24.\u2014British attacks in the Albert (sector were resumed this morning, according to an official statement issued by the War Office today, which says that the British have made progress.In the fighting during the last three days the British have jcaptured fourteen thousand prisoners.- ARTILLERY ACTIONS AROUND LASSIGNY.(Canadian Press Despatch) PARIS, August 24.\u2014Artillery actions in the region of Eassigny and between the Oise and the Aisne Rivers are reported in the official statement issued at the War Office today.{Raiding operations in Lorraine are also reported.The statement follows: \u201cIn the region of Lassigny and between the Oise and the Aisne the iflght was marked by very vigorous artillery actions.\u201cFrench detachments penetrated enemy trenches on the Lorraine at «pany points and captured prisoners., \u201c'fhe night was calm on the rest of the front.\u2019\u2019 i n**\t__________________ ENEMY PREPARING TRENCHES ON THE MEUSE.(Canadian Press Despatch) LONDON, August 24.\u2014The Germans evidently expect to be pressed back to the Meuse, says the Amsterdam correspondent of the Daily Express, as they are fortifying positions along that river in Belgium.The Germans are digging extensive trenches between Dinant and Givet.Thousands of prisoners and Belgian civilians are being used in the work.Givet is ninety miles directly east of Bapaume.BRITISH TAKE LARGE NUMBER OF BIG GUNS CHEMIN-DES-DAMES SERIOUSLY MENACED.(Canadian Press Despatch) PARIS, Aug.24.\u2014The latest ad-mce of General Mangin\u2019s army, hile not completely turning the Che-in des Dames position, menaces it riously, and the fate of the German oops between the Vesle and the isne remains uncertain, according military observers here.It is decidedly against Noyon that e principal effort of the French \u2022mies at present is being aimed, oyon is menaced from the northwest id northeast and also from tha >uth, and the enemy is reduced to Shting from its left flank, from which the guns are pouring a tremendous fire incessnatly.Along the whole battlefront from Albert to Coucy-le-Chateau the fighting has been waged most furiously, especially against the armies of the British generals Rawlinson and Byng on the extreme left wing, which is encountering the Germans\u2019 most desperate resistance.It seems that the Germans are withdrawing before the armies of Generals Debeney, Humbert and Mangin without counter-attacking, apparently being satisfied not to lost contact with the French troops while retiring.Complete Batteries of Howitzers and Trench Mortars Captured in Fighting North of the Somme\u2014 Villages Occupied.(Associated Press Despatch) WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug.24\u2014A large number of cannon, including complete batteries of howitzers and trench mortars, have been captured by the British north of the Somme.Immediately south of the river the British have taken twelve cannon.The village of Behagnies, two miles and a half north of Ba-pauine on the Bapaume-Arras highway, has been reached by the British.British forces are ouer-ating east of Bihucourt, within two miles and a half of Bapaume on the west.British forces are reported to have reached points south of Benin, on the Cojul River, five miles southeast of Arras.They are in the outskirts of St.Leger further south, and have captured Ervil-lers, two miles east of Courcelles.They arc still advancing.-4- GERMANY PROTESTS USE OF INTERNED SHIPS BY SPAIN BRUGES DOCKS AGAIN HEAVILY BOMBARDED Many of the Enemy\u2019s Dump Stations and Bridges Assailed

24.\u2014General Byng\u2019s attacks of the past few days hre regarded here as having been a great success, although the enemy tried tactics of withdrawal in order to avoid battle.But the Germans lost more than three thousand prisoners, T>esides great numbers m killed or wounded, and the total British casualties, according to latest reports, have been well below the number of German prisoners taken.ü.S.BOMBING AIRPLANES DROP BOMBS ON CORFLANS (A*»ociated Prêts Despatch) With the American Army in France, August 24.\u2014 American bombing airplanes flew over Conflans between Verdun and Metz,

PARIS, August 24.\u2014The French troope on the southern part of the battle line apparently are taking a brief breathing space after days of continuous fighting under a boiling sun, leaving the British to go ahead with the offensive movement.This is in accordance with the Foch system of striking first on one sector and then another sector of the line.The Germans on the part of the front along the Divette, between Lassigny and the Oise, appear to be putting up a stout resistance.General Humbert will need time to make arrangements for overcoming the German artillery in this section.The German guns thundered all day Friday, qut failed to prevent Humbert\u2019s men from crossing the Divette in i force at Evricourt.Between the Oise and the Aisne General Mangin has made more secure his hold on the left hank