A few prisoners were taken, the Brit ish commander reported. 'To the northwest of Lens, early this morning, the enemy again counter attacked our new positions," Haig's statement said. "They were Completely repulsed after sharp fighting. A few prisoners were taken hero and north west of Ypres. "There was considerable artillerying during the night. The full force of the British and French drive in Flanders may be do termined within the next 24 hours. Aside from German counter attacks which have been repulsed, there has been a let tip in fighting on this front Positions bevond Langemarch have been consolidated by the British while the Freneh have mado good their new ground along the Wteenbeck. Continua tion of the general assault will mark the offensive as an effort second in power only to that of the Soinmc. Berlin Stoops to Deceit England found great satisfaction in the fact that Berlin. found it necessary to put out false statements in its offi cial wireless statement yesterday. At the time the Germans were claiming the re-capture of Langemarck, British stiff officers were in the town inspect ing the newly won English positions. Berlin also sought to create tho belief that the British attack was over a much wider front than was the case. Oxficial denial was made of all state ments from Berlin concerning develop ments in Flanders. The French are keeping step with the British in the Flanders thrust. The French line is beyond Bixschoote, run ning troni the Hooded area north of Lizernc, across the Steenbeck, to a point mid -distance, between Bixschoote and Langemarck. The poilus are play ing a mere prominent part in the pres ent Flanders battle than in any other engagement in this region tor some tiine, though thev have held this sec tion of the Flanders line since it was established. The presence of tho French in this region is largely for sentimental and political purposes. Looking to tlie lay when tho German Hue might be broken and swung back, as the first stop toward liberation of Belgium, it is desired that French troops have a part in the operations. Small Naval Battle London, Aug. 18. An engagement between British and German scouting ships in which one German destroyer and several mine sweepers wore dam aged, was reported by tho admiralty today. The biggest type of British vessels engaged in scout work toon part in the fight, when they came upon tho enemy. Tho British opened fire on the German destroyer, damaging her, but she escaped as did the inino sweepers tho destroyer was convoying. Sovere? of the hitter were damaged. German submarines were also en gaged in the fight, the admiralty state ment said. The fight took place Thurs day morning. Tolling of the engagement the ad miralty added: " " During the scouting operations Thursday morning we were unable to follow the destroyer and. mine sweep era owing to a mine field. "During the engagement submarines attacked our light torees aiso. Aiior this second action we were undamaged' The engagement occurred in the Ger man bight. The Germans for some time pas! have been sending mine sweepers into rha North sea from Heligoland, undor escort of destroyers. They havo been sighted several times by British patrol war vessels, but tins is me iirsi cjubu nnorted. This diligence of the Ger mans in their mine sweeping work has given rise to speculation in England as to' whether the enemy fleet intends to coino out again. Tne Berlin version Berlin, via London. Aug. 18. "On Thursday our guard patrol in the North sea encountered enemy cruisers and de stroyers on tho fringo of the British barred zone," an admiralty stutcnicn: announced today. "Wa attacked them and the largely superior enemy under well placed Ger man firo withdrew hastily. We suffer ed no losses--" . . .,....... '"Vj.,-., The British version of this engage ment of patrol boats Btates that one German destroyer and several mine sweepers were damaged. - French Still Advancing Paris, Aug. 18- French troops con tinued to advance in Flanders today cnnturuii? n strong nosition east of Steenbeck. Progress was made north of Bi schoote along the road to ijange- niarck.

North of the Aisne German raids were repulsed, and in the Champagne, near Massiges a uerman anucn. wu broken up by artillery fire.

