 Lieutenant FOnck, recognized ns the greatest French air fighter since Captain Guynemer, fs credit ed with bridging down 60 enemy airplanes. Of these he downed six in one day In the course of two patrols.

The French fIier fell upon the first en- emy machine with his machine gun. 1t fell in flames in 10 seconds. Later he got his sights on the second ma- chine with the same result.

 The artillery preparation. which was the most violent. began yesterday morning and the enemy anticipated m attack, hastened to reinforce his lines, sending up two of the best divisions which were held in reserve. Those divisions arrived during the night in motor lorries
 An hour and half after the order was given to attack, infantrymen were passing Audignicourt and vas- sens and were followed immediately by batteries of 3-inch guns. The first line of defense was then breaking.
 The Germans on retiring filled the ravine with mustard gas. This. how ever. proved only temporary trouble. the entire ravfne being turned in SAAOi liAfiC dnd -uC E1GuCu ltOOpS PIOS- ressing toward Blerancourtelle, eight miles southeast of Noyon.

 The artillery reaction was very weak over this part of the front.
 French aviators flying way down un- der tho low-lying clouds. kept the staff regularly informed as to the progress of the attack and harassed the enemy with machine gun fire. No German flyers tried to interfere with their work. Few were seen in the ale during the morning.

HAS STRONG LEAD

Memphis, August 19.-North Mississippi returns from today's senatorial primary at a late houi tonight gave Representa- tive B. F. Harrison strong lead over Senator J. K. vardaman and former Gov ernor B. F. Noel. Many cities and towns and some counties were complete and 1t was believed here that the isolated boxes which will report tomorrow can not give Vardaman even a plurality in this section unless they are almost ali in his favor This is not generally ex pected. Indications based on reports re ceived herc from all parts of the state were that Harrison would be nomina ted without the necessity of run-off pri mary.
 The senatorial contest so monopolized interest here that little was known of results in the other races.

The big squeeze took place on the Dswsop front this afternoon at 2:Se The ice which had jammed after the morning jamhoree, got away for the second heat, and beat it to- warG siberia for. twenty minutD
 Then it stopped. ,..-..~
 With the five hundred million and tw. tons of ice, and forty billion gallons of water, and nine hundred thousand cords of driftwood forcing the wedge, the big offensive was irr sistible. It smashed things.
 The, huge barge which was lying in front of the Northern Navigation wharf was forced completely unier the wharf, and tilted at pitch Of forty-fiye degrees, with the offsh0re side down, and the inshore side 30 hign that one corner crashed through the walls of the N. c, boiler house, where the big plant had up full steam. The barge halted when the corner of it was less than two feet from the side of the boiler. A triae more, and the big boiler, prob ably the largest in the city would have been turned topsy turvy.
 The same ice pack which put the par e beneath the wharf cutt away the piling from under the N. N. wharf thirty feet back from the front, and let the wharf collapse, and drop several feet. It possibly will fall much farther when the river falls and the ice moves out and leaves no support wSere the piles are broken.
 A large portion of tthe barge is pinned under the wharf, and the in cline on which the conYeyor was located for the lifting of freight was carried away, but tthe material Is within reach.
 The corner of the N. N. Wharf where the barge made the drive is lifted so that a wide space of the flooring is raised, and much of the wall smashed. The Yukon Gold had large steel derrick located on the outer southerly edge of the wharf until this morning. When 1t was seen what damage the first run of lee had done, and that further dam age was threatened, the company wisely had the derrick removed. A large gang of men, with several teams, was put to work, and only an hour or two before the second smash came had all the material off the wharf. .s 1S%saie

Hydraulic Works Now Working

Dawson, May 1O.-The first hy- draulic work of the season has started on Last Chance creek, where several individual miners are mak- ing a splendid showing. The big hydraulic plants of the Yukon Gold on Bonanza, and of the c. K. M. and others on Hunker benches are expected, to start any time naw. Crews are busy everywhere on the preparations.
 The Yukon Gold expects water any time now sufficient to start its power plant on the TwelVemne' and also to supply the hydraulics. When the plant starts some of the dredge 8 will be given the juice immediately, and VIII begin tear ing u" the gravels of ages.
 The Last Chance operators prom ise to be big producers and to con tribute heavily this year to the camps gold output.
 Commencing at the head of the creek, the first operators are Do Ian & Drake, on Treasure hill. They are running two giants.
 On nine from the mollth Jack Day, on the left limit, is running one giant. r

 A the White Pass wharf, the Ice broke some of the planking and hit the northerly corner a damaging blow this morning, and this after noon did further damage, but not enough to imp air the wharf from service. However, much ice was lodging against the wharf after the second drive, and the water had hacked up so that the ice was almost even with the floor, and should it rise much more the wharf may oo flooded with ice and debris. The c. K. NJ. people had much f-.'ght, most steel dredge parts, on the White Pass wharf, and i'm medately put 8 crew of men, with teams, to work this morning, moving the material to the street.
 h front of the fire hall and along the street to a point above the ferry the ice piled high, but did no seri- ous damage. Many small boats were tossed about like corks. Near St. Mary's, the ice was forced many feet up the bluff, almost to the road, and fell back in a shower. The Ice was so rotten 1t broke in showers of needles.
