of placing a force of million or
more men in the field during the pres
ent year. lit was regarded as prob
able that. Lloyd Georges message was
calculated to reach the men in the
shipyards and munition plants and
picture for them the urgent need OF
haste with their part of the great
task. The rate at, which troops are
expected to go forward is largely de-
pendent upon the speed with which
ships are turned out. Secretary Baker
is in London and has conferred with
Lloyd George and other British Off

plain his problems. in bringing effec-
tive reinforcements into the great
struggle. % 5,f

ENEMY IS FORCED BACK BY FRENCH;
nj DEEP WEDGE DRIVEN IN BY GERMANS
Today's War
Summary

Checked all along the front of more
than fifty miles. except at two points.
the German drive is fast slowing up.
The beginning Of the second week Of
the great battle finds the British and
French holding tenaciously to the
western edge Of the old Somme bat
tie field. inflicting further losses upon
the enemy.
British counter attacks have begun
In the region Of Albert. which the
Germans hold, and. from which they
have been unable to advance because
of the resistance of the British. South
Of Albert. Field Marshal Haig has de-
livered counter attacks and has adj
vanced his line eastward between the
Somme skd Ancre about one mile.
South Of the Somme. the British have
regained Proyart, and have repulsed
strong attacks at Rosieres.
North Of Albert. the British threw
the Germans back across the Ancre
tween Albert and Monchy. On this
front the British have repulsed strong
enemy efforts at other points.
On. the southern flanks, the French
have held the German advance west
of Noyon. At I4assigny, the French
have retired slightly toward Montdi-
dier. being overwhelmed by superior
numbers. '& u's
The notes OF pessimism in the pub
lished statements of German leaders
since they failed to break through and
roll up one side Of the British line are
added to by the recent German official
statement. the latest one of which says
that the German attack is Slowly
progressing" The German casualties
are estimated to be between 100000
and 100000 and it Is reported that
long hospital trains are pouring into
able railroad lines.
On the seas, as we'll as on land. the
German offensive last week was much
stronger. Enemy submarinesa and
mines accounted for 2s British ships,
sixteen of more than 1900 tons. The
total is greater than that for any week
since last September ,16. French and
Italian losses also increased somewhat
and the aggregate for these three
merchant marines was thirty-seven.
Heavy artillery fighting continues
on the American sector northwest Of
Toul, but no infantry actions have de-
veloped. What was believed to be
German preparation for an attack was
checked by a heavy American bonn
bardment. the German troops not
leaving their trenches. There is much
activity: behind the German lines but
this portends. There has been no
change on the I;uneville sector.
In Palestine. British troops have

STOP BURNING OF LEAVES

AS soon as q strong autumn wind
sweeps down the valley Boise's
streets, sidewalks and yards will be
ankledeep with fallen leaves, and
then, If the plan of the past years is
followed, these leaves will be raked
into piles and burned. The result
Twill be that the city will be full of an
acrid smoke which will irritate the
membrane Of the nose and throat,
aggravate all "colds" and create an
inflamaton that will make hundreds
Of persons more susceptible to the
germs Of Spanish Influenza.
In Salt Lake the health authorities
have forbidden the burning of leaves
this year because the smoke will pro-
badly aggriavate the influenza dan
ger. Boise physicians have long been
opposed to the burning practice and
this year, of all times, the local
authorities, here and elsewhere in
the state, should listen to and follow
the advise which physicians give. 4
Fallen leaves make nearly the best
mulch that is known. The cash value
of the leaves burned In Boise every
autumn Is probably sveral thousand
dollars, when their worth as mulch
and fertilizer Is taken into account.
This year besides being watseful, the
burning Of leaves will also prove an
unusual menance to the health OF
the community. Other plans should
be made at once for their disposition
before the annual drop begins.
