Railroads Soon May Take Care OF
Reservations for Travellers.
According to rep rts from the pas
senger department of the Santa Fe IN
Topeka there is a plan under way,
in the office of the director general
in Washington. to allow the rail-
roads to pay tell charges on wires to
eastern lines which are necessary in
arranging transcontinental Pullman
accommodations.
Under the present plan Pullman ac-
commodations from the west can be
arranged as far as Chicago. At that
point further reservations must be ar
ranged ually with a resultant loss
of time and added expense to the trav-
eler. With the Scent rate in force
and the added war tax of per cent.
any reduction in total cost resulting
from not having to pay the additional
wire charges would be appreciated by
many travellers.

of Prisoners Are Cap
tured.

Paris, Aug. 22.-Lassigny has been
captured by the French, according to
the war office statement, which adds
that General Foeh's troops also have
pushed northward from Pimprez, on
the Disc, until the outskirts of Chlry-
Ourscamps have been reached.
With the announcement earlier in
the day that Sempigny had fallen into
the hands of General Mangins troops,
the important enemy base of Noyon,
only two miles away, hardly can hold
out much longer.
All during the day on the Oise-Aisne
battle front the French have con-
tinued to advance, capturing numer-
GUS villages along the line and greatly
increasing the total of German pris-
oners taken. The penetration since
Tuesday at certain points is about
five miles.
Over on the extreme right wing in
the environs of scissors, a sudden
thrust has carried the French to high
ground which dominates the Aisne TO
the east, where the enemy has been
standing to the south on the Vesle
against the Franco-Americans.
French Statement.
The official statement reads:
Between the Matz and the Disc
the enemy, despite his resistance, gave
way under the energetic thrust of our
troops, and Lassigny fell into our
hands.
Further south we gained footing
on Plemont and occupied Orval wood;
we carried our lines to the outskirts
of iry-Ourscamps.
East of the Disc our troops con-
tinued their success during the course
of the day. On the left Carlepont
wood fell into our power and we
reached the Disc TO the east of Noyon
between Sempigny and Pontoise.
Cross Noyon Road.
"Further east we crossed the road
between Noyon and Coucy-le- Chateau.
We took Camelin-et-le-Fresn and
Bierancourt and advanced our lines
to the outskirts of st. Aubin.
"Since Tuesday we have liberated
about twenty villages and advanced
eight kilometers at certain points"
The power of the French advance
on the Oise-Aisne front is indicated
by the fact that the enemy has coun-
ter-attacked in strength with fresh
troops, but these have failed to stay
the onrush of General Mangin's army.

London, Aug. 22.-British forces
have captured Courceles, Achiet-le-
Petit. and have reached Moyenville
and Beauvourt- Sur-Ancre in their drive
north of the Ancre river, according to
advices from the front.
The British attack was between
Moyenville and Beaucourt- Sur-Ancre,
a distance of about ten miles, it is re-
ported that the British have advanced
from two to three miles along this
front.
The attack was made without artil-
lery preparation. 1t was completely
successful. The attack was made by
the British third army under General
Byng.
After capturing Achiet-le-Petit the
British troops advanced another mile
and a half to the east and reached
Achiet-le-Grand.
British Headquarters in France,
Aug. 22.-Field Marshal Haig launched
an offensive on front OF about ten
miles. The high contour between Adm
fer and Moyenville was the northern
zone of attack and Puisieux-au-Mont
the southern landmark of the front.
The enemy here lately has been with
of his defenses.
The British attack is on a trout be-
tween Arras and Albert. The attack
extended from the Ancre river at Beau
court TO just north of Moyenville.
Some German field guns and 200
ish drive at an early hour.
All the German outposts and posi-
tions along the important Dranoutre
ridge, between Koudekot and the Lo-
Gus Hospice have been attacked by the
British This front is In the Lys sa-
lient.
Although prisoners said the Ger
mans had been expecting the attack
for week. it was tactical surprise.
Tanks and infantry advanced through
the heaviest fire in the gray morning
light.
After brief "crash" bombardment
the British troops were upon the en-
envy almost before he knew IT,
Tanks Help In Attack.
Although the enemy had been very
vigilant and expecting an attack, he
was tactically surprised The heavy
might mist, increasing to steamlike
smoke, enabled the British to reach the
points of assembly without the chance
of detection.
A great concourse of tanks maneuv-
cred into position as quickly as pos
Sible.
The first advance of the British was
made at 8 :05 o'clock. The retaliation
was very light at first, no Doubt owing
to the difficulty of the Germans seeing
the British troops in The haze, and they
got on rapidly.
Later the assaults, lengthening the
front by about another 6,000 yards, ma
terialized according to plan.
Men and Guns Taken.
Some 200 prisoners were taken with
great promputude. They were chiefly
from the Second Guards division and
the Fourth Bavarian division. Some
field guns fell into the hands of the
British early in the attack.
The German infantry was discovered
to be weak in places, some companies
not having more than so men of all
ranks.
