mud turtles lumber and creak through
the bogs, spitting red flame from their
mud-encrusted guns and creating panic
wherever they operate.
One lone tank today reported the
capture of sixty Germans near St. Ju
lien. While wallowing along to the enemy
line, the monster encountered one of
its kind stopped by a direct hit from
a German anti-tan gun.
The uninjured charged the gun and
literally smashed it out of commission.
Eight Germans were captured here and
turned back to the advancing British
infantry. The same tank, creenine
along, aided in the capture of Pom-
mern redoubt and Pommern castle. It
crossed the deep cut marking the re
doubt and sent word back that it was
clear of the enemy. Meanwhile another
tank crashed its way through the castle
defenses, while the Germans fled pre
cipitately. Advancing intantrv round
the defenders massed in the redoubt
position which the first tank had clear
ed. More tanks were summoned. Four
slid roaring over the redoubt and took
it, the Germans surrendering. Then it
was discovered that the detenders had
first fled from the redoubt to the cas
tle and theu back from the castle to
the redoubt. There was no other place
to flee to after the redoubt was for
the second time under attack, since the
first tank which had reported the re
doubt clear, had covered the rear. All
prisoners frankly confessed their pan
ic at the steel monsters.
Tanks Cross Canal
Crossing of the lpres canal by these
tanks under constant shell fire and
gas clouds was one of the great feats
of the war. But te secret of how it
was done will not be told until the
war is over- '
The monstrous strength of the giant
miles, extending from Avocourt wood
tc Bezonvaux.
For a week now guns on both sides
of the Verdun sector have been violent
ly active. The roar approached drum
fire yesterday and the infantry eame
into action immediately afterward
Front dispatches today fold of des
perate fighting in these clashes, ex
tending into a great struggle over the
whole of the 12 miles. French troops
forged ahead at numerous places.
Haig Announces Galas
London, Aug. 20. Further gains in
the Yprcs sector were announced by
Field Marshal Haig today as tho se
quel to vigorous fighting last night in
Flanders.
"Our line was slightly advanced
sourheast of St. Jlinsholk," he de
clared. The British commander in chief al
so reported repulse of a German coun
ter attack against new British posi
tions southeast of Epeky. There was
violent fighting in this sector.
South of Lens the British troops
made a successful-raid.
Thanked the Navy
Amsterdam, Aug. 20. Kaiser Wil
helm expressed formal thanks to the
German navy for "preventing the ene
my breaking through on the Flanders
front," at his. recent inspection of the
German base at Heligoland, according
to word received hyere today.
The emperor was accompanied by
Admiral Von C'apclle, minister of ma
rine and Count Von Holtwndorff. He
was escorted by a flotilla of heavy and
light cruisers destroyers, submarines
and seaplanes.
FRANK DERREL THE
HUNAN FLY. TONIGHT
Wili Climb Marion Hotel at
7:30 and May Try Court
House Tomorrow
Frank Derrel, "the human fly," will
give an exhibition of his skill this
evening at 7:30 by climbing the
Marion hotel. Derrell is the only real
genuine human fly, outclassing all
others in his line, who are only gnats
and mosquitoes in comparison. He
climbed the radio tower at San Diego
as one of his stunts, and this is a trip
up an almost smooth wall for 600 feet.
He has climbed the most difficult
buildings in the United States, and can
outclimb anything in existence except
the wojld-be society women who arc
forced to climb a purely imaginary
family tree. Derrel requires something
more tangible than that, hence con
cedes -he society dames can beat him.
He intends to climb ths court house
tomorrow, if he can get permission of
the couaty judge, which he expects to
do today, and will make announcement
at his climb tonight as to whether or
not he will make this one, and if so
the hour. Derrel is Raid to be the most
persistent fcuinan fly in existence
sticking to a wall like a real fly to
the smooth Md of a bald headed man
and apparently having no more diffi
culty in negotiating a wall than the
house variety of fly has in scaling the
parapet and dancing on the hurricane
deck of n hairless victim.

"The Captain of the '.. Grev Horse
Troop" is the first Hamlin Garland
story to reach tho screen. The photo-
drama, which comes to the Liberty
theater on Tuesday, has unusually pic
turesque qualities. Writing with the
purpose of presenting tho problems of
tne American Indian, Mi.. Garland hit
upon a charming romance.
the story in brief tollows: Cantam
George Curtis, of tho Grey Horse Troop
is detailed to a Tctong reservation as
agent to displace tho cruel, oppressing
Sennett. Curtis believes that the In
dians can be developed, educated and
made happy by kindness. He finds the
settlers, cowmen and sheep herders an
tagonistic. They want the land for graz
ing their stock. .
Jtilsie Brisbane, daughter of ex-Sen-
ator Brisbane, is staying at the agency
to paint Indian pictures. Tho displaced
aeent, Sennett, is her uncle, and nat
urally she comes to think Curtis unfair
in ejecting the man. But, as Curtis goes
steadily lorward in his plans, she is
made finally to realize how right he
has been. The settlers provoke trou
ble, an Indian kills a herder who at
tempts to insult his wife, and mobs
threaten the reservation, Curtis arrests
the murderer, convoys him to the near'
by nail, averts the mob rule and, in the
end, wins not only triumphant acclaim
for his theories, but r.Isie as well.

