DEATH OF MRS. EMMA MANNHEIM
Early Day Resident Of Eureka Passes
Away 1t Los Angeles, California

Away at Los Angeles, California
The death of Mrs. Emma Mannheim,
which occurred at IL p. m. IN April
% at the home of her daughter. Mrs.
Hank Knight. 1901 San Marine street.
Los Angeles. California. brought to a
close a long and interesting career.
Born in Frienwaldie. Germany, II
years ago, Mrs. Mannheim came to
California in her early womanhood,
settling in Arcata. Humboldt County,
where she lived for a number of
years. Always a close observer of
people and events she was intimately
acquainted with men and women
who were destined to become makers
of CALIFORNIA; history, but with
characteristic modesty she seldom
revealed the fact.
Shortly after her marriage Mrs.
Mannheim removed to White Pine,
Nevada, going thence to Eureka.
where she resided for more than 30
years, and was an eyewitness of
many stirring events in the territor-
ial days of the State. A wide circle
of friends in Eureka and Tonopah
will be grieved to learn of the pass
ing of this noble woman.
Early left a widow. Mrs. Mannheim
bore the many trials and sorrows of
her life with a most sweet and un-
complaining fortitude, sustained by
an unfaltering faith in prayer and in
the goodness of God. and few women
were blessed with more courageous
heart or a SUMMER disposition.
For the past 10 years Mrs. Man.
helm made her home in Los Angeles.
California, where her many lovable
traits endeared her to a host of
friends. She is survived by two
daughters. Mrs. Hank Knight. and
Miss Alma Mannheim, OF Los Angeles;
two grand children. Mrs. E. Gordon
Burrow. of Goldfield, Nevada. and
Mr.. Wallace Knight. of Los Angeles;

PROGRESS OF THE WAR


General Sixt Won Arnim's plans
went woefully awry at Ypres just
when he expected to reap the reward
of his turning movement against that
stronghold. He had pierced the al
lied lines south of Ypres on a front
of twenty miles and had swung into
the region southwest of the town.
He had captured the strongest hills
defending the city on the south and
southwest, notably Messines ridge
and Mount KENNEL, and had pushed
the British back to Voormezeele. two
miles south of the city, and had taken
from the French reinforcing army
ground beyond Mount KENNEL. in
Guiding the village of Locre, near the
foot of the Scherpenberg hill.
Before these operations were COM
pleted the British had been forced
to draw in their lines east and north
east of Ypres without much fighting
for they saw the necessity of getting
their lines back far enough. so that
in case the enemy broke through to
the southwest the northern British
flank could be saved. The Belgians
on this flank also fell back somewhat
to keep themselves In proper align
lnent with their Allies. Finally, the
British and Belgians drew up their
lines beyond the Steenbeek river.
Now was the opportune moment
for General o Arnim to begin a
general attack, with the object of
compelling the Allies to retreat from
Ypres itself and all the neighboring
line. But it was just at this mo-
ment that the Allies decided to make
their most ~resolute stand. Before the
big assault came the British and
French had constantly reacted
against the enemy at Voormezeele
and Locre. The latter village changed
hands five times, and at Voormezeele
the British repulsed the enemy and
took several hundred prisoners.
On Monday, Won Arnim launched
his main assault along a front of 10
miles, from Meteren on the south
west to a point east of Ypres. Regi-
ment after regiment and division af-
ter division was thrown into the bat
tie all day. but at nightfall the Ger
man general had little to show for
his heavy losses. His men had adj
vanced through Lecre and had
pressed up the slopes of the Scher-
penberg, but counter-attacks drove
them back from point to point.
Meantime, the British had held their
lines intact near Ypres and had
caused the enemy the severest loss
es.
On the following day, the British
and French, rightly judging that the
enemy had suffered one of the worst
reverses of his offensive, decided TO
counter-attack powerfully. The Brit
ish advanced slightly. while the
French made a deep indentation into
the enemy's line. retaking the en-
tire village of Locre.
On the Amiens front severe fight
ing had been recorded from day to
day. It will be recalled that the
British recaptured Villers-Breton-
neux and that the French retook
Hangard and part of Hangard wood.
Most of the fighting was In this reg
ion. The Germans and their enemies
attacked and counter-a attacked

brought up in such great numbers,

visions negotiated the assault in this
section, but they met with strenuous
resistance British machine gunners
did terrible execution as the Germans
moved forward.
AS on Thursday the Germans to-day
depended on tremendous artillery bonn
bardments and massed attacks with
great numbers of troops to achieve re-
suits. AT least forty German divisions
have been identified and the German
artillery concentration is the greatest
that has been seen on the West
1t is reported that in one section the
Germans came across No Mans Land IN
regular formation and gaps in the
ranks were quickly filled in to present
a solid front. The Germans are said to
have stopped when they reached the
barbed wire and to have cut it by hand
under a heavy fire. from the rifles, ma
chine guns and artillery However. the
report is not verified, but it is certain
that the Germans advanced IN more
dense formations than ever before and
naturally suffered grievous casualties.
Six German divisions Thursday deliv-
cred a very heavy attack against the
British south of st. Quentin. Despite
the fact that the enemy had a supe-
riorty in numbers, the British hung
doggedly to their posts through out the
day, and it was only after the Germans
had stopped the assault that the British
withdrew their lines somewhat in order
to give them protection by means of
the Disc River and the flooded ground
around it.

The statement reads:
Enemy aircraft crossed our lines

the region of Paris.
"An alarm was given in Paris at
