STARTS CRUSADE TO PUT GASOLINE UNDERGROUND
A general crusade has been undertaken by the State Fire Marshal department, to put gasoline underground in Indiana. Hundreds of orders have been issued already and the enforcement will be undertaken at once on the expiration of forty days time allowed to obey. The penalty provided for
each day's neglect to obey the order is a fine of from $10 to $50. The files in the State Fire Marshal departments are eloquent in arguments in favor of the underground gasoline storage tank. Accidents often .fatal in their results are of almost daily
occurrence in the State. In the "great majority of these, cases accidental and destructive fires would have been entirely eliminated had the explosive been properly stored. Warnings against efforts at concealment of improper storage tanks have been given by deputies in making inspections. One of the greatest menaces to firemen in fighting incipient blazes is found in gasoline stored in cleaning and tailoring establishments above ground. ; This class of risks has received special attention.

BY FREDERICK PALMER. Staff Correspondent of the International News Service.. British Headquarters In France, June 25. (By mall to New York, July 14.) Some details may now be given of the brilliant chapter in the recent British operations in support of the French offensive movement around Arras: That of the Canadian divisions' struggle , for gains around Festubert and Givenchy, in which grim work ; waa required before any progress could be made in the trench warfare. At Festubert the objective of the Canadians was a small orchard. The Third Company of the Sixteenth Battalion Highlanders, commanded by
rant a in Mnrrlson was civen the task
These men were recruited in British
Columbia, many of them living in van eouTr. ' ..
A rush for the orchard was started at 7:45 o'clock in the evening, each platoon having a definite object to. accomplish. In front of the orchard the men found a deep creek hedge, having
only two openings In front. Morrison started to go through the hedge, but Private Anoleton, a bomb-thrower,
sorane ahead of him. saying:
"Bomb throwers go ahead of officers
sir." Meet Machine Gun Fire.
Once in the orchard the men met with heavy rifle fire and machine gun fire, but swept on to the edge. Owing to the onforseen delay one platoon whose presence was the most essential to the plan of attack, was unable
to get up in time to support ine attack. -
The men who reached the edge of the orchard where the dead-, and
wounded had been left, dug them
selves in with the ready industry of
western , beavers, and, stuck against
all odds until help came, making the orchard securely theirs. Many stories are told of the coolness of the men. Amidst the din of fire, Sergeant Cochran called to his men to keep their line straight, and Private Ridley, upon geeing a rabbit
scurrying past, sang out:'
"Look at bunny, will you?" Elsewhere on the front, the first
party belonging to the First Company
of Canadians, who went over the par
apet, were in such an exposed position as to be nearly annihilated without even reaching the German trenches. But a portion survived from the
advance on the other flank, and got a foothold in a German trench where they bombed out the enemy. Every counter effort of the Germans to oust them failed. Though their position was torn into craters by German shell fire, they stuck, and the British line on this part of the front remains where the determined heroes pf that sanguinary action put it. , In the face of murderous machines
Of war and modern fire, which dropped men right and left, they had won a mighty struggle, no leas glorious because it vwas only a part of a big whole. "If soldiers ever fought their way to admiration," said a British general, "certainly these Canadians who, -less than a year ago. were raw recruits, did so." At Givenchy, they deserved success no less, but there they failed. Here, in front of the first battalion, the Germans had two strongly fortified points which the Canadians sought to. take. They successfully mined one and coincident with the explosion opened up a concentrated fire with their guns against both positions.
Number four company then rushed through the opening space between the two positions made by the explosion to the German trench, reaching it with only a few casualties. So completely had they surprised the enemy that on entering the trench the Canadians found that some of the Germans who had fled had left their accoutrements hanging upon the walla. Rear Position Held. The German fortified position to the rear, which had not been mained was still able to work the machine guns, enfilading any movement of the Canadians to support the troops that had gained the German trench. The Germans, being reinforced and being plentifully supplied ' with bombs, closed in upon their hostile visitors
and forced a retirement. Every step
of the way back was made under the enfilading fire from the fortified po
sition. The next morning soldiers in
the. German trenches called out in ex
cellent English: "Hello, Canadians." The answer was shouted back:
"Hello Germans. Did yot have
many losses?" Trooper Denies Loss. A German soldier called out: "A good many. How about you?" To this a Canadian answered:
"None at all."
There was a moment's silence, and
then a German shouted:
"You are a damned liar." One would recognize gallant Cana
dians in their billets in -French villages, these warm summer days, by the way they have their sleeves rolled
up and their shirts open at the throat as they would at home.
"I guess they are finding we can do
out bit," is the sentiment of the Can
adians, and it looks as if they are going to miss the green corn season in Canada, too.
