do more good to a suffering baby or

where else that we know of.

possible position to know just where
the needy babies are, throughout this
great city. One hundred cents in that
dollar, as in every other dollar given
to this fund, will go to buy. pure milk
and cooling ice for helpless babies
and small children.

British, who attacked them frAm all
directions. ;
The losses among the storming in
fantry for the entire engagement were
light, due largely'to the fact that the
show was over before the enemy was
able to organize.
As a special feature of the program
Australian troops on the left carried
out a simulated attack of their own,
adding nearly half a hundred prison
ers to the bag.
Taken by Surprise.
' Statements by prisoners show that
the enemy had not the slightest ex
pectation of the . British taking the
initiative at this point The Germans
felt so secure that they were devotng
most of their time to a campaign
against the epidemic known locally as
the Flanders grippe, which has sent
many of them to hospitals.
The British were over the top and
at the enemy before the latter real
ized their danger. Machine gun posts
were stormed and cleared out with
hand grenades and bayonets, Where
the Germans were holding a stretch
of trench, the attacking troops rushed
up with rapid fircrs and swept the
ditches with an intense fire that an
nihilated the defenders.
British Attack in Italy.
Rome, June 28 British troops on

pants and brought back prisoners, it
was announced today by the Italian
war office. On other parts of the front
Italian scouting parties engaged in
brisk fighting.
French Smash EnemyVBack.
With the French Army in France.
June 28. The first notable activity
for some time on this front occurred
early this morning, when the French
executed a successful local operation
southwest, of Soissons and on the bor
ders of the forest of Villers Cotterets.
Several positions whose continued
possession would have permitted the
enemy to prepare a future offensive
were captured.
The French attack was at dawn
along a front of 6,000 yards and the
fighting proceeded throughout the
day. By late afternoon when this dis
patch was filed, the French had ad
vanced considerably, taking a number
of prisoners and more were coming
in. The allied troops had reached the
outskirts of the Fosse-Bas-Cutry and
St. Pierre Aigle, where a most de
termined struggle was progressing.
The Germans had been ejected from
a portion of the forest of Villers Cot
terets southward to St. Pierre Aigle.
The French artillery was completely
dominating the enemy guns.
