VERDUN DRIVE
I Teutons Take Southern Part
of Fleury in New
Attack
TERRIFIC GUN DUEL
Other Attack Repulsed
French in All-Night
Fighting
by
PAIUS, Aug. 4.
The buttle of Verdun Is again raging
l with nil the fury that characterized Its In
ception lato In February.
The fighting Is especially violent cast of
the Mouso, whero tho Germans havo suc
ceeded In occupying tho southom part of
tho village of Fleury.
Tho French War Ofllce, In Its com
munique today, stated that German at
tacks wero mado alt night long against the
French positions on tho Floury-Thlau-mont
lines, but that all wero repulsed.
Dawn found the Crown Prince still hurl
In? his Gorman legions ngatnst tho French
positions, but tho 'assault broke to pieces
before tho Iron defense of tho French sol
diers. After occupying tho southern part of
Fleury. the Germans tried to Bweep Into
the northern end of the village but were
driven back by tho machine gun and rlflo
fire from tho battered houses, where tho
French had taken rcfugo and transformed
them Into fortresses.
Infantry ranks were surging forward
back and forth around Floury nnd a great
duel was In progress on tho lino of Cha
pltre and Chenols woods. Tho War Ofllco
characterized this duel with big guns as
being particularly severe.
The text of tho official communlquo fol
lows: On tho right of tho bank Mouso thero
wero battles on tho Thlaumont-FIoury '
front, which tho Germans attacked all
night with extreme violence. Nu
merous counter-attacks with great
forces against our positions on tho
edge of the Thlaumont work wero re
pulsed with serious losses for the en
emy. Our troops in tho courso of tho
battle succeeded in capturing a work
which was evacuated under a. powerful
bombardment, bringing back 80 pris
oners takcp by us In that action.
In the region of Fleury the combats
have been no less violent. The Ger
mans have multiplied tholr counter
attacks against tho village, each pro-
ceded by an intenso artillery prepara
tion. After many unsuccessful at
tacks, tho Germans gained a foothold
in the southern section of Fleury,
where tho combat continues very vio
lent. All efforts Wo dislodge us from
the station situated east on the village
were shattered by tho resistance of our
troops.
Tho oncmy llkowlao attacked during
tho night our new' positions, east of
Vacherauvllle. Ho succeeded only In
suffering heavy losses. In the region
of Vaux-Chapltrc and Le Chenols there
was a very sharp artillery duel.
In the Vosges at 10 p, m. yesterday
the enemy launched on the Chapelotte
salient an attack which was shattered
before it was ablo to reach our lines.
Tho night was comparatively calm on
the rest of the front.
On the night of August 3 one of our
air squadrons dropped 80 shells of large
calibre on the railway Btatlon nt Noyon
and on a munition factory. Fifty shells
were thrown by another squadron on
railway stations and camps of the en
emy In the Sommo region.

TWO FIRMS TO REFUND
TAX ON COAL; OTHERS
WON'T DISCUSS RETURN
Questions as to What Most
Dealers Will Do Met
by Refusal to
Reply
2io TO 10 CENTS BACK A TON
J, W. Mason, president of the Mason
Scholes Cola Company, nnd also of tho
Mason-Heflln Coal Company, both In Ken
sington, nnnounced today that his company
would pay back to customers tho State coal
tax, which was declared an unconstitutional
levy some months ngo. The company Is tho
first in Philadelphia to make the refund.
' Asked today If he was to be tho exception
or the rule among coal dealers In refunding
the tax, Mr. Mason said:
"Mason has been damned by every big
coal dealer In Philadelphia, but I'm In the
habit of doing what I think Is rlsht."
Some of the biggest coal dealers In the
city wero queried today about what action
they would take In regard to the repayment
to their customers. Georgo B. Newton &
Co., at 1427 Chestnut street, which building
also houses some of the biggest dealers In
the city, such men as George W. Edmonds,
Samuel B. Crowell and other such big coal
merchants, would give no Information when
the EvE.vwa Ledokh asked.
The Bell Coal Company Insisted It had
never charged the tax. The John A. Gerety
Coal Company in West Philadelphia insisted
It had never charged the tax.
It will be remembered that the price of
coal went up uniformly when the tax law
was paused.
Mr. Mason said he understood all the
wholesalers were returning the tax to the
retailers, and it was up to the retailers
to play fair with their customers. He
said he expected to make a refund In about
3000 or 4000 individual cases, but couldn't
approximate how much money that would
be. The reason for the delay, he said, had
been because he had to wait until the
money came back from the wholesaler.
He has just received a check from the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, and
Is now preparing to distribute it to his
customers. The money he got some time
ago from the Beading Coal nnd Iron Com
pany will go out at the same time.
So far he is the only Phlladelphlan known
to make his refund. In Glenslde Frank G.
Justice announced the other day he was
making a return to his customers, and A. It
Nicholson in Wyncote is preparing to do
It today. He Just got his check from the
Lehigh Company last night.
Mr. Nicholson said he thought every
hdusehplder could compel the big retail com
panies to return the tax charge if they
cared to fight for It. He pointed out that
maybe the coal companies didn't charge
for tHe tax specifically, but that when the
price of coal went up that was figured In,
and in the end the consumer paia me tax.
not the retailer. That Is why he thinks
the "consumer should get It back. Otherwise
It means an unfair profit to the retailer, he
said.
The return to the consumer will vary
from two and one half to ten cents per
ton. The tax was SH per cent of the cost
of the coal at the mine.

"Dictator" Asserts Empire Now

By CABL "W. ACKERMAN
BERLIN, Auff. 4.
Germany enters the third year of the
war with enough food supplies to carry
her through at least two more years, de
Bplte the allied blockade, Food Dictator
Adolph von Batockl told me today.
The food crisis nas passed," said
Batockl. "The harvest is so good, equal
ing the average in peace times, and every
thing is so welt organized that we begin
the year with a surplus enabling us to
hold out for a fourth, even a fifth year,
counting on thf next crops. From the food
standpoint Germany la now independent
of the blockade.
"Despite silly rumors there is no star
vation in Germapy. There have been no
riots in which women were mowed down
with, machine-guns."
The harvests in Poland, Belgium, north
ern France and other territories occupied
by the German army will be sufficient for
the civilian populations, Batockl believes.
