(Port Angeles News. ]

Of course this was rhetorical exravaganza indicative of the willingness of our people offer and all on the altar of their country. And what the facts in the In year half three million men have left their homes, their avocations their desk ana counters their blows and anvs have learned mil itary tactics and discipline, handle a gun with the trained soldiers of the world and have made undyhg record on every battlefield where they em mployed In that short time have changed from peaceful a militant people.

Upon it's summit is the town Of Cassel.
This is eight miles from the present

ulation, is built on an isolated hill
$50 feet high. It is four miles and
a half northwest Of the important
railway and highway center of Hare
brouck, and Is fifteen miles west OF
Ypres.)
Hindenburg wants these hills. Eight
picked divisions 10000 mem. were
thrown against them first day OF the
present assault, and more are coming
up.
The Germans are using the same
tactics they have employed since
Liege-trying to turn the hills instead
OF taking them by storm Having
swung around KENNEL. across the
plains TO the north, they are trying
to smash their way onward to Lac
lytte Zone mile north), hoping to turn

Coincidentally, they are attacking
northward toward the bluff through
which the Ypres-Comines canal
passes. q couple OF miles south Of

from Ypres and crosses the present
battle near Hollebeke. about half

front. The village OF Hangard itself
was penetrated.
Fighting Of the most violent ma
ture developed along the entire line,
and the heaviest possible losses were
inflicted upon the Germans.
The Germans stubbornly resisted
all the allied attacks and made strong
counter thrusts at numerous points.
North OF the Hangard wood they
launched seven attacks, but every one
broke down. and the storming col
umns were thrown back from the
field covered with German dead and
wounded.
There was a terrible struggle for
possession OF Hangard village, and It
changed hands several times in the
course OF the engagement.
THE French war office has stated
that American troops were fighting
with the French between the Somme
and Avre rivers. HanEard Is in this
district, but whether or not Ameri-
cans are in that particular zone has
not yet been made known.)
Allied Lines Extended.
Anglo-French forces attacked in the
neighborhood OF Hangard. south of
the Somme river, and extended their
lines materially.
The Germans brought up reserve
troops In an effort to stem the at
tacks, but were unable to do so.
This fighting centered around VII
