevations that still remain to the Ger
mans out of the numerous ridges and
forests which formed a vital part OF
their defence In this section Of Bel
GUM.
Australian, Scotch and English troops
this morning were pushing out into a
difficult country, over ground still sod
den from rains and floods, among con-
crete and steel redoubts heavily armed
with machine guns, over elevations and
through bits of wood choked with rapid
frers. They might fail in their object
and still have covered themselves with
glory. The Germans undoubtedly knew
that the attack was pending. and it is
probable that their heavy counter at
tacks yesterday and last night were
carried out in an attempt to Illustrate
the British plan.
The British artillery had been pound
ing the whole front of the new often
sive for days, but last night con-
centrated fire was turned on that sec
ton where the counter attacks were
made and the entire ground was torn
and smashed. Guns of all calibre
came to the assistance Of the infantry
here, and the bom0ardment for long
periods was maintained with drumfire
intensity.
For days the Germans have been
bringing up reinforcements in antici-
patton Of to-day's attack, and, unless
all signs fail, much sanguinary fighting
is to follow. The attack to-day was
started at $3.50 in the morning, and
again the infantry was preceded by
great barrages.

British Push
Ahead a Mile
On Ypres Line
Capture 1000 Prisoners in
Offensive on Eight
Mile Front
BY Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, Sept. 26.-Haig's men
vert over the top at dawn to-day In
the second big drive for possession OF
the Passchendaele ridge. On front
Of Yearly six miles northeast Of Ypres
the British drove forward in the face
Of the stffest opposition they have
yet encountered. There had been no
usual rest period before to-day's at
tack. during which the artillery could
wire out the German trench systems
and render the infantry's job little
more than an easy jaunt behind bar
rage to their detectives. 1t was case
Of desperate fighting all the way.
Despite this. Berlin tonight admits
that the British succeeded in pentrat-
ing their fighting zone to depth OF
kilometre, and lIsig announces that
the Polygon Wood had been cleared
of the enemy.
"Our operations were entirely sue
cessful," says Hang tonight.
The British commander announces
the capture of all detectives with the
exception of narrow front near St
Julien. where repeated German coun-
ter attacks held up the BRITISH I'd
vance.
All along the line, especially on both
sides of the Menin Road, Won Armin
hurled a shock of troops against the
Newly acquired British line. The bat
tie was still raging at many points a,
1890 tonight.
To-day's thrust, even more limited
than usual, succeeded in reaching. its
greatest depth on inres Moors!edH
Board. where the Scots penetrated 70
a depth of mile toward Zonnebeke.
On the extreme left. the British line
pushed forward half mile over
ground sown with pill boxes.
In this sector North Midanders and
Londn Territorals met their greatest
resistance, and no sooner had they
reached their detectives than two Ger
man counter attacks drove them back
ward.
Counter attacking in their turn, the
British regained most of the lost

AMERICAN EXPEDlTIONARf
ARMY, Sept. ANY soldier knows
that luck is better protector than a
tin hat or gas mask. So every SOL
der gets mascot. Some OF the mas
cots with the first American army nave
had experience and have proved that
they can bring luck.
For instance, there Is Jimmy the ant
eater, who belongs 10 the marines.
Jimmy was at Vera Cruz and the Amer,
leans took the city. Later he stopped
off at Hayti. and in consequence the
rebels were defeated by the interven-
ing forces. He is said TO be the only
ant eater in the world who has been
through two campaigns.
Army life has broadened Jimmy. He
has learned to eat frogs and hardtack
and flies and pie and beetles and corned
beef. As a matter of fact, jimmy Will
eat almost anything but ants. OF
course, he will not refuse morsel
simply because ants are in Il, but ne
no longer finds any satisfaction IN
making an entire meal out Of the pesky
insects. Possibly he feels that to main
tain his old standard of living would
reflect upon the hospitality Of the ma
rines.
The marines are equally tsctful.
Jimmy remains by courtesy an ant
eater and is always so termed when
exhibited 20 visitors.
He has two tricks. He will squeak
if his tail is pulled even ever so gently,
and ne will demoish and put out burn
ing cigars or cigarettes. The latter
trick is his favorte. He stamps out
the glowing tobacco with mis- forepaws
and tears the cigar or cigarette to
pieces.
The stunt is no longer universally
popular. The marine who dropped a
hundred-franc note by mistake just in
front of Jimmy says that teaching
tricks to anteaters is all foolishness.

Jimmy, the Anteater, and Sam,
heLion, Popular US. Mascots
By Haywood Broun

However, Jimmy has picked up few
stunts on his own account. IL is not
thought probable that any marine ever
encouraged him in his habit Of biting
enlisted men Of the regular army and
reserve officers. There is belief that
Jimmy works on broad general prin-
ciples. and many marines fear that
they will no longer be immune from
his teeth when the distinctive forest
green of their organization is aban-
doned for the conventional KHAKI OF
the rest Of the army.
Sam. the lion cub which belongs 10
one of the infantry regiments, is less
particular. He will bite anybody. lie
has NO affection even for his master.
Y il feared that he may not be pleas
ant playmate when he attains full
growth. but then he will be ready TO
be sicked over the top o. the Germans

mental or company mascots. Inc Ila.

For Federal Mediator Zred tonight telegraphed John Law son, leader of the strikers, that the government is unwilling to accept the management of the mines under the conditions offered by the mine owners and operators. The move toward the taking over of the mines by the government was made yes terday by the mine owners in the hope that the strike could be avert ed, but it now seems that it will be unavoidable and that the mines will have to close down if the owners do not submit to the demands of the strikers, which action they positively refuse to take.

LINCOLN, Nebr, July l5.-That the German Luther an professors who teaching in the University of Ne braska are to be closely watched in order that repetition ol ther Hparioc uerances may be prevented was the statement issued tonight from the headquarters of the state defense council All of the pe1agogues have denied that they made statements mbccoming American citizens but at the same time they do not deny that they are German sympahizcrs.
 AS soon as charges oi disoyay laid at their doors y the state defense council it thought that the men would immediately be removed from their positions at the university Indications noW however, are that they will not be removed owing to the fact that it is practically i'm possible to the services of other teachers to fill their respective places.
 Governor Neville has issued a statement conmcndino the state defense council for its action He says that inc action necessarily of timely nature
