consolidating their resistance at the

of the Disc from Bailly north to
Sempigny.

sion of scores of villages and many
scores of strong points. He is holding

Counter Attacks Repulsed.
(By Lowell MelIett)

With the British Armies in France,
August 21.-General Byng's army
struck the Germans on ten mile
front between Arras and Albert in a
heavy fog this morning,
The attack began shortly before
five o'clock and just four hours later
the British forces had captured Moy-
ennviller, Bucquoy, Albainzevilie, Cour
cellies, Acheit-Le-Petit and Beaucourt
on the Ancre.
Big Guns Cut Loose.
At fve-twenty the big guns which
had been concealed in readiness for
several days let loose a great fire of
sabre and the troops sprang into ac-
ton.
BY six o'clock several parts of the
lines were passed.
Moyenneville where resistance was
very active was captured at six-fifty.
Prisoners taken there said that they
had been expecting the British forces
for the past week.
200 Prisoners BY 7:o5 a. m.
Two hundred prisoners were re-
ported taken at seven-five. Some ma
chine guns had also been captured.
Only a few casualties were suffered
by the British.
At 7:15 Coucelles was captured.
Tanks Ride own EntansIements.
The attack which the Germans had
been expecting for the last week burst
up in a camouflage of mist which laid
for some time over the ragged and
worn battle fields and chung to the
ground while the tanks. cavalry and
infantry pushed their way over and
around the enemy's trenches and the
newly barb wire entanglements.
Huns Abandon Big Field.
The British had made good progress
before the sun shone down through
the clouds about nine o'clock and
cleared the mist which revealed that
the Boches had cleared out OF most
! of the points on this side of the high
enbankment of the Arras railroad A
heavy clash of artillery preceded the
/ advance.
Fog Favored the British.
No report had been received from
Miraumont and Lograst Woods. two
highly important points where the
British forces were busy clearing out
machine gun nests of the enemy.
Conditions for the attack were
ideal. No smoke ebarrage could ever,
equal the effectYenesss of the fob,
So far as the tanks were concerned
the crews were able to see il nces-
sary while the tanks themselves were
hidden from the Germans until it
was too late to make any effective
resistance.

General Byng's Third army held the
line between Arras and q point near
st. QueHin at the opening OF the

FIFTY MILES CUT
: OFF OF HUN LINES
RECENT VICTORIES HAVE SHORT.
ENE0 WESTERN FRONT.
80 AMERICAN DIVISIONS NOW
Fully Equipped and Ready For Ae-
ton in France-Big Task Yet Be-
fore the U. S. in Putting 4,ooo, 900
Across by June.

Washington, Aug. 21.- Thirty-two
complete organized American divis-
ions, around one million four hundred
thousand men, are now in France,
Chief of Staff General March an
nounced today. '.
March pointed out that to accom-
plish this remarkable task it took
many ships, and in the meantime to
keep up the present progress and eff
ficiency in the project of four million
men as is now planned by next June
the number of ships already on hands
will have to be more than doubled.
Hun Lines Are Shortened.
The emergency feet corporation is
doing "splendidly" to catch up, March
said, but there is a need of ships
which must cause a great increasing
production effort
The chief pointed out the signifi.
canoe of the fact that the general eff
fectiveness of the blows recently dealt
out to the &c, mans was for the pur-
pose of shortening the German lines
from the North Sea to Rheims which
as it now stands is less than two
hundred miles, thus being a reduction
of fifty miles during the past weeks
operations.
Young Men in Separate Glass.
Washington, Aug. 21.-The house
military committee today ordered
Chairman Dent to report the new man
power bill carrying an amendment of
putting men of eighteen and nineteen
years Of age in separate classified
tion and not calling them until all the
older men had been taken. The bill
will be reported favorably just as
soon as it can be printed which will
be either late this evening or tomor.

grand financial success.
We wish to thank all who help

From all reports we learn, this
section of Louisiana is going to be
one of the bes. for the cultivation
of rice, when the Atcbafalaya con-
nection is completed, assuring an
abundance of fresh water for irri-
CATION purpose. In view of this
fact, we believe it would be posi- :
bile for our rice planters to erect a
rice mill here, or to induce some
company to build a rice mill and
ware house here, which would he a
great advantage to the mill and
rice farmers.

The time remaining to pay poll
taxes is very limited, it is impor-
tant that all voters pay their poll
taxes this year if they want to par
ticipate in the elections during the
next two years. 1t is unfortunate
to note how many of our good citi-
zens disqualify themselves through
this neglect.
