precautionary methods would bo

many of theso fires. This feed is high I

London, Oct. 4. Thousands of pris
onors.havo been taken by tho British
In tho now drlvo against tho Germans
which was begun this, mprnlng oast of
Ypros In Flanders. All tho objectives
of tho British wore won, Including
positions characterized by Flold Mar

British Front In Franco and Bel
gium, Oct 4. Field Marshrtl Haig's
forces in tho offenslvo began to the
oast of Ypros this morning In boiho
placos havo ponctratcd tho German
linos to the dopth of ono mile and
havo ovorrrun the crest of tho Pass-chondaolo-Gholuvelt
ridge.
At an oarly hour tho Germans wero
surrendering by hundreds.
In tholr offenslvo In tho Ypros sec
tor today tho British gained all their
objectives on a front of 10,000 yards
and to a depth of 2,500 yards. General
Frederick B. Maurice, chief director
of military operations at tho war of
fice announced today.
Tho ronowal of tho' Flandors drive
comes after an eight-day lntorval. On
Wednesday of last woek tho British
swept forward over ground on both
sides of tho Ypres-Monln road, ad
vancing from a half mllo to a mile at
various points afong the Inc.
Some of the hoavlcst fighting In tho
war on tho western front followed,
tho Germans making assault after as
sault In desperate attempts to regain
tho valuable high ground they had
lost. Almost ovory Inch of It, how
over, was held Intact by tho British,
who mcanwhllo wore preparing for tho
next forward push.
With today's renewal of tho drlvo
tho battf o of Flandors Is growing more
and moro to resombt-'o last year's bat
tfo of tho Sommo, which was follow
ed by tho memorable Illndonburg
"strategic retreat" Tho same gen
oral tactics now being pursued of per
sistent driving at the same point In
tho lino are evidently expected by the
British to achieve a Blmllar result.
This time, however, the: ground which
woid havo to bo abandoned would bo
far moro valuable to tho entente and
loss a- correspondingly heavy blow
to tho Germans, for the Gorman-hold
Belgian coast lino, with It's submarine
andaorlal bases, is at stake, together
with tho great French manufacturing
city of Lille and wido stretches of ter
ritory in northern France and Kand

Our purpose was to show the people of North Platte that $
while the Chandler people never have built a special car or
furnished a special gear ration, nor have .bad a car driven
j by a professional driver, that the ordinary car and driver g
will compete successfully with many so called track creationp, j
p This was shown in the same way in August at the annual $
H Rochester hill climb, when a
