become a fine art, and the wizard of

Washington, Aug. 3l.-Action Of
President Wilson in writing letter
opposing the net investment clause of
the water-power bill was criticised to-
day by Representative Gillette Of
Massachusetts, acting minority lead

Referring to the presidents letter,
Mr.. Gillette said that Chairman Sims

no legislation without first obtain
ing the views of the president" Rep

Chairman Sims told the house that
he had introduced the bill on the sup
position that it met with executive
approval. An amendment introduced
by Representative Doremus of Michi-
gan, requiring the federal WATERFOWL
er commission which the bill estab
fishes . give municipalities prior
rights to the requirements of develop
nent licenses, was approved by the
house.

the University of Texas and an avia-

Gus recommendation for the Victoria

of honor for an exploit in which he
figured on July %.
On that day, over the British front,
Lieutenant Chamberlain took part i'll
an aerial battle with II German ma
chimes. He destroyed Ave OF them,
damaged two others and, sweeping
earthward with damaged plane,
scattered a detachment of German
soldiers.
After the landing, he bluffed three
others into believing his compass
was a bomb and captured one OF
them. He then carried wounded

lieutenant Chamberlain appeared
at a British aviation camp July u
and informed the major in command
that he had personal, but not Off
cial, permission to visit the camp.
This is borne out by the young mans
superior, who says that Lieutenant
Chamberlain had asked to be per.
mitted to 60 up near the front during
a furlough. because he desired to get
some more experience before resum-
ing his work.
The next day came Lieutenant
Chamberlain's wonderful exploit. He
was one Of a detachment of 50
aviators who went over the battlefield
through which the Germans were be-
ing driven by the allies. As the 50
machines circled above the fleeing
Teutons, they were attacked by an
equal number of German machines.
1t was hurricane battle and almost
at the inception of. the combat the
British lost three planes. In the
tempest of machine gun bullets that
roared about his machine. Lieutenant
Chamberlain's engine was damaged.
One of his machine guns became
jammed, and he seemed to be out OF

he remained to offer assistance to

With the American army on the
Ne3le Front, Aug. 31.-The Ameri-
cans early Saturday gave the Ger
mans in Fismette and its vicinity the
heaviest dose of mustard gas sent
over since the Americans and Ger
mans took foothold along the Vesle
and observers after daylight reported
that Germans individually and in
small groups we're leaving the low
lands where the gas fumes clung.
The Germans answered with mus
tard gas, firing about thousand
shells before calming to the usual
arti lery firing. There was no in-
fantry action.
The Americans made slight ad-
vance in their ine-straightening pro-
cess east of Bazoches early today,
the Germans not learning OF the
maneuver until it was nearly COM
pleted.
The enemy started barrage and
with machine guns endeavored to
drive out the Americans, who dug in
before daylight and held a position
north Of the Vesle along the rail
road. Later the Germans turned
their artillery on the Americans, but
did not use their infantry at this
place.

REDS BEATEN BY
JAPANESE army
AT USSURI RIVER
Offensive Taken by the Allied
Force August "a and Enc
my Driven North After
Severe Fighting.

Toxic, Sunday, Aug. 25.-Entente
allied forces on the Ussuri front i'll
Siberia took the offensive against the
bolsheviki Red Guard at dawn on
August "a, and drove the enemy to
the north, according to an allied Off
cial statement issued today by the
Japanese war office. The allies, fol-
lowing up their advantage, pushed
forward to the high ground north OF
Shimakofka and launched another at
tack against the enemy positions, The
text Of the statement reads:
On August p the enemy still re-
mained on our front. His airplane
was observed in the afternoon. Other
wise there was no change. The enc
my's strength was about 5000 in
fantry. The field guns actually OBJ
served numbered ID and he also had
some other heavy guns.
"On August Is our right wing, now
guarded by the japanese, was twice
attacked by the enemy numbering
1000, with field pieces and machine
guns. The enemy was completely re-
pulsed.
In the evening the left wing also
was attacked by 1000 enemy infan-
try with six machine guns. The
Czecho-Slovaks stubbornly resisted,
but were obliged to retreat. The
Twelfth infantry division arriving
there covered the retreat of the
Czecho-Slovaks and repulsed the
enemy.
The Twelfth division, gradually
concentrating in the direction Of
Suiyagina, assumed the offensive at
dawn on August "a. After severe
fighting the enemy was driven to the
northward. We then advanced to
the bluff north of Shimakofka and are
now attacking.
Our booty includes one field piece,
three machine guns and two armed
locomotives. The casualties on both
sides are unknown"

