Line 800 Meters South of St.
Quentln Artillery Fighting
" in Flanders Continues.
'By th Associated Press.)
FTiENCH FRONT IN KB ivrp .miv
5 5 The Crown Prince's army suffered
a. rude shock when the French yester
day attacked and recaptured all the
positions northwest of Verdun. These
cost the Germans not only the loss
of their former conquest and about
MiO prisoners, but the French cut into
xn-ir line, and repeated counter-at
tacks by the Germans failed to ret-over
any part thereof and resulted
even in more losses. The Germans
jiae neen lor several days expecting
ine i'rench would try to shell them
out, but did not expect an infantry
attack.
The French were obliged to delay
the movement owing to bad weather.
iui continued the heavv bombard
inent. causing- the Germans such
Josses that they were obliged to t.ak
the Tenth Reserve Division, which was
Jiolding- their position, out of the
trenches, as some of its companies
xia.ve been reduced to 50 men each.
Kreneh Hold Two Hills.
The Twenty-Ninth Division replaced
It. supported by the Forty-Kighth Di
vision, composed of fresh troops
trought from the Russian frpnt.
It was while relief was proceeding
that the French attacked, thoroughly
surprising the enemy by appearing In
their trenches while the bombardment
was proceeding. Before the Germans
could recover the French were within
the third-line German trenches.
The French now hold all the ob
servatories overlooking the elopes of
Le Mort Homme and hill 304. The
whole engagement lasted only 30 min
utes. PARIS. July 19. The Germans made
an attack last night on a front of 800
meters south of St. Quentin. The War
Office announces that the enemy
pained a footing in the French first
line, but was expelled from the great
er part of these positions by a counter-attack.
A German attempt to re
train ground captured by the French
near Avocourt wood on the Verdun
front was defeated.
BEIRLIN', via London. July 19. The
capture of French positions on a front
of a kilometer southwest of St. Quen
tin is announced by the War Office.
Artillery fighting in Flanders continues.
AIR FIGHTIXG GROWS SEVERE
Germans Harass French, but Make
3o Great Move.
LONDON. July 19. Summarizing the
military events of the past week, Major
Ceneral Frederick B. Maurice, chief di
rector of military operations at the
War Office, said today to the Associated
tress:
'The British front has been note
worthy only for the fact that it has
eeen the heaviest air fighting in the
history of the war, with the losses
severest on the German side and the
results generally favorable to the Brit
ish. On land there was only minor
fighting without material change.
"On the French front the Germans
till are carrying on their policy of
using picked troops for local operations
aimed at exhausting and harassing the
French. The result has been nil, and
the policy is a confession that the Ger
mans are incapable of attempting any
really great effort.
"On the Russian front bad weather
and floods have necessitated the draw
ing back of some advanced posts with
out important changes."
Supplementing his talk on the mili
tary operations, General Maurice re
marked: "I am told that In the United States
the ordinary man has got an impres
sion that when any really stiff fighting
job is to be done the Englishman calls
on the Australian. Canadian or Scots
man to take the van. This Idea Is be
ing carefully fostered by the Germans
with the foolish idea of spreading some
dissension between the branches of the
Anglo-Saxon race. As a matter of
fact, the greatest part of the fighting
since the war began has not only fallen
on English troops they are the largest
part of the army and have borne the
brunt of the work. The casualty lists
show that the English regiments have
fought just as gallantly and bravely
and have lost as heavily as any regi
ments in the imperial army."
GERMAN LOSSES MILLIONS
Total Casualties Since War Began
i Arc More Than 4,000,000.
LONDON, July 19. The German cas
ualties report in the German official

WOMEN ARE FREED
16 Suffragists That Picketed
White House Pardoned.
ALL ACCEPT AND LEAVE
Woman's Party Honors Returning
Members as Martyrs and Gives
Dinner In Their Honor; An
other Demonstration Due.
WASHINGTON, July 19. Sixteen
women sent to the workhouse for par
ticipation in a suffrage demonstration
Saturday at the White House accepted
pardons from President Wilson and
were released after servinc two days
of their 60-day terms. The prisoners
left the workhouse apparently without
regret, despite their previous declara
tions that they desired to serve out
their time without appeal or clemency.
These assertions had led to announce
ment by the Department of Justice
pointing out that a pardon need not
be accepted unless the prisoners desired
it. When the time for departure came,
however, the women's only protest was
against the trials they underwent dur
ing their detention.
