HAIG FORCES ENEMY BACK IN ANOTHER YPRES SMASH

Fresh Thrust Made by British with Help of French Infantry Makes Big Advance. FRONT IS NARROW In cooperation with the French on his left. Field Marshal Haig launched a new blow along a narrow front at the German lines, northeast of Ypres this morning. The allied infantry moved fatward ir-. the neighborhood of the YpresStaden railway and on the outskirts of Houtholst wood, on the extreme northern edge of the active front in Flanders. The French advance was along a width of about three-fifths of a mile. The British attack was probably along a somewhat wider fraht, extending toward Poelcapelle and possibly taking in the area of that town, which has been the scene of some desperate fighting within the last few weeks. The '.German reactions were extremely persistent here. ' Score Early Successes. Both groups of attacking troops scored early successes. Paris announces that all objectives were obtained by the French troops while Field Marshal Haig reported satisfactory progress for the British. The operation apparently is aimed at bringing the left flank of the allied advance somewhat farther forward as I a support to the center, where the wedge has been driven farther into the German front British naval airmen who raided German bases in Belgium and conduct- j ed scouting operations over the enemy's territory yesterday brought orj forced six German airplanes. Russ Outwit Foe. Russian naval units in the northern part of the gulf of Riga have outwitted the superior German forces and have escaped from Moon sound, where they apparently had been bottled up after the engagement in and about the sound last week. The Russian warships made their escapes without losses and are now in position protecting the northern entrance to Moon sound. , t . , "... The new position of the Russian squadron probably will compel the Germans to give battle If they wish to enter the gulf of Finland by going through the Bound between Dago Island and the coast of Esthonla. The military forces in the Moon sound region were moved successfully by the Russians, who also rescued their transports and smaller craft. Before their retirement they destroyed all positions of military value to the enemy. In addition to the warships and transports already reported sunk by the Russian units, Petrograd reports the sinking of another German transport by a Russian submarine. Two torpedoes were fired by the same submarine at a German dreadnought of the Markgraf type, vessels of 25,000 tons displacement. Being attacked, the submarine was unable to note remits. One torpedo detonated and the submarine on rising again saw clouds of smoke. Berlin officially admits the loss of four Zeppelins of the squadron which raided England Friday night. The official statement, however, falls to announce the safe arrival home of the other members of the contingent. Berlin claims that several English cities and parts were attacked with "special success," including London, Manchester, Birmingham and Hull. U, C.

Drag Cash from Sock and Invest in Bonds Is Secretory' s Tip

CHICAGO, Oct. 22. Declaring that the Liberty loan affords a splendid opportunity for the removal of the family savings from the stocking to a safer place. Secretary Daniels in an address before the Iroquois club here, today made a stirring appeal for the success of the second offering. "Money is plentiful in America," declared the secretary. "The banks are overflowing with it; the stockings are bulging out with it. That depository is not the safest. I would advise all who use that ancient depository to take ever dollar out and put it in Liberty bonds. "I wish every dollar in America was on legs, so that it had to march up the 6treet and ride on the street cars to get home. Then we could see the dollars and enlist them in the selective draft Under the law we have the right to do so, but ihe first Liberty loan was responded to so chefully and so fully that there was no r.Jeessity and there will be no necessity now. "Just as truly as a republic can lay its hand on a youn man and send him to France in the trenches, so it can and will, if necessary lay its hands on every dollar in America." RICHMOND HAS 3,500 TONS Richmond is fortunate as compared with other cities in Indiana, in reference to the coal situation, according to members of the Commercial club committee that has started an Investigation of the coal situation here. According to statements made by coal dealers at a meeting of the ocal dealers and members of the committee held Saturday, the coal supply in Richmond is about normal for this time of the year, and the acute shortage, felt in other cities in the state is not noticeable here. 3,500 Tons On Hand. Dealers, however, say that the sup ply in Richmond Is sufficient to last only about three weeks, there being enough coal in the yards of the city to supply the demand of private consumers for that length of time. According to coal deaWrsrthere is about 3,500 tons of coal in Richmond yards at the present time and the weekly consumption in Richmond ismore than 1,000 tons. The committee appointed by the Commercial club is only a voluntary organization of the club, organized to assist Coal Director Woollen in his survey of the state. As soon as the state administration is organized, according to Secretary Albus, a permanent committee will be organized in Richmond to look after the situation here. LITTLE GIRL HIT BY CAR Marjorie Leach, seven years old, daughter of A. M. Leach, 327 Southwest First street, was seriously in jured Sunday morning when she was I struck by an automobile driven by Dr. George Ferling, on the National road, just west of the temporary Main street bridge. The little girl, with her sister, was on her way to Sunday school and just before reaching the west end of the bridge she attempted to cross the road. Stepping from behind one machine, she walked directly into the path of the Ferling car and was thrown to the ground. She was unconscious for the greater part of Sunday but the attending physician said she would recover. Oaf Again, in Again, All in Same Day Charles McCarron was no more out of jail until he was back In again.

