Haig and Petain Start Another
Drive in Flanders and Make
Big Gains.
AIMING AT U-BOAT BASES?
Good Work by the Ruuo-Roumanlan
Forces Teutonic Peace Move De
rided Agreement Reached on
Food Control Bill Exemp
tion Boards Are Busy.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
After twenty days of the most tre
mendous artillery lire of the war, the
Anglo-French armies In Flanders be
gan on Tuesday a great drive that
aroused the highest hopes for definite
results. Great masses of troops dashed
forward along a front of twenty miles,
overran the enemy's tlrst three lines of
defense between Warneton and Dlx
mudo and captured eleven towns and
more than 0,000 prisoners. They
crossed the Yser at many places, the
engineering corps performing prodigies
in tho way of brldge-bulldlng under
fire. Tanks and airplanes played Im
portant parts In the terrlllc conflict.
The Germans resisted stoutly and on
Wednesday, when the allies advance
was checked by torrential rains, the'
Teutons by tierce counter-attacks won
back a little of the lost ground. Next
day the British again drove tho Ger
mans back, and then the artillery re
sumed the task of blowing Prince Itu
precht's men out of the supporting de
fenses to which they had retired.
Generals llalg and I'etaln exchanged
telegrams of congratulation on the
success In Flanders, and the kaiser,
not to be outdone, congratulated ltu
precht on his "great success" and at
once culled a conference In Brussels of
his commanding officers on the west
front and other officials. The German
losses are reported to have been tre
mendous and those of the allies com
paratively light. Several American
surgical teams worked on the lighting
line bide by side with their British al
lies. Tho exact objective of this drive was
not ofllclally nnuounced, but the peo
plo of the allied nations hoped and the
Germans assumed that the Anglo
French armies Intend to push along the
Belgian coast and force the Germans
to nbandon their submarine- bases.
Such n movement would also turn tho
right end of the German line and
might well compel a general retire
ment townrd the Hhlne. If tho allies
could rench the Dutch border It Is be
lieved Holland might be persuaded to
throw In her lot with them, u decision
which Gerniony evidently has feared
for Bomo time.
Conditions in Russia.
Tho disorganized Russian troops
continued their retrent eastward
through Gallcla, and at some points
tho pursuing Teutons and Turks
crossed the Russian border. However,
thero was n perceptible stiffening of re
sistance by the Slnvs, and further
north they held their Hues fairly well.
On tho Roumanian front the Russo
Roumanian army fought bravely and
successfully, making considerable ad
vances. Its good work may go far to
ward saving the rich grain fields of
southern Russia from the enemy.
Meanwhile KcrenBky and his col
leagues are working fast to avert dis
aster. Their program, according to the
ofllclal newspaper, Is to restore the
army's power by u clear definition of
tho limits of Rutin's present liberty,
tho taking of the severest und most
merciless measures tor te-cstubllshlng
military discipline, nnd the restoration
of the shaken authority of Russiu's
most disinterested and self-sacrificing
servants, her ofllcers. Hundreds of
German spies in Russian uniforms
found mingling with tho soldiers have
been executed buminnrlly, and tho mu
tinous troops are being punl&hcd as
traitors. It is now. reported that Le
nine 1ms escaped from Russia, proba
bly to" GJjfwiuy Through Finland and
Swei'.ni.

that Hlndenburg, having prcpnred for
the Gallclan affair with the aid of his
spies, promised the kaiser he would
put Russia out of action within two
months. But Kcrenky, though he is
terribly handicapped and Is not a sol
dier, Is proving himself to be a much
greater man than the Gcrnuiu chieftain
and civilization still looks to him with
confidence In his ultimate success
It was announced on Thursday that
General Brusslloff hud resigned as
commander In chief of the Russian
armies and that General Kornlloff had
been made generalissimo, being suc
ceeded on the southwestern front by
General Tchcreinlssoff.

