Germans Surprised.

Although the German COM
mand must have been expecting
an attack on the Hindenburg
switch line, which the British
had closely approached in their
earlier advances, it apparently
was not expected at the moment.
The Germans seem to have been
surprised at the quickness with
which Haig's Canadians and 9TH
er British forces, after fighting
their way up to the line, organ
lied crushing attack against the
line itself. This morning alone,
on the twenty mile front where
the British are mainly engaged,
they are reported to have advanc-
ed no less than a maximum of
four miles. This seems to empha-
size the clearness of the break
and, with the large captures of
prisoners, points to the demoral-
ization of the German forces in
this area.
1t is too early to estimate with
any degree of accuracy what ef-
feet the present big drive of the
Allies may ultimately produce.
The fall of Douai and Cambria,
which now seems not improbable
in the near future, would put the
entire German line out of Joint
between the North sea and
Rheims, however, and would be
likely to force the evacuation OF
a great part of northern France
now occupied by the Germans.
Operations by the French and
Americans in the south may be
counted on to work toward such
a result, There is a hint in today's
dispatch that some development
of importance is impending on the
southern front, where the left
flank of the Hindenburg line is
under Franco-American pressure

Haig Takes More Towns.

London, Sept 3.-The capture Of
the town Of Queant. the southern sup
port of the famous German switch
line before Cambria and Douai, il
announced in an official statement
from Field Marshal Haig today.
In storming the Drocourt- Queant
line the Canadians assisted the Eng
lish troops and carried everything be-
fore them.
Along this line the enemy was
heavily defeated in his prepared de-
fenses and is retiring on virtually the
whole battle front.
The British forces are reported to
have entered the towns Of Pronville,
Doignies and Bertincourt,
The text Of the statement reads:
"Our operations carried out yester-
day south Of the river Scarpe were
completely successful. The enemy
was heavily defeated in his prepared
defenses Of the Drocourt-Queant sys-
tenn with the result that he is retiring
this morning along practically the
whole battle front"

have only been half dug. 1t is rum
ored.
The Germans, 1t seems to be ex-
pected, will offer determined resist
ance along this line as they now are
doing in front of it, and then retire
their lines at the canal in such an
embryo state, however, little protec-
ton will be afforded the enemy should
he be forced to take refuge behind
them.
On the northern half Of the Dro-
court-Queant battlefront there were
some 5000 prisoners in the cages last
taken to the hospitals wounded, while
probably more than 1000 additional
captures have been effected on the
southern half of the front.
In one place along the-line of battle
eight German divisions-or rather
four comparatively fresh divisions
and the remnants Of four other di-
visions-were fighting against three
British divisions. An officer from one
of these enemy divisions, which was
the Second guards reserve, said, how
ever that his division had been in the
fighting for more than a week and
that its electives would number less
than thousand men. In his bat
talon only himself and "a OF his men
had survived, he declared. He added
that the German losses had been
heavier than any they, had previously
suffered.
Beugny Reached.
In their push northeastward along
the Bapaume-Cambrai road the Brit
ish have reached Beugny (unof'cial
advices from London this morning
reported the British in today's ad-
vance to have pushed some 3 1-2
miles beyond this point). The town
OF Villers-Au-Flos, south Of Bapaume.
was in British hands early last eve-
ming after severe fighting. After tax
on across the Bapaume-Peronne5 road
and in the fighting Just to the north
were well on their way toward
Rocquigny. The Germans were in
heaYx force in the region q NoEsuti
and hard fighting In progress
there.
There is every sign that the enemy
is hurrytng his retirement on this part
of the British front to get behind
what is left Of his defensive line. This
line of defense he expected to taketup
behind the Canal Du Nord is not con-
sidered very strong and is too near
Douai and Cambria to be comfortable
to the enemy.
The determined German resistance
at the cross roads north Of Villers-
Lez- -Cagnicourt was overcome by. the
British this morning and Haig's men
are now showing forward in the direc-
ton Of Cambria.
A strong British force is driving
| forward on the northern reaches Of
the Hindenburg line. The British are
| we'll inside the Drocourt-Queant line.
So far as learned, no organized
| counter attacks have been developed
! by the Germans, but on the extreme
British left determined opposition is
developing.
British troops today advanced we'll
to the east of Peronne and are making
steady progress.
The British today pushed forward
| well to the east OF Noreuil and the
Australians made steady progress to
the east Of Peronne.

WORKERS ON
TIDE FLATS
COUNTED UP

To help arrive at a solution of
the street car problem on the tide
flats, II. Roy Harrison, commits
sioner of public works, was out
Wednesday gathering important
data.
According to Harrison's figures
there are 1896 men on the pay
rolls of the shipyards, mills and
other works east of 18th street on
the tideflats. The figures were
from the payrolls of the various
concerns.
This, however, does not include
the men on the payrolls at the
Milwaukee shops, the Buffelin
mill. the Dolges mill or the Gyp-
sum plant, which probably would
increase this figure by at least
another 5000, as the railroad
shops alone are known to employ
| 500 men. That the growth of
business has been phenomenal in
that section of the city is evil
denced in the case Of one small
brass foundry, the proprietor of
which told Mr.. Harrison that his
business year ago amounted to
500 a month, while last month
showed that he had done $4,000
worth of business!

