ERIN
ATTACKS
SAYS
BRfTISH
REPORT
By William' Philip Blmms.
With tb British Armiea In th.
FUld. D.c. 18. -(Delayed) (U. P.)
One again the notorious Tpra salient
haa earned a place on the war's
scoreboard.
The German official wireless on
December 14 jrave the impression of
an Important victory scored there by
German troops and said they stormed
and occupied "British second line
trenches southesst of Zlllebeke, the
garrison of which fled."
Here's exactly What happened at
9:06 at night on December 14.
A strong- German attack was
launched against the British southern
paunch of the salient. Expecting the
Mark, the British got the stormers
under a deadly fire, so that when the
Germans reached the British, there
were only 10 of the attacking party
left. These immediately scurried back.
The whole action lasted just 10 min
utes. The enemy losses were believed
to be severe; the British casualties
were very slight. All advantage re
mained on the English side and val
uable Information was obtained from
the bodies of the dead Germans.
On the following day the Germans
again attacked, this time at Hill 60.
nearby. A heavy barrage fire com
pletely wiped out this attack, not one
man reaching the British lines. Again
the German loases were regarded as
severe, for despite the bad weather it
waa perfectly plain that the British
lire was effective.
Montha ago the Yprea salient was
the scene of some of the hotteet fight
ing of the war the Germans hurling
attack after attack against the Brit
ish in an attempt to crumple their
line. Of late "Deadman's Corner" has
almost been forgotten. "Peace Val
ley" would be mora appropriate, con
sidering the fierceness of fighting at
other parts of the line.

Anthony Euwer, Hood River poet,
read some of the "Rhymes of Our
Valley" for the benefit of tha Ad

Moose Marriage
Makes Many Merry
The promised marriage ceremony
came off last night with the Loyal
Order of Moose. Several hundred
members and their families awaited
with breathless interest the wedding
march. Everything was in perfect
order as the team escorted the bridal
party to the stage. Dr. Theodore Fes
ler gave the bride away; Dictator
Oeorge M. Orton was best man; J. D.
M. Crockwell was bridegroom. The
bride answered demurely to the name
of Lucy McCabe, in the ceremony
which waa impressively delivered by
Robert C. Smith. Just as everybody
was ready to rush forward and con
gratulate the happy couple, the bride
took off her wig and displayed the
handsome features of Percy L. Proc

that went up was a testimonial to the
successful hoax. The two floors of
the lodge were soon filled with danc-
