BRITISH ARMY BLASTS
THROUGH DIFFICULT
GROUND IN NEW PUSH
[Continued from First Page.]
Eonnebeke. Southwest of Anzac is
Nun's wood, and just east of this Is
the famous forest known as Polygon
wood. When the British in August
fought their way forward to Polygon
wood they found Nun's wood so
flooded that they were forced to go
around It and the ground here still
presents great difficulties to the
movement of troops because of its
swampv condition. Nuns wood
merges' into Glencorse wood on the
south and a little farther down and
astride the Ypres-Mentn highway Is
Inverness copse of undying fame.
Between Glencorse wood and Inver
ness is an open stretch of solid
ground of some 400 yards and here
on the Fltzclarence farm the Ger
mans had built great steel and con
crete redoubts whose machine guns
dominated the southern part of Glen
corse wood and the northern section
of Inverness.
Difficult Ground
Below Inverness are Dumbarton
lakes and the ground about them Is
pitted with shell craters which are
filled with water. The paths and
trenches here were by ar
tillery Are and the shell lioles are so
close together that there Is no space
to walk around them. In most places
the mud and water are knee-deep.
Still farther south is Shrewsbury for
est. through which the British line
EFFICIENCY IS THE
WATCHWORD TODAY
Just How Efficient Are
You?
Don't let yourself run down, dont
let your kidneys and liver get clog
ged tip and poison your body.
Don't neglect that tired feeling. It
Is nature's warning to you; heed it.
take care of it to-day. it mny kee£
you from getting sick.
Do you know when your stomach
is acting right, when your food
agrees with you and proper assim
ilation takes place; as a general
thing, you are pretty well fortified
■against the inroads of disease.
Xo man can be 100 per cent, effi
cient with a disordered digestive
tract.
Xo man is wanted to-day unle.ss he
is efficient, we are too busy, and the
Inefficient man soon drops by the
wayside. If your stomach is not
right, you will have poor digestion
and assimilation, and this paves the
way for impaired vitality and poor
nerve force.
Investigate your condition; read
what Sanpan is doing every day
right here in Harrisburg, read the
local testimonials, and recollect they
are the reports of our neighbors who
have been restored.
Sanpan is not a cure all, it is a
non-alcoholic result giving medicine,
truly called the Samson of medi
cines.
Sanpan is being introduced at Kel

ran, and the ground In front of the
British trenches is a mass of tangled
barbed wire. Jusl below Shrewsbury
forest Is Belgian wood, which lies
near HollebeJce. There are many
other little bits of forest scattered
through this section, most of them
in marshy ground which was ren
dered still more difficult by the de
vastation wrought by shells.
Between Hollebeke and the river
Lys the country Is more or less open
and it is dominated by Messines.
Xorth of the Ypres-Roulers railway
the country presents the same diffi
culties from marshy ground, al
though there are a few wooded
stretches.
Giwit Artillery Fire
The British began intense ar
tillery preparation with guns of all
caliber about a week ago and this
continued with unabatlng fury until
t-day. Counter battery work resulted
in a large number of German guns
being silenced and many enemy am
munition dumps near batteries were
blown up by shell tire. The entire
front over which the attack was to
be made was searched out by high
explosives and as an addlUonal pre
caution the British gunners kept put.
ting down a heavy barrage lire, first
in one place and then in another, and
sweeping the whole country before
them. •
The German guns, of course, have
not been silent, but their tire was
comparatively weak. All this ar
tillery preparation by the British was
vital if there was to be hope of suc
cess, for they had tested the strength
of this front before and knew that
their infantry faced a task that
would try their mettle to the fullest.
In previous attacks the shell hole
warfare conducted by the Germans
in this region has proved a grave em
barrassment and it was only by a
bombardment such as was conducted
that they could wipe out these con
cealed positions. It was Impossible
that the Germans should not have
known that an offensive was being
prepared, but it appears from state
ments by prisoners that there was
much doubt as to the exact positions
where the British would strike. For
the past fortnight the policy of the
Germans has been one of Inaction,
although thc-y undoubtedly made
every effort to improve their po
sitions since the offensive In August.
The lone frame buildings which are to serve as barracks and
for other purposes of the camp are rising rapidly that there may
be no delay in their use when the remainer of the contingents
arrive. More than three hundred boys from Dauphin county and
as many more from surrounding counties spent their first night
here, last night.