Fred Mcconnell, 1914 Park avenue,

avenue, Council Bluffs, who were re-
ported missing in action some time
ago, are prisoners of war at Lang

News that these we'll known young

was received last night in a War de-
partment announcement which con-
tanned the names of l30 enlisted men
identified at that prison camp.
Both Mcconnell and Wolfe were
reported missing in action several
weeks ago. Wolfe was first reported
missing nearly two months ago, Nc
Connell less than a month age.
1t was presumed at the time they
were reported missing that these well
known young men were prisoners.

AUSTRALIANS
MOP UP MONT
ST. QUENTIN
Daring Feat Puts Peronne in
PreCarious Position; Brit
ish Make Gains in
Bethune Region.
BY Associated Press.

With the British Army in France
Aug. 3l.-With Mont St. Quentin ii
British possession the Germans art
in precarious position. Peronne mus,
be evacuated or the enemy may lose
many more men.
Starting from east of Clery this
morning, the Australians fought for
ward despite the heavy machine gun
fire and swarmed into Feuillaucourt,
capturing 200.
Another body Of Australians, unaid-
ed by artillery, attacked Mont ST.
Quentin. The Germans had no idea
that the Australians would dare at
tempt such feat. BY s o'clock the
Australians had fought their way to
the top and soon after that signalled
its capture.
Mont St. Quentin was alive with
Germans, who came from every
where, crying "kamerad."
Those who did not were driven
from their retreats or killed. Hun
dreds of prisoners were captured.
Move Made Quickly.
While the hill was being mopped
up, British guns cut loose and began
pounding torrent of steel back of
Mont st. Quentin, as reminder to
the Germans that they had better
start moving quickly. The Aus
tralians must have worked with great
swiftness to make so much progress
in SO short time.
At various points between KENNEL
and Bethune the Germans have been
retiring and the British have gained
back very considerable amount of
ground.
Several counter attacks delivered
during the day east of Bapaume
astride the road to Cambria literally
withered away during the fire of the
British machine guns. The road to
Cambria and the ground on either
side for some distance was dotted
with the bodies of Germans who
dashed against the British in useless
attempts to drive them from the posi-
tions they had captured.
About the same time the Germans
were being beaten here, the Canadians
launched fresh attack just south
of the Arras- Cambria road and drove
into the enemy lines for some dis
tance, Heavy fighting is reported
to be still in progress between the
Arras-Cambrai and the, Bapaume-
Cambria roads.
Menace Drocourt-Q -Queant Line.
British troops have come close up
to the Drocourt- -Queant line and are
holding on while the boche is trying
to dislodge them. Counter attacks
have been launched here and the bat
tie has been raging constantly. Mel
ther side gives the other a chance to
get the slightest rest, and on the
instant German counter attacks are
beaten off, the British re-attack and
gain little more ground. If the Brit
ish fall back slightly before powerful
boche strokes, as soon as they have
quieted down little, the British at
tack again and hurl the Germans out.
not only gaining ground, but ilnprov-
ing their positions.
The Germans have fought we'll in
this locality, but have gained nothing
and have suffered enormous casual
ties.
1t is noted In the fighting here the
enemy seems to have abandoned the
rifle and is doing nearly all his fight
ing with light and heavy machine
guns.
Bullecourt is being mopped up.
South of Bapaume the British have
captured Riencourt-les-Bapaume.
