What is surely true is that the four

tenay and king-sat up all night in a
room in the fort, talking together.
while a succession of sentries over
strained their ears endeavoring to hear
through keyholes. And the sentries
heard nothing and invented very much.
But Partan Singh the Sikh, who
carried in bread and cocoa to them at
about five the next morning. and
found them still talking, heard King

A great slice of Khinjan suddenly
caved in with roar, and smoke and

the waiting elements were gathering
strength. For ten minutes they watched

anything but stand and tremble And
King was too enthralled to do anything

the explosion and had found a new way

The one sky-fiung leap II made as its

He laughed again and sprang on the

speak or raise a hand to stop him he
was off at wondrOus speed along the

Der pass and India. Two of the men
who had come out OF Khinjan mounted

Silver One Dollar Per Ounce

The bill introduced recently by
Senator Pittman as an emergency
war measure and passed in the Senate
last week without roll call, will vir-
tually fix the price of silver at one
dollar an ounce and encourage the
production of the white metal to a
very great degree.
The measure provides that the
270, 600, 900 silver dollars now in the
Treasury be remelted and sold to
settle the trade balances with China
and India, and their place taken by
silver certificates which will be re-
tired by the purchase of the country's
output of silver at $1.0O an ounce.
1t would make possible the use OF
the silver which is now serving nc
active purpose. Nevada is particu'
larly interested in the fate of the
measure.

Meteren line met with failure.

The Germans now decided to inn
prove their left flank along the line
Givenchy-F estubert- Robecq. This
line had given way but little in the
week of fighting. In fact, the Ger
mans had often been hurled back
only to advance a few hundred yards.
They took LOGON. between Festubert
and Robecq. and tried to enter the
latter village. but we're held back.
1t was on Thursday that they deliv-
cred a tremendous assault along this
whole line. 1t took them through
Robecq, but to the southeast the
British line held fast. Employing
more than 10000 men. the Huns
swept forward in wave after wave.
They were cut down again and again.
and the battle ended with the British
in about the same positions they had
occupied when it began. On Friday
there came a lull along the whole
battle line while the Germans pre-
pared for new assaults. The British,
in the Givenchy region. took advan-
tage of the enemy's temporary pa
ralysis, to counter-attack. They
swept forward over the zone which
the enemy had taken from them and
regained their old trenches.
The week ended with the enemy
still denied the goals he had sought,
the base at Ypres. the big railroad
town of Hazebrouck and the import
ant base of Bethune, near Givenchy.
1t is not likely that the Allies will re-
main on the offensive in this region,
for further retirement would be ia
tai. Continued attacks and counter
attacks on a large scale may belooked
for.

man offensive subsidized, the French

PROGRESS OF THE WAR



In the battle of the Lys river, from
Ypres south to Givenchy. the Ger
mans have driven the apex of their
salient % a depth of about IA miles.
This depth has been attained only on
a front of three of four miles. From
the apex the lines sweep sharply to
the northeast and southeast.
The most rapid advances were
made in the first five days of the bat
tie. but perhaps the fiercest fighting
has occurred since then. In the last
week the Germans have carried the
most important ~strategical points,
but the advance has not covered
much territory.
At the close of last week the Ger
mans had reached strong positions on
Messines ridge and southwestward.
They took Neuve Eglise by a flank
movement around the southern edge
of the ridge, but were driven out by
a counter-attack. Meantime their
line had approached the railroad town
of Bailleul. around which fierce fight
ing went on for three days.
Evidently the British had decided
that when the enemy should take
Bailleul they would withdraw their
lines in the salient east of Ypres. for
the capture of Bailleul would be a
sign that the enemy was about strong
enough to turn the British out of
Ypres. Therefore, the British re-
tired from Passchendaele and LANCE
marck, which were won with much
blood last year. This brought their
line back to about the line from
which they started a year ago north
east of Ypres, but to the southeast.
near Gheluvelt. the retirement was
not considerable.
The Germans did not take all of
Messines ridge, nor enter Bailleul
until Tuesday. after three days of
furious battling. At Neuve Eglise
the tide of battle swayed back and
forth for several days. After the
Huns had seized it and been elected.
they returned to the attack seven
times before gaining their final tri-
umph. This put them in a most ia
vorable position to storm Messines
ridge and take Wytschaete and Wul-
verghem. In a most determined at
tack on Tuesday they carried the en-
tire line from these towns. which
gave them Messines ridge, south
westward to Bailleul, which they also
took. Their losses were immense,
for the fighting was of the severest
character. Near Bailleul the town
of Meteren also vas captured.
Thus the Huns had taken some of
the principal strongholds guarding
the Ypres salient on the south. Their
attempts to advance further were
frustrated. The British, aided by
the French, began a counter-offensive
which took them back into Meteren
and up the slopes of Messines ridge.
The blow was not sustained enough
to hold back the enemy hordes, and
the Allies retired a little, reforming
their lines from Mount KENNEL, near
Messines ridge to a point southwest
of Meteren.
Meantime. at the apex of the sail
ent, the Germans had been battling
their way forward a little despite
many setbacks. They had captured
Neuf Berquin early in the drive. and
they pressed on last week to Vieuz
Berquin. Their right flank was now
in a strong position, and they at.
tempted to get into Ypres by further
attacks. A furious assault just
south of Ypres. on the high ground,
was sanguinarily repulsed. and at.
tempts to press beyond the Bailleul-
