very ambitious. They expected to
push through as far as Bethune in
a circular movement southwark
along the canal. This document
stated that the ratio of forces would
be three German regiments to six
British companies and certainly the
enemy outnumbered the allies great
ly.
The British division which made
such a gallant stand at Giveuchy,
twice throwing the Germans cut,
then holding the place, was recorded
as being very weak.
The Germans began the attack
with an intense bombardme and
then put down one of their heaviest
barrages thus far seen. Under pro-
lection of this they advanced.
Vigorous Countcrattacks
The Germans this morning were
in possession of about half of the
village of Ploegsteert and Ploeg-
steert wood. on the Flanders battle
front just to the north of Armen-
there's.
The fighting was continuing this
morning north of Armentieres with
the British still holding Messines
ridge and Wytschaete, which yester-
day changed hands several times.
During the day the enemy sue
ceeded in entering not only these
positions but La Creche. Nieppe and
Hollebeke. Vigorous counterattacks
forced the enemy from all these
places.

In all, the house contained foul
rooms and a stable, which was by
far the largest of all. Although

hospital. L was told that it, too, was
filled with patients lying on beds OF
straw around on the ground. l dc
not know whether they, too, were
officers or privates.
The room in which 1 found myself
contained eight beds, three of which
were occupied by wounded German
officers. The outer rooms, | imag-
ined, had about the same number OF
beds as mine. There were no Red
Cross nurses in attendance, just or
derlies, for this was only an emer-
gency hospital, and too near the
firing-line for nurses.
The orderlies were not old men
nor very young boys, as L had eX-
pected to find, but young men in the
prime of life, who. evidently had
been medical students. One or two
of them / discovered, were able to
talk English, but for some reason
they would not talk. Perhaps they
were forbidden by the officer in
charge to do so.

my mouth, / had a swelling from my

German officers visited me that
morning and told me that my ma
chine went down in Il spinning nose
dive from height of between eight
and nine thousand feet and they
had the surprise of their lives when
they discovered that l had not been
dashed to pieces. They had to cut
me out of my machine, which was
riddled with shots and shattered to
bits.

prohibition amendment. will you
plodge yourself to assist in promptly
bringing it to vote as well as to
vote for 1t yourself?
"Second-What will be your atti-
tude toward anti-liquor legislation
for Pennsylvania"
Prompt Replies Requested
In conclusion the letter of the COM
mittee stated that unless a prompt
reply was received it would be un-
derstood that the candidates "atti-
tude is such that you do not wish it
known"
Ernest V. Claypool. district super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
with headquarters in the Dauphin
Building. stated to-day that many
unauthorized reports were abroad re-
garding the intentions of the organi-
zation which he represents and he
declared the attitude of individuals
in the Anti-Salocn League could not
be accepted as the official action of
the body at any time. He made it
clear that the county leagues had. it
within their jurisdiction To endorse
candidates and that the fundamental
principle was to treat all candidates
who were openly and squareiy COM
roitted on the prohibition question
with the same consideration.
DIR. Clayrool does not favor en-
dorsement of one candidate as
against another when both are de-
clared advocates and supporters of
the anti-liquor proposition.
The QUESTIONABLE sent out by the
Dauphin County Ratification Commit
tee went to all candidates, irrespec-
tive of party or faction, and it is
stated to-day that in due time the
matter of the attitude of the candi-
dates will be taken up by the COM
mittee.
Those candidates who neglect or
refuse to make their position clear
regarding the liquor question can eX-
pect no consideration whatever from
those who favor the ratification of
the amendment. Tt is said that GER
tain of the candidates now in the
field have either declined to commit
themselves or are inclined to strad-
die the question and these will be
published to all anti-liquor voters as
unworthy of support at the primary
Dauphin to BE "Dry"
1t has been understood for weeks
that the several Republican candi-
dates in Dauphin county would de-
clare themselves in favor of the
amendment and it is expected that
they will do so. but the Ratification
Committee insists on direct state
ments from the candidates them
selves.
There were already fourteen dry
counties in Pennsylvania and three
rev ones have been added this year.
1t is also reported that three more
will go dry. These facts are taken
by the prohibition forces as indicat-
ing the rising tide of sentiment in
favor of the amendment.
