We Retain Trenches Near LuneyilI,

We Retain Trenches Near LunevilIe.
With the American Army In France.
The American troops In the sector
east Of Luneville, in conjunction with
the French, are still holding the for.
mer enemy trenches northeast of Ba-
donviller, although the Germans have
made another attempt to drive them
out with artillery. Shells, most of
them heavy and some of them of the
l2-inch type, have pounded the posi-
tons intermttently, but the Ameri-
cans and their allies have held on.
Consolidation of the positions has
been continued, and the series of OBJ
erations in this particular part Of the
sector has brought the French lines up
on front Of nearly three miles. The
parapets have been turned toward the
enemy, dugout entrances have been
changed, and now dugouts have been
built to protect the men.
Finally 1t appeared as II the enemy
would abandon his attempt to drive
out the Americans and French, realiz-
ing II as almost hopeless. Throughout
the sector artillery firing is continu-
ing, but no infantry activity has de-
veloped so far.

Strong Force Attacks, but Only
a Few Succeed in Enter
ing Our Positions.
TERRIFIC RAIN OF SHELLS.
Assault Aimed at Extreme Right OF
Our Line-Foe Active Near Lune-
silie--Trying TO Regain Lost
Trenches by Bombardment.

With the American Army In France.
After terrific artillery preparation
large numbers OF the enemy crossed
No Mans Land on the extreme right
OF the American sector, northwest OF
Toul. Apparently the purpose Of the
raid was quickly accomplished, and
only a comparatively small number
entered our lines Permission has not
been given to mention the number OF
casualties.
This raid. like most Of the others,
carried out all the way from the sea
to Switzerland, was designed to gather
information by means of taking pris-
oners.
East OF Luneville our patrols have
explored part of the German trench
which our artillery forced the enemy
TO abandon. The patrols proceeded
laterally until they established contact
with the Germans. Our reconnaissance
and wire patrols found snipers' posts,
listening posts and nests from which
machine guns had been firing on our
lines. The artillery attended to all
these posts. The positions of the Ger
mans have been made so uncOmforta-
bic at several places that they are now
trying to regain foothold by connect
ing shell holes
Our troops have been subjected to
an extraordinarily heavy artillery fire
for the last "A hours. More than 240
shells, which make craters 20 feet deep
and 30 feet In diameter, fell In one Sec
tion Of the line. In another section
batteries have been shelled heavily.
More gas shells have fallen In both the
Toul and Luneville sectors, but the
larger number in the former.

LETTER FROM SOLDIER IN
FRANCE.

Seattle. Wash.-I received today a
letter from my youngest boy, Martin,
from Somewhere in France. He is
now a sergeant and goes to the Signal
Corps School for final Instructions. He
does not like the French wines. II lie
only knew them as well as | do. he
would call for brands like champa. ne
or Burgundy anil he certainly would
not have to complain. ] presume he
will soon find what's what. His pay
Is now $500. This letter Of his Is
short and not interesting enough 10
publish it in its entirety.-Sincerely
yours, Frank Miller. 1886 West 9th
Street, Seattle, Wash.

and an occasional sick dog costing SIS
form the chief food for the great bulk
of Austria-Hungary's population. ac-
cording to a comprehensive review Of
the economic situation in the dual
monarchy by a frontier correspondent
OF the Daily Express. Thousands Of
deaths occur weekly as a result OF
under feeding or actual starvation. The
economic situation in Germany is de-
scribed as almost equally bad. IL is
declared to be doubtful II Austria
Hungary can last another winter with,
out an empirewide hunger revolution.
A few ounces of indigestible bread,

The Ways and Means Committee
Of the lower House Of Congress is
now considering revenue legislation.
Secretary McAdoO favors fiat war
profit tax of 80 per cent. In tele-
gram TO Chairman Kitchen, he says:
1T is my strong conviction that
the taxation Of genuine war profits
is the only way TO reach the real
war proilteering, and that it is at
the same time a thoroly justiflable
measure upon economic grounds as
well as certain and indispensable
producer of a large part Of the re-
quired revenue.
The patriotic producers Of Ameri-
ca should be content if one-flfth Of
their war profits are secured TO
them. especially when we reflect
that the men who are fighting and
dying in France TO save the liberties
of those who stay at home and who
make il possible for them TO con-
tinue in business. are limited to
1896 per year for their services and
have TO give their blood in the bar
gain"
"If the American railroads had not
been operated with success, the
whole transport movement might
have failed, because il was essential
to quick transportation that the
troops should be ready for the ships"
Director General McAdoo seems
justified in his statement that while
the development Of the policy Of the
Railroad Administration requires
time. Progress has been made to-
ward the goal.
The citizen., 1918-08-22

The world has been astonished at
the great number of American SOL
diers transported TO Europe in the
last half year. The number now
approximates 100000 and the loss
Of life in transporting them has been
almost inflnitesimal.
The success with which we have
moved our troops from the scattered
camps in this country and across
5000 miles of ocean, 10 the battle
front, is great evidence of American
efficiency. We have not only sur
prised our enemies; we have sur
prised our friends and ourselves.
The British controller of shipping,
Sir Joseph Maclay. speaks of this
movement across the sea as "a
transport miracle" We have been
inclined TO attribute this acieve-
ment solely TO our Navy and our
shipping, but the British controller
speaks in high praise OF the share
the American railroads had in the
work. He says:

The Speed Law

The number of automobiles is increasing in
munty. They good and useful. They time
and give healthu pleasure In most cases they
handled with and regard for the welfare and rights
OF Others but every day the speed law is violated by
someone.
More people killed in year from automobile
accidents than have been killed among soldiers thus
far in the Carelessness and violation of law the
cause for most of this
The number of cases in our community has been few
but there is always danger Every daily paper has
account of an accident somewhere with lives lost
bodies manned.
There are many good reasons for slowing down. 1t
sbetter the machine 1t is pleasant for the rider
1t is good citizenship for is observance of sensible
and useful law.

SENATOR MAY NOT RECOVER
Reports as to the Condition Of un<ed
States Senator ollie James OF
Kentucky Are Conflicting.

p Baltimore, Nd. Aug. 19.-Only con-
flicting reports could be had as to the
condition Of United States Senator
ollie James of Kentucky, who for
more than two months has been a pa
tient at Johns Hopkins hospital. Ply
sicians insist that Senator James con-
ditlon is unchanged" and that his sit
uation Is not serious. On the other
hand, according 10 some who have

dition is very grave.

ernment for its tardy remedies. The
