Story in Brief

Armentieres has been evacuated by the
British, while the Germans, driving in
| from the southwest Of the town, are
struggling to push forward in the area
southwest of Messines ridge, the key
point of the British line in Flanders.
Messines ridge itself has been the
objective OF desperate frontal attacks
and the Germans are reported to have
pushed on to the ridge several times
during the fierce hand to hand fighting.
Each time however. the British came
back at them with effective counter at
tacks and today were still holding the
ridge.
west of Armentieres the enemy.
struggling in his deep salient. has
pushed the fghting to the limit and at
one time succeeded in driving some
three miles beyond the river Lys to La
Creche. In this situation the British
orous counter attacks ousted the Ger
mans from La Creche and other neigh
boring terrain.
wytschaete, south OF Messines, was
also the objective Of heavy German at
tacks and possession of it changed sew
eral times, but this morning found
Field Marshal Haig's troops holding
the town.
There was a similar hard fight Tor
Lestrern, at the western tip of the Ger
man salient, on the River Lave.
The Germans worked their way into
this place yesterday. but were unable
to move on further and ultimately were
driven out OF it and back across the
Lave.
North of Armentieres the British po-
sition hinges on Ploegsteert and Ploeg-
steert wood. which is the line bisected
this morning.
There was no let up in the engage
ment today, the battle continuing on
the entire twenty-hve-mile front from
La Bassee north to the Ypres-Comines

AZORES NAVAL BASE
ACQUIRED BY u. S.
Station to Be Used Not Only by
Warships, But Also by
American AirpIanes.

For the protection Of the Atlantic
trade routes to southern Europe, the
United States, with the consent of Por-
tugal, has established a naval base on
the Azores Islands.
Guns have been landed to begin for
tification of the station which, in addi-
tion to being used as a naval base for
American submarines. destroyers and
other small craft, also will serve as an
important homing station for American
airplaues, several OF which airead,
have been assembled there.
Negotiations now are in progress be-
tween the State Department and the
Portuguese government to insure full
cooperation between the American
naval forces and the local authorities
of Portugal on the islands for the ade-
Quate defense of the station.
This action will simplify the task of
protecting the great trade routes not
only to southern Europe and the Medi-
terranean. but also returning traffic to
in tho United States.
Portugal was not only willing to
enter the arrangement, but was eager
to see 1t perfected. that her own lines
sessions would be covered The value
OF the new station as base for the re-
punishment of supplies for American
submarines, submarine chasers and de-
stroyers on the voyage to Europe al
ready has been demonstrated.
1t 10 permissible to disclose these
facts now, because 1t Is known to the
government that they are known in
Germany.
Reports Of German Base.
Tho Azores constituent part Of
Portugal, lie in the Atlantic about $50
miles west of Gibraltar and 1,400 miles
east Of New York. Many of the islands
are uninhabited. and since the German
unrestricted submarine warfare began
there have been several reports that
submarine base by the Germans. Num-
bers Of vessels have been sunk by sub
marines in the vicinity Of the Azores.
The CHIEF ports on the islands are
Horta on Fayal Island and Ponta"Del-
gada on Sac Miguel Island. Horta is
frequently used by vessels running
short Of coal and supplies. and is the
stopping place of some vessels trading
between the Mediterranean and the
United States, as well as steamers
trading between Europe and South
American and South African ports.
The Azores are the landing place of
the only cable line which connected
Germany directly with the United
hostilities began this cable was cut,
presumably in the English channel,
through which 1t runs. thereby stop
ping messages between New York and
Emden, Germany. There are four wire
less stations on the islands.

Voiding Of Honest Contracts.

above forbidden to be contrary to pub
lie policy and unenforcible. They are
prohibited and punished as unlawful by
a threefold penalty and forfeiture. The

Surely Congress will not void any

policy is proved. The sweeping, indis-
criminate impairment of the obligation
Of all leasing contracts of 1918 that

HALF HOLIDAY FOR
ELkS BALL GAME

The coming baseball game between
the travelling Elks club and the boys
of the local B. P. o. E. is creating
a lot of interest among the fans of
Tonopah. 1t has been good many
years since Tonopah has gotten to-
gether such a strong aggregation of
players and Mickey" Johns is conf
dent that his team will put up a
splendid exhibition against the visit
ing brothers and is even optimistic
enough to think that his boys will
bring home the bacon. In any event
it will be some game. To add to the
occasion it is planned to hold half
holiday on the 25th and thus create
an additional spirit of patriotism,
which it is hoped will result in ad-
ditional large subscriptions for war
saving stamps Everybody will be
expected to turn out and for the time
forget the cares OF business and the
worry as to how we are going to
meet our numerous patriotic financial
efforts to stand behind the govern
ment.

HANDSOME sum
FOR RED CROSS

A check for $2O3.90 was handed
this morning to Robert j. Highland,
chairman of the Nye county chapter
OF the Red Cross, as the net results
of the box sale held last Saturday
evening on Main street. The affair
was directed entirely by Mrs. John
c. Martin and Mrs r. A. Musante,
who succeeded in bringing about the
sale after many vexatious delays and
they are thankful to the many con-
tributors who sent in packages and
made donations to help the move
ment, which was the first of the
kind attempted In Tonopah Before
when the sale was announced the
ladies generously postponed action
owing to the Liberty loan drive, the
Red Cross drive, the Y. NJ. c. A.
drive and the Knights OF Columbus
drive, all OF which came in rapid SO.
quence and 1t was deemed expedient
to defer the sale until a more pro-
pitious time. which arrived with the
cloudburst of Saturday afternoon,
which would have led to another
postponement had 1t not been for
the enthusiasm of the ladies who in.
sisted on the sale going through.
The thanks OF the promoters are
extended to Milton NJ. Detch, who so
ably and genialIy officiated as auc-
tioneer, Miss Helen Case and Miss
Helen Spratt. the charming repre-
sentatives OF the Red Cross, who
took an active part in conducting
the sale, the Musicians Union and
w. B. Rountree, who acted as cash
ier.
A second storm at 10 O'Clock last
Saturday night forced hurried ad-
journment although the auctioneer
said he would stay at his post as
long as the ladies desired. This re-
suited in leaving unsold a number
of boxes which will be held until
some future time when another op-
pOrtunity il presented.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Major
General Brancker, Of the British air
ministery, said American air and sea
planes should be flying in Europe
next summer. He is here to CO.
operate with the American aircraft
officials.
He believes they should attempt
soon transatlantic flight He said
the British decided upon such flights
to find route for the movement of
American aircraft to the front and
expected British seaplane would
make an initial flight by autumn.
The start will be from Newfound-
land and touch at the Azores and
Portugal before arriving in Ireland.
The crew will include an engineer,
two pilots and navigating officer.
General Brancker said: There Is
no reason why considerable num-
ber of big aeroplanes. and seaplanes
shouldn't cross the Atlantic during
next summer" He estimates the trip