front has resulted in a popular move

Teutonic Peace Bunk.
Tho beginning of the week was
marked by the ascension of three large
peace bulloons sent up by the central
powers. One was piloted by Chancel
lor Mlchaells, one by Count Czernlu,
Austrian foreign minister, nnd one by
the un;Aiuerlcun correspondent, Ben
nett, acting for Mlchaells and Luden-
dorff. The balloons went up swiftly for
a time, hut, being filled only with hot
uir, they soon came to earth again, the
descent accompanied by the Ironic
laughter and cheers of the allied tui
tions. The Imperial chancellor, to
abandon the metaphor, told a vivid tale
of secret treaties between France and
Russia looking to conquest, nnd Pre
mier Klbot promptly branded him as a
liar. Mlchaells uttered a lot more
claptrap about the wicked uims of the
entente allies and "the justice of our
defensive war," and, through the un
American correspondent, gave out a
mess of high-sounding phrases and
foolish accusations, and declared the
submarine warfare would continue un
til the British raise their blockade.
Czernlu gave an interview tlmt sound
ed more reasonable, and a couple of
duys later a Vienna paper announced
authorltutlvely that Germany would
gladly act upon peace overtures com
ing by wny of Vienna. The entire
pca.ee move of thp week, however, wus
declared by Washington, London und
Paris to he Insincere and evidently
made in the hope of slowing up the
war preparations in America and the
restoration of authority and discipline
In Russia.
On Wednesday the kaiser Issued two
proclamations, to the German people
and to the German army and navy and
colonial forces, In which lie defiantly
set forth his determination to prosecute
to a successful termination "this right
eous war of defense."
The German attempt to bunko the
Poles with vague promises of a re
stored kingdom bus fallen through.
Dispatches from Berlin say the Polish
legions have been diurmed and in
terned, becuuse the Germans found
themselves confronted by a mutinous
Polish army, while Austrian subjects
enrolled In the original legion Insisted
on taking the oath to the new Polish
kingdom us If Gallcla were a part of
It.
America's Submarine Detector.
The problem of the submarine Is
still holding first place In the consider
ations of the nllied notions, for while
the Germans admit the U-boat cam
paign Is not reducing England to star
vation, Admlrul Jellico admits the
submarine has not yet been mastered,
and says until tho effective antidote Is
discovered the allies must concentrate
on the building of patrol boats and
merchant vessels. Secretnry Daniels
believes the American navy depart
ment has found a plan for protecting
American shipping and It will be put In
operation very soon. The department
Is working on u giant detector which
Rear Admiral Grunt thinks will bring
Immediate results. The details of this
detector, of course, are not revealed,
but It Is expected to bo effective over
a distance of live miles, and If these
expectations are Justified the depart
ment will stretch the device across the
waters In tho vicinity of the German
bases and thereby locato submarines
as they start out. Meanwhile the
trained gun crews placed on American
merchantmen are giving a good ac
count of themselves, generally getting
the better of any submarines that ven
ture to attack the vessels they are
guarding,

