RENT HOGS
RAP DRIVE

IF it wasn't for the eXorbitant
rents charged the shipworkers,
which is causing many Of them to
buy homes on the installment
plan, the War Savings Stamp drive
would have been far more sue
cessful than it has BEEN" said F.
T. Carpenter of the Machinists'
union, Friday.
There are many men on the
waterfront who are eager to buy
stamps and do their part, but who
feel they should not obligate
themselves when they are already
burdened with home on the in
stallmcnt plan.
1T was buy the place or live in
the street." said one of the men
in question.

BOAT FARE
RULINGRAW|
Especial to The Times.)

OLYMPIA, June 28.-In the
opinion Of the state public COM
mission the Puget Sound Naviga-
ton Co.'s boat system, under
which II vessels are operated be-
tween Puget Sound ports, is one
unit and q transportation system
to be considered as a whole for
rate-making purposes.
The company asked for an in
crease in its rates some time ago,
but not until yesterday was the
formal order granting the in
crease issued by the commission.
The company is permitted to
raise single fare tickets from 40
OF so cents and round trip fares
from rs cents to 81, between Ia
coma and Seattle.
Under the commission's ruling,
the public travelling between Ia
coma and Seattle is charged up
for deficits on other lines of the
company.

infinitely deeper reasons. He will
never have more men at his dis
posal than he has now, even with
the arrival of released prisoners
from Russia.
Seeing that his forces are
dwindling, while the allied troops
are increasing, he is unable to
make a move without weighing
every chance and calculating the
cost in men.
Hindenburg must play his hand
soon. All the stakes are on the
table.

BRITISH CAPTURE
10000 PRISONERS

LONDON. Aug. 25.--In the last two
days the British third and fourth
armies have bagged 10000 prisoners.
among them being six battalion com
manders, q brigadier general and a
brigade adjutant general. The adju-
tant general tried to escape on horse
back, but was taken when his mount
vas shot from under him.
The British troops are thrilled with
their Srogress now. They are re
claiming ground, every foot Of which
is hallowed territory. The sacrifices
of comrades in earlier days on this
very ground is not forgotten. Every
village that is retaken is a shrine
where gallant British soldiers died in
days gone by.
This ground, where the British are
pushing ahead is honeycombed with old
duGouts and trenches. New trenches
have been dug in among the old ones
until the ground is fairly covered
with them. The field is one OF the
grimmest. most deSolate spots on the
western front.
II was in the light Of fun harvest
moon carly Friday morning that Eng
lish and Scottish battalions stormed
the villages Of Gomiecourt. Ervillers.
Hamelincourt, Boyelles, and Boiry-
Becqucrelle. The troops that took
Gomiecourt discovered the Germans
massing for a counter attack. The
enemy evidently believed there had
been reached their objective and
would not attempt to attack further.
They were quickly disillusioned.
The British broke up their counter
attack, took 500 prisoners and killed
many. The British troops quickly
carried their line east of these viii
lagos.

these has its base at the Somme and

Local operations continue advan-

The arrival of General Posalo, COM
