The attacks extended from the Ancre river to Beaucourt to just north }f Moyenville. Some German field guns and 200 prisoners had been taken in the British drive at an early hour. Strike Along Dranoutre Ridge All the German outposts and posi tions along the important Dranoutre ridge, between Koudekot and the Locus Hospice have been attacked by the British. The result so far is not known. This front is in the Lys salient. Courcelles and Aehiet-le-Petit also Were captured in the British drive. Field Marshal Haig this morning also launched an offensive on a front of about 10,000 yards. The high contour between Adinfer and Moy enville was the northern zone of at tack and Puissieux-au-Mont the southern landmark of the front. The enemy here lately has beers withdrawing in order to increase the depth of his defenses. Capture Three Towns In the first hour of the offensive begun this morning by Field Mar shal Haig. the British troops cap tured the towns of Ablainexevelle, Beaucourt and Moyenville. After capturing Achiet-lc-Petit the British troops advanced another mile and a half to the east and reached Aichetle-Grand. Take Knomj by Surprise Although prisoners said the Ger mans had been expecting the attack for a week it was a tactical surprise. Tanks and infantry advanced through the heaviest fire at dawn. After a brief "crash" bombard ment, the British troops were upon the enemy almost before he knew it. Takes Bride-to-Be Taxi Ride of Half a Square Two colored couples* were licensed at the Courthouse this morning to wed and the benedict of one of the coupler nonchalantly told the mar riage license clerk that he thought "we might just as well get married here." The clerk referred them to Alder ir.in Murray, whose office is in Court a'ley. just back of the Courthouse, and loth seemed satisfied. As the couple left the Courthouse the big: col oied fellow haled a taxicab and he and Ins bride-to-be rode to the Alderman's office, less than a square away. ■ Soldier Falls With Rifle Still in Hand Hy Associated f'ress New Brighton.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, Fo< Recoils Before Smashing Haig Drive [Continued From Page One.] July 18 and north of Montdidier on August 8. A large number of tanks participated in the attack. Unofficial dispatches appear to indicate the British advance has carried the battle line up to a point three miles from Bapaume, an important highway center and a place reputed to be an im portant German base in the northern Picardy sector. Desperate Plight If the British drive continues to press the Germans back along the northern side of the Picardy salient, the enemy forces farther south would appear to be in a serious position. They are at present holding back the British and French along a line west of and parallel to the Somme and north of that river they have been desperately resisting allied attacks as far north as Albert. The new advance seems to have placed the northern section of the enemy's front in great danger. In the Flanders battle area the Germans also are under heavy pres sure. The British official report states that during the past night an attack was made from Festubert, just northwest of Lens, to the Luwe river, a distance of over four miles. The village of La Touret, at about the middle of this line, has been cap tured. This marks an advance of nearly a mile at this point. On the northern side of the Lys salient the British made a local at tack over a mile front near Locre this morning. The Important Dranoutre ridge has been wrested from the enemy and the Locre Hos French Add 8,000 to Big Bag of Captives Paris, Aug. 21—French troops continued their advance along the whole front between the Oise and the Aisne this morning. Carlepont and Cuts have been captured by the French, says to day's war office statement. After sharp fighting ground has been taken west of Lassigny by the French the statement says. The new French attack by General Mangin on a 25 kilometer front threatens, according to the latest reports, the fall of Noyon which slowly is being outflanked. The attack has overcome the carefully prepared positions of the enemy. The new offensive, it is believed here, will give the French com plete control of the valleys of the Oise, Ailette and Aisne in the quadrilateral of Ribecourt, Noyon, Bichancourt and Soissons. The strategy of General Mangin in first clearing the enemy's shield of machine guns before the big attack now forces the enemy to rely on picked divisions. General Mangin's advance toward the Oise is an important stroke in the view of military critics and constitutes a threat at the outflanking of Noyon from the east as well as a decided help to the army of General Humbert operating between the Metz and the Oise. The plan of Marshal Foch. the critics believe is aimed at con solidating the front of the armies of Mangin and Humbert and forcing the enemy to withdraw probably on a large scale. The Germans are striving to prevent this at all costs. In addition to the more than 8,000 prisoners captured Tuesday, General Mangin took numerous guns and a large amount of material. Old Mortgage Is Held Against Lawton Property Judge McCarrell has granted a rule; on the heirs of the late William Col- j der. requiring them to show cause i i why the Court should not strike from ; the records a $-1,600 mortgage which was entered on January 1. 