NEW YORK, Aug. 26-Summary OF
European War Cables to the Associated
Press.-EXtending the Picardy battle
line far to the north into the Artois
sector, the British launched an attack
this morning in the Scarpe region east
of Arras. This attack may be consid-
cred as a new development of the ter
rifle battle east of the Ancre river.

Wednesday.
The British war office says that good
progress has been made in the new
attack which was begun in an area
where the Germans hold strongly forth
fed lines which have been held by them
for the last two years.
Just to the south of the Cojeul river
the British have seemingly encountered
slight setback, for today's reports
show that they are fighting west OF
regions where the battle was said to
be going on yesterday.

pocketed by the British. Favreuil, a
mile and a half to the northeast, has
ben taken by the British, who have
passed beyond the village, while farther
north Nfory has been left behind by
Field Marshal Haigs men,
Progress on each side of the Somme

As the state fair at Dallas. Texas,

a part of his life is a non essential.
Every man who does not make the

RECORD BROKEN FOR

Over Two Thousand Dollars
Collected From Erring Motor
lists Including Those Of City.

Old records for fines collected from
automobilists in Maryland in single
week were smashed during the seven
days ending last Saturday. Repre-
sentatives from the Office of Motor
Commissioner Baughman visited many
of the small towns. including Annap-
oils, and rounded up scores of per-
sons who had not complied with the
detailed changes in the auto law. In
cluded in the more than $4,000 col
lected for violations of one fine of
200, several of 500 and many of $25
and $40 each. In addition to the reve-
nue. collected by the police authorities,
which will go toward road mainten-
ance, Commissioner Baughman i'm
posed a few penalties. Among these
were five revocations of licenses, the
suspension of 19 others and the re-
fusal of licenses to other persons.

PROFITEER WIFE is
HELD BY THE POLICE.
Woman Who Became Bigamist
In Annapolis Alleged To Have
planned Other Weddings.

Mrs. Catherine Lanahan-Hiller, the
Baltimore female bigamist who, while
still the wife of one man was married
a second time TO Sergeant Virgil w.
Hitler in this city last November, was
held for the action of Federal officers
in Baltimore on Saturday. If the Unit
ed States Government determines not
to prosecute her for fradulently re-
ceiving government pay checks, she
will be prosecuted in Baltimore for
bigamy.
That a scheme of marriage profit
eering was nipped in the bud when
Headquarters Detectives Kratz and
Kahler arrested Mrs. Lanahan-Hiller
is the belief of the police.
Information was received yesterday
which, according to the detectives,
shows that Mrs. LaHahan-Hiller was
bent upon being a principal in many
marriages for purposes of gain
through the monthly allotment per-
mitted by the government.
