HARD FIGHTING SOUTH
 OF RIVER OURGO
Americans Retake Epieds, which They Lost to the Germans on Tuesday-Huns Cling to the Marne.

On the French Front in France. July 24.-The fighting today was ex- tremely severe southward of the Ourcq, where the Americans took Epieds, which they lost yesterday, and advanced, together with the French at least three kilometers, threatening Fere en Tardenois, which is under constant bombardment.
 Around about Armentieres the Ger mans had massed hundreds of machine guns which caused some trouble but could not stay the advance of the 1 allied troops. The Tournelles wood was reached, Brecy fell and the Franco-Americans obtained a footing in the Le>Fere wood.
 Everywhere the enemy resistance avs most determined, especially along the Marne where they still hold some points along the hanks of the river, probably hoping, by keeping posses sion of them as long as possible, to save some of their immense stores of ammunition and other war materials which had been assembled with view i to making great advance south of | the Marne.
 ! Southwest of Rheims the British and French have been fighting the Germans necessarily for five days. The Germans are doing their utmost in this vicinity to protect the pivot on which their armies are retreating northward. All their efforts, however. have not prevented the allied troops from going forward and during the last two days hundreds of prisoners from enemy shock divisions have been taken, while several German points established in the small woods have succumbed to allied attacks.
 Paris, July 24-Highly important gains by the French and American forces on the Aisne- Marne front are reported in the official statement of i the war office tonight. In the center of the line an advance of nearly two , miles was made. Desperate engage ments were fought in the direction Of Epieds and Trugny- Epieds, which villages the Americans again recap tured from the Germans. To the north of Epieds, the Franco-Americau line is now beyond Courpoil.

London. July 24.-From three to eight submarines are said to have been concerned in the attack on the Justicia, according to the Daily Mail, which says the fight began at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon and lasted intermittently until Saturday morn ing. The ship sank about o'clock in the afternoon after nine torpedoes had been fired.
 When the liner was first struck the torpedo boat destroyers which accom- panied her raced to attack the enemy and dropped many depth charges, while patrol boats stood by the ship and a tug took her in tow.
 The second and third torpedoes were fired about five o'clock in the afternoon. Both missed their marks one going ahead of the steamer and the other aft. Two hours later an other torpedo was seen coming, but when it got close gunner on the Justicia with extraordinary aim, hit it clean and exploded it.
 All was quiet until 8 o'clock in the evening when the fifth torpedo was sighted. The gunners on the Justicia placed their shots so near it that the torpedo was defiected and missed it's target.
 Most of the crew by this time had been transferred to other ships which had remained near the liner all night.

TELL Of ATTEMPTS
TO GET MORE RENT
Apartment House Tenants
Report Threat Is to Cur
tail Accommodations.

Further evidence that certain apart
ment house owners are attempting
to induce tenants to sign new leases
In October at higher rentals, despite
the fact that the Salisbury law con-
tinues all leases until the end OF the
war. was brought to light today.
According to information obtained
today, some apartment house land
lords are seeking to get around the
Salisbury law by notifying tenants
that increased cost of elevator serv-
ice, hot water and other comforts
threatens to make curtailment OF
these accommodations necessary.
Suggests They Get Together.
This announcement. 1T is said. is ac-
companied by a suggestion that the
landlord and tenant get together and
endeavor to agree on a fair increase
in rent which would meet the cost
of operating and thereby remove the
necessity of curtailing service.
Edwin S. Hege, manager of the
room registration office and secretary
of the District council of defense. al
ready has received complaints from
apartment house occupants who were
threatened with curtailment of service
unless more rent was forthcoming.
Mr.. Hege advised the complainants
to examine carefully their leases or
rental agreements, and see IL the land
lord would not be violating his part
of the agreement by curtailing serv-
ice or charging extra for such ac-
commodations as the use Of elevators
and hot water.

Contributions made by residents Of
Custer and vicinity to the National War
Work Fund of the Army Y. u. C. A.
which has now reached $60,OO0OO0, are
already paying big dividends in the
lives of boys who have gone from this
city and county to receive their military
training at Camp Dodge, and other
military points in the west. According
to sdviCes reaching here this week, the
Y. M. G. A. huts in the big cantonments
never have been 80 popular as during
the recent cold weather when thousands
of enlisted men were driven inside the
buildings for their amusements, games
and letter writing. The CHEEKY open
fireplace, the Photographs and Pianos,
books and magazines form happy COM
bination that spells .home" to the boys
away from home.
Many families in this community have
received letters from the boys written
on Y. NJ. c. A. or Red Triangle station
cry which is issued without cost to every
man in uniform. At Camp Dodge re-
Gently a total of 2O3,075 letters were
mailed by the Y. NJ. c. A. in single
month, all of them having been written
at the benches in the Y. NJ. G. A. huts.
Y. NJ. c. A. accommodations have
been provided already in more than $50

time there are more than 1900 Ameri-

When the American troops took over
their section of the French fighting front
there were eight Y. M. G. A. dugouts
waiting for their exclusive use. These
provided chocolate, sweets of all kinds,
biscuits and knicknacks. The last thing
the American Troops will get before