of the Ailette from its confluence with the Oise to Pont 9t.Ward, west of Ooucy-Le-Chateau.His right wing continues to work eastward, its object being to clear the region north of Boissons.The troops here already have seized the heights east of Bag-neux and further north have reached the outskirts of Crecy-Au-Mont.This | advance brings them within reach j of the main highway from Soissons to Ohauny, and enables them to (Continued on page 12.) Deserters and defaulters under the Military Service Act have only up to } tonight to report for active service if they wish to take advantage of !the amnesty provided by the Order-in-Council passed a short time ago.After this evening deserters will be taken wherever they can be found, and will face heavy penalties.It is understood that the military authorities intend to make a searching and systematic hunt for deserters after tonight, and that there will be no leniency shown to those who have deliberately failed to obey the regulations.Deserters caught after tonight will be tried by court-martial, and given the extreme penalty of the law, which will have power to impose the heavy sentences provided by the Military Service Act.It is stated by Col.Dunsmore that many men who had previously failed to report under the Military Service Act are taking advantage o| the amnesty, but that there are still many who have failed to obey the regu\u2019 tions.It is understood that the military authorities will inaugurate a campaign here to round up any deserters next week.Chief Couture, who formerly assisted the military police officers in their work here, stated, today that he had not as yet received any instructions from the military authorities.However, the military police officers are expected to invade Sherbrooke and the surrounding districts at an early date next week.697 CANADIANS REPORTED WOUNDED ON CASUALTY LIST (Canadian Press Despatch) OTTAWA, ONT., Aug.24\u2014There were 697 casualties in the afternoon list issued today, all of whom were :: reported wounded.-?+ 4* 4- 4* ?\u20225* ?* *\u2022 *1*\t4 4* 4* 4* 4* 4- *\tTHE WEATHER * *\t4* ( 4.j.-j.4.4, g.g, 4.+ 4.4.4- 4* 4- 4 GENERALLY FAIR TODAY AND SUNDAY, BUT NOT QUITE SO WARM Showers and thunderstorms have been fairly general from Ontario to the Gulf of St.Lawrence and a few scattered showers have occurred in the West.A tropical storm is reported off' the Carolina coast.Moderate winds, 0 few- scattered showers, but generally fair today and on Sunday, and no* Quite so warm.Indications are that Exhibition of 1918 Will Be the Most Successful in the History of the Eastern Townships Agricultural Association\u2014Classes Have Filled Well\u2014Canada Food Board Have an Interesting Exhibit If indications are to be taken into account the Thirty-fourth Annual Sherbrooke Fair, perhaps better known as Canada\u2019s Great Eastern Exhibition, which was inaugurated today at the spacious grounds over across the St.Francis River, will be the largest, finest, best attended and most successful in the history of the Eastern Townships Agricultural Association.Previous Exhibitions held at the Sherbrooke Fair grounds have been termed highly successful, but this year\u2019s event promises to out-do all others.All details have been given careful consideration by the officials in charge, and there is one thing certain, there has never before been as numerous nor as fine exhibits as this year.In fact, everything points to the Exhibition of 1918 being a banner one, if only the Weather Man will agree to co-operate with the officials and provide suitable climatic conditions.If the old gentleman will only do this, the success of the Exhibition this year is assured beyond a doubt.Every class, and there are numerous classes to be judged during the week, has filled well.The officers in charge of the Poultry Department claim that there are almost two thousand birds entered, three hundred more than last year; while the Dog Show, an added attraction this year, has brought forth nearly two hundred entries.The horse races, too, have filled exceedingly well and some interesting competition is promised in the various harness events on the programme next week.Visitors are Arriving.Visitors started to arrive in town early in the week, and it is not anticipated that the recent increases in fares on the railroads will serve to prevent outsiders from attending the Exhibition in larger numbers than ever.A great many of the residents, especially men interested in agriculture, in the outlying districts have automobiles and will take advantage of the occasion to enjoy a motor trip with their families.In fact, a great many more farmers and others interested in the Exhibition now own the ever-popular horseless vehicles than was the case last year, for they have fully realized the value of a motor car to them in their business.The trains arriving today brought many visitors to the city to attend the Exhibition, and if they continue to arrive in such numbers tomorrow and Monday, hotel rooms will no doubt be at a premium.The managements of the local hotels all report a real rushing business already, while the stores are making preparations to do a big trade.This is \u201cPreparation Day.