1840, ; against a property at Thirteenth and Market streets, which at that time i was owned by Colder and which now s \ is owned by Elmer E. Lawton. of this j j city. it is believed that the mortgage was paid, but that the parties neglect- | 'ed to satisfy it on the records. The j Court hearing in the matter will be held on September 23. if the Colder ' heirs appear. However, if they do ; not interpose an objection, the Court ; will dispense with a hearing and mak>- ; an order forthwith to strike the mort- ! i gage from the records, Gawton's ap- | plication for the rule was presented j to Judge McCarrell at Eaglesmere di 1 Monday by Charles H. Bergner. and i the papers were Hied to-day in the j Courthouse. Expect Aid to Get to Czechs in Time Washington, Aug. 21. It was In k timated in Washington yesterday that assistance being sent to Czecho-Slavs pice, a group of buildings w.hich has been the scene of frequent and- ter rific fighting since April, has been attacked. Between the Aisne and the Oise. French troops continued their ad vance this morning. The progress made through the past two days seems to have placed in jeopardy the German lines east of Soissons and also about Noyon. According to the latest advices, the French now are on the high ridges to the northwest of Soissons and have positions which overlook and virtual ly dominate the German positions along the Oise to the east of Noyon. in the Kaikal region of Siberia will leach them in time to thwart the ef forts of the German-Austrian prison ers and the Kolsheviki against whom they are tighting. The Allies are send ing large quantities of arms and am munition to the Czechs, and heavy ar tillery is included in the supplies. It is not permitted to disclose from what source these supplies are being sent, but a high official in the State De partment said that this was a part of a bigger program now being worked out in a practical way to furnish the necessary aid.

CITY NOT "LAYING DOWPT ON WATER (Continued From First Page) been making no efforts to see that residents of the newly annexed ter ritory will get filtered water the same as is being supplied in the rest of Harrisburg. At an indignation meeting held in the Fourteenth ward last evening, the charges were aired for the first time. The voters of the district got togeth er there and formally complained against the water supply and also iigainst their street lighting facilities. Soon after the Riverside section was made a part of the city last fall and made the Fourteenth ward, the city took over the private sewage system in the district and four weeks ago the city solicitor's office was author ized and directed by City Council to confer with the officials of the Dau phin Consolidated Water Company on the question of the city taking over the Riverside water system. Negotiations now are under way, said Dr. Hassler, who added that only y.esterday he received a com munication from the water company saying in substance that in the im mediate future the city will be fur ni bed with data which will enable Harrisburg to act more intelligently when It fixes a price and makes a formal offer to buy the water system. The Commissioner said he lias an offer of sale front the water company and he will present it to his col leagues at an early meeting of City Council probably at the special meet ing next Monday. Dr. Hassler explained that the city cannot go into the ward arbitrarily and lay mains to furnish water to the inhabitants because the Dauphin company has a franchise to do that. He thinks also, he said, that It would be, inadvisablp under the circum stances to take over the water H.vs tem and begin supplying city water in the Riverside district before a price to be paid by the city for the water system Is agreed upon or until it Is determined whether a price can or cannot be agreed upon. The Riverside folks are aroused because during the last week or two they were getting a turbid water sup ply, due to heavy rains. As to the Improper street lighting, Dr. Hassler said the matter has been taken up with the hope of an early adjust ment of the troubles, which are due to faulty mechanism In the auto matic control. { MARKETS By Associated I'ress New York.
