WEATHER MAN SAYS WE MAY HER UP

"Hot Wave Broken, Maybe At Least -. It Is Slightly Cracked, Which Helps Soma." V .'

Let s take the weather out and "&nalyae" it now.. It's a bit cooler today, bo perhaps \v£ can discuss the matter :t Without losing our temper. Alter statements given out Thursday by Meteorologist William R. £ade, it can .safely be said that the recent weather has

Hot been "approaching a limit," but

teas actually exceeded it. When the thermometer registered 105 Monday of this week, it was the highest yet recorded in this section. The nearest to

It was 104, which was peached, July 10, 1911. i v- Doc. Cade sez about the weather, sez Ake: "An' that.aint all, either! Terry Hut

Hint the only place what's made the hottest record! A41 the sections of the country from the Rockies to the Atlantic, even the territory on the lakes, have had the highest temperatures in their recorded weather history."

Now all that's easy to understand, Jbut when he gives this explanation, ]which follows, it may take some time •f4to digest it^ "Now this unusually high temperature is caused by peculiar situation of fcarometic formations and their slugjrish movements." i He says if you don't understand It, to call him over the-telephone or, bet--.tar still, come up to see him.

Then the forecast that he give* out trhich reads something like this: "Thunder showers tonight or Friday cooler Friday," is enough to make a fellow almost forget these last Ave days of strenuous efforts at holding -On to one's existence.

LONDON, Aug. 8.—Earl CUKOB, of Keddelston. government leader in the liousc of lords, in a speech today said 'the imperial war cabinet had not yet itiFCussed the subject of imperial preferences. The government, he added, -would act in the matter in concert with its allies and especially the United

States, At the end of the war the British em'f ire and the United States would control the greater part of the raw material of the world, Earl Curzon continued. and if It were necessary to use "this power against the enemy it could •only be done to advantage by general »greempnt nmong the allies.

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 8.—The burgomaster of Arnsborg, Westphalia, Germany, having failed in all endeavors to induce the farmers of the neighborhood to bring in supplies, placed this advertisement in the local newspaper as a final hope: "This municipality will buy all agricultural products for cash at government .prices. Every,person who delivers 100 pounds of bread grain or 300 pounds of potatoes will receive a ticket entitling him to buy a bottle of brandy or rum at reduced prices from the municipal cellars."

Every suit in the house goes at the big reduction which makes them cost you but half what they will cost you next season. Don't neglect to come while there remains enough to guarantee the kind of suit you are looking for. They are going fast.

HAIG STRIKES NEW BLOW ATMWN TODAY

Continued From Page One.

crossed the ^vre-Luce valley into the jiew drive this morning. Plans Are Kept Secret.

The German positions just south of the Ancre river were heavily attacked by the British. Their assault extended to the south, where their right wing joins the French lines. Three-quarters of an hour after the British attacked the Germans the French took up the battle.

The greatest secrecy syrrounflc-t? plans for the attack. During the night the Germans heavily bontbarded the British lines, but their shells were ineffective. An extraordinary large number of tanks accompanied the storming troops, clearing the way for them in the gray light of dawn and helping to overcome enemy strong points.

FOCH RETAINS OFFENSW/E.

Allied Commander Follows Up Advantages of Recant Victories. ON THE FRENCH- FRONT IN FRANCE, Aug. 8.—This new attack, launched just three weeks after Marshal Foch's masterly counter offensive against the western side of the Sois-sons-Rheims salient, has been expected since the Germans were driven back to the Aisne and the Vesle. .It-was not believed that the allied commanders would permit the initiative to pass to the enemy after the stunning defeat administered to him along the Marne.

Foch is known to be an offensive fighter, and it has been predicted that a new blow would fall on the German lines before they had time to reorganize their shattered divisions behind the Vesle and the Aisn& i

Recalls 1916 Retreat.

The fighting in Picardy recalls the great offensives carried out there by the British and French in 1916, and jthe German "strategic retreat" to the Hindenburg line in February and March.

The field over which the British are fighting today is famoliar ground to them, but to the south -"the French must force the enemy back from territory Jiewly occupied during?" the March Offensive. Six miles to the eastward they will come to the old ^battle ground of Picardy.

When the Germans »wlthdrecfcr In February and March. 1917. they destroyed every house ana Building in the evacuated are^, cut down every tree, and in the words of a German military critic,4 '.'prepared the ground for future operations."

It is over this battle field that the Germans must again retreat if the allies are successful in their present attack.

