Cannot Recover Lost Ground

The importance which the Germans attached 10 the territory wrested from them is indicated by the announcement that they launched determined coun- ter attacks as soon as they could pe organized. from Hargicourt to the Om- ignon riVulet.
 The success of their efforts remains somewhat obscure but it is not believed they can recover the ground they have lost.
 While the French advance was les: spectacular than that of the British with whom they operated. they were equally successful in gaining their objectives. They moved forwarl on front of six miles to an average depth of ] 1-S miles. adding several hundred prisoners to the British DaS. They now hold the southern outskirts of Contescourt, less than three miles from the suburbs of St. Quentin.
 Defense System in Danger
 This city, where the troops of Von Goeben scored a great Victory in 1871 is one of the buttressA of the Douai Cambrai, St. Quentin, La Fere-L Laon line behind which it has been an nounced the Germans would not tall back. With the French in the out skirts of La Fere with St Quentin m vested and with the British battling doggedly for Cambrai, the great Hin- denburg defense system is in danger of being preached at three of it's strongest points. Once busted from it the Teu- tons will have back of them no strong Notifications until they reach the Mau- beuge defenses.
 Quite Difficult Task Taking of St. Quentin remains a diff | ficult task, however, for the Germans are in strong defensive positions Ind | a captured order from General von Morgen to the fourteenth reserve corps emphasized the importance of the ter rain they hold. He orders them not to 1 yield another foot of ground in ~'the | imminent decisive battles"
 While the British and French were 1 forging ahead relentlessly in the west | the Serbs and the French in Macedo1-
 ia were making more emphatic then defeat of the Bulgars who have been reinforced by German troops. There is every indication that the offensive in the Near East is of major proportions and that it will develop to the limit II has widened to the west of Sokol dnG the east of Netrenik until the front cx- tends over sixteen miles. The resist ance of King Ferdinands troops is weakening as they are forced back.

There was no activity of consequence on theil front beyond the usual artillery &nd patrol activity.

"A. F.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Five sol ders were killed and at least A in jured in the wreck last night of a troop train near Marshfield, Mo. This was announced tonight by the war de- partment.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mo, Sept. 1S.-A federal investigation to place respon- sibility for the head-on collision of a freight train and troop train on the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad near Marshfield last night was begun today by the department of justice and representatives of the railroad admin istration. A coroner's jury viewed the bodies of the dead and an inquest will be held tomorrow.
 Strict Secrecy Observed
 The total number of dead. according to unofficial sources is now placed at II. including II soldiers and three trainmen. No list of the dead, how ever. was available, army officers in charge observing the strictest secrecy even as to the exact number killed A revised list of 45 injured was given out by railroad officials. Nine of the injured were able to leave the hos pitals.
 The cause of the wreck continues a puzzle to railroad and government off, cials, inasmuch as the track where the collision occurred is protected by the block signal system.
 Cause of Wreck PuzzIing Whether either of the two train ] crews failed to observe signals and ran into the block as a result of careless ness or whether some one had tam- pered with the block signal clearing | both trains in the same block, probably will not be known until after the offi- cial investigation.
 A report persisted that both trains had no orders which would permit of a misunderstanding and that both traiHs apparently had been cleared by block system which had been tempered with so as to clear both trains, but there was no official intimations to verify it, the belief prevailing in railroad cir clcs that one or the other of the train crews had confused. their orders.

DEFEAT IF GERMANS
 |S CONTRIBUTED ID
 BY AMERICAN TANKS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE LORRAINE FRONT. Sept. 1S.-l By The Associated Press If American manned tanks, operating Tor the first time on a large scale in the attack on the St. Miliel salient, played an important and dramatic part n the defeat of the Germans.
 Divided into brigades--light, inter- mediate and heavy-the tanks swung out onto the field of battle immediate iv after tht barrage. Before the day ended they had entered the villages of Nonsard, Pannes. La Marche and Binney, considerably ahead of the in- fantry.
 American Ingenuity to Rescue
 Early in the action difficulties were experienced in getting to the front suf- ficient gasoline, although great fleet of gasoline tanks had been prepared to carry supplies. The gas tanks were attacked by the enemy or were mired and it was here that American eingen- uity came to the rescue.
 Barrels Of gasoline were trundled and rolled over the roadlees fields by daring volunteers to meet the most pressing needs. Bob-slcds. curiously enough. were found more efficieat than wagons in carrying supplies since they could be dragged over the mud Withaut being mired and on them hundreds of gallons were conveyed 10 the fight inE tanks.
 Many Daring Examples
 The advance of tho tanks bl ought out many examples of daring on tho part of their crews. One major whose machine was equipped with a 37-lnlli metre gun instead of a machine gun, violated his orders and went far ahead until he was within range of Mon sard. With one well placed shot he knocked two Germans out of a church steeple from which they were firing a machine gun.
 A lieutenant. shot through the palm of the left hand by an explosive bull let. was sent 10 a hospital, but escaped and walked six miles back to the field. He appeared at his tank with the statement that he could carry on with his right hand.
 Tank Capsfrcs Battery
 Several others were wounded but remained on duty. No one was killed, however even though a German six inch shell plowed clear through 3 small tank. destroying it but iriuring -nly one of the crew. Another tank captured a battery Of "seventysevens but was so far ahead Of the infantry it could not turn over the guns 10 them
 The story is told of another tank which went into town with ser geant armed with rifle percheG On the turret. This machine captured two batteries of seventy sevens,' fivC machine guns and many men.