Italian Drive Winning.
Rome, Aug. 20. Italy' great of
fensive had spread violent fighting
over nearly a hundred miles of front in
the Julian, Carso and Isonzo fronts
late today. The Italian drive, begin
ning last night, was reported as ex
tending everywhere, with splendid
progress and great captures of Aus
trians. ,
British and French gunners are co
operating with General Cadorna's
troops. Every inch 'of Austrian de

artillery.
Bad For The Irish. ,
Butte, Mont., Aug. 20. An aggres
sive alliance between the Industrial
Workers of the World and the Pearse
Connolly club, a radical Irish home rule
organization, is the most menacing as
pect of Butto's labor troubles today.
James Larkin I. W. AV. leader, is
known to have had several conferences
recently with officers of the Irish or
ganization. Much secrecy surrounds the
conference and the plans of the two
organizations.
" The Pearse Connolly club was much
opposed to the United States entering
the war on the side of England, staged
an anti-draft demonstration early in
June and opposes the government at
every turn.
Eclward Byrne, Jr., agent of the de
partment of justice for this district, and
his representatives are gathering evi
dence to deal swiftly and severely with
instigators in Montana and the north
west, Montana district attorneys were in
structed to prosecute immediately those
men whose activities could be construed
as hostile to the government.
Larkin did not leave for Portland to
direct the general walkout last night as
he announced ho would. He is extreme
ly busy here working quietly. Authori
ties are watching him closely.
Citizens Aroused.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 20. No I. W.
W. disturbance in western Washington
or in the vicinity of Seattle had been
reported early this morning despite the
threats of the organization to call a
general strika in the state today to en
force the demand that I. W. W. held in
jail in the eastern part of the state bo
released.
Spanish American war veterans of
Seattle will organize tonight "to put
down street treason." They claim that
appeals to constitutional authority hare
been fruitless.
Governor Lister, in Tacoma, in com
menting today on the general strike
threatened by the I. W. W. to enforce
demands that members of that body in
jail in eastern Washington be released,
said :
"The time is about here when we
shall find out whetnr one man can
give orders that jail doors shall be open
ed or he will cause the fruit crops to
lot on the ground."
Governor Lister met with the state
council of defense at Tacoma today. It
is thought here ho will lay before the
il a definite plan of action to
check any disturbance by the I. W. W.
Los Angeles, ( a!., Aug. 20 So great
has been the exodus of members of th'i
I. W. W. from southern Ciilifornia to
nmise proposition will be taken up
There seems to be a general agreement
that under the present war conditions,
everything that can be done in an
economic way should be done, and one
of these is the reducing of the over
head expense of useless delivering.
One of the plans is to provide each
house with at least one delivery a day.
In some lines, such as meat markets,
an early morning delivery and a 2
o'clock in the afternoon delivery will
prohably soon be established. The
grocers may also fall in line with this
system, although there las been no
meeting to arrange for a uniform sys
tem of delivery. This will be discussed
at tho 'meeting tomorrow evening.
The Meyers department store is fall
ing in line with tho national movement,
initiated today in Portland, by making
two deliveries in the morning and two

join tho "armies" in the northwest,
that not enough men remain here to
launch any movement.
This is the concensus of opinion of
thc I. W. W. who met Sunday to dis
cuss the local situation.
"Southern California is not immune
from an 'attack' however," one speak
or said. "Our great army is mobile and
some day it may visit southern Califor
nia, to correct some of tho existing con
ditions which are far from satisfactory
to us. Much depends on how the attack
on the northwest ends."
Russia Will Reject
Pope's Peace Proposal
Washington, Aug. 20. Rejection by
Russia ol the pope's peace proposal
was forshadowed in an official state
ment issued this afternoon at the
Russian embassy. The Statement fol
lows: "The answer to tho Vatican's peaco
proposal has not yet been formulated
by tho Russian government, but there
is a feeling in Russia that the proposal
has been made with some inspiration
from iho Contral Powers. It is con
sidered in Russia that the very basis of
the Vatican's proposal is inconsistent
with the democratic aims of the Rus
sian people in this war and non-acceptable
from thnt point of view."
It was explained the inconsistency
of the Vatican '8 proposal is that it
recognices the right of Serbia and
Belgium to independence while leav
ing open tho argument at the poaco
conference disposition of Alsace-Lorraine
:ind the liberty of the Juogoalavs
and such other nationalities as may ex
press a desire for autonomy or indo
dependenco. Tho Vatican's proposal,
it is snid, ignores the most vital
principle proclaimed by Russia tho
right of each nation to determine its
own destiny and thus leave the fate of
certain subject nationalities in tho
hands jf other powers.
in the afternoon.
In the long run, tho customer pays
for all these extra deliveries. In this
national economic movement, it now
seems up to the customer to display
some patriotism and be contented with
at least but one or two daily deliveries.
Anyhow, it is evident, the majority
of merchants firmly believe the deliv
ery system lias been overdone and that
something should be done to prevent
the delivery of small packages.
The only new thing about, food con
trol is that the government is to do
the controlling.