SURE WAY TO GET
RID OF DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that
never fails to remove dandruff
completely, AND that is to dis
solve 1t. This destroys 1t en-
tirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces OF plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most If not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of 1t, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too. that all Itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel q hun.
dred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t Is inexpensive, and
four ounces Is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never
been known to fail. adv.

FOR
MURDERER

SEATTLE, May I6.-Deputy
sheriffs from Seattle and Everett,
assisted by the police of both
cities, are still beating the brush
to-day in the vicinity of Camp No.
2, of the Admiralty Logging Co.
near Edmonds, for the masked
bandit who shot and killed one
Of a logging crew Of Is late last
night.
Up to a late hour today, no
trace of the bandit had been
found. Bloodhounds from the
sheriff's office in Seattle were
put on the bandits trail this
morning.
The bandit entered the reading
room of the logging camp late last
night, lined up the / 5 men against
the wall and had one victim
search the rest When one man
in the line reached for a chair,
the bandit fired.
The logger dropped dead He
was a newcomer at the camp aad

is a great supply and practically
no demand. Naturally, he sells
his bonds at somewhat of a sac
rifice.
The very nature of campaign
by the government to sell it's own
bonds, such as has just closed,
was designed to sell as many
bonds as possible to as many peo-
pie as possible.
AS result of the strenuous
operations Of committees all over
the country, the bonds were mar
keted to a point of saturation.
Advertising, selling-in fact.
all activities in behalf of the loan
suddenly ceased May 4. The
consequence is that the bonds
themselves are placed upon their
own feet. They must now oper-
ate under the law of supply and
demand. The demand is natural
ly now at the minimum.
The bonds were sold by the
government with the expectation
that purchasers would hold them
as investments, unless extraordi-
nary circumstances forced them to
sell
The citizen who does hold his
bonds until we have won the war
will, SO far as any human being
can foresee, find them selling
ABOVE PAR, just as government
bonds have sold we'll above par in
the past.
In proportion to the total
amount of bonds sold, the number
traded in in the market at this
time is negligible.
And the circumstance that the
market quotation on these bonds
is below par at this time has no
material bearing on the funda-
mental fact that United States
Liberty Bonds are indeed the
SAFEST AND BEST INVEST
MENTS IN THE WORLD To-
DAY.

This probably will be directed
against a supposed weak point in

Despite the fact it is estimated
that the Germans have lost half
a million men since March 81, it
is known positively they still
have another half a million in
reserve depots, with which they
can fill up their fresh losses, thus
rendering possible a duplication
of their offensive effort.

NEW WOOD
SHIPS TO
BE BUILT

Especial to The Times.)
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May
16.-WOoden shipbuilding on
the Pacific coast received
new impetus today, when
Chairman Hurley, of the ship
ping board, announced that
limitations on the construc-
ton of wooden ship have been
lifted.
1t has been found that the con-
struction of wooden ships does
not seriously interfere with the
steel ship program. According
ly the building Of wooden ships IS
not to cease with the completion
of the vessels now under construc.
ton, or authorized. but is to con-
tinue Indefinitely:
THAT is" explained Chairman
Hurley to this newspaper, when
yard is within a few months IF
the completion of it's contract Il
the construction Of wooden ships,
and its.work has been satisfactory
1t will be given another cohtrac'
this time for ships of the 4,700-
ton type.
No Ways to Stay Idle.
THE purpose Is to permit no
wooden shipyards to remain idle.
However, it must be understood
that no contracts will lie given 20
new wooden shipyards. We pur-
pose to keep the old ones going,
but that is ALL"
Mr.. Hurley said that this no.
determination means specifically
that in addition to the 200 new
4,700-ton wooden ships recently
announced to be let, at least 200
more will be built.
What are you going to do with
all these wooden ships when you
get them?" Hurley was asked.
Use them in the coastwise
trade principally" he said. I'VE
are going to get many OF them
around from the Pacific to tel A..

as fast as we cam"

TELLS WHY BONDS
SELL AT UNDER PAR

Mr.. Liberty Bond Buyer,
you probably read this story
in the papers the other day:
NEW YORK - Third
Liberty Loan Bonds appeared
on the open market for the
first time today. Sales ST.
SAP, 900. They opened at
$99.10; low was S9S.60."
Now what you wondered
was: "Why such depreciation
just after we cease proclaim
ing that these bonds are the
most reliable investment ON
carth?"
That's easily explained.
But first GET THIS - those
bonds ARE the most reliable
investment on earth and
those sales on the New York
market do NOT mean that
your bond is worth less than
the 800 you paid for it.
The following statement
by a man who has been in
the bond business for more .

why they sometimes sell un-
