The Clinton News Record, 1916-08-24, Page 3FRENCH OFFENSIVE ON SOMME•
SHOWS MASTERLY PRECiSION
Steady Gains Being Made While Loses in Operations Have Been
Reduced to MiniMulu.
If
' A despatch from Peri; Says: ---"The
operations on the Bomme on Wednes-
day were merely a detail of the offen-
sive and of only local bearing," a
high military officer explained to th6
Associated Press, "but signifieance is
derived from the fact that the Ger-
mans did not counter-attack as usual.
Never before have they failed to re-
act when successfully attacked, and
their failure to do so in this ease is
either 'a sign of weakness, or, more
likely, because of cmdusion of orders.
"The precision with which the
French offensive has been carried out
is shown by the fact that every ob-
• jective designated M advance of an
action has been reached. At Maure-
pas a "Certain number -of houses were
selected, and every one of them was
captured and occupied; it never was
• intended to attempt the occupation of
the entire village. •
"One consequence of this precision
in. the Frenth operations is the reduc-
tion of losses to a miniminn. The
operation in Artois and in Cham-
pagne cost five times more than all
the ground gained on the Somme.
The purpose is to destroy the German
forces, and the Franco -British defen-
sive also has accomplished the feat of
holding on the western front the
gfeater possible portion of the Ger-
man forces.
"It is fallacious to •figure out the
probable daration of hostilities on
French soil by computing the average
surfaee of ground gained per day.
Every time an action takes place,,
even though the gain may be no
more than a hundred yards or soi
the opposition is beaten. He loses
heavily and the weakening moral ef-
fect cannot be measured in yards. It
is a cumulative effect which sooner or
later will wear the enemy down so
that he will be unable to hold the
French gains to a few hundred
yards." .
• SUBMARINE WARFARE RESUMED
AGAINST MERCHANT SHIPS
Campaign Follows German Note to the United States Respecting
Boats Carrying Guns.
A 'despatch from Paris says: -Ger-
many's submarine warfare against
merchant ships is again in full swing,
according to the, naval expert of the
Paris Temps. The temps declares
that this new submarine campaign
follows the German note to the United
Stietes of Feb. 10, in which it was
said; "Merchant ships carrying guns
cannot be considered as peaceful
ships." Accurhg to/the Temps, the
Germans are novs lue under this
notice, and ib says that three days
ago the Italian ship Plata repulsed
with gunfire attacks of an enemy sub-
marine. The article concludes with
an emphatic declaration that a simil-
iar course will be followed by other
commanders of allied merchant ships,
undismayed by "the murder of Capt.
Fryatt."
GERMANS FLED
IN FACE OF FIRE
Losses in Counter -Attacks on
• the Somme Described
as Enormous.
A despatch from' London says: The
nightly despatch from British head-
quarters • on the Somme front de-
scribes the sanguinary defeat of pow-
erful German counter-attaeks on
Thursday. In one of these attacks
, the Germans advanced six deep, Ini
were taken under so heavy a fire that
they fled in retreat before even readi-
ng the British lines. Them losses
are described as enormous.
General Haig also announces the
seizure of a 100 -yard trench eorth-
west of Bazentin-le-Petit at the -prove
of the British advance toward the
Martinpuich heights. Counter-attacics
delivered from the latter region, he
asserts, were unsuccessful.
The French announce that they
epent the day in consolidating the
captured ground, while General Haig
reports the further penetration for
000 yards of the German front west
of the High Wood.
RUSSIANS READY
FOR NEW DRIVE
Troops on Central Portion of
Front Are Splendidly
EquipPed.
A despatch from the Russian
Armies on the Central Russian front,
says: Tho continued success of Gen-
eral Brussiloff's two powerful move-
s, which gradually are envelop-
ing Revel and Lemberg, have begun
t to have a marked effect on the situa-
tion in the central portion of the
front which, except for small Russian
gains in the lake region of Dvinsk,
has remained virtually unaltered
siece the Russians fell back last Au-
gust to the line from Dvinsic to the
Pinsk marshes. The Austrian line
now has receded so far before the re-
peated thrusts of the south-western
Russian forces in Southern Poland
and Galicia that the Germans are in
danger of a flanking movement from
the south and the automatic retire-
ment of the forces opposed to the
Russian centre.
Despite the desultory bursts of ac-
tivity at various points Russian offi-
cers say there are many indications
that the Germans are prepared to
abandon their present line on this
part of the front at any moment.

A despatch from,Quebec says: The
Quebec District Council of Federated

Tuesday night decided to petition the
Right Hon, Premier Borden, asking
his Government to fix a maximum
price for the sale of meat, potatoes,
bread and all everyday life neces-
sities. The prices lately have been
on a constant soar in the district,
while the wages have not kept pace
with the cost of living.