What Congress Is Doing.
One mouth behind time, the adminis
tration food control hill was reported
out of conference without the features
that were objectionable to the presi
dent. Its enactment within a week
was confidently predicted. The chief
features tlmt were eliminated were tho
congressional war expt'nditure com
mittee and the thrcc-mcmhcr food con
trol boatd. The price-fixing and con
trol provisions were greatly restricted
and the prohibition section Is less dras
tic. Partly as a result of the compromise
on the food control bill, the sennte
adopted the Slicppard resolution for u
national prohibition amendment to the
constitution. The vote 5 to 1!0
would have been much closer had the
dry forces not consented to a provision
that the amendment shall not lie opera
tive unless it Is ratified by the states
within six years. The constitutionality
of that limitation is doubtful.
The dry leaders decided to await the
December session of congress before
trying to get the resolution through tho
lower house.
Another commendable action of tho
senate was the adoption of McCum
ber's resolution culling upon the presi
dent to undertake to obtain the consent
of the European nations allied against
the central powers to the draft of their
subjects In the United States for the
war. It Is believed the allies will
quickly agree to this and that the plan
will be In operation before long.
The new war Industries board, with
Frank A. Scott Instead of Bernard Bn
rucli as Its chairman, has taken up
with vigor its work of government
buying and supervision over the gen
eral Industrial' activity. Mr. Scott an
nounced that profit-making must now
yield to patriotism, extravagance to
economy ami selfishness to service.
The reorganized shipping hoard also Is
speeding up and last week It made the
Southern pine producers promise
prompter delivery of the timber they
have pledged, for the board Intends to
build as many wooden ships as pos
sible. The embargo that Is designed to shut
off Germany's supplies of food and
war munitions Is going to have an ef
fect on the supply of shipping. Nor
way already lias proposed to place al
most Its entire merchant licet at tho
disposal of the allies and promised to
export nothing but fish to Germany If
assured of receiving American food
products, and Holland, too, is willing
to exchange ships for food If the ves
sels are not to be sent Into the danger
rone. Sweden and Denmark, It is be
lieved, will follow suit. The effective
ness of the emhurgq policy, however,
depends to n considerable extent, on
whether or not the shipment of food
stuffs from Russia Into Germany can
be prevented.
The shipping board last week pre
pared to commandeer all American
shipping, and President Wilson Issued
an order thnt has the effect of cutting
off steel exports to Japan unless Jap
anese vessels nre diverted to war uses.
Exemption Boards Busy.
The examination of drafted men by
the exemption boards Is going on rap
Idly and smoothly, nnd under Instruc
tions from Provost Marshal General
Crowder the boards have tightened up
on the exemptions. They imve been
told to keep in mind that the two
things to be accomplished are the rais
ing of armies and the maintaining of
industries. Meanwhile the federal and
local authorities nil over tho country
ure rounding up the sluckers
Continuing their work of co-operut-tng
with the Germans, the Industrial
Workers of the World stirred up vari
ous troubles for mine owners, lumber
producers and themselves, In many
Western localities. Some towns fol
lowed the example of Blsbec and de
ported the disturbers, and one of their
leaders, Frank Little, was taken out
and hanged by masked men at Butte,
Mont. Such occurrences, of course,
must be deplored theoretically.
The government cannot and will not
tolerato strikes that tie up Industries
that are vital to the successful conduct
of the war. This was demonstrated by
the quick ending of n strike of thou
sands of railway switchmen that
started at Chicago. When the federal
authorities took a hum!, both sides
found they could yield points und
reach an amicable agreement.
Quite Happy.
Through tho wild ways of her good-for-nothing
husband, u hard-working
charwoman had to remove to n little
two-roomed cottage, where there was
scarcely space to sneeze without shak
ing the ornaments from the mantel
piece. "It's hard lines for you to bo brought
down like this, nfter what joti've been
accustomed to," said u sympathetic
neighbor. "I don't doubt you feel very
miserable. Mrs. Jones."
"No, I don't." the charwoman stout
ly denied. "I'm happier here by a
long way than I used to he in the old
place. For one thing, when my hus
band comes home in n brute of u tem

234 stock model Saxon "Sixes" travel 70,200 miles July
18 and set grand average of 25.9 miles per gal. of gas
To give a national demonstration
of the remarkable gasoline econ
omy of Saxon "Six", 234 Saxon
dealers joined in a 300 mile drive
July 18.
A grand average of 25.9 miles per gal
lon of gasoline was registered for the
70,200 miles of travel.
Consider that this run took place in 234
different parts of the country, under 234
different sets of conditions, over 234 dif
ferent kinds of roads.
Consider that these 234 cars were stock
model Saxon "Sixes", not "tuned up"
special cars, not cart with "doped"
gasoline.

SAXON "SIX"
A BIG TOURING CAR FOR FIVE PEOPLE
25.9 Miles
Per Gal. of Gas
That proves that this 25.9 miles per
gallon of gasoline is the ordinary, the
average performance of 234 Saxon
"Sixes" taken right out of stock.
And it proves as nothing else would
prove, the gasoline economy your Saxon
Six" will give you. No other car in
its class can match this record.
Furthermore, these 234 Saxon "Sixes"
averaged 175 miles per quart of oil.
And not a single instance of mechanical
trouble occurred throughout the entire
70,200 miles.
There is the proof that Saxon " Six" is
your kind of a car. Price f. o. b. Detroit,
