Confines Canal the Germans also launched a counter attack, but were hurled back.
 It has not yet been possible to count the prisoners but it is known that they run well into the thousands.
 The reconquered territory about the Ypres salient has yielded it's details of the awful effect of the British ar tillery fire. The German bodies lie thick in many places and in instances too numerous to escape comment fully accoutred soldiers were found turned away from the direction of the British attack. indicating that they were retiring .when struck down. Large numbers of the dead were mere youths, slight of build and phy- sically unfitted to bear the strain of war.
 Most expressive was the comment made by a German officer who was found badly wounded in a shell hole. Addressing a British officer in excel lent English and with a quiet smile, he said:
 Good morning. You see you have played the devil with our defenses. Your gunners have been doing some good shooting"
 Many German infantrymen fell vic tins to their own artillery at the out break of the entente attack, for the observers had lost their view of the targets and in a confused, frenzied at tempt to stem the onslaught the German gunners unwittingly dropped shells among their own men.

PROSECUTING ATTY
 WILL ENFORCE LAW
Says All Nevada Citizens Who Refuse to Dip Cattle Accord ing to Law Will Be Prosecuted
 To Ask for Special Grand Jury

Prosecuting Attorney Tillman B. Parks in the letter below declares that ,all persons who refuse to dip their cattle in compliance with the Tick Eradication statute will be prescott ed. It is stated that there are a num- Der of citizens in the county who pos itively refuse to comply with this new law.
 In evey portion of the county vats have been built and agents employed to assist in the work. Mir. Parks let ter follows:
 To the Citizens of Nevada County:
 For the past 60 days I have ener- getically endeavored to induce the people of Nevada county to comply with the provisions of the dipping law and thereby avoid prosecution. The agents who have charge of the work finally agreed with me to postpone this work, in a measure, until the 10th day of July in order that the farmers might pass their busy season. Nealy all persons in Nevada county have complied with this law, but the var ious agents of Nevada county have in formed me that number of persons refuse to dip their cattle at the times and places designated by those in charge of the work. 1 have done my best to have this law complied with without resorting to the courts. It is also told to me that those persons who refuse to dip their cattle claim they can escape conviction by being tried in the J. P. court of their com- munity.
 This is to notify every person in Nevada county that it is now my in- tention to enforce this law to letter. Those parties paying the taxes and owning cattle are entitled to protec- ton and to have tlw law enforced. The circuit court of Nevada county will convene in September and l in- tend to apply to the circuit judge for an order to convene a special grand jury to indict those who willfully re- fuse to dip their cattle under the di- rection of the agents. Each day that they fail to dip their cattle is a separ- ate offense and shall ask the court to instruct the grand jury, that where evidence justifes it, to return an in dictment for each day they refuse to dip their cattle. In no sense of the word is this a threat but it is simply a fair and final warning that this law must be enforced.

 Prosecuting Attorney.

British Headquarters in France and Belgium. Aug. 1.-The situation at this hour along the Flanders battle front is virtually unchanged.
 More than 1000 prisoners were taken by the British in the Ypres salient alone.
 Heavy rain, which has continued in an unceasing downpour since last night transforming the battle ground in Flanders into a sea of mud, has forced a comparative Hull in the oper- ations this morning at most points within the zone of the entente allied offensive begun yesterday. Generally speaking, the situation early today was unchanged along the British front. Several German counter at acks were repulsed during the night and the heavy artillery duel con- tinued, but the movement of the big guns has been rendered most difficult by the rain. The German artillery to- day actively shelled the trenches which were wrested from them yes terday in No Mans Land and the British guns continued to pour a steady stream of shrapnel and high explosives into the positions to which the enemy had retired.
 The air squadrons on both sides were rendered helpless by the storm to assist in the direction of artillery fire.
 The section of the defenses on the Warneton-Gapaard road, which was taken by the British in the first rush. was the scene of heavy fighting dur ing the night and the Germans sue ceeded in retaking it. The British, however, delivered a strong counter attack and again drove the enemy out after sanguinary fighting.
