He also reported a successful raid I
around Haigicourt.
“A heavy incessant rain has fallen ■
throughout the past forty eight hours,” i
says the statement.
“In the neighborhood of the Ypres-;
Roulers railway. where the enemy has i
succeeded at great cost in gaining a
foothold in our advanced positions, our
counter-attack launched late in the
evening drove ha'-k the German in
fantry at all points and completely re
established our former lines. On th
remainder of the Ypres battle from
there was no change.
“On the right of the British line. :

respondent of Reuter’s limited, says: <
“Despite the weather, there lias been
much hard fighting during the past i
twenty-four hours. The Germans wee i
manifestly perturbed at orir gaining so
much high ground along the '

perafe counter attacks although th -re
were repeatedly < ’ e -Ved by our ar il

The Germans delivered two counter
ittacks just north of Frezenberg and

inillery fire in these positions and at
line o’clock at night delivered a coun-
I :er attack.
The heavy artillery duel continued '
n the region of St. Julien, from which !

Facing Starvation Willing to
Barter For U, S. Supplies.
j Washington. Aug. 3.- Norway fa< es
starvation if the United States cuts
oft exports ot food.
She is ready to release a million
tons of tier shipping in return for the
privilege of impi t ug food principally
from tlie United States.
Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, head of the
j Norwegian mission to the United
States declared that Norway faced
privation if the UuL'ul S - a es enforced
aa export embargo against tier.
Dr. Nansen compared possible con
ditions with thus- existing dur ! ng the
Napoleonic wars when the Danish fleet
was taken by the Kngllsh tid Norway
was forced to side with France. He
did not intimate that Norway would be
compelled to ah mdon her neutrality,
but said she would m intatu Iter pres
ent position, as Norwegians t an see no
possible benefit to any one If they
should take active sides.
Norway before the war had three
million tons of shipping. The Ger
mans have destroyed one uvlllon. Nor
way now needs one million for Jler'&Tt>.
wants, and is willing to devote the re
mainder to the carrying needs of
countries I
What Norway needs now are fats,
sugar aud grain. Dr Nansen said tiiat
Norway would give a guarante - tjhat
none of these things would be sent to
Germany.
The Norwegian ships would he put
into the coastwise trade as soon as
congress revises the navigation laws
to permit foreign ships to do so.

MINE CAVE WRECKS HOME
Mother and Six Children Narrowly
Escape Death.
Scranton. Aug. 3. —Mrs, Fred Kite-,
man and her six children, ranging in
age from eighteen months to ten years,
narrowly escaped being injured or kill-|
ed when a mine cave badly damaged
their home in South Scranton.
An opening thirty hy twenty feet
was caused hy the settling which ear-|
ried down a part of the building.
That the family was not in the build- 1
ing when the cave occurred was due j
to the action of a miner who climbed
through a nearby hole, caused by a
recent cave and warned them of the
danger. Mrs. Kitzman was putting
one of her younger children to bed
at the time, but fortunately aill succeed
ed in leaving the house before the real
settling started.
Two weeks ago Mr. Kltiman was al
most killed while walking to his work.
When a short distance from the house
the earth under him gave way and but
for the action of his wife, in helping
him out of the hole, with the aid of
a clothesline, it is believed he would
■*ave been smothered.

iYou Can Shake Loose from
The Tortures of Rheumatism
By using S. S. S.
The germs of Rheumatism are in
the blood, which is laden with mil- 1
lions of the minute demons of pain,;
causing untold suffering and bringing
its victim from vigor and strength to j
almost helplessness. To get real and
genuine relief from this disease,
these disease geruis must be com-!
pletely routed out of the system
through the blood.

No plaything will better amuse a
; small boy than a piece of rubber.
I The way the elastic material will
1 stretch to suit his fancy is a per
i petual source of joy to him.
The Annexationists of Baltimore
| seem to get fully as much delight
I in playing with the State Costitu
tion. They quote with much gravity
the sections which suit their pur
poses. but they say the section which
prohibits annexation without a refer
endum has no force. They stretch
the Constitution to suit themselves.
An article sent out by the Great
er Baltimore Extension League in
an endeavor to blind the voters of
Maryland to the danger of giving
Baltimore city a majority of the
population of the State (which effect
it is admitted annexation as pro
posed will have) asserts that Balti
more city would have no more power
after annexation than now. for
power comes from the Legislature,
and the representation of the city
and the counties is fixed by the
I Constitution. Baltimore city now
j has four Senators and twenty - four
| members of the House of Delegates,
jlt has not been very many years
| since the city had three Senators
| and eighteen members of the House.
! How did the increase come about ?
j By, a constitutional amendment.
Constitutional amendments have be
‘ come so usual that the ordinary
I voter thinks there is something
! wrong with his ballot if he does not
j find one on it.
Amendments Easily Passed
| The Annexationists tell you the
1 Constitution can not be amended
except by an act which passes
| the Legislature by a three - fifths
j vote in both houses and is then
j ratified by the people. Since they
j have announced that they will make
everything else subservient to an
! nexation and are freely using threats
: and cajoleries to swerve members of
I the Legislature to their favor, and
! have shown that they can swing
l practically the entire vote of the city
delegation in both houses in any po
litical deal or barter, it is easy to
see that they would not have much
trouble in securing equal represen
j tation for t"e city in the Legisla
ture. Give the city a numerical ma
. jority of the voters of the whole
State, and the ratification of the
amendment would be a matter of
course.
Bullying Both Sides
But the Annexationists are at
i tempting to deceive the people when
i they claim that Baltimore could
I only assert its power through the
II egislature Three is always more
than two, and party leaders will
Jbe practically compelled to yield to
I the will of the majority in making
i party platforms and influencing nom
j inations. lust now. as they did two
yeai s ago, the Annexationists are
j imperiously demanding that both
oarties insert in their platforms to
be adopted the coming fall iron
clad planks favoring annexation with-
J out a referendum. Throats are free
l ly made of what they will do to any
political leader who opposes them.
Not Bound by Partte*
Can it be imagined that the same
men and influences which are now
i attempting to •'ule both political
i parties will not lr a similar way en
deavor to dictate nominations if
: given a majority of votes with which
to back their demands and threats?
i And if their wishes are not heeded
: in making the t nominations, can any
| one doubt that they will be able to
1 take their reveage by defeating any
j candidate not acceptable ? They
have already shown their willingness
Ito do so. Facts do not bear out
I the assertion that when the become
citizens of Baltimore. Democrats re
j main Democrats and Republicans re
j main Republicans Most of them
j work together to rule the rest of
the State. No political party can be
.sure of their fealty, for they are
avowedly out to gain their own ends
by anv sort of ten porary expedient
‘ Give the city a majority of the
population of the State and you will
give it absolute control No deserv
ing man of either party in any part
of the State will be able to obtain
a State office without the approval
of the city boss. No law which doe*
not suit the “city crowd" '"ill stand
anv chance of being passeu.
I j And if such a law should slip
i through, the city would have, and
without any increase in Legislative
membership, the power to veto it.
In 1915 the People ratified the
Referendum amendment to the State
Constitution. Under this amendment
a majority of the voters mny nulli
fy any law passed by the Legisla
ture except laws regulating the sale
of liquor and the regular appropria
tion bills Under this amendment
the city could override any law of
