.ENGLISH GOAST IS
RAIDED FROM AIR;
BEGIN NEW BATTLE
Invading Aerial Squadron Bombs Important Naval Base of Dover; Two Airplanes
Shot Down by British in Repelling Attack; British Begin New Operation Against
German Trenches North of Ypres; Italians Surge Forward in Greatest Assault
They Have Yet Delivered Against the Austrians
By Associated Press
Another of the rapid succession of blows which the British and French are striking at various
points along the Franco-Belgian front fell this morning on the Germans in the region of Ypres
where the British were held up last week in their drive in conjunction with the French forces to
the North. At dawn the British advanced over the fiercely contested field between Langcmarck
and Frezenberg. No details have been received thus far of the new battle which is being fought
over a section strongly organized by the Germans with concrete redoubts and machine gun
nests in shell holes.
The importance of these positions is shown by the desperate counterattacks last week by the
Germans aftgr the Irish troops had made considerable headway. Massing great numbers of men
the Germans drove back the Irish after one of the most bitter local engagements of the year.
Two air raids over England have been made in the last twenty-four hours. Early to-day ten
German airplanes approached the Kentish coast and although they were unable to penetrate
far inland,-dropped bombs on the important channel port of Dover. Two of the planes were
brought down. Three persons were killed and two injured by bombs. Evidently an attempt to
reach London was expected, as a warning was sounded in the city.
Several airships visited the Yorkshire coast in the north of England during the night. * Only
slight damage was inflicted. Bombs were dropped at the mouth of the Humber.
IRISH DIE LIKE
HEROES IN FACE
OF TERRIBLE FIRE
Great Attack on Teuton Line
One of Most Remark
able in History
By Associated Press
British Front in France and Bel
gium, Aus:. 22. —The story of the
valiant fight waged by Irish bat
talions, both Ulstermen and South
of Ireland men, in the latest British
offensive northeast of Ypres forms
one of the most remarkable pages in
the history of this sanguinary battle.
As was the case with intrepid Bon
doners in the Polygon Wood to the
south, they did not achieve the suc
cess which they sought, hut the
struggle they made against over
whelming odds will make their
names immortal in Irish annals.

Germans Begin New
Offensive in Russia
to Get Port of Riga
By Associated Press
Bondon. Aug. 22.—The Germans
have opened an offensive on the ex
treme northern end of the Russian
front. They struck between the river
Aa and the Tirul marshes, a belt of
lowlands between the Aa and the
Dvina. Petrograd reports initial suc
cesses for the Germans, who com
pelled the Russians to withdraw as'
much as two miles at some points.
If the fighting now under way de
velops into a sustained attack the
first objective of the Germans un
doubtedly will be the important Rus
sian port of Riga. Possession of this
city would be of immense advantage
to the Germans in land or sea opera
tions against the Russian northern
flank and they have made determined
attempts to obtain it. At the conclu
sion of the great Austro-German of
fensive in 1915 the Germans were held
up on the Riga-Dvinsk line and since
that time there has been little change
in this sector.

ITALIANS STRIKE
THEIR HEAVIEST
BLOW IN WAR
Offensive Against Austrians
on Greater Scale Than
Any Previous One
By Associated Press
Rome, Aug. 22.—More than
13,000 Au>tro-'Hiiii£iiriaii prison
ers have been captured by the
Italians in their offensive on the
Ison/.o front, the Italian depart
ment announced to-day. The
Italians also have taken thirty
guns.
General Car dona reports that
tlie Italians have gained new
successes along: the whole battle
line. North of Uorizia the op
erations are proceeding regu
larly. To the south the struggle
is localizing, especially on the
Car so front.
Rome, Aug. 22. —The present Ital
ian offensive is on a greater scale
than any previous one. New features
were the shortening of the usual
period of artillery preparation
which lasted only twenty-four hours
but was so arranged that beginning
lightly, it increased steadily and
rapidly until a hurricane of shells
was falling. Then when it suddenly
ceased a squadron of airplanes flew
in advance of the assaulting troops
forming the first line using their ma
chine guns on the Austrians at short
range. Many prisoners were made
deaf by the violence of the detona
tions.
Desperate Battling Marks
Fighting Between Germans
and Canadians at Lens
By Associated Press •
British Front in France and Bel
gium, Aug. 22.—The British began
another operation northeast of Ypres
at dawn to-day on the battle-scarred
ground between Bangemarck and
rrezenberg. Meanwhile the conflict
continued about Bens, though appar
ently greatly diminished in intensity
with the Canadians still holding the
(icrmans off from the positions
which they had gained in the south
western part of the city yesterday,
and at the same time clinging ten
aciously to the numerous new posts
in the German line on the north
western section.
Fierce hand-to-hand fighting con
tinued late into the night, especially
in the northwestern portion which
lies between the Germans and Hill
<O. The Germans continued to fling
heavy counterattacks against the Ca
nadians and the battle surged back
and forth amid the ruined build
ings and trenches.
This morning the advantages rest
fu " le British and nowhere had
the Germans been able to reach the
lines from which the Canadians be-
Kan their offensive yesterday morn
lng.
It now appears from the state
ments of German prisoners that the
German counterattacks at dawn yes
terday which by a strange coinci
dence began at the same hour as
that or the Canadian attack, was pre
liminary to a general counterattack
which had as its object the recovery
of Hill 70 possession of which is
necessary if the Germans are to con
tinue their hold on Bens.
Barge numbers of troops had been
massed for this attack and these
were used freely in the sanguinary
struggle of yesterday and last night.

