BOY SCOUTS RESTING ON THEIR
OARS

AS is usually the case the Mason
County Boy Scouts are resting on
their oars during the month of Au-
gust. The weather is too warm for
scout meetings and nothing definite
has been outlined for the boys to do
during this month. They expect to
get down to some real work as soon
as the most of the warm weather is
over, however and expect to have a
great part in the fourth Liberty Loan
coming on in the month of Septem-
Der.

AnglO-French Advance Is Proceeding
Just at the Most Desirable Place
\ Over 17,OOO Prisoners
Are Captured.

London, August = The Anglo
French advance is proceeding just at
the place most desirable from their
standpoint-in the center-and is con-
sidered by some military men as a
break through The Germans we're
able to save their winnings to some
extent by their Withdrawals on the
Ancre and the Avre, but their center
remained exposed and they were
taken by pieces. 1t is believed this
penetration into the German center
will before long exert an influence on
the enemy positions north to Albert
and south to Montdidier
r Thus far the news received in Lon
don tells only of events up to last
evening; but if the infantry has
caught up with the tanks, armored
cars and cavalry, the important june
ton of Chaulones should be threaten
ed, if not taken, which certainly would
make the evacuation of Montdidier me-
essary.