Viewed on the map, the front over which the new attack is being made, was chosen because of its strategic relations to the German positions to the north and south. If the assault is successful the Germans to the north must grope ba£k over the -round they won at an immense cost In lives in March. To the south, their positions southeast of Montdidier, taken by them in the terrible battles early in June which, when they were foiled in their effort to reach Compeigne, will be in jeopardy.

Indirectly, an allied Victory from Montdidier northward would weaken the line along: thp Aisne, to which the Germans seem about to retire after their defeat north of the Marne.

No. .That would be too merciful a punishment for him. and end too quickly. would corral him, and the other ifembsrs of the Hohenzollern brood, and exile them to the mines in far eastern Siberia, where, with one of Nicholas Romanoff's exiles over them, they would be forced to mine the valuable minerals, the proceeds Of the'ir work to bemused in paying off the overwhelming war debts of the world, to rebuild Belgium, and replace devastated Frailce. I believe that this would be a worse punishment than death for the cur and his whelps, and I am positive that as the first sweat of honest toil ran across his brow William Hohenzollern would learn the truth of that old maxim: "He who wouid dance must pay the fiddler.

Noththing could torture him more than to have his great plans for the domination of the world frustrated and to see the real peace which our allies will dedicate at the end of the war and which will bring justice to all suffering nations. Drive home the fact that he and all his clique are not worth the life of even one of our brave soldiers. After he is dead stuff his old hide and place it on exhibition as a warning to all future generations and add this to the inscription: "Lost but not forgotten."

No, I would not shoot him, but Gee, I would love to have him where I could poke him with a red hot poker four or five times a day and see him squirm until he squirmed his life out and suffered as he has made many other poor souls suffer.

ALLIED TROOPS PUSH FORWARD ONTHE VESLE

Continued From P«9« On*.

Lys salient have pushed forward their lines more than half a mile on a front of almost five miles between the JLawe and Clarence rivers. Apparently the German resistance was not great as Field Marshal Haig does not report any heavy fighting. It is on this sector that the enemy withdrew slightly several days ago.

Thus far Genera! Foch has not thrown very large forces to the north of Vesle. The units which have crossed are stretched along the Rheims-Sois-sons highway and are meeting with stubborn resistance from German infantry and machine gun organizations.. Several enemy counter attacks have beea withstood fuccessfully by the French and Americans, who are striving to dislodge the enemy from the low hills bordering the fiver.

Artillery Is Active.

Over the entire front between Soissons and Rheims the artillery duel continues intense. The allied artillery has been aiding the infantry north of the river by breaking up some of the German infantry attacks. Enemy guns in use appear to be only of medium calibre, and it Is believed they have their heavy guns north of the Aisne in preparation for an eventual-retire-ment from between the rivers.

The French movement north of Rheims is local in character as yet, but any advance by the allies here adds to the danger of the German position within the angle formed by the Vesle and Aisne rivers. West qf Soissons. the other end of the Rector, the Germans are showing signs of nervousness and have carried out. two surprise

The British progress between the Lawe and the Clarence la in the region southeast of St Evanant, the apex of the irregularly shaped salient and in the lowing ground northwest of Bethune. The German position here is hardly aa important as that on the northern side of the salient around Mont Kemmel. East of the Nieppe forest, north of St. Evanant, British patrols have taken 30 prisoners from the Germans. North of the Somme, in Picardy, the British have repulsed further German efforts to advance astride the Bray-Corbie road.

Apparently the movements both afon# the Vesle and in Flanders are in their opening stages. It may be several days more or less before their full significance is clear. The initiative, however, still remains with General Foch.

PLANNING FINAL 8TRIKE.

Gen. Foch expects to Cntf W*r Next Spring With One Blow. WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—Backed by a reservoir of 5,000,000 American troops Field Marshal Foch, supreme commander of the American and allied armies, is preparing to hurl the entire united military strength of France, Great Britain and the United States against the Germans on the western front in order 1o bring th% war to a victorious conclusion in the shortest possible time. Next spring will see the terrific conflict, already in progress on the AisneVesle line in full swing with Foch's armies Striking with all their power.

This was the Impression gained today by members of the senate military committee who heard General March, chief of stafE.

It appeared possible that the success of that blow had influenced American officials, who continuously have pressed for a vigorous aggressive campaign at the earliest possible moment, and with attention concentrated on the western

As the project Is understood, although no details were obtainable, its is contemplated to place an army of substantially 3,000,000 American troops In France before tfce spring campaign opens, backed by 2,000,000 more at home, moving forward as needed. In this connection intimations that thes Biitlsh have made extraordinary efforts, to concentrate troops on the western front in the last few months become* Increasingly significant.