\u201d Today is known as \u201cPreparation Day\u201d at the Exhibition grounds and the enclosure presents a very busy scene.Workmen, decorators, exhibitors, etc., are straining every effort to have all details complete and in order for Monday.The judging will commence on Monday morning, but it is not likely that it will be in full swing until the afternoon.One of the features in connection with the judging this year is that the commitee have drawn up a regular programme, so that a person interested in a certain class will be able to know just when that class is to be judged, while it is planned to do all the important judging right in front of the Grand Stand.The List of Judges.President E.W.Farwell and Sec- (Oontinued on Page 9) THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE Buy Saskatchewan 14-Year Bonds Y'ield 6.30% These Bonds are secured by all the assets and resources of the Province of Saskatchewan.They are issued in denominations of $500.00 and $1000.00, and mature in 14 years\u2014September 1st, 1932.In our opinion these Saskatchewan Bonds offer one of the most attractive investments obtainable.Better secure your allotment now, as we have only a limited supply left \u2014Write today.Hanson Bros.BOND DEALERS.ESTB.1883 164 St.Jarne* St., MONTREAL.SIR EDMUND WALKER, C.V.O., LL.D.D.C.L, Presidem H.V.F.JONES, Au'l Gen t Manager SIR JOHN AIRD.General Manager ELS.PATTERSON.Sup\u2019t of Eastern Townships Branche* Capital Paid Up, $15,000,000 i Reserve Fund, .$13.500,000 LETTERS OF CREDIT Travellers going abroad should carry their money in the form of Letters of Credit issued by this Bank.They will then be able to obtain funds from its branches and numerous connections in foreign countries as readily as at home.\tits* manches in sherbrooke: PssfferlB Atmum (Main Office I .35.yginn Harwell.M»nasc'ok, Inverness .Uennoxvi He, Rock Island and Thetford Mine*.PAINTING And Decorating of All Kinds Loomis-Dakin Construction Co., limited General Contractors, W.F.DAKIN, B.Sc.Tel.1234 Sherbrooke, Que.S.G.NEWTON, B.Sc.- 'WJL.L.I Stanstead County Agricultural and.\u2018 Fair Ayer's Clitf lues., Wed.and Thurs.Sept.3-4-5 The All Round Live Stock, Flower, Vegetable.Fancy Work and Good Time Fair.E.W.PERRY,\tHOMER C.CURTIS, President.\tSec.-Treas., Stanstead.1 VICTORY BONDS ! 5-year Bonds, due 1st December, 1922.10-year Bonds, due 1st December, 1927.20-year Bonds, due 1st December, 1937.Price: 99^ and Interest Free from all income or other taxe* imposed by the Parliament of Canada.Fictory l.-nan Booklet ind full \\nfomuilum on request.\u2014 Investment E Seewihe* A, E.AMES & CO.TRANSPORTATION BLDG.* Montreal Union Bank Building, -\t- Toronto 74 » rood way -\t.\t-\t\u2022 Now V or* Established z, 1889\t- rjiMuuuiuiiiimmuuuuimoHifitHmkAHiiiHmutmiiiiiiiuiiitnmHK\u2019UitiHun 805524 ^07288 ,,TWO SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1918.Bringing Up Father COPYRIGHT 191Ô By George McManus WELL - t ACTED bO REAL.- SHE THOUGHT l WUZ TOO tslCK to CO OOT AND HAD A DENTtbT CALL- C V AH- «T COLLT - HE PULLED OUT THREE OF THT TEETH AN' Coinin\u2019 tonicMT C\\ TO PULL OUT'bOIME (NORE ¦ IF TOO WANT AN E*CObl;

planned to take had gone.Finally, my turn for inquisition arrived, and T was taken before a board of three officers.\" \u2018You spent the winter at Nice?* said the chief examiner.\u201c

determination of Germany to wage unrestricted submarine warfare has made the question of providing ships to make good the wastage one of momentous Importance.Months ago it became evident that a shortage of plates for steel ships was well within the range of possibility.Substitutes were, therefore, sought.One of the most promising is ferroconcrete.This material has been in use in barges, launches and, even to some extent, in larger vessels for a number of years.Consequently, it was not without hope of success that attention was turned to the construction of concrete boats to take care of the traffic on the Great Lakes and, thus, set free for coastal and ocean freighting boats at present plying thereon.A shipbuilding firm in Montreal has commenced the construction of such vessels.One of these is a 125-fect single screw steamer having structural steel ribs and keel with a hull of reinforced concrete.The shell Is from three to five inches in thickness.It is, of course, thicker than a steel plate ship, but it Is claimed that the weight of the hull is less than of a wood ship of similar dimensions.One of the outstanding advantages of this method of construction is the greet speed that may be obtained in building.Thus, work on the vessel in Plant la 27 inches lor* M i-.ehro 4v 21 inch ns hirrh SWITCH STARTS light Brighter Light; Safer Light ELECTRICITY makes better