information about the siie of their I
farm. Many of the farmers were ]
evasive In their answers and In many j
instances it was found that false j
statements had been made. The ap
peal board is of the opinion that the !
majority of the men drafted from
this district can bo spared from the'
farms and this opinion was formed i
after careful investigation on all
sides of the question.
The headquarters of the appeal
board is a busy place these days. The
clerks are busily engaged in itemiz- |
ing tho results of the work of the
board at its previous sessions, and
returning to the local boards of the
district the names that have been
certified. The magnitude of the work
is not fully realized by the majority
of the people. The details require no
end of work and the least mistake ]
may set tho action of the board back )
considerable. Accuracy is the art I
most required. The district board of j
the Middle Judicial district is rap-:
idly getting the situation under per- j
feet control, and things are expected j
to move smoothly so that in a short |
time all the local boards will have j
their full quota certified.
Have "Weak Knees"
Many humorous claims for ex-1
emption have been brought to light j
by the investigation of the Appeal;
Board. To-day two young men from J
Fulton county reported that they [
were the victims of a strange disease;
known as weak knees. The young'
men stated that irf view of this factj
it was impossible for them to do their l
full duty for Uncle Sam. In view of]
the facts that were stated the opin-j
ion has been expressed that the ail
ment of the young men extended rol
extremities lower than the knees, and
had affected their feet in a cold man-!
ner.
Another young man from Adams
county made the most peculiar claim
that has been received by the ap- j
peal board. In his claim he said:
"At one time in my life I was un
conscious from a Tuesday night until j
Wednesday morning." This state- j
ment comprised his main reason for !
not wanting to go to war. It was re-:
fused.
Pail to Show T*p
Since the departure of the first 1
contingent from districts one and!
two of Dauphin county, the exemp-l
tlon headquarters of the Steelton and j
Paxtang boards have been more or
less deserted. The members of the:

|to Caihp Meade yesterday and did
not return until to-day. This morn
i ing at tho Steelton boord It was re
! ported that there were no more!
I slackers among those that were ex
| pected to depart yesterday. How
! ever the examination of Wednesday
| resulted In a very poor showing. Of
the ninety odd men that were called
I twenty-one failed to show up. Mostj
of these men are either colored or ;
foreigners. Their names were listed
at once and sent to the police head
quarters and for the next few days
i the board will In all probability be
busy examining the men as they are
brought In by the police. Of the sixty
seven men that were examined Wed
! nesday, seventeen were discharged
I and fifty-two passed. The number
that claimed or did riot claim exemp
tion could not bo learned. Reports
from Camp Meade state that the
Steelton boys were all well and
happy, having made the trip in
splendid shape.
The Paxtang board is making
I ready to resume examinations next
| Monday morning. A fifth call of
J 300 more men hps been made and
j the first fifty will appear on that day.
i Fifty each day will be the order UII
j til the full number has been exam
j Ined. The Paxtang boys reached
| Camp Meade yesterday afternoon
| safe and sound. Very few Incidents
occurred on the way. The boys were
! put through a scrutiny test imme
i diately on their arrival at the camp
j and to-day are going through rhe
physical examination. The Ellza
| bethville boys who reached the camp
on Wednesday were suffering from
! sore arms yesterday. They were in-
I uculated after reaching the camp as
i great precaution is being taken
i against any contagious disease.
Man Called is Dead
j Lloyd W. Balsbaugh, one of the
| men called by the Paxtang board In
I Its latest summons to 300 men. was
; drowned near Goldsboro early in
July while trying to save his fiancee
' from death in the river. He was em
: ployed at a store in Steelton and
! made his home in Hershey.

with machlneguns until it was taken,
Strong resistance was encountered
at a redoubt on the Ypres-Rotileri
railway west of Zonnebeke. Thll
redoubt is a massive concrete steep
structure and it withstood all of th
shell fire poured against it. Th
British advanced on two sides and
stormed the place with bombs until
its occupants raised the white flag,
Similar tactics resulted In the fall oj
another great stronghold northeast
of Westhoek.
Casualties Tight
The British casualties so far re
ported are exceptionally light, th
majority being due to machinegun
fire. British airplanes again dominat
ed the air. They were thick over th
lino of the British advance and car
ried on a vigorous warfare back ol
the German positions where tons oi
high explosive bombs were dropped,
German machines were" far less ac
tive. A large number of prisoners al*
ready have been brought In but It la
impossible to give an accurate esti
mate of the total.
Heavy fighting along this front 14
expected to follow to-day's attack,
because it is certain that the Ger
mans will not relinquish these posi
tions without a bitter struggle. Air
pilots report that the roads back of
the German lines are tilled with
troops being rushed up for a counter
attack, but this is a pleasing feature
to the British artillerymen, who ex
press the desire for nothing better
than to get as many Germans as pos
sible out in the open where their
shells will reach them.