MANAGER HOPKINS ESCAPES
BUT BY NARROWEST
The Sons of Rest, since a hard
hearted contracting firm closed the
sight-seeing apertures in the fence
around the Penn-Ha~ris cellar, have
been confined to the hole through
which loaded wagons make their exit;
and to the alley in the rear of the lot.
It was mighty warm around the op
eration yesterday about 1.30. The few
Sons of Rest who were on the Job
were sweating copiously.
Along about this time Manager
Hopkins of the Majestic Theater had
an idea. He was particularly well
pleased with the bill and he decided
to ask the Sons of Rest to come inside
out of the heat. Seizing a handful of
passes he made his way to the Penn-
Harris fence.
"Say." he said to an individual who
was all perspiring, "your name is
John Newton, isn't it?'
"Nope," replied the perspiring one.
"Aren't you one of these here, now.
Sons of Rest?" persisted the Majestic
manager.
SECOND DRAFT
MAY BE DELAYED
UNTIL SPRING
Country Said to Be Unable to
Care For More Men
Now
By Associated Pre's
Washington, Aug. 22.—A full
statistical, report on the operations
of the draft law will be prepared
by the provost marshal general's of
fice as soon as the mobilization of
the first increment of 687,000 men
of the National Army has been
completed some time early in Octo
ber.
Pending the preparation of the re
port and careful ar ilysis of the
conditions it discloses, ,no steps to
ward calling a second Increment to
the colors will be taken.
General Crowdcr Raid to-day that
the call for the second increment
never had been considered at any
conference at which he was present
and that he had no indication that it
had been taken up in any way by
President Wilson or Secretary Baker.
The first increment will fill the
sixteen National Guard camps and
the sixteen National Army canton
ments, and there will be a surplus
of men besides these assigried to the
regular army. The regulars are now
12,000 above full authorized war
strength by voluntary enlistment and
the National Guard is in a similar
situation.
I.ok Facilities
Training facilities already are
taxed to make ready for the men
now available and it is regarded as
very unlikely that organization of an
additional 500,000 men of the Na
tional Army can be begun until the
early spring of 1918. Neither quar
ters nor personnel to train the force
will be available before that time.
It is possible that some provision
will be made whereby all the sons of
one family will not be taken. A new
definition of the status of married
men may be one of the things acted
upon. President Wilson's recent let
ter to Senator Weeks is taken by
many to indicate a feeling that a
more liberal policy may be found
desirable at present under regula
tions, a condition of actual depend
ency must be established to obtain
exemption.
The condition of marriage in It
self is not considered.
Another matter to be worked out
is the status of aliens.
Still another is the status of men
who have passed beyond draft age
since being drafted and that of those
who have become of draft age in
the meantimq.
MAY STOP SMOKING
By Associated Press
Amsterdam, Aug. 22. According
to Die Morgenpost. of Berlin, the po
lice in Germany intend to prohibit
smoking In the streets In view of the
decline of tobacco stocks. The pro
hibition will be extended to the whole
of Germany.
The reply was astonishing. The
sigheseei swore for several minutes
without repeating himself. The thea
ter manager drew back a pace or
two and the warrior followed him.
Animadversions of a harsh nature
were cost about by the angry man.
"Dadblame you," he said, "don't you
call me no loafer. Don't you go in
sulting me. saying that I'm one of
those dadblame Sons of Rest, dad
blame your dadblame hide. I won't
stand for it. I'm a worktng man, 1
am, and if I want to stand here a
minute or two it's none of your dad
blame business.
Bona fide members of the Ancient
Order who were waiting feverishly
for the passes Manager Hopkins had
in his hand endeavored to calm the
near rioter. He absolutely refused to
bo calmed. Not until the theater man
ager explained that no harm was In
tended did the man with the black
smith build quiet down.
The'manager will be at the hole in
the wooden wall at 1.30 to-morrow aft
ernoon with another handful of passes
for Sons of Rest.

Wireless Calls For Aid
Records Thrilling Sea
Tragedy and Battle
By Associated Press
An Atlantic Port, Aug. 22.—A suc
cession of wireless calls telling the
story of a sea tragedy of which an
unknown steamship was the victim
of a German submarine are recorded
in the log of a neutral steamer which
has arrived here from a Scandi
navian port.
The calls were recorded while the
neutral vessel was passing close to
the Irish coast on her way to this
port, and begin with the interna
tional "S. O. S." followed by the
message:
"We are being chased by a sub
marine."
Ten minutes later, the log shows,
the following was heard:
"Hurry assistance, we are being
Bhelled."
A lapse of fifteen minutes follows,
then the entry:
"Ship is on fire and sinking, cap
tain ordered men to lifeboats."
Five minutes later came the final
message through the air:
"We are done for," giving also the
position of the ship.
The neutral vessel, forbidden by
regulations to go to the rescue re
layed the call and In about twenty
minutes picked up a radio from an
American destroyer reading:
"We will reach you in one hour."