NEW ORDER TO LIGHTEN WORK No Instructions concerning the change in the method of selecting men for the United States National army have been received by Richmond army board officials, according to a stater ment made Monday morning by Sheriff Carr, president of the board. It was stated by the board, however, that the new arrangement would probably make the work of the local boards lighter, in that it divided the men into definite classes and that the confusion caused by exemption laims would not be so great. Whether the new order will affect those men who have already been called and either exempted or discharged, was not known by the Richmond officials. It was presumed, however, that themen who have already been disposed of by the board will be placed on the new lists In their respective classes.

Church Societies Give Liberty Bonds to Endowment Fund

Societies of First Methodist church are making their money do double duty. They are buying Liberty bonds and giving the bonds to the church endowment fund. Two.Biole classes, the Brotherhood and Golden Rule, and the Epworth League are buying bonds of the secend issue. The bonds go to the church endowment fund started several years ago. Rev. R. L. Semans, pastor of the church, preached Sunday morning on the Liberty Loan, urging his congregation to buy the bonds.

Responding to an advertisement which appeared In newspapers in Newark, N. J., nearly 800 men representing a dozen or more lines of Industrial activities arrived here today to find that apparent ly they were victims of a hoax. Nearly all of them carried the tools of their trade with them. They had been engaged, several of the men said, to come to Baltimore to work for an airplane company and had been promised steady work at high pay. The men came here in a special train from Newark after having paid a three dollar fee each to an employnent agencv and their railroad fare. They were to have been met here by a man who was to have conducted them to ' thel" new place of employment but he failed to appear. The airplane company named has no branch in this city so far as is known and none is cintemplated. Some of the men thought a mistake ir. their destination had been made but a larger part of them said they believed they had been hoaxed. Kennedy Mnst Make 17th Trip to "Pen" Sixteen times, Robert Kennedy, 35 years old, bade good-bye to the grey walls with iron bars across the windows. But Monday morning in Wayne circuit court, he was sentenced to take his seventeenth trip to the "pen," and there spend from one to eight years for petit larceny. Kennedy was arrested and convicted of the charge of entering the house of James Bocknell, a farmer, and stealing an overcoat valued at $20. He has been- arrested 18 times, according to his own statement, and has been convicted of 16 charges.

Pershing Cables List of Losses on Antilles; Indianian Included

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. Sixty-, seven lives were lost when the army transport Antilles went down last Wednesday by the torpedo of a German submarine. The official list of casualties cabled today by General Pershing shows 67 lost; total survivors, 170 and one unaccounted for. The casualty list shows that not all the killed were Americans. Many who were probably killed by the explosions, came principally from Spain and Portugal. Many of the non-commissioned officers lost among the American troops were men of foreign birth. Two of them were Germans by birth, and now having mothers living In Germany, one in Berlin and the other in Oldenberg. General Pershing's report throws no new light on the circumstances of the i attack and so fas as is known neither 1

MILLION MARK EXPECTED TO BE PASSED ON LIBERTY DAY

Seventy-Five Volunteers to Canvass City for Bond Sales on Wednesday Force is Formidable. WHISTLES TO BLOW On Liberty Loan day, next Wednesday, Richmond is expected to swell the total of Liberty Bond subscriptions to well over the million dollar mark. In fact the way subscriptions poured in to several banks today the million dollar mark in Richmond alone may be reached before Wednesday. The "booster" committee, composed of approximately seventy-five Richmond business men, were formally notified today and there was not a refusal noted. One or two men whose business affairs called them from the city on Wednesday were compelled to decline, but the force that wiU be in the field will be formidable and the leaders in the movement declare that success Is certain. The "boosters" are to meet at 12 o'clock sharp at the commercial club rooms where a luncheon will be served, every committeeman paying his "bit." At 1 o'clock factory whistles will sound, church and fire bells will be rung, and the announcement will thus be made to the city that the drive for bonds is under way. Won't Be Urged. There will be no urging or persuasive powers used. The committee members take it for granted that every man and woman in Richmond has long since become acquainted with the fact that buying a Liberty Bond means a good business stroke as well as a patriotic act. The persons visited simply will be informed that the time is here to take this action; that the time is past to "resolve to do," and hat delay not only will curtail the total, but will put Richmond and Wayne county in an undesirable light before other cities and counties of equal size. Thousands of witge earners are buying $50 and $100 bonds; some of them paving cash and many of them purchasing from the banks on small weekly payments, the banks fixing the payments to suit the purchasers. The city of Richmond will probably become the owner of Liberty bonds amounting to $50,000. An ordinance appropriating $50,000 with which to purchase the bonds, the money to come out of the general fund of the City light plant, will be introduced at a special meeting of City Council oMnday night and It is believed by city officials that it will be unanimously passed. City officials not only feel that tt Is a patriotic duty to purchase Liberty bonds but they are also convinced that it is a good investment. It was first decided to purchase only $25,000 worth of the bends but as more than $50,000 will be in the general fund of the light plant by the first of next year it was decided lo prepare an ordinance and ask council for authority to purchase double this amount. Of the ordinance Is passed an equal amount cf the bonds will be purchased at all of the banks in Richmond. RANEY PRESIDENT. EATON, O., Oct. 22 A. R.
