 TO PRISON CAMPS, British Have Penetrated Outskirts of Lens the
 City in Flanders.
(By The Associated Press.)

From Flanders to Soissons the Brit ish, French and American forces are keeping up without cessation their strong offensive tactics against the Germans, who all along the battle front are still giving ground, altho at certain points with strong resist ance.
 Additional areas of territory which long had been held by the enemy have been restored; many thousands of Germans have been sent behind the lines to swell the great throng al- ready there in prison camps, and many of the enemy's dead lying upon the battlefield testify to his heavy casualties.
 Cut Into Pieces.
 Retreating columns of the Germans have been cut to pieces by the British artillery from captured vantage points before which the enemy was compelled to pass unsheltered from the fire of the British gunners. From the region around Arras southward to Peronne, the British line has moved forward everywhere since the famous i Drocourt-Queant defense line was overwhelmed and left in the rear. Eastward of the Drocourt line the
 British now are nearing the canal Du Nord and Douai, Valencinnes and Cambrai have been further encroach. ed upon by English, Canadian and Australian troops.
 Steadily Pushed Ahead. East of Peronne the British line
 has been steadily pushed forward Numerous towns and villages have fallen into the hands of Field Mar. shal Haig's men, among them Queant
 at the southern end of the Drocourt. Queant line.
 To the south the French along the Canal Du Nord, are giving the enemy no rest, taking the remaining portion on the salient north of Noyon while
 in Soissons sector the French and Americans now are in control of the entire plateau dominating the Aisne

TEXAS DELEGATES ], REFUSED SEATS IN
 STATE CONVENTION
Charges Fraud in Duval County Fiction Cause of
 Democrats Action.

Waco, Texas, Sept. Exchanges of fraud in the recent primaries in Du- val county which were alleged to have affected the result of teh senatorial contest in the twenty third district today caused the Democratic state convention to refuse to seat delegates from Duval county and recommend that votes it cast in the primary not be recorded.
 The Duval county vote was tabulat- ed by the executive and gave Archie Parr a majority of 118 votes for the state senate over D. w. Glasscock.
 It is likely Glasscock will make a fight for the senate to refuse to seat Parr and give him his seat.
 In Comal county where there were also charges of fraud, only one dele gate c. B. Crawford was seated.
 The committee completed it's per- manent organization today electing w. L, Dean, permanent chairman.
 The afternoon was devoted to a series by patriotic speeches while the convention waited for a report from the platform committee which was in session in a down town hotel.
 The committee was expecting the report at the session tonight and fin al adjournament tonight was pos sible.

 Expect Hard Fighting.
 There may be as hard fighting here at last year.

 The village of Etaing was report ed cleared up. Hamblain-Lez-Prez, on the extreme flank was taken and the troops moved eastward.
 Germans Are Desperate.
 But they did not go far as the Germans in desreration had damned the river Scarpe at Vitry-En-Artois and flooded the lowlands in this b. cality.
 Patrols entered Biache St. Vaast which soon was reported entirely cap tured.
 From this general locality on the north the British pushed sharply for 1 ward.
 Germans Admit Defeat. The first indication that the Ger mans admitted defeat was when the British troops entered Recount. They had been in the town only | few minutes when the enemy artillery began shelling it heavily from dis tance.
 The British drove down the Arras Cambrai road with ease today. On' force, according to word received at headquarters captured Inch-En- Artoi' another occupied and leaned up the en tire Buissy switch.

Adair and Shawkey
Both Win Contests

New York, July 5-Barney Adair
defeated Joe Mooney and Jack Shar-
key outpointed Harvey Crosby yester-
day afternoon in eight round bouts at
the Armory A. A. in Jersey City.
Adair inflicted severe punishment
on Mooney, a fellow lightweight from
Harlem, and had his man several
times on the verge of a knockout.
Mooney remained to the finish as a
result of clear grit.
Sharkey, a West Side bantam, out
pointed Crosby, Bayonne 118
FOUNDER. Crosby lost the bout because
he put up defensive fight all the
way, while Sharkey forced the fight
and did the leading.
In the Adair- Mooney bout Adair
carried the fight to his opponent from
the opening going to the last, and
while the redtop battler rallied at in
tervals still he was on the losing end
from start to finish.
Adair used a heavy left hook, to the
face with telling effect, bringing the
blood to MONEYS mouth and nose.
Adair then began to pump a destruct-
I've right to the body, which weakened
Mooney. The beaten man was help
less against the ropes in half a dozen
rounds, while Adair pelted him with
hard rights and lefts, but the recip-
lent of the punishment, though wab-
bling and shalxy, kept. his feet till the
welcome sound of the final gong sent
him to his corner
