Heavy Fiahtina An Might.

With the Anglo American Armies
Near st. Quentin, Oct 9.-Heavy
fighting continued throughout the
night on the Cambrai-St Quentin
front and the British and Americans
continued their progress OF Tuesday
under a heavy protective fire from
the British artillery. The defeated
enemy was almost smothered under
the great deluge OF steel and explos-
ives. ...-
A large number of guns have been
captured by the British and ATnRrt~
cans in addition to the patches Of
prisoners which continue to arrive
at the cages. The American troops
alone captured two complete field
batteries and battery OF heavy
artillery. .v..
The Americans captured these
guns Tuesday afternoon when thsy
suddenly outfHnked both ends OF the
valley south of Fremont, capturing
the German guns there.
German reinforcements have arr
rived but as they are troops which
have been engaged several times RS
Gently their presence merely adds to
the confusion in the enemy ranks,
Throughout Tuesday and last night
the British had complete control OF
the air. Roads, barracks. massed
troops and batteries behind the Ger
man lines all were targets for the
busy British bombing machines.
During the day 1t was noticeable
that German airplanss were seldom
seen. The few enemy machines that
did venture forth to places where
they were not wanted. were quickly
engaged and in aerial fights q con-
siderable number of the enemy were
brought down.
There is a great confusion within
the enemy lines. On the front of the
two British armies engaged, elements
from no fewer than 20 enemy divis~
ions have been identified along the
20-mile fighting line. Such concveu-
tration of troops seems almost ika-
credible until it Is realized that some
of these divisions have been engaged
almost continuously. since August
and many are mere shadows OF EA8
old organizations.

Express Shareholders View

Stockholders Of the Wells Fargo Ex-
press Company are scheduled to meet
IN special session on July 18 to author
lze and approve the contract with the
United States government, governing
the new express company, and the SUBJ
scrlptlon by Wells Fargo to the stock
of the new corporation.
b. ID. Caldwell, president of the Wells
Fargo, in calling the meeting, said:
"The lar geexprcss companies, after
long negotiation with the government,
have agreed upon a form of contract
providing that the business and prop
erty OF the several express companies,
employed in the express transportation
business in the United States and ae-
!acent foreign countries (not including
investment assets), shall be taken over
by q new company, the stock of which
shall be issued to each company in
proportion to the value Of the property
so transferred, which has been an
proved by the board and will be sub
mlttcd for approval at the special meet
ing. 1T is believed that the course fol-
lowed is one which, under the condi-
lions existing at this time, gives the
best possible protection to the interests
OF the stockholders, and is, in fact. the
only course which will save the stock
holders from considerable losses and
impairment of assets"

Houseboat Dwellers
Busy Ducking Shells
Fort Totten Guns Drop Mis-
siles in Midst Of Throg's
Neck Colony

Disconcerting, not to say uncomfort-
able, as it undoubtedly is for the mem
bers of the little colony of houseboat
dwellers at Throg's Neck to know that
they not only have been but are liable
to be shelled with real-honest-to-good-
ness shells at almost any time, there
isn't much they can do about 1t. These
are are war times. and war is war.
At least. that was the statement made
yesterday by Colonel John Mcbride,
commandment at Fort Totten, when his
attention was called to the. fact that
two 3-inch shells from the forts guns
landed the day before almost, in the
midst of the colony. One she'll, in
fact, did sink the tender Of n sloop
anchored near by.
II am not permitted to say much in
these times,' Colonel Mcbride said.
"We are part of the defences, OF course,
Of New York. 1t is our duty to know
the character of every boat that passes
US bound in either direction. Some
times they don't stop as promptly as
they should, and then we fire shot to
call their attention to their remissness.
an times Of peace it is possible Tor
US to regulate our practice shooting SO
as to know exactly where our shells are
to land. In these times 1t isn't always
SO feasible. War is war, you Know,
and while we exercise every precaution
possible, 1t is impossible to guarantee
that any particular spot Will be soso-
lutely safe from \ shell"

MEN IN SERVICE
A LIFT AS FAR AS WE GO

This sign is issued by the Mayors
Council Of National Defence. 1t is a
good plan, and gives many man from
out-of-town feeling that he isn't en-
tirely among strangers.
Distribution of more than 100000,
for the maintenance of town highways
will be made this week, when checks
will be sent out to the various coun-
ties by State Controller Travis. The
sums run all the way from $1,000 for
Schenectady County. up to $4,000, for
Nassau County. The money is dis
tributed to all the counties outside Of
those making up the greater city. The
money comes from the state funds.
Learning the automobile in a hurry,
indeed, is the system announced by the
West Side Y. M. C. A. automobile
school. A course which takes eight
days, exclusive of holidays or Sum
days, has been inaugurated. There are
three classes of ten men now in this
"cram" course.
The students work from a. m. to
p. m., except the hours for meals.
They are taught to take down and as
semble the engines and other parts
of the car, to locate troubles and re-
pair them, and how to drive. The idea
of the intensive training is to fill the
rush demand for men to run automo-
biles in war service.

Need Owners to Pledge Cars
for Emergency Aid to
Police Department
By c. E. T. Scharps

The cooperation of owners of motor
cars with the Police Department in
case of an aerial raid or attack of
other sort by the enemy, not to men
tion ordinary emergencies for which
the police are not properly equipped
is earnestly desired by jefferson De
Mont Thompson, of the Traffic Com
mission. Those who have cars which
they themselves drive or else have
their chauffeurs where they can be got
at readily, no matter what the time of
day or night, are invited to agree to
place their machines at the service of
the Police Department, so that in an
emergency members of the police
force can be transported rapidly to
the point where they are needed.
A number Of motor car owners al
ready have consented to put their cars
at the disposal of the Police Depart
ment on this basis, but many others
are needed. 1t must be understood that
volunteering means a willingness to
get car out any time that it is needed.
This is a service of a most important
nature and one of the best things that
motor car owners can pledge them
selves to do.
Many automobiles nowadays bear a
