,.,..,, . NEW YOHK. Aug. 16.
Bull pool, and bear clique, made th. Stock Exchange floor a battle ground all
throush the day. Sometimes the bull combinations were able to advance the low
,rct stock-., like Great Northern Ore and Distillers' Securities, while the bear
ellques found weak spots in a number of other Industrials and In several of the
Mllway Issues. They picked out New Haven early In the morning and made that
stock drop 2 points to the new-low record of 32H, and then turned their attention
to New Tork Central, which they forced down more than 1 point.
Allen nyan seemed to have charge of the bull efforts In Distillers' Securities.
Which was forced up to 30, but when some long stocks appeared the price
Ollekly fell back to 29. Sethlehtm Steel was subjected to concentrated boar
selllnr. with wme of those active in putting out shorts talking about dlscrlmlna
tlon by the Government against Charles M. Schwab. There was liquidation by
Housman Spencer Trask Interests In both Central Leather and American Beet
BUfr. some large operators apparently being disposed to turn their holding
Of those stocks Into cash.
f Outside of this supply nearly all the business on the boardroom noor was
of a professional character throughout the day, and the changes In prices Indicated
simply the shifting of position of the professional speculative element or the
temporary success. of the various compensations.
' There was active trading in Missouri Pacific 4s. with those bonds selling
down to 68 In the forenoon. Son Francisco Incomes continued strong, advancing
to 62. Other bonds were steady.
AIRPLANE STOCKS ACT LIKE
SUBMARINES ON NEW YORK CURB
i .
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.
According to brokers' views the airplane stocks acted like submarines in to
day's trading on the Broad Street Curb. Dealings In Wright-Martin were on a
Urge scale, with many, who had bought on the,, recent advance, showing an
uneasiness over the war news and pressing their shares on the market. This
resulted In the price falling from 11 to 10, with a rally later in the day. The
weakness in the stock may be comprehended by recalling that only a short time
ago It was In urgent demand at 17. Curtlsa Aeroplane was also in supply at con
cessions, and its' price Is now at a far lower level than prevailed a couplo of
weeks ago.
The mining group was active, with strength shown In a number of Issues.
Importance was attached to the development on the Emma Consolidated Mine
because of the assays showing rloh silver contracts.
Recent settlements by assayera have been on the basis of 82 cents for
silver. Official announcement was made that at an Informal meeting of tho Milford
Mining Company the payment of 5 per cent dividends was favorably considered
and formal actlonvwould be taken in a short time.
Independent oil stocks responded to the advances in the price of crude oil, with
moderate gains, but price movements generally were narrow.
Aetna Kxploslvea was weak, declining from 6 to 6'i.

The attack began nt 4:25 o'clock. Hill
No. 70 wan bombarded with Runs nf nil

(Serman defenses on the crest. When tho
Ilrltlsh begun their barrage llro many Ger

Tho extreme depth reached In tho flist

In ninety-three minutes. Tho new front,
taken In conjunction with positions secured
In the last few days In the southwestern
outskirts of Lens, established nn nngular

reach out north and south of tho city.

Over this field of death, which broadened
today to the Ypres region, the keenest
warfare la In progress In the air. The
German airmen have been ordered to get
the rango of British guns and glvo It to
their own artillery or die In the attempt.
As a result of these orders, the German
airmen have been flying over the British
lines nt unusually low elevations. The
Canadians and British have been equally
daring. They charge the German machines
at their every nppcaranco nnd while the
conflicts are raging on tho earth, others
for control of the air are In progress above.
Field Marshal Halg is now keeping Crown
Prince Ilupprccht guessing, With the at
tacks he has made in the last twenty-four
hours ho has shifted about as would a boxer
In the ring, wearing down his opponent ami
worrying him llrst by playing for the head,
then feinting nnd shifting to the body.
Tho enemy is still desperately clinging to
Lens The Canadians completely domlnato
the coal city, and every move of the Ger.
mans there costs them heavily. After the
repeated counter-asBaults of last night,
during which picked German troops wero
slaughtered, It was apparent that Prince
Rupprecht's men were utterly discouraged
and the attacks were oroueii un.
LONDON, Aug. is.
Field Marshal Halg struck again today
this time In Belgium, north of Ypres.
At 4:45 this morning tho British and
French attacked on 'a wide front. Heavy
fighting was reported, but progress was
being made at all points In spite of stub,
born resistance by the enemy, the British
commander stated.
The attack was on tho line running to
tho east and north of Ypres, where bitter
fighting took place In the first recent as
sault In Flanders.
LENS POSITIONS HELD
The Canadians today still held the posi
tions dominating Lens, which were taken
yesterday, despite strong German counter
attacks during the night,
Attempts of the Germans to regain Hill
70 and other Important positions continued
during the night, Halg reported, but all
were repulsed. . ,.
The capture of this German stronghold
adds another chapter to the war heroism
of the Canadians. In the flrBt stage of their
offensive they met with comparatively
small opposition. As they advanced into
the environs of the mining city, the Ger
mans Btlffened their defense and began
to offer determined resistance. .

Attacking in concert with tho British,
French troops today attained all objectives
In a strong assault against tho German
lines In Flanders.
In onn i-cctloti nn entire trench system
was captured on n kilometer front. Four
German counter-attacks wero thrown back,
and the French held nil their gains.
"After violent and tnlmito artillery prep
aration, tho French launched an attack nt
daybreak, In conjunction with tho British
right," tho War Office announced
"Our Infantry Irresistibly rushed the en
emy positions on both sides of the fiteen-
Mraato-Dlxmudo road and carried all ob
jectives. "Crossing the Stcensbeek, the French
progressed with tho British to tho right
bank South of Allies wo vlgoroUHly at
tacked on n kilometer front and carried a
solid trench system. Wo easily threw buck
four German counter-attacks, taking 120
prisoners, including nn officer"
Near Hurteblso tho French advanced,
taking soino pilsoners, the statement con
tinued. Artillery was nctlvo on both banks
of the Mouse. A successful raid was car
ried out at Louvjont.
Desplto bad weather. French aviators
took an active part In tho offensive, accom
panying tho Infantry, flying low nnd raking
tho enemy with their lire.
During tho night and morning enemy en
