the outskirts of Roeux, which have
been the scene of some of the most
sanguine hand-to-hand fighting of the
battle of Arras.
The German infantry drive on the
French at Laffaux was launched ov-
er front of between two and three
miles. 1t was prefaced by an unus-
sally intense artillery fire.
The French artillery and machine
guns in this sector, however, are on
the dominating ground torn from the
Germans by the dashing polius. The
close-woven masses of the rushing
Germans were a point-blank target
for shrapnel and machine gun bull

Fierce Charge RepuIsed.
A correspondent in the field today

German charge on the British open

"After a terrific bombardment,
lasting considerable time, the Ger

of Greenland Hill from the direction
of Louvain.

v NJ railroad MEN
CALLED TO FRANCE
Seventy-five Reported to Have Been
Drafted to Man Trains Over
There.

1t is unofficially reported that sew
enty7sive conductors and engineers
OF the w M. Railroad have been
caught in the draft of railroad men
to go to France to aid in manning
the trains in that country due to the
war decimating the numbers of
French trainmen.
While it was admitted at the rail
road offices at many places that
some of the w. NJ. men had been
called for service in France it could
not be learned if the foregoing mum.
her was correct. Some of the men.
it is understood, left yesterday for
their sailing points.
All of the men, it is reported, are
single and without any dependents
upon them. The w. M. has been
giving up men right along together
with the other railroads.
The men will be put into service
in France wherever the government
finds that it is necessary to use them.

BIC PEACH CROP
SAYS AN EXPERT
Mr.. Jacques Predicts the Largest
Field Ever Known in the Cum
berland Valley.

There will be peaches in such
abundance this year, according to
early reports, that some other crops
will blush With shame. Lancelot
Jacques, well-known fruit grower at
Smithsburg brings this encouraging
news that the peach crop judging
from present indications will be the
largest eveer. grown in the Cumber-
land Valley. AS to- prices, Mr..
jacques believes the growers will re-
alize well from their crop, as re-
ports come of the practical failure
Of the peach crops in Ohio and Geor-
gia.
He cited as an illustration of the
immensely of the peach crop that
Aaron Newcomer, a large orchardist
ar Midvale, will have 100000 bushels
of peaches in his orchard this year,
while all orchards, he finds are load
ed. Mr.. Newcomer is trying a new
busting process of arsenate of lead,
lime and sulphur on his trees for
brown rot and scab this year with
wonderful effect. J. Kieffer Funk,
well-known apple man, estimates
that the apple crop this year will
not be as large as last year. The
York Imperial and Ben Davis varie-
ties will be shy this season, but there
will be a fair yield of other varieties.

New York, Aug. 6--Renewal of trad ing after the stock markets double recess was characterized by a rela- lively broad inquiry for active stocks Pools also found it easy to advance various specialties, tobaccos, oils and sugars being particularly responsive at extreme gains of two to six points.

JOHNSON IS HAVING
Far Below 500 Mark Although Grif- fifth Says He Will Come Back

Is Walter Johnson nearing the end of his amazing career?
 "No!" shouts Clark Griffith.
 Yes" say the averages
 The speed king" has been bumped with startling frequency this year. Batsmen who rarely could foul his offerings in the other years, are hit ting him now without trouble Teams that he used to beat with ease in the other days are whaling him all over the lot now.
 The wonder hurIer' is far down in the ruck of the averages now. Moth ing but a phenomenal spurt can Iitf him to the 300 mark or beyond. And Johnson doesn't seem to have the squirting power of old.
 Walter is still there-and will be for many years to come" declared Grffi. Hes had some bad luck this year-that's why he's so far down. The boys haven't hit behind him. But they willard then watch him go. Don't try to count out WaIter-not for some years at least. He's only 30, is in perfect condition, and stil has all his speed. his strength and his skill"
 But the averages dispute Griff-and the opposing batsmen say the fast ball no longer hops in its uncanny way.
