BULLETIN.

London, July l7.-Bispatches ar
irving in London tonight say that
at only one point did the Germans
succeed in advancing today, and
then at enormous costs. The dis
patch asserts that at II o'clock this
morning after two unsuccessful at
.tempts, the Germans. on a front of
six miles, pushed into the French
lines to depth of one and half
miles at its deepest point, at Rheims
Mountain.
Although the Germans are
still attacking the allied lines
viciously on both sides of the
Rheims salient what gains they
are making continue to be
small on isolated sectors and
seemingly are confined to the
region along the Marne and
Immediately southwest of
Rheims.
Eastward from the Cathe-
dral city through Champagne
the French report they are
holding the enemy and keep
ing theirline intact.
Everywhere the battles are being
stubbornly contested and where the
French and Italians have been COM
PEELED to give ground it has been only
after the intiicting of extremely heavy
casualties on the invaders. The Ameri-
cans nowhere have been forced TO
withdraw At Fossoy near the bend
OF the Marne between Chateau Thier-
ry and Dormans, they have made
further improvements in their posi-
tions.
Strive to Eliminate Salient.
II becomes increasingly apparent
the German command is attempting
the blottlng out of the Rheims salient
and the Strengthening of the line east
ward through Champagne toward Ver-
dun. The hardest fighting of Tues
day was southwest of Rheims, where
the enemy is endeavoring to break
through the hill and forest region,
reach the railroad running from
Rheims to Epernay and force the
evacuation of Rheims.
In these endeavors, the German war
office asserts the Germans have driven
back the allied troops on the noun
tain of Rheims between Manteuil and
north of Pourcy, the last named place
being scant five miles distant from
the Rheims-E -Epernay railroad. The
French official communication admits
that the Germans hold the line west
of Manteuil-La Fosse, about a mile
and half south OF Pourcy and rela-
lively five miles west of railroad.
The German war office is now
claiming the capture of $4,000 prison
ers since the present offensive began.

NINE FATAL CASES OF
 SPANISH INFLUENZA

Five deaths in this town from pneu- monia following the Spanish infiuen- ga, two in Baltic and two in Mont vile have been recorded in the past twenty four hours.
 Physicians who commented upon this fatal termination of these in luenza cases said it should serve as a warning that the disease should not be trified with, but that medical ad- vice should be sought at the first ap- ptarance of the symptoms and tho sick person should take to hls bed, call a doctor and stay in bed till the doctor gave permission for the patient to get up again.
 If the precaution of calling a doctor is taken when the attack first comes on, fear of fatal consequtnces is re- duced to the minimum, but people should not think they can fight it off like an ordinary attack of the grip, for such a course is extremely likely to lead to serious consequencts.
