morrow From the Wagons.

Having been compelled to cease
Sunday operations because of the in
tervention Of the Commemorative At
torney, who waved the indictment flag
at those engaged in this business,
there was great inconvenience in this
community last Sunday, and it was
wholly among the poorer classes of
people, who cannot afford the luxury
of a refrigerator. A conference with
the proper arm of the law has elimi-
mated the trouble, and tomorrow and
every Sunday during the hot term
the wagons will make their regular
ice deliveries, which is sensible
thing and work of absolute neces-
sity.

 Ram Chandra was editor of Hin dustan Chadra (Revolution).
 The shooting was result of feud between rival factions of the Hindu defendants, federal authorities said, and the dislike that existed between Ram Chandra and Ram Singh had been heightened by a controversy over a parcel of land in Canada owned by Singh

 The London war office statement follows:
 'The hostile artillery activity in- creased yesterday afternoon and evening on the greater part of the British front, particularly in the Somme and Ancre region, in the val ley of the Scarpe and in the sectors north of Bethune and north-northeast of BailleuL
 At dusk hostile infantry left their trenches to attack northwest of AL bert, but met with heavy rifle and ma chine gun fire and were driven back.
 Strong hostile attacks developed also late in the evening in the neigh borhood of Dranoutre and were re- pulsed by French troops after sharp fighting. French and British artillery inflicted severe loss on the enemy.
 During the night the activity of the enemy's artillery continued, and at an early hour this morning a heavy bombardment was opened along practically the whole British front from north of Albert to our junction with the French south of the Somme. Strong infantry attacks are reported in progress in the Albert sector and between the Somme and south of the Somme.

 The French soldiers who joined in the fight declare the Americans dis played a splendid spirit of combat. They relate that north of Seicheprey an American detachment was separat- ed into small groups and was cut of from the company to which it be- 1onged throughout the entire fight.
 Behind the Americans and on their left flank were German units, but they could have retired on the right. How ever, they decided to stick, and fight, which they did with wonderful valor, notwithstanding the incessant enemy bombardment and rifle fire. Numer- ous hand to hand combats were fought in the course of this long struggle, from which the Americans found them selves obliged to retire toward night fall, but only after destroying their machine guns.
 In Seicheprey a squad of Americans found several cases of grenades with which they succeeded in putting up a terrific fight and holding out the en- l tire day on the northern extremity of the village. They refused to surren- der when challenged and at the end of the fighting only nine out of the original 2S were left. A cook, sur prised by the Germans and half stun ned by a blow from a grenade, seiz- ed a rifle and continued firing until he fell dead.
 | Toward evening a hospital which had been established in Seicheprey was blown up along with the doctors and ambulance men. The chief sur. geon of the American regiment en. gagged hurried to the spot with French and American ambulance cars as soor as he learned of the occurrence.

 What apparently was intended as a. surprise blow, without notable ar tillery preparation, was launched By the Germans at dusk last evening northwest of Albert The British were on the alert, however, and met the advance with a hail of rifle and machine gun fire, driving back the enemy.
 Meanwhile the enemy has maintain ed sufficient pressure in the Flanders areas to keep the Ang1o-French forces we'll occupied there. Not only has the artillery bombardment been heavy in many sectors, but last night there was strong hostile attack on the northerly side of the Lys salient, near Dranoutre close to Mount Kennel. The French were guarding this re- zion and they repulsed the assault after sharp fighting, their artillery cooperating with the British guns in severely punishing the enemy.
