 Traffic Laws.

By vote of to 3 the city council last night tabled the ordinance to all low the Southwestern Telephone and Telegraph Company to raise the rates from $2 to S2.50 on residence and S3 to $4 on business telephone
 This action is believed to be the death knell of efforts to increase the rates, which, the telephone company says is absolutely, as they claim Ihe local exchange is operating at a loss of several thousand dollars year.
 When the measure was called up for it's third reading last night Alder man George D. McGibbony moved that it be tabled. Alderman F. o. Me. Gehee seconded the motion.

Another ordinance adopted increased the sal. arv of George Afford, captain at Fire Station No. 1 from $75 to $85 per month: He is given the additional du- ties of keeping the motor fire appar- atus in repair.
 The chief of police was instructed to carry on campaign against vio- iatlons of automobile and traffic regu- lations. Printed notices were ordered to be used.

With the French Army in France, Aug. 19.-Q. p. m. By The Associated fress.)-Successive blows delivered against the Germans since August 10 all along the line from the Somme to Soissons appear to have brought the opedations to crucial point.
 After yielding in the early opera tions, the enemy has been making a desperate stand at crucial points in the past few days but his resistance has failed to overcome the steady pressure by the allies around Las signy and Rove.
 The French third army made fur ther progress today in the region of Lassigny and the Thiescourt Hills.
 They have occupied the greater part of Beuvraignes and are forging nearer Lassigny from the south of Fresnieres and the Canny woods and also are pressing northward toward Lassigny by forcing an exit from the Thescourt wood.
 These gains were made during the most severe fighting, the Germans contesting strongly every bit of ground. Lassigny is now almost turn ed to the south and is threatened from the north.
 It is likely to fall at any moment.

The Kind of Men Needed.
An classes are joining the Re-
serve; professional men, engi-
neers. artisans, laborers Of all
kinds. The Reserve welcomes
every patriotic citizen who wish
es 10 serve, whatever his quail
dcations. 1t is a democratic or
canization in which all classes
meet in a common devotion to
our country.
Men especially needer are me-
chanics, artisans, skilled labor
ers of all kinds, men who can
work with tools. There is great
need for such men now. Every
available man Of this sort must
be enrolled promptly or our
country's war work will be re-
tarded.
Only men who are really ready
and able to respond when an OPP
p~ortunity for service comes
should enroll. The Reserve does
not want to be swamped with
records of men who are merely
expressing patriotism but who,
when it comes down to business
are not going to be able to work
where they may be needed.
Men of draft age are not want
ed if likely to be called soon. En-
rollment in the Reserve is nc
ground for exemption.
Acceptance of a Call to Service
Purely Voluntary.
Most of the positions offered
to Reserve members will be wei
compensated. Only occasionally
does some branch of the Gov
eminent want unpaid helpers.
No obligation exists to re.
spond to a call when it comes
the Reserve merely presents the
opportunity, trusting to the
judgment and patriotism of its
members to lead them to accept
if they should accept in view Of
all the circumstances and Of
their country's need.
