SHOWED GALLANTRY
Manitoba Battalion Carried Fouquescourt
in Dashing Attack Led By the

canadian Press .--Numerou stories of
individual gallantry and initiative on
the field in the recent fighting east of
Amiens are coming to hand. A Manitoba
battalion was held up in an attack on
Fouquescourt, which lies within the old
Somme defenses. Realizing capture Of
the stronghold was essential to success Of
the entente operations, the commanding
officer personally led dashing assault
into the heart of the enemy position.
His example so inspired all ranks that
their advance was irresistible, and after
the village had been mopped up the bat
TALON consolidated position to the east
and held it against all counter attacks
for two days.
A central Ontario battalion did equally
good work in front of Beaueourt The
cavalry had been held up here by con
yerging machine gun fire from the south
Of the Roye road and the woods to the
north aud east The battalion was sim
ilarly held up but its commanding officer
realized the key to the position was a
small wood to the northeast, which was
alive with machine guns
Taking advantage Of the smoke screen
afforded by a burning tank, he led in a
hastily collected party and rushed the
wood, capturing 10 machine guns The
battalion then took the town with a
daah, the enemy retiring routed.

Fighting is reported proceeding at He
ninel. The line of battle, starting with
Campeoux on the Scarpe river, follows:
Monchy.le Preux, Guemappe, Wancourt,
Heninel, Croselles, east of Mory, Fay-
reuil, Avesnes, Eaucourt-P PAbbaYe, Mar
,tinpuich, west Of Bazentin-l le- Petit, Ma
metz and Carnoy, and thence to the
Somme just to the west of Maricourt
There is little change south Of the
Somme, except that the British line has
been improved to the east of Chauignes
North of Bapaume the Germans have
been driven farther back. According to a
report from the front lines, the British
have reached the Bapaume- Beugnatre
road and have established themselves
there.
The towns of Monchy -le- -Preux, Cue
mappe and Wancourt were on the Hin
denburg line as it stood prior TO the Ger
man drive on March 81. In this sector
the Germans drove ahead slightly, but
were held up after the second day of the
fighting and after that time could not get
nearer Arras.
This mornings attack apparently was
between the Cojeul river and the Scarpe
and adds about four miles to the length
of the battle front.

LOWER FISH PRICES
In Prospect for 1919 Because of Better
Fishing Boats.

Washington, d. G., Aug. 26, Fishing
craft destroyed by German submarines
off the New England coast will be re-
placed by the emergency fleet corporation
at the request of the food administra-
tion, with deep sea modern trawlers
Construction will be begun immediate
ly on rs vessels, to be in operation on
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and III
the gulf of Mexico early in 1919. The
food administration asked for the boats
in order to increase the production Of
salt water fish.
Heavy increases in the annual produc
tion of haddock, small cod, lat fish and
other salt water varieties are expected
to result from the operation of the new
trawlers, and enable carloads TO enter all
the interior markets of the country ev-
cry week in the year, stabilizing prices

1tN- ge of the Steam

mo ONE ALLOWED

Patrol Boats Picked Up the
Vega Just Outside an
Atlantic Port

An Atlantic Port, Aug 26.--The steam
yacht Vega, brought into port late yes
terday by naval authorities for investi-
cation, lay at a closely guarded wharf
to-day. No one was allowed to leave
the vessel and no one on shore was al
lowed to approach her.
1t is understood the yacht was pur-
chaser at New London, Conn, for $500
to replace one of the vessels lost in the
raids by submarines on the fishing
banks. She is said to be bound to a point
on the Cape Breton coast.
Patrol boats, which for week had
been watching vigilantly for the yacht
picked her up few miles outside the
harbor 1t was reported she had no
ships papers, and that all on board ex-
cept the captain and mate, were foreign
ers.
On the deck were piled bags of coal,
while the forward hold was filed with
mattresses, possibly part of the fur
nishings when the yacht formerly was
used for pleasure purposes. All the win
dows were fitted with canvas, which
would complete darken the craft at

BRITISH CAPTURE MONCHY-LE-PREUX
in DRIVE AT OLD HINDENBURG LINE;
ARE ADVANCING ON FOUR-MILE FRONT
PICARDY BATTLEFRONT
CONSIDERABLY EXTENDED
By the Associated Press.l J

by Une Associated FreSS.l
Extending the Picardy battle
line far to the north into the Ar
tois sector, the British launched an
attack this morning in the Searpe
region, east of Arras. This attack
may be considered as a new de-
velopment of the terrific battle
east OF the Ancre river, which has
been going on since last Wednes.
day.
The British war office says good
progress is being made in the new
attack, which was begun in an
area where the Germans hold
strongly fortified lines which have
been held by them for the past
two years.
Immediately south of the4 Coieul
river the British seemingly have
encountered a slight setback, for to-
days reports show they are fight
ing west of regions where the bat
tie was said to be going on yester-
day.
Bapaume seemingly is being
slowly pocketed by the British.
Favreuil, mile and a half to the
northeast, has been taken by the
British, who have passed beyond
the village, while farther north,
Mory has been left behind by Field
Marshal Haig's men.
Progress ON each side of the
Somme rvier is officially reported
from London and it il said the
British are advancing toward
Maricourt, four miles northeast Of
Bray.
There has been great artillery
activity from Roye to the Aisne
river, according to the French Off
ial report, but there is no mention
of new infantry attacks in this vi
tai sector. German surprise at
tacks on the French lines in the
Vosges sector have been repulsed,
Paris says.
AS the battle stands to-day, the
British appear to be quite near the
old Hindenburg line south OF Ar
ras, while they are making an at
tack directly against it along the
Scarpe river. Ii the attack
launched this morning is success
full, it may have determining eff
feet on the course of the battle
farther south, for German re-
treat over wide section might be
forced 1t also win effect the
Flanders sector to the north, from
which the Germans are said to be
retiring.
Heavy rain is falling over the
battle area, it is reported. This
will tend to slow down the move