TAX PROVISIONS
 WAR REVENUE BILL
 APPROVED BY HOUSE

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1S.-All of the principal tax provisions of the new war revenue bill were approved by the house today almost as fast as two clerks, working in relays. could read them. With only @ few minor provi- sions and accounts to be considered, leaders believe a final vote will be reached Friday with possibility that it may come tomorrow.
 After adopting within an hour the war excess profits provisions without change, the house passed important sections raising many millions of dol lars without 8 word of objection or even discussion.
 Every amendment proposed either was rejected summarily or passed over so that the ways and means committee can consider them before final action is taken.
 Some Provisions Adopted Beside the war excess profits provi- sions, which yield the greatest returns to come from the bill. provisions adopted today were taxes on estates, estimated to raise s110,000,000; trans portation, S1S7,0G0,000; amusement ad- missions. S10O. GOO. 900: excise taxes, in
 
 and semi-luxuries. s51S000, 900; bev- erages. s1,137 100000; tobacco. S341, 900, 900; capital stock, $70,000000; the federal automobile license provision, SIP, 930, 900, and stamp taxes, S92,000,000. The luxury taxes caused some dis | cussion, some members contending the biD's rates too low, and others that they are too high. An amendment by Rep resentative Platt of New York, to re- duce the luxuries rates from 20 to 10 per cent, was defeated.
 To Be Disposed Of | The most important matters remain : ing to be disposed of are the proposal to tax cotton s bale and to impose five per cent tax on products of child | labor The cotton. tax was formally proposed today by Representative Moore of Pennsylvania and the amend ment discussion was spirited. | Representative Green of Iowa gave notice that tomorrow he would offer his child labor amendment, with pre- dictions general that it also would be l rejected.

So Hazel came again to a city-as
city that roared and beloved all it's
manifold noises in her ears, long
grown accustomed to a vast and BROOD
ing silence. Mindful of Bills parting
word, she took a hack to the Lady,
smith. And even though the hotel was
removed from the business heart of the,
city, the rumble of the city's her
culean labors reached her far into the
night. At last she fell asleep, and,
dawn Of a clear spring day awakened
her.
She ate her breakfast, and set forth
on a shopping tour. To such advan-
tage did she put two Of the hundred
dollar bills that by noon she was ar
rayed in a semi-tailored suit Of gray,
spring hat, shoes and gloves to match.

she found herself at something Of a
loss. She had no desire to &C back te
Cariboo Meadows, wen to get what
few personal treasures she had left:
behind. Cariboo Meadows was wiped
off the slate as far as she was n
cerned. Nevertheless, she must make
her way. Somehow she must find q
means to return the unused portion Of
the-to her-enormous sum Roaring
Bill had placed in her hands. She must
make her own living. The question
that troubled her was: How, and,
where? She had her trade at her fin
ger ends, and the stored office build
ings of Vancouver assured her that
any efficient stenographer could find
work. But she looked up as She
walked the streets at the high, ugly
walls of brick and steel and stone, and
her heart misgave her.

ly she caught sight of him standing on
the shore end of the wharf, his hands
thrust deep in his coat pockets, staring
after the steamer. Hazel waved the
envelope that she still held in her hand.
Now that she was independent Of him,
she felt ~magnanimous, forgiving-and
suddenly very much alone, as if she
had dropped back into the old. Gepress-
ing Granville atmosphere. But he gave
no answering sign save that he turned
on the instant and went up the hill to
where his horses stood tied among the
huddled buildings. And within twenty
minutes the Stanley D turned a jutting
point, and Bella Coda was lost to view.
Hazel went back into her stateroom
and sat down on the berth. Presently
she opened the envelope. There was a
thick fold of bills, her ticket, and both
were wrapped in a sheet of paper pen
ciled with dots and crooked lines. She
laid it aside and counted the money.
"Heavens!" she whispered. II wish
he hadn't given me so much. I didn't
need all that"
For Roaring Bill had tucked a dozen
one-hundred-Gollar notes in the enve-
lope. And, %curiously enough, she was
not offended, only wishful that he had
been less generous. Then she took up
the map, recognizing it as the sheet
Of paper Bill had worked over so long

It made the North more clear-a
great deal more clear-to her, for he
had marked Cariboo Meadows, the To-
cation of his cabin, and Bella Coda,
and drawn dotted lines to Indicate the
way he had taken her in and brought
her out.
She put away the money and the
map, and bestowed a brief scrutiny
upon herself iii the cabin mirror. Six
months in the wild had given her a
ruddy color, the glow of perfect phys
ical condition. But her garments were
tattered and sadly out of date. The
wardrobe of the steamer-trunk lady
had suffered in the winters wear. She
was barely presentable in the outing
suit of corduroy.

Earth, and there's plenty more where
it came from. Seeing that I deprived
you of access to your own money and
all your personal belongings, you are
entitled to this any way you look at it.
And I want to throw in a bit of gra-
tuitous advice-in case you should con-
clude to go back to the Meadows. They
probably looked high and low for you.
But there is no chance for them to
learn where you actually did get to
unless you yourself tell them. The
most plausible explanation-and if you
go there you must make some explana-
tion-would be for you to say that you
got lost-which is true enough-and
that you eventually fell in with a
party Of Indians, and later on con-
nected up with a party of white
people who were travelling coastward.
That you wintered with them, and they
put you on a steamer and sent you to
Vancouver when spring opened.

slowly. "OnlyI wish"-he caught her

smith. It's a nice, quiet hotel In the
West end. Any hack driver knows the
place."
He dropped his hands, and looked
steadily at her for a few seconds,
steadily and longingly.
"Good-by!" he said abruptly-and
walked out, and down the gangplank
that was already being cast loose, and
away up the wharf without a back
ward glance.
The Stanley DIS siren woke the
echoes along the wooded shore. A
throbbing that shook her from stem,
to stern betokened the first turnings
Of the screw. And slowly she backed
into deep water and swung wide for
the outer passage.