Cap ture of 1,600 prisoners, one cannon and nnn machine eun in a defeat of the Rus sians south of Groezsci, Thursday, was announced today by the war office. Tho Russians were thrown from entrenched positions. Since Julv 19 in Galicia, Bukowina and Moldana, the statement said, Teu tonic forces have taken 41, woo men, 257 guns, 548 machine guns, 191 mine throwers and five hundred thousand rifles. The statement admitted the loss or Langemarck to tho Canadians, saying: "We lost LangemarcK alter severe fighting. We occupied flat ground in a bend fronting tho village." BEDOUIN LOVE SONG mir rtn nrrnir imiiii UHt UtLIILKI DAM HAY BE GIVEN TRIAL Merchants Discuss It and Also the Question of Solictors' Cards One delivery a day and the vexing question as to whether a church should have a card from the Business Men's League of Salem before business men contribute to solicitors were the two propositions discussed last evening at the called meeting of the Mercantile department of the Commercial club. The one delivery a day, now In force in so many cities as an economic propo sition, met general approval. While the merchants approve of the idea, there is a feeling that it will not become general unless every business concern in the city signs an agreement to that effect. In other words, no one house in the city is willing to become the pioneer in the on delivery system, fearing its com petitor will take tho advantage. All agreed that the delivery system had been abused and as one merchant expressed it, "this delivering of one loaf of bread in the morning and an other loaf to the same house in the af ternoon is all foolishness." At the meeting to be called for next Tuesday evening, there will be a con ference to determine whether the mer chants will stand together on the one delivery. If they will not, it is probable Salein will continue in the old system now being discarded. Too Much Soliciting. The biggest bono of contention among the merchants is the proposition of con tributing to every and all kinds of solicitor1, whether with the approval of the Business Men's league or not. It seems that all business houses have WE. BUY Hay, Oats, Barley, Wheat, Cheet Seed, Vetch Seed, Clbver Seed, Rye, itc. The highest cash ' prices paidj, Be sure and see us.

Just what to do with those who are members' of the league JrCt do not live up to its agreements, is tho big prob lem. Expulsion was suggested and others thought a fino for each violation might be effective. Anyhow, at the meeting next Tuesday evening, there will be an effort made to get a clear understand ing as to whether merchants will con tribute to solicitors of any kind or whether a card from the league will be r.ecoBsary. It seems that church -people who have been asking contributions stirred up most of the trouble.

' ENGLISH SEA LORD ONCE STATION AGENT Came to America When Boy and Worked For Years at Common Labor (By Lowell MeUett) (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, Aug. 1. (By Mail) They used to say that tho fastest thing on the B. & 0.' was the Royal Blue Limited. They were wrong. The fastest thing oh the B. & "O. was a young hired hand named Eric Geddes. Naturally it wasn 't known then, but the , appointmeat of Vice-Admiral Sir Eric GeddcfH the same young hired hand tonfl not . whole lot older to be ruler of the navy that rules the wave ought to prove it. If the new First lord of the British Admiralty -had a mlddlo naine It would be Hpeed. If he, accomplishes the same results in the admiralty that he has accomplished in other branches of the government this much is certain: Brit ish naval officers will cease to marvel at the hustle of the American navy; to go In India he entered the servicn nf th Rohilkund & Kumaon railway, building of a railroad through the jungle, a job that mado him something of a reputa tion. Thirteen years ago Sir Georgo Gibbs, general manager of the North western Railway cabled him asking if he was prepared to accept a place on the Northwestern staff. "Starting Monday," Geddes replied. Iu a short time he was appointed deputy general manager. Lord Kitchener saw him in 1915 and enlisted his aid in speeding up munitions. When the Min istry of Munitions was created with Lloyd-Georgo in charge he made Geddes deputy general director. Early in 1916 he was transferred to the war office as director of military railways. - Called on to assist in the preparations for the Somme campaign he was trans ferred, at Sir Douglas Haig's request, to France as a member of the Commander-in-chief's staff, with tho title Of Director General of Transportation and tho ran of Major-General. Lord Pool raised the question ' of the pro priety of replacing a military officer with a civilian. "But," said Lord Der by, "the civilian in this case is Sir Eric Geddes." That settled it, In May of this year it was decided liia energy was needed h the Admiral ty. The post of Controller was created, a little job that called for meeting tho combined requirements of the Admiral ty, the war office, tho ministry of shipping and other government depart ments with respect to design, construc tion, alterations and repairs of war ships and other vessels of all classes and tho requirements of the Admiralty with respect to armaments and muni tions. So Ire ceased "to be a Major-Gen-eral nd became a Vice-Admiral. But Lloyd-Georgo came to the Con clusion that Sir Eric Geddes Clidh 't havo enough to do and how has made hint First Lord and the ruler of the Queen's navy. . " ' JAPAN WANTS COTTON.

My steps are nightly driven, By the efver in my breast, To hear from thy lattice breathed The words that shall give me rest. Open the door of thy heart. .And open tny cnainuer ii'iur, 4nd mv kisses snail teach thy lips jjThe love that shall fade no more Till the sun grows cold. And the stars are old And the leaves of the Judgment Book untold! Bayard Taylor. Now and then you will find that the shyest girl gets tangled tip in the Loldest love affair.
