British Encounter Stubborn
Resistance Along Somme
—
SEVERE FIGHTING IN EAST
Trones Wood Is Scene of Five Des-
perate Encounters, the Germans
Finally Remaining In Possession.
Again the British and French forces
rushed forward against the German
positions on the Somme with the ap-
bearance of daylight last Monday
morning. Again the French carried
by storm a number of strong positions
and extended their lines menacingly
closer to the fortress of Peronne,
while the British made only slight
progress and suffered a reverse in the
Trones wood. Once more the laurels
of the fighting rest with General
Foch’s army.
~The chief reason for this constant
advance on the part of the French and
the slow progress of the British is
the fact that the Germans concentrate
the whole fury of their counter offen-
sive operations upon General Sir
Douglas Haig’s troops, practieally ig-
noring the French. They know. full
well that the French advance must
svoner or later come to a standstill
if the British do not advance corre-
spondingly.
These are the day’s developments:
Army of General Foch: Straightened
out its line between the villages of
Biaches and Barleux, took a strongly
defended German field work in this
area and captured 10 officers and 103
men; captured Hill 97, a height south-
east of Biaches, dominating the
river; captured the Maisonette farm
situated on the summit of the: hill;
captured a small wood to the north of
the farm, but were checked at the re-
doubt situated at the Sztremity of the
wood.
Army of Sir Dovgles Haid: Gained
a foqthold in the Mametex wood which
had been under their attack for near-
ly a week; gained $8me ground east
of Ovillers village and east of La
Boiselle; lost a portion of the Trones
wood after the Germans had launched
five “desperate attacks.” ground
was yielded at the expense of very
heavy casualties, the British report
says.
(Important gains by the Russians are.
announced in the Petrograg, statement.
In southern Galicia the railway town
of Delatyn has been captured. In the
drive toward Kovel the Russians have
taken two more villages. On the lower

U BOAT ARRIVES
Virginia Gapes Safely
ships patrolling the Atlantic coast
from New York to Charleston and
eluding the combined North sea fleet
of France and England, the German
submarine Deutschland, bringing 1,000
tons of dyestuffs and a quantity of
mail, arrived at the Virginia capes at
1.45 o'clock Sunday morning. After
reporting to the federal authorities the
ship proceeded up to Chesapeake bay
to Baltimore.

ence with Captain F. Hinch, American
tion.
The Deutschland was met by Cap-
tain Fred Cocke of the Virginia Pilots’
association, who was bringing the sub
marine to this port when she was met
by the tug Timmins on board of which
was Captain Hinch.
Captain Cocke stated that the under-
sea craft is more than 300 feet long,
30 feet wide and was drawing 17 feet
of water when she entered the Vir-
ginia capes. The submersible is pro-
pelled by two Deisel engines of 600
horsepower and makes about fourteen
knots an hour. She is larger than the
average freight steamer and\makes a
speed about three knots in excess oi
the speed attained by the average
freighter.
The Deutschland is commanded by
Captain Koenig and manned by a crew
of twenty-nine Germans. She left
Helgoland on June 23, according to
the story Captain Koenig told Cap-
tain Cocke. Captain Koenig, according
to Captain Cocke, who was shown
through the submersible, told him the
trip across the Atlantic was unevent-
ful. The captain of the submarine
said that he passed several British
merchant ships afd one British bat-
tleship. All had been advised by wire-
less to look out for the submarine
‘and. the undersea craft, according to
| Captain Koenig, immediately sub-
merged. The Deutschland can sub-
merge in one and one-half minutes,
accerding to’ her master.

The plans of the Yast of the sib.

