| In the 6nal moment, when only q step
separated them, and when men ex-
pected to see the first mad lunge, the
splendid Dane slowly raised his head
and looked over Kazan's back through
the glare Of the lights. Harker trem-

voiceless pledge Of peace. Kazan did
not leap. He turned. And shoulder to

Every face turned in the direction of

MORALES AFFAIR NOW BELIEVED 4
 CLOSED INCIDENT
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

MORALES. Ariz., Aug. BOA rifle shct was fired on the Mexican side of the border in Nogales, Sonora, late to- night, causing the sentry along the American side of the international line to take to cover. Investigation revealed that the shot had not been fired across the border and was probably caused by the accidental discharge of a rifle in the hands of an inexperienced Mexican soldier. No further shots were fired.
 An additional infantry regiment ar r1Ved here today from San Francisco and went into camp at Camp Steven Little in the Tucson Nogales turnpike. The troops were .enroute to Nogales when the shooting occurred Tuesday and their arrival had no connection with the shooting of Tuesday after noon or the sniping of Wednesday night.
 Their presence here resulted in the dissipation of whatever fears the more timid residents of Nogales had and il IS new agreed that all danger of an- other clash is passed and the border incident of Tuesday is closed.
 Officers Funerals Held
 An aftermath of the Tuesday shoot ing affair was witnessed today wher the military funerals of Captain Joseph D. Hungerford and Lieutenant Luke w. Loftus were held here. The bod ies of the two officers who were -ic. tins of Tuesdays affair was accom- panied to the station by a military es- cort of negro and white troops, while z military band played the Dead March from Saul and hundreds of soldier. | stood at attention while the women O Nogales covered the caskets of tn, dead officers with clusters of flower. gathered from their yards.
 The body of Captain Hungerford Wal returned to Washington, D. C.. fo burial in the Arlington national ceme tery That of Lieut.. Loftus who die, rom wounds received in Tuesdays en gagement, was seat to Dolores, Texas for burial.
 The rumor that there were larg bodies of Yaqui Indian reinforcement south of Nogales, Sonora. is now con sidered as purely myth.

 At Ecoust St. Me;n the enemy is still maintaining an obstinate defense closely pressed by our troops who have taken a number of prisoners in this locality.
 At 6ulIecourt and Hendecourt hostile counter attacks, delivered with much determination by strong forces, compelled our troops 10 fall back to the western outskirts of the villages and to a German trench system between them, where the enemy's attacks were stopped by our fire. North of these villages an attack launched this morning by Canadian troops astride the Arras Cambrai road has been successful.
