Paris Says Americans RePulsed Ger man Attack-Attackers Were Caught By American Barrage-
 Waves of Men MoWn Down.

Paris. = The French lines north of Seicheprey, where the Germans inau- gurated a heavy attack against French and Americans, have been completely re-established, according to the war office announcement.
 German forces which attacked the American positions west of the Ren- CTS forest, northeWst of Foul, came across No Mans Land in three waves. They had been especially trained for this operation. The Americans, al- though greatly outnumbered, fought for every inch of the way, giving ground slowly and pouring a deadly machine gun, rifle and automatic fire into the advancing enemy. i The German barrage began just be- fore sunrise, after a heavy lombard ment on the American front and rear positions in the course of the night. In an attempt to put the American batteries out of action, the Germans used an unusually large number of gas shells, but the American artillery replied vigorously, hurling hundreds of shells across the Teuton lines.
 A counter barrage set down by the Americans caught the advancing Ger mans and killed number of them before they had opportunity to reach the American trenches.
 The Germans reached the she'll torn village of Seicheprey in the fore noon but only remained a short time, being driven out again by a brilliant counter attack made by the American infantry. The commander of one unit holding an outpost reported at one stage of the attack that his men were slowly giving ground, but they were fighting every inch of the way"
 The text of the French statement reads:
 There was no infantry action, but both artilleries were active at various points on the Somme, the Avre and the Osie. as well as on the right bank of Mouse.
 North of seicheprey our line has been entirely re-established.
 "The enemy bombarded Rheims, where several fires broke out.
 Eastern Theater.-On the left bank of the Struma the enemy violently bombarded villages which the British and Greek troops had occupied. There were artillery actions in the Doiran sector and on the Vardar Near Sborsko several Servian detachments in driving back enemy advanced posts caused movement of Bulgarian re- Inducements, which, caught under the fire of our artillery, suffered ap- preciable losses"
 The day statement reads:
 Artillery activity continued on the left bank of the Avre River and also between Montdidier and Noyan.
 "A German raid north of Rheims was repulsed.
 "The struggle continued throughout the night in the region of Seicheprey. French troops regained nearly all the terrain which had been lost to the Germans.
 American troops fighting in this region also repulsed a determined German attack in the same sector.
 Several raids were made by French troops on the German posi- tions in Lorraine and in the Vosges."

Travelling Men Have
Plan Of Raising Fund
for Red Cross Work

Patriotic Omaha travelling men
who use automobiles in making
their territories have hit upon a new
scheme TO obtain funds for the Red
Cross.
1t very often happens in travelling
from one town to another in their
territories they encounter other trav-
cling men who desire to make the
same objective, but have no ma
chimes. They also do not care to
wait for slow rtains,, and the man
equipped with a machien will take in
the other fellow and give him the
benefit of transportation.
These trips in the past have been
given gratis, or on the basis of fur
nishing gasoline. Now the travelling
men are exacting nominal fare for
the service and the money thus real
ICED is turned into the Red Cross
treasury. The way the idea is catch
ing on would indicate it is growing
in popularity and will soon realize
large sums for the Red Cross.

COLE EIGHT USED
AS FIRST AID CAR
At HALIFAX, n. S.
Runs for Two Days After Dis
aster Without Stopping;
Makes 2,2C0 Mile Trip
Without Incident.

If medals were presented to motor
cars for valiant service, certain Cole
Aero-Eight would no doubt be deco
rated, according to Capt. Lonsdale
Harrison, Halifax, N. S.
The ramming of a transport ship
laden with powerful explosives and
the disaster which followed the re-
sulting explosion in the harbor of
Halifax was the occasion for heroic
rescue work, in which Captain Har-
rison participated.
Relating these stirring experiences
Captain Harrison said recently, Dur
ing the Halifax explosion | used my
Cole Aero-Eight as an ambulance and
for the first 90 hours The engine never
stopped. The snow was two and
three feet deep in places and later
when blizzard developed to handicap
the rescuers the drifts piled up to
four and six feet in height.
II was on duty at the time the ex-
plosion occurred and, filling the car
with bandages and dressings. has
tened to the harbor front where the
eheCtS OF the disaster were most Sc
we're, | was on the scene 10 minutes
after the explosion.
Runs for Two Days.
For more than two days, the en-
gine of my Cole Eight ran without
stopping. When the car was brought
to halt, it was in snow drift six
feet high. We were compelled to
abandon the car until morning, when
the snow around the car was shoveled
away and, after filling the, radiator
with hot water, started it with the
first turn of the starting motor.
During its entire service at Hall
fax, my car was forced to make its
way through areas that would have
taxed a war tank TO capacity" said
Captain Harrison. The streets were
covered with bodies and debris of all
kinds. Time and time again other
cars appealed to us to tow them to
shelter, but time was too valuable
when lives and property were at
stake.

Lost Motion in Springs.

In inspecting the springs attention
should be given to the spring hangers
and other subsidiary parts. Lost mo-
ton, usually side play, often develops
in the spring hangers and shackles.
Not infrequently the bolts which pass
through the spring eye will be worn
nearly through in the course of a sea-
sons active running. Many cars have
no lubricating equipment for these
small parts and they wear out rapidly
under the stresses of travel.
