ANOTHER HUN PAPER
''F'airplay' Bought by Bernstorf for

New York, Sept 2.-The assertion
that Count Won Bernstorff in his eff

in the United tSates actually .pur-
chased and controlled Fairplay,
New York publication enlisting the
services of a native American to con-
ceal his hand, was made here last
night by Alfred L. Becker, deputy at
torney general Archibald White,
former New York stock broker, now
living in Cleveland, was the man Won
Bernstorff picked to conceal his con-
nection with Fairplay, Becker asserted.
Disclosures as to Won Bernstorffs
acquisition Of control of Fairplay came
in examination by Mr.. Becker of Mar
Gus Braun, former owner of the publ
cation. Braun is a native of Hungary
and has been a naturalized American
for 26years.
The Fairplay Printing & Publishing
company was formed with Nominal
capitalization of 100000, but Mr..
Becker said the actual sale of stock
was limited to $4,000 or $4,000,
which was paid for by Won Bernstorffs
checks.
Later the statement said, when it
vas disclosed thru papers that Won
Bernstorff had invested in "some"
Fairplay stock, Bernstorff arranged a

British Took Heavy Toll.
The ground in front OF the British
lines thruout this region is piled with
dead Germans for the British have not
hesitated to temporarily retire slightly
in the face of strong enemy attacks
when it appeared that their own
strength could thereby be conserved
and at the same time secure an oppor-
tunity to NOV down masses of Ger
mans. These tactics have had a most
disastrous result for the foe and that
the British have not lost anything is
shown by the fact that their casualties
continue extremely light while all po-
sitions are finally retained.
Counter Attack Near Peronnc.
At Mont st. Quentin the Germans
have counter attacked again and again
at great cost but the line there re-
mains intact.
The enemy seems to have removed
virtually everything he had in Pc
rome, for he realized the town surely
must come into British hands soon,
but rev.rtheless there was fighting
there before the place was captured:
Late yesterday the enemy delivered
powerful counter attacks east OF
Fremicourt on the Bapaume-Cambral
road, the infantry being assisted. &C
Germans succeeded in penetrating
short distance, but the British imme-
diately reattacked and the ground
which the Germans had occupied
quickly became a shambles.
In this operation the British cap
tured many prisoners. Among the
German dead at this point was bat
TALON commander. The British were
Also counter attacked at Vaulx-Vrav-
court, the Germans gaining a corner
in the northeast section of the village,
and holding 1t for a time only to be
driven off South of the Arras-Cam-
brai road the advance continues. Dur
ing the night it was held up by a
strong fire from a lone trench just
south of the road. The Germans ap-
peared determined to hold on here
and fought desperately Finally the
British kicked off, from their po-
sitions and charged the enemy. Dur
ing the fight that followed the British
either killed or captured every man of
the enemy garrison and in addition
Jagged fifteen machine guns. This
was accomplished with casualties so
light as to sound incredible. In fact.
the number was so small that it was
not made known. In the north the
Germans steadily continue their re-
treat.
In the Lys salient the British are
on the heels of the Germans. Beyond
yierstraat and Voormezeele the enemy
mas fallen back east of the Ypres-
Confines canal. The British have
reached Doulif and La Creche-Ravels-
burg ridge has been captured after
some opposition from the German rear
guard, who put up a fierce, tho brief
fight. Other advanced troops are on
the outskirts of Neuveeglise. Linden
houk and KENNEL villages have been
captured.
