They are reported to be re-attacking this village. | Behagnies, just to the north, was taken. | Huns Battle Desperately for Retention of Bapaume, Report : The British are reported to have captured Becordcl and reached | the high ground southwest of Fricourt. The British passed well beyond Happy valley. The situation at Thiepval is uncertain. Led-Boiselle and Ovillers are reported to have been wrested from the enemy. Miren- mont appears surrounded by the British. The British are reported to have reached Briefvillers, a AL and a quarter from Bapaume. Fight- ing there is in the vicinity of Mory, east of the Arras-Bapaume road. | The battle is furious in the vicinity of Bihucourt and Sapignies. The Germans are trying desperately to save Bapaume. There was heavy fighting in Flanders this morning on a small scale in the neighborhood of Dranoutre ridge in the Lys salient, which was reported captured by the Germans. The British gained some| ground in the same region. Fighting continues. Fourteen Thousand Prisoners in Three Days’ Time by British . LONDON, Aug. 24.—British attacks in the Albert sector were resumed this morning. The British are Progressing, says the official statement. Fourteen thousand prisoners were taken in three days. French Continue Progress, But Drive Is Slackened, Says Report PARIS, Aug. 24.—The French have cleared the south banks of the Oise-and the Ailette rivers of Germans as far east as Pont St. Mard. They are now firmly reestablished north of the Ailette. The French continue to progress southeasterly, opposite Coucy le Chateau. The French are advancing west of Noyon upon Quy. The rate of progress between Matz and Soissons is generally slackened, however. LONDON, Aug. 24.—Noyon is expected to fall at any moment, according to information this afternoon from the battle front. ICE FAMINE’ TO HELMET. TROPHY DOWN IN DRIVE FOR U3.

ELSIE FERGUSON AT IRIS SUNDA The sacrifice by a young woman o her happiness to save the honor of her family threatened by the act of her erring sister, forms the basis o: “The Lie,” the new Artcraft picture starring Elsie Ferguson, which is to be displayed at the New Iris theater Sunday. The superior excellence of this photoplay, coupled with the prominence of Miss Ferguson in her chosen field, doubtless will insure an enormous business at Manager Sam- ple’s house during this display. tab RE es PAN MOTOR CAR BE AVERTED BY GFF DEAD HUN WINTER, CLAIM RECEIVED HERE Installation of New Storage Will, Prevent Repetition of Short- age Existing During the Recent Months Corporal Hartman Bags Boche and Sends Souvenir to Wife in | Casper; Shrapnel Sam- ple Is Included The ice famine, which has been rather noticeable in’ Casper at times during the summer, will be overcome within 90 days, with the installation of a 35-ton, 10-car storage plant, The first German helmet to arrive jin Casper, so far as we know, came \in a gunny sack last night as a trophy jfrom Corporal M.
