in the official reports Of last night
from the American front and the
reports indicate that on Saturday
the Americans in the sector
Northeast Of Toui experienced
the most severe engagement that
our forces have as yet been called
upon to sustain. In this engage
ment they have been successful.

been heavy but permission has

the losses.
Following a terrific lombard
! ment, heavy and long sustained,
in preparation for the attack
large forces Of the enemy crossed
No Mans Land at the extreme
right wing of the American sec
tor Northeast Of foul. The raids
were apparently undertaken for
the purpose of securing informa-
ton as to the strength of the
American positions. So well d.
rected and effective was the Am
erican fire that only few Of the
enemy succeeded in effecting an
entrance to the American trench
es. The enemy loss was large?
In the sector to the southeast
of Luneville' on Wednesday night
an American patrol in No Mans
Land met a German patrol. They
opened a harassing fire and the
enemy fed. Some Of them were
observed to be carrying on their
backs some Of their comrades, eyii-
IDENTIFY either very seriously
wounded or killed.
In this sector the American
TROOPS, in conjunction with the
French, are still occupying the
sector Of enemy trenches which
Ethey jointly captured. This posi-
ton they are holding despite an
Eother terrific effort on the part Of
the German artillery to drive
them out.
| American aerial observers in
the rear lines have organized a
squadron and are now under the
command Of a French captain.
War crosses were yesterday
conferred by the French upon a
number of American soldiers who
have shown distinguished bravery
in recent engagements.
The casualties announced by
the War department yesterday
were forty-nine, eight deaths
! from disease, one from accident,
one severely wounded and thirty
nine slightly wounded. In the
latter number is included Lieut..
Harold Hirsh.

Two Strong Points.

That without the tax increase

a reduction in the calls for ice wa

in large quantities in making arti-

day over the great Columbia high
way out of Portland. The road cost
the country $500, 900 and is paved

There is no question but that we
have the best squadron in the regi-

went over the top in the Liberty

ing stamps with a vim. We have a
wonderful lieutenant and top ser

Raised So as to Assure
Its Success.

City Commissioner Martin Rud
gren yesterday afternoon stated
that the city no doubt will decide
to maintain a public bathing beach
if a sufficient amount of money is
raised to establish one.
In speaking of the matter, he
said: The city at the present time
is not looking for places in which
to expend money, but on the other
hand finds itself in a position where
strict retrenchment is necessary"
However" he said, IF the pub
lic-spirited citizens of Rock Island
subscribe a sufficient amount to as
sure the success of the project, the
city commission no doubt will de-
eide to maintain the beach
He further stated that the city is
willing to do all in its power 10
promote the project. but wishes to
see its way clear before taking def
mite action.
The proposed location has been
designated as that between the city
detention hospital and the property
of the Rock Island Bridge & Iron

Beach VIII Prevent Tragedies.
The matter of locating a bathing
beach here has been agitated by
CITY Physician c. T Foster, who
is of the opinion that a well-kept
beach would be a great factor in
preventing river tragedies.
The Argus received a check for
500 yesterday from a public-spir-
tied citizen who asks that the sum
be used to aid in constructing the
beach A tentative offer of $1,000
has also been made. These sums
are approximately half of estimates
made for the project.

AFTER INSURANCE.

Battle Creek, Mich.-Negro sol
diers, who came here from the
south a month ago had some inter
esting conceptions of military life.
Virtually all applied for war risk
insurance, but the sums they de-
cided to take were far below the
average of the other soldiers in
camp. Suddenly big smiling
negro pushed his way forward and
said:
Boss, All wants $4,000 worth o.
dat insurance."
His seeming affluenCe created a
furore among the other dusky Sc
lects. They promptly began plying
him with questions as to his reason
for taking the maximum policy.
WELL" he explained, you kin
just bet dey'H take mighty good
care NV a $4,000 niggah over dere. !"
There was an immediate demand
for the larger policies.
