Byers, head of the chemistry department, mas TeCelNeu permission from the board of regents to turn Bagley hall over to the Red Cross association for the purpose of making many of the chemical com pounds that would be necessary in time of war and that could not be bought on the open market.

British Front in France and Bel
GUM, July 31-Late today It was re-
ported that the Germans were counter
attacking at the point Of junction of
the French and British forces.
The French who attacked on the
difficult territory between Dixmude
and a point near Boesinghe forced
their way across the marsh and cap
tured the first two German lines.
With a few exceptions the Entente
Allies accomplished all they had plan
ned for the first day of this battle in
Flanders. The casualties Of the
French and British were surprising
light.
Six Bavarian divisions were with
drawn and replaced as they were de-
moralized by the inferno of fire.
At one point the British charged
through their own barrage fire to
prevent the escape of fleeing Ger
mans.
