Take l 500 Prisoners.

More than 1.56o prisoners were taken
by the Anzac and American troops of
the British fourth army on the Somne
when they captured Hamel village
and two woods yesterday. Among
this bag, unusually large for q local
action, were forty officers. All Ger
man counter attacks were easily
beaten off. and the Berlin war office
was obliged to admit in its day state
ment that the village and wood OF
HaInel were penetrated"
Except for artillery activity in the
almost forgotten Flanders sector
around Scherpenberg, the British
front was quiet yesterday. British
ayiators, however, were extremely
busy and put another q German
machines out of commission, losing
only four OF their own. How intense
and successful the British aerial work
has been lately is shown by the Lon
don air ministry's announcement that
during the last week 1875 German ma
chimes were brought down, while only
50 British machines are missing.
On the Franco-German front op-
erations were confined to raids and
minor enterprises. the Poilus TAX
ing prisoners in several sectors
Artillery activity was marked or
the Aaise and Avre fronts.
The Italians near the mouth OF
the Piave added to their gains OF
the day before and took an addi.
tional 419 prisoners. winning also
several of local actions in the
mountainous sectors. Altogether
the day was. except for aerial &C.
tivity, an unusually quiet one.

Happens Often.
This kind of occurrence is not a
rare instance ON the ninth floor of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
Building. And it is all because Miss
Frances Hawthorne Brady is The first
girl ever TO hold so important a job
in the railway world, or for that mat
ter, in the government service.
All Of which goes to show that
you can be pretty and love society
and tennis and horseback riding and
then suddenly make up your mind
to work for Uncle Sam and make
good. A little over six months ago
Miss Brady graduated from a fash
ionable seminary. Then the war
was brought very close to her. Two
brothers. both college men and ex-
pert engineers. volunteered for the
Army Engineer Corps and sailed for
France, the one as 1rst lieutenant
and the other as corporal. Then it
was that Miss Brady up and spoke
to her father, Col. T. G. Brady. say
ing that she was as good man
as her brothers any day and was 60
ing to do her bit by going to work.
Her father was much amused Un-
til he learned that his daughter had
secured a job as secretary to Oscar
Price, who at that time was nrivate
and confidential secretary to Direc-
tor General McAdoo. Price and the
girl broke all records for long hours
They were at their desk early in the
morning and it was often or IL

Mr.. Moore asked why the President
had not sent a message TO Congress

In this world war we read how
armies depend upon the number and

We are sure that our clerks will
come back to the firing line of busi-

their weekly Saturday and Sunday