At headquarters of the Woman's
party the 16 were received as martyrs,
and at a dinner given in their honor
plans were made for continuing the
White Mouse picketing. A defiant
statement issued at the headquarters
said the campaign to impress President
Wilson and the country by parading
before the White House would go on
without change.
No date has been set for the next
demonstration, but it probably will be
Saturday. The suffragist leaders say
they fully expect that the next body
of pickets will be arrested and sen
tenced to the workhouse.
Dudley Field Malone. Collector of
Customs at New Cork, who has acted as
counsel for the women, temporarily re
tired from the fight tonight, but it
is understood he will be retained again
if further arrests are made. Mean
time he will continue his efforts to
persuade the President to declare for
a Federal suffrase amendment.
A clash between Mr. Malone and Su
perintendent Whitaker, of the Oc
coquan Workhouse, enlivened the de
parture of the prisoners tonight. The
women were receiving their valuables
at the office when Mr. Whitaker
warned them that if they returned they
would get no especial consideration.
"I've been very indulgent with you,"
he said, "but I won't again."
Mr. Malone, replying, heatedly de
clared he certainly had not been ac
corded special privileges as counsel.
For a moment it looked like a per
sonal encounter, but the incident closed
with Mr. Whitaker declaring that his
original statement stood.
DISEASE PLOT IS PROBED
CLOTURES FROM COl'RTPLASTER
TO BE INJECTED INTO PIGS.
Whether or Aot Scheme to Plunge
Mimourl Into Epidemic Is of Ger
man Origin Is Not Divulged.
KANSAS CITT, Mo.. July 19. Fred
Robertson, United States District At
torney for Kansas, and associates to
night were bending every effort to re
veal whether the alleged poison court
plaster plot, believed to have been
started in Kansas to spread an epidemic
of disease over that state, was part of
an organized system of German terrori
zation propaganda.
Ten guinea pigs have been inoculated
with a culture obtained from samples
of the suspected adhesive, which Gov
ernment bacteriologists have declared
contained bacilli of tetanus.
Other germs than tetanus were said
to have been found on the little rect
angles of plaster, but so far these have
not been isolated.
Of the three men arrested charged
with peddling or giving away the
courtplaster, two have been released,
their wares being declared harmless
after investigation by Government
chemists. The third man, giving the
name of John Lyng, still is held in the
jail at Marysville. as the samples of
the adhesive taken from him showed
evidence of having been tampered
with.
Federal authorities here are awaiting
definite information regarding the
death at Winfield, Kan., several days
ago of Charles Mulford, who suc
cumbed to tetanus.
A small package of courtplaster was
found in his pocket and it was believed
that his system became inoculated
from its -use.
LAWRENCE. Kan., July 19. Tests
made in the University of Kansas bac
teriological laboratories of samples of
courtplaster thought to have been in
oculated with tetanus germs have
failed to find any such bacteria, It
was announced here today.
GANTENBEIN STILL JUDGE
Returns to Training Camp Without
Saying What He Will Do.
Calvin U. Gantcnbeln, Circuit Judge,
returned to the training camp of the
Officers' Reserve Corps at the Presidio
last night without announcing whether
he would accept the post as Judge Advocate-General
of the Philippines.
Judge Gantenbein, who was recently
commissioned as Colonel, arrived in
Portland last week on a 10 days' fur
lough. Before leaving for the south Judge
Gantenbein said it might be some time
before he makes any decision, which
will depend, to some extent, on future
developments. It is intimated by his
friends he prefers to see active service
in the Amy.
U-BOAT MISSES
FRENCH SHIP SEES TORPEDO
SKIM ALONG SIDE.
Exciting Experience of Crew While
Watching Sinking; of American
Oil Tanker John D. Archbold.
AN ATLANTIC PORT. July 19. The
experience of watching a torpedo from
a German U-boat which took part in
sinking the American oil tanker John
D. Archbold skim along the length of
his own ship about two feet away and
pass on harmlessly, was related here
today by a sea captain who returned
on a French ship with his crew after
delivering a steamer built on the Great
Lakes to her French purchasers.
The captain said he was watching
the sinking of the Archbold, which oc
curred June 16. when suddenly a sub
marine periscope was sighted off his
own bow and he swerved his ship
sharply. The course of a torpedo, he
said, was plainly visible as it passed.
By this time his gunners opener fire,
sending four shells at the U-boat.
The last shell, he said, made a great
splash, which was followed by a cloud
of vapor and the submarine disap
peared. He believes that the U-boat
was destroyed.

tails of Reason.