He, however, is expected to leave for
Germany within the next week or ten
days.
When a strange looking craft with
only seventeen feet of her super-
structure visible ‘ above water hove
near the pilot boat Relief off Cape
Henry about 2 o'clock Sunday morn-
ing, Captain Fred Cocke, who was on
watch on the American vessel, saw
she was not propelled by steam. The
strange looking eraft blew several
blasts from an air whistle.
Captain Cocke shouted through his
megaphone:
“What craft is that?”
“It is the German underwater liner
Deutschland,” a voice cried from the
deck of the submarine.
“The devil,” cried Captain Cocke. “I
will be alongside in a minute.”
The American pilot leaped into a
yawl and was rowed to the strange
craft which lay not fifty yards away.
He was literally pulled aboard the un-
derwater craft by half a dozen hands.
The submarine flew no flag but her
crew wore the uniform of merchant
sailors.
The Deutschland submerged less

to Norfolk, six times.in the North sea,
six times in the British channel and
six times in the Atlantic. Once in the

Infantile paralysis is a disease that
affects the nervous system. It often
causes death, and again, the acute
stage frequently subsides and leaves
paralysis of one or more of the limbs
that heretofore has often lasted
through life,
To-day we do not know what caus-
es the disease, therefore prevents-
tive measures must be broad. You
must keep the ehildren away from
insect life, such as flies, mosquitoes,
fleas, bed bugs, ticks, ants, lice, etc..
You should see that all rats and mice
around ‘the building are killed. Pet
cats and dogs should be washed ‘with
a two percent carbolic acid solution
to destroy insect life. Everything
should be kept clean about the home,
including the children’s bodies and
clothing,
Children should be fed well bit not
indulged in large quantities of water,
ice cream of other frozen dishes on a
full stomach, as that will often cause
acute indigestion and render them
susceptible to other diseases. In other
words, the digestion should be care-
fully guarded.
Children should have plenty if sleep.
They should not associate with oth-
er children that are sick. Their homes
should be well ventilated but screen-
ed from flies, etc., and any flies that
‘(happen to enter the building should
be killed. All foodstuffs should be
protected from flies, dust etc. Fruit
and vegetables eaten raw should be
thoroughly washed in clean water. 3
Children’s mouths should be rinsed
out and their throats gargied with
Dobell’s solution after each meal. If
the children are too young torinse or
'gargle, wash the mouth with a piece
of fabric, muslin or linen, that has
been dipped in the same solution.
; Children should be kept out of a
{crowded place and be denied the,fre-
quenit access tocrowded halls of en-
tertainment during our present
threat with the epidemic.

“| mitted’ to sit on the“damp” ground nor

Sometimes there is a surprise in the
motor car industry that is funny only
to a very few. Often the surprise is
perpetrated to the chargrin of some
particular person. But the Maxwell
Motor Company seems to have sprung
a surprise and yet to have made a
really enjoyable bit of pleasure out of
-it for all concerned.
| During the month just previous to
the company’s 1917 announcement,
there was a continual flood of letters
into the offices of the Maxwell Motor
Company, asking about prices for the
coming season. In every letter there
was this question. “How much will
the price be raised?”
The dealers were so sure of the
raise in price that they didn’t think to
consider anything else. They wanted
to know what the’d have to work
on, how much more they would have
to get from their purchasers. And
also many of the wise old owls who
‘are always to be found ready with ex-
pert opinion where motor car topics
'are discussed, intimated very frank-
ly that the Maxwell Company was one
of many which would have to raise
prices. Simply, no other solution, the
prices must go up.
Then imagine the surprise when
the Maxwell Company announced one
of the greatest reductions in price
since the establishment of the com-
pany. They couldn't believe it—it
simply couldn’t be true. Again the
telegrams began to pour into the offi-
£es at Detroit. “What does this
m@an?” They wanted to believe the
goott news, but didn't want to get
‘their systems all saturated with sat-
isfaction until they could be sure the
good news had been verified. They
were .not going to.take any chances
on a matter so imporant.
“I couldnt believe it!” wrote one
dealer, “because I didn’t think ‘it pos-
(sible for you to give any more value.
But now that I know the new prices
are right, ¢hat the good news is true,
I begin to realize what the Maxwell
policy really means. Give me all the
cars for territory that you can spare;”
