The Fighting Yesterday Afternoon

The Fighting Yesterday Afternoon
With the British Army in France,
Aug. 23.-3:40 p. m.-Victorious
on a battle front of twenty-thres
miles extending from the Cojeul
river on the north, across the Ancrc
and Somme rivers almost to Lihons,
the third and fourth British armies
under Generals Bying and Raw
linson, at mid-afternoon were vigor-
ously following up their successes,
which apparently had been one OF
the most disastrous days ever expe-
rienced by the Germans.
The enemy has lost wide stretch
es Of ground, numerous towns,
thousand of men made prisoner and
large quantities of materials and
guns. He also again has had heavy
casualties.
Crown Prince Rupprecht of Ba-
varia, the German commander, has
thrown his men in before the ad-
vancing British armies in an effort
to stave off the inevitable, but only
to have them moved down again
and again by storms of metal which
poured from the British guns. One
entire enemy battalion was annihi-
lated during the fighting.
Dead Germans in great numbers
are scattered everywhere over the
battlefield. AS an example, 400 en-
emy dead were observed this morn
ing on one small piece of ground
over which the battle had swept.
With this fierce fighting and not
withstanding the fact that the Brit
ish at many places have fought over
open ground against an enemy pro.
tected in "pot-holes" and stront
points of other kinds, the British
losses everywhere seem to havebeer
extraordinarily light. This proba
bly, is due to the confusion the Ger
mans find reigning behind theil
lines, as they are fighting a losing
battle which for them hourly grow!

ADVISES EATING ONIONS
TO COMBAT INFLUENZA
Preventative and Cure, Says Miss
Frances Dickinson-Use in Civil
War Recalled.

Eat onions and break up that
cough!
This remedy. which is claimed to
have dated back to the civil war.
and even antedating that period. is
suggested by Miss Frances Dickin-
son of the Astoria apartment, as a
preventative against and a cure for
Spanish influenza
Raw onions, Miss Dickinson says,
are preferable to those cooked,
though the latter are effective. In
presenting this remedy to the public
through The Star, Miss Dickinson
says that she knows of a number of
cases where onions have done the
trick in short order no matter how
severe the cough. She advises, how
ever. that persons making use of the
remedy steer clear of crowds.
Miss Dickinson points out that her
attention has been called to a condi-
ton existing in an Army camp during
the civil war. The camp had been
hard hit by sickness of all kinds, and
the government sent there forthwith
a carload of onions. The men in the
camp were compelled to eat them,
and, Miss Dickinson says that the
author of the story told her that
sickness soon left the camp. The
onions were too strong for the dis
eases.
