the British army In France.—
Field Marshal von Hindenberg s troops
east of the forest of Nieppe got a
nasty and unexpected knock, when the
British drove forward in a surprise
attack along a front of more than
three miles and hurled the startled
gray-coated soldiers back to an aver
age depth of 1500 yards.
The offensive was at a point where
the enemy thrust was hardest in the
Flanders battle in an effort to cap-
ture the forest, which would have
opened his way to Hazebrouck, the
capture of which would have entailed
the British retirement from Ypres.
TOTAL U. S. EXPENSES BIG
America Spending. About $50,000,000
Each Day to Carry on the War.
Washington.— The government Sat
urday closed its books for the fiscal
year— the first full fiscal year in the
war.
In the government financial history
the year will go down as a period of
expense hardly dreamed of a decade
ago. More than $12,600,000,000 is the
actual outlay since July 1, 1917, to
meet the multitude of big bills inci
dent to the conduct of the war. In
peace times tbe government spent less
than $1,000,000,000 annually.
With the addition of tbe $1,200,000,-
000 which the government spent in
the three months of war preceding
this fiscal year, the war's cost in
money to date has been $13,800,000,-
000.
W a r activities now drain about $50,-
000,000 a day from the nation's public
treasury.
Germans Sink Canadian Hospital Ship.
London.— A German submarine 70
miles from the Irish coast on the night
of June 27 torpedoed the 11,000-ton
hospital ship Llandovery Castle, char
tered by the Canadian government
and in the service of carrying wound
•d and sick from England to Canada.
The ship was then on her way to
England. She had on board 258 per
sons. 80 men of the Canadian army
medical corps and 14 women nurses.
Only 24, Including the captain, are
reported saved. The attack was with-
out warning.
