VERDUN ONCE MORE
THE STORM CENTER
Tierce Fighting Along Banks of
Meuse. With the French
on the Offensive.
North Dakota and Minnesota Are
Swept by Wind, Hail and Rain
GERMANS WIN AND LOSE
London, Aug. 5. Verdun, almost
quiescent during the Anglo-French
offensive in the Somme region, has
again became the storm center on
the western battle f-ont. The French
forces have taken the offensive on the
right bank og the Meuse and now hold
the Thiaumont work and the greater
part of the village of Fleuiy, accord
ing to Paris.
The Thiaumont work, already the
scene of many desperate combats, was
twice in French hands during twelve
hours Friday. The forces of the Ger
man crown orince foil lit tenaciously,
driving the French from the work
once, but losing it again. German
counter attacks were of no avail, says
Paris, and the work remained in the
possession of the French.
Fierce . 'ighting Continues.
Fleury, which changed hands Thurs
day after the French had succeeded
in taking it, is again ilmost entirely
occupied by the French. Fierce fight
ing still continues in and around the
village. Germ-in unwounded prison
ers taken in the Verdun fighting num
ber 400.
On the Somme front in northern
France thete has been little infantry'
ictivity, both the British and French
official communications failing to re
port any moves on the part of their
armies. London says the Germans
bombarded the section southwest of
Pozieres and Jso the .outliem por
tion of the Mametz wood.
Counter Attacks by Germans.
Desperate counter attacks by the
Germans in the region of the Stokhod
river, east of Kovel, have resulted in
the retirement of the H"ssian forces
which had seized the village of Rudka
Miryanskai. The fact that the village
is only nineteen miles from Kovcl,
the Russian objective on this part of
the Volhynian front, probably ac
counts for the intensity of the lighting
there.
General Sakharoff's Russian troops
continue to advance south of Brody
and toward Lemberg. Petrograd re
ports the capture of 1,300 Austro
Germans in a hot .Ufack on the line of
the Screth and Graberki rivers.
A souadron of British naval aero
planes has attacked with bombs Ger
man military establishments in th
vicinity of Ghent, Belgium. London
ays considerable damage was done
by the dropping of two tons of
bombs. Unofficial reports received in
Amsterdam apparently confirm this
claim.
Wilson and Wife on Cruise
Down the Potomac River
Washington, , Aug. 5. President
Wilson left Washington tonight on
the naval yacht Mayflower for a week
end cruise down the Potomac river
and Chesapeake bay. It was expected
that the Mayflower would go as far
as Old Point, returning to Washing
ton Monday morning.
The president took with him Mrs.
Wilson and his stenographer. Dur
ing the cruise he will work on his
speech, accepting the democratic
nomination. He has almost com
pleted it.
Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 5. That
a territory nearly 200 miles long and
from fifty to 100 miles wide was
swept by rain and hailstorms that
late last night passed ,ver northeast
ern North Dakota and northwestern
Minnesota, is indicated by reports
that have conic straggling in to this
city tonight. It was conservatively
estimated that the losses will run into
millions of dollars.
Tolna. N. D.. reported an estimated
loss of $100,000 and McVillc. $60,000
damage, due to a cyclone, which also
spread over the surrounding territory.
Reports indicate heavy damage to
the district around Aneia, Portland
and Hatton, N. L., and in a section
north of Devil's Lake, through Leeds,
Garskc and Kdmore.
Northwestern Minnesota escaped
the sweep of hail, but suffered frcVm
the wind and rain.
Racine, Wis., Aug. 4. A tornado
this afternoon ..swept the town of
Mount Pleasant, covering an area one
mile in length and a half mile wide.
Much damage was done to property,
but no one was injured.

Clarke Case Is
Taking on New
And More Angles
Columbus, N M., Aug. 5. The case
of Hugh Clarke, the Massachusetts
guardsmen under arrest here on the
charge of maligning his company of
ficers in an article sent to a Holyoke,
Mass., newspaper, grew to serious
proportions tonight when a search of
his tent revealed a list of twenty
eight comrades who had put their
names to a statement, vouching for
the truth of Clarke's allegations.
The signers, who belong to Com
pany D, Second Massachusetts in
fantry, say that they signed the state
ment after learning that Clarke had
got himself into trouble, but they
added that they did so at Clarke's
solicitation.
It is alleged that in the article con
tributed, that Clarke charged that
Captain Slate, his company com
mander, had failed to see that the
company mess was operated properly.
Officers making an investigation of
the case announced tonight that this
charge was found to be groundless
after Clarke had failed to produce
proof of the accusation.

WILSON MAY MAKE APPEAL
Washington, Aug. 5. - After a con
ference between President Wilson
and Judge Chambers, commissioner
of the I'nited States Hoard of Media
tion and Conciliation, it was indicated
today that the federal government
would take no formal action to avert
the threatened strike of 400,(100 em
ployes on 2J5 railroads of the coun
try until representatives of the man
agers and workmen had conferred
next week in a final effort to reach
an agreement.
Anv immediate action by congress
was precluded when the senate com
nirrce committee tabled a resolution
by Chairman Newl.ir.ds providing lor
an Interstate t oimneiee commission
investigation of the bonis of labor on
railroads and including an appeal to
the road managers and employes to
postpone consideration of their differ
ences until the investigation was com
pleted. Favorable action on the resolution
had hern urged by the Chamber of
Commeice ol the I'nited States, and
opposed by representatives of the
railroad employes.
President Wilson was told by
Judge Chambers that the mediation
and conciliation board believed there
still was a possibility of avoiding a
strike through conferences between
the employers and workmen, or
through intervention ly the board. It
is believed the president will wait
until every other means of settlement
has been tried before intervening him
self. Should all other efforts fail, ii
is understood he will make a personal
appeal to the railroad managers and
einploycs.
The situation is expected by of
ficials to come to a crisis early next
week, when the strike vote has been
counted and the committees repre
senting the two sides to the contro
versy meet again. The mediation

A car you're proud to own a car with
power and flexibility that no other car
of its class can match a car you can
afford to drive because upkeep is so
small that's why the Haynes earned
the name AMERICA'S GREATEST 'LIGHT
SK.
There's individual beauty and refinement
to the Haynes riding comfort and luxu
ry of appointments.
The engine develops more power than
any other of equal bore and stroke it
yields any speed from a mile an hour to
a mile a minute on high, with a get-away
of 30 miles per hour within 7'i seconds.
As to economy it averages 8,000 miles
to the set of tires, 1 6 to 22 miles to the
gallon of gasoline, 400 miles to the quart
of oil.
We are now showing the new series
models of the Haynes 'Light Six" glad
to demonstrate any time you say.
