Result of Battle East of
Ypres Remains in Doubt;
British Lines Still Hold
Forcing will be added to the manu
al training department of the Pendle
ton high school next year, a decision
to that effect brin reached at the
school board meeting last evening. R
E. Chloupek, head of the department
had asked for this addition several
weeks aso but at that time It was de
cided not to extend the work at pres
ent. This action was practically re
scinded last evening.
The addition of forcing win in
crease the work in this department
from a two year course to four years.
So many farmer's sons are taking this
course that there is a big demand for
the blacksmithing work and it is In
response to this demand that the board
has decided to make the extension. It
is probable a small wooden building
will be constructed to house this new
work.
PARIS, May 25. For more than 24
hours British and German forces to
the east of Ypres have been locked In
a desperate battle. The result Is still
In doubt. The Germans are deliver
ing fierce attacks against the English
lines. Some British trenches wer
captured but the enemy was driven out
with heavy losses. It was declared.
Thirty-five miles to the south of
Latigemarck the French have encag
ed the enemy In a fight equally as
desperate. It was admitted the Ger
mans are on tho offensive In this re
gion but they were declared to be
suffering enormous losses owing to
the effective fire of the French lat
teries.
