ANOTHER ATTEMPT FORECASTEO
Gen. Haig Reports Front Southwest of
Ypres as Quiet as Graveyard
Heavy Cannonading at Other Points
Along Line.

Omitted Press War Review.)
The Germans continue to emphasize
the importance OF the Franco-British
victory southwest of Ypres by refus-
ing to renew hostilities there. Gen.
Haig reported today that the Ypres
sector is as quiet as a graveyard.
United Press correspondents forecast
a resumption of Hindenburgs attempt
to possess the Ypres heights, but de-
clare that several days, perhaps
weeks, will be required to reform the
shattered German divisions.
German artillery was busy today
east of Amiens and southwest Of
Bailleul. There was heavy cannonad-
ing last night in the st. Venant Sec
tor and in the neighborhood of Arras
and Lens.

Courthouse Bell
To Signal Daily
Hour Of Prayer

A moment of prayer every day at
noon for the soldiers and sailors in
camp, ON the high seas or in battle
will be observed in Columbia begin
ming today at the signal of the court
house bell. Arrangements to have
the bell rung at this hour daily were
made today at conference between
Mayor j. NJ. Dedman and group of
ladies who had been impressed by the
beauty and wholesomness Of tlis cere-
mony in other cities.
Henceforth when the bell rings at
noon every person in the city who
has faith in God and love for the sol
diers and sailors, every person who
wants the help of God in the war,
will cease whatever he may be en-
gagged in and silently lift his heart and
mind in prayer. This custom will be
followed throughout the war.
Many persons who are not accus-
toned to praying will soon find them
selves falling into this beautiful GER
emony and praying, even if it be un-
consciously, for a victory for the al
lies and the safety of "our boys" who
have gone and are going across the
sea to fight for the cause of Christ
ianity and humanity. This daily pray
ing will lead the people themselves to
exert greater efforts to bring about a
fulfillment of their prayers. for
prayer without work and faith has
never been known to be fruitful.

PRECAUTIONS in
SCHOOL OPENING
DR.. Roger Makes Statement in
Regard to Resumption of
Sessions in State

With the gradual opening of the
schools which will be permitted in
eastern sections of the state during
this week DIR. B. F. Royer, Acting
Commissioner of Health, urges the
school authorities to take every pre-
caution to guard against additional
outbreaks of influenza. While the
reports throughout the state do not
indicate that any great number of
school children have been afflicted
with the disease, nevertheless it has
been found that children are pecu-
Iiarly susceptible to it,
DIR. Roger suggests that local
health boards throughout the state
make a careful census of each school
district and only open such schools
where at least two-thirds of the
pupils come from homes having no
one sick from influenza within ten
days. DR.. Roger further urges that
due consideration be given to the
fact that a great majority of the
teachers in the public, private and

ration the four following proposed
changes in the revenue bill as it

First-Borrowed money invested
in a business should be considered as

Second-Recognitio should be

Third-Reputable expert account

by taxpayers their reports to be ac-
cepted by the department as official

a full week of time be given these
loyal helpers to rest and recuperate
before resuming their school duties
DR.. Royer believes that it would
be a great mistake, where the
schools have been closed, to open
them hurriedly without knowing that
children coming to school come from
homes free from infection, at least
week or ten days. Also it is
feared that thousands of teachers,
who have been acting as volunteer
nurses may for a short time be
carriers of the disease.

cording to reports from a number of

as adults, and yet in one state insti-

avoid danger to children by delay

is not fully appreciated by the pub

Americans Capture 10000
In its first major operation against
the Germans, considering the clear
ing out of the st. Mihiel salient as a
local affair, the American army in a
few days less than a month has lib
Grated more than forty-five villages
and advanced to an average depth
of ten miles of territory. In the Of
fensive the Americans have captured
more than 10000 prisoners.
The Americans attacked on a
front of twenty miles from the Ar
gonne to the Meuse and the advance
has been, made in the face of al
most insurmountable difficulties,
due particularly to the nature of the
ground which is covered with Aills,
deep ravines and woods. In addi-
ton the Americans had fronting
them four organize dSystems of
trenches-the Hindenburg line, the
Hagen position, the Kolker position
and the Kremhild post. oni They
have forced their way through all
these lines. Ahead of them lies the
Freya position, which has been
reached at one point in the region
of tn Bantheville wood.
The advance has ben particularly
difficult because the Germans have
stubbornly resisted every foot of the
way and have used more than thirty
three divisions on the twenty-mile
front. The enemy continues to
pake formidable effort to hold this
front in order to protect his great
lateral line of communication run
ming through Hirson, Mezieres,
Sedan, Montmedy and Languyon.
This line already is threatened and
should the Germans lose it, they
will lose their main line of COM
mucication from Germany into oc-
cupied France.
