Honorable Daniel Brown,

Ny Dear Sir:
I have been informed the city council
Of Hammond are seriously considering
the advisability of disseminating the
city department of weights and meas
ures and food.
At this particular time it would be a
great hardship on the people Of Ham
mond in that the prices of all food
stuffs have all advanced 50 much that
the loss of an ounce a. this time means
considerable money to your people. The
fact that Chicago is so close to Ham
mond permits peddlers to come from
thar city and sell their goods in Ham
mond and without the protection of an
inspector Of weights and measures in
your city. robbing would be enormous.
II the disseminating of the department
IS being done from an economical stand
point. l would suggest rather than to
discontinue the weights and measures
department that the dismissal Of two
policemen would not be felt 50 much
as the disseminating of the wei fghts and
measures department
I hope the city Of Hammond will not
take a backward step and will see their
way clear to continue their weights and
measures department
Very truly yours.

NEW YORK, July 16.-The new
German drive-the fifth phase of
the enemy's west front offensive

Starting at daybreak yesterday
the German advance was stopped

assumed the initiative. pushing
them back by counter attacks.

this morning had not resumed their at
tacks. 4 composite report of yester-
days fighting shows the following:
The Americans holding the allied left
wing threw the Germans back across
the Marne after the enemy had advanc-
ed about three miles south Of the river.
Between 1000 and 1900 Germans were
captured including one entire brigade.
FRENCH STOP SECONDARY ATTACK.
Farther to the left a minor German
attack was repulsed.
A secondary operation in the Ourcq
region was stopped by French artillery
fire.
on the right wing American units
broke UP wave after wave OF German
infantry and refused to yield an inch OF
territory
Along the Marine to the right Of the
Americans on front of about eight
miles the Germans evidently progressed
as far as St. Agnan and four miles south
Of the river and still maintain g large
portion Of their gain.
ADVANCE ON DEPTH or MILES.
Between the Marne and Rheims the
enemy advanced an average depth OF
three miles penetrating the villages OF
BelvaI and Pourcy.
East OF Rheims the Germans pro-
gressed on two sectors.
The only phase of the German attack
that can be regarded as having ac-
compIished any victory or success IS the
progress of the 'nut-cra cker' at Rheims.
The advance to the east and west OF the
city now places Rheims at the tip OK

eight miles deep.
