The Third Phase.

On July 10 Ludendorff launched his
great offensive, which included a main
attack between Rheims and the Ar
gonne and a secondary attack to force
a crossing of the Marine and a move
eastward across the base of the Rheims
salient. The Third division, south OF
Chateau Thierry, was on the extreme
left of h allied line of attack. On, the
morning of this day some German
the advance elements of the Third di-
vision out of their trenches. Later in
the day they counter-attacked, ~regained
the lost ground and drove the Germans
eastward. But the main contribution
OF the Third division to this phase of
L~udendorff's offensive lay in maintain
ing its connection with the French
troops to the eastward, who were driven
from the bank of the Marine several
miles southwark. Skulful and gallant
fighting on the part 0f the Third divi-
sion prevented the Germans from open
ing a a In the allied line. This fight
ing took place on July Is, l6 and IL.
This marks the third phase.
Finally, on July Is, Foch delivered his
great counter offensive. The main blow
was struck by the French Moroccan di-
vision and the First and Second Ameri-
can divisions, emerging from the for
est of Nillers- Cotterets, a dozen miles
south of Scissors. Subsidiary attacks
were made by the 26th division which
advanced northeast from Belleau Wood,
and the Fifth division, which, was
broken up and intermingled with the
French troops.
This counter offensive was one of the
great successes of the war, In it the

Back of this action are the machi-

They believe they have been betrayed
and murder their former confederate,

ample of lawlessness brings about
strange complications in the lives Of
many people. Chief OF these are Ro-
land Van Dam tOwen Moore), a sight
seer mingling with the carnival crowds.
and Madelon Dorette (Hedda Nova),
a girl searching for her cousin-the
very man who was murdered.

cause Madelon TO believe that he killed
her cousin. Her love turns to hate
and she exerts herself to place him in
the power of the criminals. With every
thing against him and death inevitable.

a way that places Rex Beach among

payers and businessmen met in the
old Nenana club quarters in the Bow

of discussing plans for securing a
more equitable distribution of prop

Fighting of wrongs charged against
the Land and Industrial department
of the Alaskan Engineering COM
mission, as originally constituted.

ances of property owners, which had
been prepared in advance of the
meeting, was read and discussed at
length, and finally referred to a
committee of five for slight altera-
ton and amendment, along lines
suggested at the meeting, the plan
being to have the petition ready for
submission to the congressional COM
mittee when that body reached Ne
mana.

abandonment of the congressional
visit may necessitate a change Of
plans on the part of the taxpayers,
but it probably will not have the
effect of checking the movement

to deal directly with a congressional
committee, the desired relief doubt

LAWMAKERS NOT
ABLE TO LEAVE;
OTHERS COMING

Browne is in receipt of official ad
vices from Seattle announcing the
abandonment of the congressional
junket to Alaska. The information
was contained in a telegram re-
ceived this morning from Purchas-
ing Agent Dole, who was instructed
from Washington to advise the en-
gineers in charge of the three divi-
sions of the Alaskan railroad of the
change Of plans of the COMPRESSION
al committee.
The wire from Major Dole does
not contain any explanation, and
Mr. Browne has no idea why the
trip to Alaskan was Cancelled, unless
| it was made necessary by the devel-
opment of urgent business at the
national capital.
According to the original plans,
the congressional party was to have
| left Washington last Saturday, and
Seattle yesterday for the North.
Their intention was to make a brief
stay in the Anchorage and Seward
divisions and then come overland
to the Interior by way of the Broad
Pass trail. They were scheduled to
reach Indian River about August IT.
and would have arrived in Nenana
a few days later.
After all these arrangements had
been made, the departure from
Washington was postponed for a
week at the urgent request of Presi-
dent Wilson, who desired to present
important legislation for immediate
consideration. This legislation, pre-
sumably, has so engrossed the law
makers that they do not feel now
that they can leave the capital until
the questions have been disposed Of
Substitutes Coming.
Late this afternoon, Mr.. Browne
received a second wire, advising him
that a party Of railroad engineers,
executives and others, headed by
Assistant Secretary of the Interior
John W. Hallowell, would come to
Alaska in place Of the COMPRESSION
Ial committee. They are scheduled
to leave Washington on Saturday
night and will come north on the
steamer Alameda, leaving Seattle
August IA
The visitors will go to Seward
and Anchorage, but Mr.. Browne
idoes not believe they will make the
trip over the Broad Pass trail. If
they visit the Interior at all, they
will come in by boat, in which event
it will be late in the season before
they arrive.
/ The party is made up of the fol-
lowing: Assistant Secretary Halo
well and wife; Colonel Frederick
Mears, former commissioner, his
wife and four children; Alfred H.
Brooks, former head of the geo.
logical survey; Colonel George T.
Slade, of the Northern Pacific; S.
NJ. FELTON,, president of the Chicago
& Great Western; W. R. Budd, of
the Great Northern, and George H.
Gamble, who was in Nenana last
year with W. H. Ryan.