A despatch from Ottawa says:
Prof. A. Megill, chairman of the
Grain Commission, and Mr. Staples,
of the same body, are in the capital
conferring with the Government rela-
tive to an important question which
has arisen in connection with the In-
terpretation of the Grain Act. The
issue is whether grain dealers are em-
powered to treat grain in storage
with them as their own. Hitherto
they have been doing this, selling the
grain and replacing it with other
grain of the same grade. The farm-
ers cleaim that they have no right to
do this, that they can move the grain,
but not sell it without authority, The
matter has been taken up with Hon.
Arthur Meighen, who, it is under-
stood, hag given his opinion in favor
of the farmers' contention, and has
been referred to the Justice Depart-
ment,

POISONING HORSES
INTENDED FOR BRITAIN
A des,pabeh from New York says:
-A plot to poison the big shipments
of horses from Kansas City for the
use ofthe British Government, is be-
ing investigated by secret service
operators of the Santa ,Fe Railroad
and other roads which trineport the
horses to Newport News, where they
embark for England. For more than
nsonth a great number of horses,
alffaugh leaving Kansas City in per-
fect condition, have been arriving at
Covington, Ky., the 'first stopping

horses a month are leaving the La-

over the Santa Fe Railway and the
work of the mysterious poisoner al-
ready has cost the British Govern-
ment more than $1.00,000.
BRITAIN MORE POTENT

A despatch from London says:
"Britain's honor is not dead, her

filled, her ideals unshattered by her
enemies," declared Secretary for
War Lloyd George, in addressing
Welsh singing societies at the Eisted-
dfod at Aberystwith on Thursday.
"Britain is more alive, more potent,
she has greater dominions, her influ-
ence is wider, her purpose deeper and
more exalted than ever. Why should
not her children sing?"
TREATY PROTECTS BIRDS.

A despatch frons Washington says:
A treaty between Great Britain and
the United States for the protection
of insect -destroying birds on both
sides of the Canadian boundary was
signed at the State Department on
Wednesday by Secretary of State
Lansing and Ambassador Spring -
Rice, The treaty is verse broad and
covers practically all kinds of bird
life. Its administration will be left
to local authorities. So far as it is
known, this is the first treaty of the
kind ever tigned.
TOE IN WHEN WALKING. '
Bad Feet Are Caused Through Toeing
Out.
Corns, ingrowing nails, crooked toeS,
bunion, spreading feet, arch trouble,
aching feet, are all ca,used by toeing
out while walking. It is not natural
for those who start with normal feet
to toe out,
It is natural to toe in, not far in, but
just inside of a line straight ahead.
All children toe in, nearly ail youths
toe in, Some people toe in all their
lives, but they are few. All barefooted
people toe in. All moccasined Indians
toe in. No one can run without toeing
in, Na speed eon be made without do.
ing so,
By toeing in, the spring of the foot
comes from all the small bones of the
front part of the foot. In addition, the
leverage that raises the body for the
next step with the other toot is short-
er when. it comes from all the toes,
than when it comes from the great
toe alone. The small bones and to
have more spring in them for their
Bete than the large toe has. When one
toes out he is trying to walk on the
inner side of the foot.

GERMAN LABORING CLASSES
ARE ON THE VERGE OF REVOLT
Authorities Endeavoring to Trace Some of Pamphlets Advocating
Peace at Any 'Price.
A despatch from Rotterdam says:
Throughout Germany the authorities
have their hands full confiscating and
trying to trace the source of pam-
phlets advocating peace at any price.
This symptom of revolt among a
large section of the people recently
assumed alarming proportione. A
few days ago there was a house-to-
house search in Berlin, resulting in
the arrests of an editor and printer
associated with the Socialist organiz-
ation. Strongest measures, however,,
failed to supprees this form of agita-
tion against war, which is so wide-
spread as to baffle the efforts of the
military and police. It is proof of
the existence of a great undercurrent
of diecontent which approaches re-
bellion among the working classes of
Germany.
„The well informed dceogne corre-
spondent of the Tyd writes;
"Complete removal of the censor-
ship may be expected shortly, as the
authorities can no longer oppose the
increasing stream of protests arid the
bitter agitation among the people.
The only result of the' Government's
measures of suppression is the ap-
pearance in succession of secretly
produced pamphlets distributed from
hand to hand, which are increasing
the prevailing unrest and the general
feeling of collapse. Removing the
censorship would be a safety valve,
for the feeling is now increasing in
bitterness among the laboring
classes."

A despatch from London says; Re,
plying to a question in the House of
.Commons on Wednesday, Premier As-
quith said the Government was deter-
mined that "this country will not
tolerate a resumption of diplotnatic
relations with Germany after the war
until reparation is made for the mur-
der of Capt. Fryatt. Some of our
allies," continued the Premier, "have
suffered by brutalities even more
gross and on a more extended scale
than ourselves by action of the Ger-
man authorities. We are in consult-
ation with them as to the best, most
effective steps to be taken and as to
what conditions should be expected in
the terms of peace to secure separa-
tion that will satisfy justice." A
member asked if the Government was
"prepared to make a statement that
Emperor William is wanted for 'wil-
ful murder in this case." No answer
was returned to this.
