A GENERAL SURVEY OF
- THE WAR
New drives made by the Frenchand
British resulted in the capture of ad-
ditional ground on the Somme front
by the allies.
The French gain as reported in the
Paris bulletin was effected between
Fregicourt and Morval, in the direc
tion of Sailly, on the Peronne-Ba-
paume road north of Rancourt, where
the wedge being driven into the Ger
man lines between Bapaume and Pe-
ronne is almost at ite sharpest point.
The new ground won by the Brit-
ish, as reported by London, lies some-
thing more than a quarter of a mile
southwest of La Sars, on the Pozieres-
Bapaume road, northeast of Cour-
celetts. La Sars is about three and a
half miles from Bapaume, toward
which the British in this sector are
determinedly pressing. The captured
territory comprised a strongly defend-
ed farm.
On the Macedonian front the Bul-
garians have resumed their efforts to
drive the Servians from their Kairmak-
calan position near the Servian bor-
der, in the region nortn of Lake Os-
trovo, but this latest attempt, during
which four attacks were made, failed.
The defection to the revolutionists
of the @reek warship Hydra has caused
excitement in Piraeus. The Hydra,
anchored under the gung of the arsenal,
wi boarded at 3 o'clock in the
Some of the apples in this vicinity
were frozen during the past week.

day with Lurella Baker, teacher.

in Meyersdale last Saturday and Sun-
day. :

ST. PAUL
A number of St. Paul people attend-
to| ed the mededication services of the
Mennonite church at Springs on Sun-
day.
Mr. and Mrs. Mahlon Yoder were
visiting at Daniel Klink’s on Sunday.
George Fogle completed the chim-
ney for the heater at the Reformed
church on Saturday. The chimney is
about 62 feet high.
There are St. Paulers who cannot
understand why society should allow
vast unearned incomes to go to those
who do nothing and by means of
them enslave the people. They are
concerned in a system of industry
that will return to their producers

command was aroused from his bunk
and with pistols at his head was forced
in a rowboat. The commander, being
a Venizelist, readily surrendered to
the boarders.
After a comparative inactivity, the
Russians inaugurated sirong offensive
movements north and south of the
Galician capital. According to the
Petrograd war office report moierial
successes have been .wen. Ausiro-
German positions were penetraied and
more than 4,000 prisoners were taken,
The Teutcnic forces are offering bit-
ter resistance.
Mere than 3,000 prisoners have been
tapem by the Germans in the battle
near Mermanstadt, Transylvania,
where the first Roumanian army was
defeated and dispersed. Thirteen
guns aad a large quantity of war sup-
plies also have been captured... Rou-,|
manian attacks have been repulsed.
. The capture by . the . Scrvians of
Kalmakoalan Height, on the western
end of the Macedonian frent, for pos-
gession of which heavy fighting be-
tween the Servians and the Bulgarians
has been in progress for some time,
was announced by the Gerthan war
office.
Dispatches from the island of Crete
indicate that the movement headed by
Venizelos has by ‘no means been as
successful as at first supposed. The
loyalists are offering stiff resistance
and small but sanguinary conflicts are
reported nct only in the Canea dis-
trict but throughout the island.

Here is what it means to you Men of Meyersdale—you’re all
on the Reception Committee, every one of you. It’s a special
time that is set aside when all of you buy Men’s clothes; haye
everything fresh, smart, snappy looking. It makes you feel
the way you look—more efficient ready to ‘mix things’’ with
business; it belps to restore the energy that has been snapped
by a long, hot summer. It’s a great thing even if "it only
lagts officially two' wecks; it shows Men how much clothes
have to do with success the effects of such a campaign.
