interests to get much out of their contract

morning, which accounts for the quick advance

SPRINKLING

| Now it is necessary to preserve
the water in Tacoma. The season
having been extraordinarily dry
and the rainfall seven inches be-
low normal, the Tacoma Water
Supply Co. and Water Commits
sioner Gronen are urging careful
luse of water for sprinkling pur-
poses.
Heretofore the use of water for
springling has been unrestricted,
but Thursday the water COM
pany issued rules whereby the use
of automatic sprinklers be per-
mitted between the hours of 6 and
8 p. m. only. altho the hose may
be used any time for sprinkling
provided 1t has the nozzle attach
ed and is used by hand.
Commissioner Gronen comment
ling on the situation Thursday
said: Attention of heavy users
of water is called to the fact that
sprinkling during hours of sun
shine does not help lawn or gar
den, go doing this work In the
evening hoprs will not effect =

Breezy Newspaper
Issued at Camp

This week at Camp Lewis the
men are porting over the first is
sue of 1.-THE Bugle," weekly
newspaper published by members
of the 166th depot brigade.
1.-The Bugle" is an eight-page
newsy newspaper, full of meaty
editorials, camp news told in
breezy fashion, and chock full of
special articles dealing with war
problems calculated to inspire the
men at the camp and keep them
full of military pep"
In the first issue is a clever
sketch of COL p. w. Dawson, who
gives the Bugle a "send-off" in
the form of a congratulatory let
ter. Sketches elsewhere in the
paper tend to prove that 1.-THE
Bugle" has on its staff some skill
ed artists.
Most every company and bat
talon is mentioned somewhere in
the paper. The column "At Ease
in the Depot Brigade" is one that
will become very popular among
readers not only at the camp but
elsewhere where the men have
friends.
The paper carries goodly
amount of advertising, all OF
which is we'll displayed, proving
that the merchants of Tacoma
have given their support to what
is destined to become big source
of pleasure among the soldiers.
The paper is edited by G.. w.

FAST TO GAINS

Neuilly wood part OF Belleau wood
and the railway station and rail-
way at Bouresches.
Early Thursday morning ma
rines started to advance singing
and whistling Yankee Doodle" as
they trotted across No Mans Land.
The infantry on the right of the
marines, advanced in the face Of a
heavy fire.
Capture Machine Guns.
In less than four hours the ma
rines had completely cleared
Neuilly wood of the enemy, taking
more than 100 prisoners and 10
machine guns. French infantry,
on the left, took go prisoners.
Continuing their advance, the
Americans fought their way thru
the crack Prussian troops oppos-
ing them, punching their way past
Buss:ares and occupying Torcy,
part of Belleau wood, the village
of Bouresches, and the railway
station and railway in the latter
place.
The desperate defense by the en-
envy prevented the Americans
from obtaining some of their OBJ
jectives but the attack was re-
newed late today with great vio-
lence.
Go Without Sleep.
In regimental and brigade head
quarters, officers who had not
slept for five days and nights sat
at telephones during the attack,
receiving reports and sending out
orders.
Belleau wood was subjected to
a fierce artillery bombardment
prior to the attack, but the infan-
try encountered elaborate machine
defenses which were still intact.
In fierce fighting there, the
marines finally took the north
west corner of the wood, the
boches then re-taking the wood
beyond in fierce counter attacks.

ter attacks.
Hold on; hang on, Sibey; we're
coming out to help you," was the
CHEEKY word of major phoned
back, tho he himself was near ex-
haustion from lack of sleep.
Capture Railway.
A few minutes later came re-
ports from various companies that
they were reaching their objec-
tives and establishing communica-
ton with each other. In the mean
time, trench mortars were ordered
up and blew up boche positions
that were still holding out.
Practically all the fighting had
been carried on thru wheat fields
and woods. The Americans would
rush ahead a little way, pause to
resist counter attack and then
rush on again.
The boches chung to the railway
station at Bouresches for several
hours. Finally the American
rush could not be denied and our
boys swept into the village, fight
ing their way thru the streets,
storming the station and winning
control Of the railway.
